Cute Country Animals You Can Paint teaches you how to paint the sweet, expressive faces and soft fur or feathers of cute baby animals and their nurturing mothers in 10 full step-by-step projects. From little lambs to sleepy chicks and a gangly foal, these animals are active, funny, and adorable. 12 mini-demos show readers how to capture the idyllic sweetness of life in the country and to paint the background elements such as grass, straw, fields, fences, flowers and meadows that make up the country and farmyard homes for their animal subjects. A special full-spread chart shows how to paint fur and feathers of all kinds and how to create the markings and coloration for specific breeds.About the Author Jane Maday began her professional art career at age 14 as a scientific illustrator for the University of Florida.
