Reviews A
We’ve already established that the Ready to Paint series is really rather excellent and is being handled well by its publisher, so it’s only
necessary to decide whether the individual titles do it and themselves justice. One of the problems with animal painting is that, all too
often, the finished results have a stilted look. Animals have a dynamic quality, even at rest and the merest hint of a hard edge can T
destroy any sense of reality. Paul Apps manages to capture the doggy aspects of his subjects superbly: the softness, the gentle curves
and, above all, the hang of the fur – which he does by a considerable amount of suggestion rather than heavy detail work, something I
which admirably suits a book aimed at the beginner end of the market.
