Beschreibung

If you're a woodburning artist with a love of nature and animals, Pyrography Patterns will make it easy for you to create vibrant and attractive wildlife images. Award-winning pyrography artist Sue Walters offers 30 dynamic North American wildlife patterns to use in woodburning projects. These engaging animal subjects-including geese, eagles, bear, deer, wolves, foxes, owls, chipmunks, cougars, and more-are presented in harmonious natural settings. Large ready-to-use designs are provided in both line and tonal patterns. Amazingly detailed tones are shown directly over each line drawing, to guide you in darkening your picture with ultra-realistic, lifelike effects. The author includes tips on transferring patterns, plus advice on segmenting and manipulating the images to create your own custom designs.
