Description
The Ready to Paint series provides six tracings for readers to pull out and transfer on to the painting surface. There is one for each of the F

five step-by-step demonstrations, plus a bonus tracing of the inspirational painting in the Introduction section, and full instructions on
how to transfer the images. People who want to learn to paint horses without relying on their drawing skills have everything they need O
in this book. Dave White shows his expert knowledge of painting horses with acrylics, including painting harmonious backgrounds,
applying glazes and building up detail in layers. The tracings are often used more than once to re-establish the image over opaque layers
of acrylic paint. The tracings and clear step-by-step photographs explain the painting process in great depth and make it easy for readers R
to reproduce all of the projects, which include a horse galloping on the shore, a horse portrait, a mare and foal, a show jumper and a
steeplechaser.

The muscle structure, movement and physique of horses makes them quite hard to draw while capturing their glossy coats in paint can
be very hard. Dave White has created an extremely useful book designed to help artists overcome these problems. Even beginner artists T
can achieve a satisfactory result by using the tracings supplied. Hints and advice are given in drawing and painting horses in different
styles - a show jumper, mare and foal, steeplechaser and a grey Connemara horse running in the sea. There are step by step projects that
can be followed, with full directions as to the individual paints and techniques required to complete the picture. This is a very helpful I
book, which can be used by both novice and advanced artists to develop skills in drawing and painting these beautiful animals. Definitely O
worth a place on any artists bookshelf.
