Painting Animals that Touch the Heart, by popular wildlife artist Lesley harrison, will help artists portray the emotion and "feelings" of certain popular animals, as well as the wonderful textures of luxuriously soft fur and glistening eyes.

There is also a gallery of inspirational pieces readers can use to paint their own animals that will touch anyone's heart.
