Reviews"This beautifully detailed guide is both an inspiration and an educational tool that will stimulate the imagination. The explanation for which materials to use and how they affect the finished picture are invaluable to a novice and probably act as a nice reminder for the more advanced artist. I enjoyed the way the author demonstrates how one step builds on another, including the use of ovals to form the basis for a figure and the curved lines to suggest motion. This is a book that can encourage one to explore realms only limited by one's own imagination and shows that there are multiple ways to look at something, as each artist demonstrates a unique style of fairies. I think there is something for everyone, whether a casual doodler or a serious artist, as step by step drawings and in-depth discussions of composition, effects of light placement and techniques for giving texture through materials used and judicious application of water are all described. This is a book that has the potential to provide countless hours of entertainment with the delightful side effect of adding beauty to one's surroundings." -- Night Owl Reviews, www.nightowlreviews.com
