Andrew Forkner's book provides you with all you need to paint a range of birds from all over the world, in acrylics. This book contains information on the materials and preparation you will need to capture the delicacy and majesty of the subjects. Discover 26 striking and characterful bird species including: Kingfisher This is a species stated by many people as one of their favourites and I have to admit that it is also one of mine. Although it is probably the most colourful bird to be found in the British Isles, few people ever get to see one. Kookaburra This Australian bird, well known for its loud, ‘laughing’ call, inhabits woods, parks and gardens, so it may come as a surprise to many people that it is actually the largest member of the kingfisher family. Atlantic Puffin Instantly recognisable, the puffin commonly features in the top ten of people’s favourite birds. Its friendly, comic appearance, small size and gregarious nature all help to endear it to us. Bald Eagle This magnificent bird is the only eagle that is unique to North America and its striking white head and tail give it an unmistakeable appearance. European Bee-eater For many birds their name does not always give much indication as to their habits, or food preference, but with the bee-eater, you get exactly what you would expect! Barn Owl I will always remember the first time I saw a barn owl hunting over the long grass in the field behind our house. It was late evening, with failing light and suddenly I noticed a white shape in the gloom, flapping along the hedge line. Green Woodpecker When this bright green, yellow and red bird lands on someone’s lawn the first thought is that it must be a foreign vagrant or an escapee from a tropical bird collection. Eurasian Hoopoe At first sight you could be forgiven for thinking that the hoopoe had been created by a flamboyant fashion designer. Its shape, plumage, patterns and wonderful erectile crest would not look out of place on the catwalk. Filled with clear and easy-to-follow step by step projects.
