See and paint nature as never before!
From a perfectly posed butterfly to a delicately tinted leaf to tiny eggs in a bird's nest, realistic natural details enhance a painting's appeal. Now internationally acclaimed artist and teacher, Peggy Harris, shares her secrets.
"This is primarily a book to train your eye rather than your hand...We would not think of attaching arms or legs to the head of an animal or person, or placing the eyes on the feet; yet we frequently place incorrect vein patterns on leaves, randomly attach insect antennae or legs and so on."
With tips, painting demonstrations, fascinating facts and her own beautiful artwork, Peggy teaches you to observe nature accurately and let your knowledge give life and credibility to your painting, no matter what your artistic style.
"As you carefully examine and compare subjects from the natural world, you will inevitably become more skilled in your depiction of them."

Abstract
Best known for his lavish portraits of 17th-century nobility at the court of King Charles I in particular, Anthony van Dyck was also a master in the arts of drawing, watercolour and engraving. While his formal commissions are couched in the language of conspicuous wealth and power, his sketches and drawings display a taste for the dramatic action scene as well as a keen sense of character and humour. This book published on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Van Dyck's birth takes a close look at all aspects of the master's techniques, his subject matter from highly stylised royal portraits to sketches of a beloved dog, and the modernity of his watercolour landscapes. Through a wide variety of ink and chalk drawings the text explores the relationship of the painter with the different media, and with the artistic conventions of his time. The biography places van Dyck in his historical context and completes a fresh, unorthodox view of this artist.

Special illustrated features examine the teddy at war, literary, media and novelty bears, and there is a comprehensive section of tips for collectors.

This book is a must-have for everyone who enjoyed Foyle's Philavery. Like its predecessor, it brings together a plethora of words which appeal on account of their unusual sounds and meanings and which hint at the rich history of the English language. In this second collection, even more emphasis is given to the fascinating stories behind these weird and wonderful words.
