His delight in the lines of a bird so elegantly inscribed by the cut of his graver, his skill in varying texture even though he only has black and white with which to do so, his palpable pleasure in composing his subjects into joyous designs have brought something new to the portrayal of birds. It is a true privilege to provide these few words to introduce them" (David Attenborough). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.

Widely regarded as the leading exponent of wood engraving in the UK, Colin See-Paynton's engravings are collected here for the first time into a complete portfolio, accompanied by extracts of text from piscatorial and ornithological literature chosen by Keith Harwood, from such writers as Arthur Ransome, W. B. Yeats, and Thomas Bewick. "Colin has brought a new vitality to one of the earliest forms of printmaking. Although his work is based on the meticulous observation of the natural world, his talent is to invent compositions which distil the ecological and behavioural relationships of the species and their habitats. He uses his knowledge and imagination to construct engravings of great complexity and refinement and has evolved something new by the patterning and layering of his images. Later compositions, particularly those from an underwater viewpoint, use an increasingly abstract and fluid line to capture the fast and fleeting movements of birds and fish" (artist's website).
