Impressionists on the Water
Impressionists on the Water has a cover seemingly expansive enough to step right through it and onto the grass into Monet’s idyllic painting “Le bassin d’Argenteuil.” Not all of the art in this book is idyllic though–it seems that water and its channels have been used to describe nearly every mood and temperament available to man, and no matter what you’re feeling, there’s sure to be a painting in between these covers that perfectly complements it.

Draw the Special Animals in Your Life
It’s funny how animals can capture one’s love and attention, whether they live with us side-by-side, or if we just see glimpses of them by chance in nature. To watch them is rewarding. To draw them takes a studious eye and knowledge of their habitat, anatomy and even stereotypical features, such as the guarding nature of a dog.
