Renowned artist Lin Wellford gives easy-to-follow directions for creating your very own rock menagerie. You'll learn everything you need to know to paint the mane of a majestic lion or the dramatic black and white stripes of a zebra. Each of the 11 projects includes patterns, step-by-step photos, and tips for choosing the best rock. Simple techniques help you achieve amazingly realistic details, from the brightly colored feathers of a toucan to the baggy skin of an elephant. Also in this book, Lin will show you her special technique for combining rocks to create animals with even more dimension. In just a few easy steps you can create a long, graceful neck for a giraffe or the curved trunk of an elephant. You'll also find beloved petting zoo critters, including a fuzzy baby chick, a playful piglet, and a cuddly lamb. With Lin Wellford, painting your own special zoo is as easy as picking up a rock.
