Animals, like humans, are unique in the sense that no two are identical. The differences in hair, fur, texture and color is numerous. An animal’s fur color is rarely one tone. Shadows, reflections, and highlights all add to the variation in color. If you would like some ideas and guidelines for creating basic paint formulas for obtaining the correct fur colors, keep reading.

Let’s start with what may be the trickiest color for fur; white. White fur is not pure white. You should always add other colors to the white. If you want a cool variation, add a touch of black to create a soft gray. If you desire a warm tone, add a small amount of burnt umber. As you work your layers, you will lighten this white. The very final layers may be pure white as highlights.

Next, we will create brown fur tones. For browns, start with white and add red and burnt umber. Add more burnt umber for darker brown fur. Red fur, as on a fox or cat, would be created by starting with the brown mixture and adding cadmium red medium to it. Adding more or less burnt umber and cadmium makes variations of red fur.

Many animals have yellow tones in their fur or hair. Use a light brown mixture and add some cadmium yellow medium. The value you create depends on how much yellow or burnt umber you use.

The last basic color for animal fur is black. Like white, black fur is never pure black. A nice mixture to use for reflected areas of a shorthaired animal is black mixed with prussian blue and a touch of cadmium yellow. The mixture works nicely where you want a very sleek shiny cool look. To create a warmer look, use black with alizarin crimson and cadmium red.

It is always a good idea to experiment with color before applying it to your final painting. Practice on paper, starting with light values and darken them – creating color scales for each of the basic animal fur colors.

Remember that painted animal fur and hair colors should closely match your subject. Use the colors mentioned in this article as a starting point and add pigment to match the color needed. Have fun and enjoy learning to paint animals.

My kids are always wanting more pictures of zoo animals. This past year my wife found this magazine and it is FULL of pictures for kids. ZooBooks will definitely be a favorite for your children (and you)
The magazine is also nice because it covers a wide range of ages for children. My 4 year old loves to look at the pictures, while my 10 year old likes to work on her reading skills and learn about the animals.

The great thing about the magazine is that it not only has great pictures of animals but it has a tremendous amount of information on animal habitats. There is so much information in these magazines and the print is designed for kids.

The magazines make it easy to read for young children and will be fun for the whole family. Kids won’t be able to wait for the next issue. I know my kids are always checking the mail to see if the new issue came yet! It is such a neat experience to see them get so excited when they see the pictures of the animals and then try to make the same sounds! It has also made it a lot more fun for them to go to the Zoo because they have all the background information about the animals they are seeing.

There are some excellent publications out there for young children, and this is one of them. Take the opportunity to look into this magazine and you won’t regret it!

You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild. At one point in your life you might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city. You might have seen documentaries where professional photographers slowly crawl on the bushes just not to disturb a feeding lion or a sleeping bear. You may never know, you might get a chance to take pictures of animals freely walking in the wild. If you do get that chance you may want to consider the following tips or rules.

First of all, a lot professional photographers give respect to these animals and the environment they are in. Just be reminded that you should respect the animals and the environment; when they are provoked these animals may bite or hurt you.

Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. When provoked, an animal wild or tamed does bite to protect themselves. You must be sensitive in taking their pictures. With that in mind, be gentle in all your movements. Do not in anyway feed, interfere, or interact with animals that are sleeping, feeding, and animals who are caring for their young and most especially when they are breeding.

Be conscious. Some animals tend to leave their home when threatened, leaving their offspring unattended and helpless.

If you will be going to a place where it is privately owned, it will be best to get the owner’s consent first before you start taking pictures.

Change the flash of your camera to natural lights, so the animals will not be startled or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised.

Be very observant and patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in action of the animal and his moods. Be familiar with the subjects’ natural habitat, and never, ever provoke an animal.

Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. When you are going to capture pictures of wild animals in their habitat it is better to plan ahead, schedule and prepare when you will be taking your photo shoot. Also consider the weather, some animals do not go out when it is raining and some animals love the rain. So, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is nocturnal then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.

If you are planning to leave the city and go venture into the wild, you must really be excited about your wild life adventure. You can go as long as you are well equipped, and you have experts to back you up, and also a permit for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these or if you only have the excitement covered, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo first. You can take pictures of wild animals in a much safer environment.
