Grace and Beauty in the Realm of Fairy

Stunning and beautiful, it shows all one dreams of fairies. The work of all is standout, but Ravenscroft and Dillman both have blue ribbons with their painstaking and incredibly detailed fairy portraits. So very pretty.... There are a few step-by-step paintings to show you how it's done, and to encourage you to make your own originals. They are with painters of different styles, so you can pick something natural to your own style. There are many many smaller vignettes to help you get a feel for this kind of subject. It's worth every penny and more, a WONderul book.

Colorful, detailed beyond imagination - fantastic!!

I love this book! It is far more detailed than I even imagined - eg: how-to-draw fairies, stories about fairies, history on Fairies, in-depth writing on Fairy realms - amazing! It should be titled, 'Everything you want to know about Faeries and MORE!" Fantastic purchase, I am definitely pleased!

Beautifully Illustrated how-to book.

Watercolor Fairies is a lavish, profusely illustrated how-to watercolor book. Authors David Riche and Anna Franklin provide detailed description of various inhabitants of the faery realms and how to create them. The book features an in-depth look at the technique of four well known fairy artists as well as art by twenty more contemporary fairy/fantasy artists. The book starts by outlining basic watercolor tools and techniques and goes on to show how to create the fairy world and various types of fairies. Various stages of four paintings are shown, along with descriptions of each artist's painting technique. Web sites for the all the artists included (Amy Brown, Stephanie Law, James Browne, Linda Ravenscroft, Jessica Galbreth, Paulina Stuckey, Myrea Pettit, Jacqueline Collen-Tarrolly, Brigid Ashwood, Kim Turner, Meredith Dillman et al), are listed in the back of the book. Whether you are a budding artist or merely enjoy imaginative art of the faery world, Watercolor Fairies is a joy to behold!
