This book is a wonderful resource book even if you don't create fairies. It gives wonderful how to's and simple explanations that even a beginner can handle and improve with practice. I am looking forward to trying the 75+ techniques mentioned in this book.

This was fantastic! I loved the fact that she explored every aspect of watercolour painting, not just in technique but in finding inspiration to do it as well. She was even gracious enough to show us other styles by having the last section of the book dedicated to other fairy artists. I found it to be very informative and have now a whole host of new techniques and materials I CAN'T WAIT to get ahold of and try!
