Wildlife Landscapes You Can Paint

Capture the beauty and serenity of animals in nature

If you love nature and life’s simpler things, you’ll love painting with Wilson Bickford. In this book, with a teaching style as easy and inviting as his paintings, Wilson guides you step by step through ten charming wildlife scenes on canvas.

   • Projects feature a variety of beloved animals including deer, black bears, blue herons, loons, ducks, swans and woodpeckers
   • Learn to paint a range of breathtaking settings – sparkling lakes, majestic mountains, forest retreats and even atmospheric effects like hazy sunsets, snow-laden pines and rippling water.
   • Includes mini-demonstrations that focus on key landscape elements such as trees, rocks, water and clouds.
   • Each project includes color swatches showing which mix is used where and easy-to-follow directions.


Simpler is always better when you’re just starting out. These projects require minimal equipment, only five colors and absolutely no previous experience. Wilson loves to paint them – and with his friendly, straightforward approach, you will, too!
