Lee Hammond and her dog Penny in her studio in Overland Park, Kansas.
Polly Lee Hammond is an illustrator and art instructor. She owns and operates a private art studio called Take It To Art, where she teaches realistic drawing and painting.
Lee was raised and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska, but established her career in illustration and teaching in Kansas City. Although she has lived all over the country, she will always consider the Kansas City area home.
She currently lives in Overland Park, Kansas, with her family. Lee has been an author with North Light Books since 1994. She also writes and illustrates articles for other publications such as The Artist's Magazine. Lee is continuing to develop new art instruction books for North Light and has begun illustrating children's books. Fine art and limited-edition prints of her work will also be offered soon. You may contact Lee via email at Pollylee@aol.com or visit her website at www.leehammond.com .
This is my third book on acrylic painting techniques. Capturing animals in artwork can be a wonderful experience, and painting them in acrylic is fun and exciting. I hope you find this book an inspiring new adventure.
North Light Books has been my family for more than a decade now. I look forward to many more years with them. I could never fully express my gratitude for all they have done for me as an artist.
Thank you, Mary Burzlaff, for helping me once again to create an exciting new book. It would be impossible without your wonderful editorial skill.
A special thank you to Dustin Weant for helping me with the photography in my books.
This book is for Mel Theisen, Tice, who shares my passion for so many things in this world, particularly a love for our little critters! Your dedication to caring for animals and to providing homes for ones in need is such a joy to watch. I am looking forward to many years of adding to the ever-expanding zoo.
Thank you for your loving support and for helping me so much. This book never would have been completed without you quietly and unselfishly taking over the many tasks in my life that were left undone as I dedicated myself to my work. Thank you also for providing me with many of the awesome photos I used for this book.
This book is also dedicated to all of my fans and students. Without you, my career as an artist would not exist. I truly believe that art is wonderful therapy. Each day I receive some form of thank you from someone who has discovered the joy of art through my books and the satisfaction that comes from completing the projects offered within their pages. Their happiness is obvious, and I cannot help but believe that this is a living testimonial to the world becoming a better place.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty. You are more than appreciated; you are inspirational!
There are many books about painting, and there are many books on how to draw or paint animals. So what makes this book different from all of the others? If there were only one artistic approach to things, we would need only one book from which to learn. But life (and art) is not that simple. The beauty of this book is that you will learn how to draw and paint.
The lessons and examples in this book demonstrate my personal method for painting and capturing accurate shapes in my work. As a creative person, it's up to you to experiment and choose the techniques that fit your own unique, personal style.
More specifically, this book is about my technique for painting animals with acrylic paint. I will never say that it is the right way or only way to paint. It is merely my way. For those of you who have never painted with acrylics before, it will be a good introduction to the medium. If you have never drawn animals before, it may be helpful to study one of my other books first, such as Draw Real Animals! or DrawingRealistic Pets From Photographs. Drawing is an important foundation for painting. Knowing how to render something in graphite first will make your paintings more successful.
However, even if you do not have a lot of drawing experience, the step-by-step approach to the projects in this book will guide you. The grid method will train you to see shapes accurately, allowing you to make your animal paintings look realistic. Take your time, and experiment. Acrylic is a very forgiving medium. If you don't like what you have done, you can simply paint right over it. Relax and enjoy the process, and have a wonderful time with your new adventure. Acrylic is a wonderful medium. The more you use it, the more you will love it!
I have been writing art technique books for more than a decade. Thus, some publications have dubbed me the Queen of Drawing! As flatter-ing as that title is, I want people to know that I do more than just draw.
