The Kindle version is a poor substitute for the print bookBy Stephen HamlinI purchased the electronic version of this book after purchasing a used copy of the print version of the first edition (Painting Wildlife Textures Step by Step) and finding a number of pages missing. The seller of the used copy gave me a generous refund and allowed me to keep the book. Because of the circumstances. I had the opportunity to compare the print and electronic versions. The Kindle version is a poor substitute for the print book. The illustrations - one of the chief reasons for buying the book - are tiny and lack some of the information contained in the same illustrations in the print version. If this is typical of art books in the Kindle format. I wont be buying them anymore.Regarding the book itself. its very good. but I found it quite repetitive by the time I got half way through it. I found myself wishing the author had spent less time repeating the same information and added some depth to the text descriptions instead. Also. he recommends brush sizes. but fails to tell the scale of the painting. I guess were to assume the illustrations are actual size. but with the disparity between size of the illustrations in the two editions I have. that cant be true in all cases.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very informative bookBy RandyIve been painting wildlife for many years now with a technique that Ive developed along the way. The steps in this book were a slight variation to the method that I have been using and were just the thing that I needed to improve my artwork. I have always worked from dark to light in my acrylic paintings. but had struggled with just the right shades from darkest to lightest when painting the actual wildlife in the scene. With the techniques in this book. the color graduations are very simple to accomplish. The explanations and illustrations are clear and concise and will lead any artist. no matter what level. to producing better wildlife art.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
