Tunnicliffe, is a forgotten but pivotal artist for anyone who is interested in birds. They don't make artists like him anymore, and his work is unique, perfectly accurate, but beautifully stylized in his own unique way.
This is one of my favorite of the books available used and out of print., showing all kinds of his work from sketch to finished art.
In this book you can study his methods, from quick field sketch to finished watercolors. For anyone who loves beautiful art of birds a great gem to have and hold
