About the Artist         

About the Author

Valerie Baines has drawn and painted as long as she can remember and has always had an interest in the wild-life around her. As a school-child she reared butterflies (especially cabbage whites, because she didn't like cabbage) and kept various pets, who were models for drawings and paintings. She now lives in Sussex, and finds much inspiration in the countryside around.

Reviews

"should appeal to the more experienced artist who wants to do their own thinking without being led by the hand at every stage"
