First Impressions: 37 (Wildlife Art Series)

A fabulous book with plenty of ideas to inspire. Lovely illustrations accompanied by clear explanations from a very talented and knowledgeable artist.

Very good book with lots of information on printmaking.

Marvelous book. I already knew Lisa Hooper's work and think this book to be a lovely introduction to it. Her writings about her attitudes to wildlife and underlying philosophy make fascinating reading.

fine

An excellent book

Wonderful book.

Wonderfull

Langford Press wildlife art books are always of a remarkably high standard and this is no exception. Lisa Hooper is a print-maker from South-west Scotland,m specializing in wildlife, especially birds, and wild landscapes. This book focuses largely on birds and Lisa takes us through the print-making process with clear descriptions, often illustrated by a sequence of images of the print being made and printed, and the completed print, to show just how she does it Some techniques are familiar - etching, linocuts etc - but even these are developed in various ways, and others are probably new to most readers - from simple relief prints to collagraphs, monotypes, and woodblock printing with a variety of Japanese forms. The technical side is fascinating and will inspire others to have a go, surely, but even if you are not a prospective printmaker, you will enjoy simply browsing the lovely pictures in this book- bold and colourful to exceptionally subtle and delicate works. Try it! Rob Hume.
