In this work, John Busby conveys his own remarkable ability to capture the grace and motion of living birds, illustrating his ideas and suggestions with many examples of his own work.
He also uses illustrations from over 45 other talented bird artists to demonstrate a variety of principles and techniques. The text covers a wealth of topics, including choice of media, sketching from life, composition and different ways of interpreting the subject matter.
With a foreword by Bill Oddie, this is a beautiful and inspiring book which will appeal to aspiring artists and anyone who has ever been entranced by the beauty of birds.
John Busby is a well-known and much-loved bird artist, with a wonderfully light, intuitive drawing style. His many other books include Birds of Mallorca (Helm) and a series of bird-finding guides (Arlequin), as well as the first edition of Drawing Birds (RSPB).
