Deer: Artists' Impressions

by Graham Downing, The Red Spot Artists (Illustrations), Ashley Boon

In this book, eight leading sporting artists each have their own chapter in which they portray the deer in their own unique style. From delicate pencil drawings to vivid watercolours and luxurious oils, they are images to be treasured as they capture the thrill that deer evoke.
