This unusual book, wordless except for an introduction, highlights the art of painting by inviting readers to examine twelve acrylic paintings of birds. Each spread features a vivid full-page painting opposite nine enlarged details from it; each square is a composition on its own, allowing readers to consider elements such as brushstrokes, negative space, and color placement with a fresh eye.
