This book has it all

This is a great book. It covers everything from sketching to color techniques. Another bonus is that there are several framable prints inside as well. Worth every penny.

Great advanced drawing resource.

My students loved this book and begged for assignments to recreate the pages in advanced drawing and compositions class. Beautiful work! They are excited about drawing again.

A Wonderful Book for Anyone Who Loves to Draw Fairies!

David Riche and Anna Franklin have created a stunning and glowing instructional manuscript for individuals who love to explore the fairy world. This book is ideal for artist of any level who aspires to explore how to create a picturesque and alluring work of art involving all facets of the fairy world. One may never have considered drawing gnomes, until paging through this elaborate and in-depth manuscript.

This book would not only benefit a beginning artist but an artist perhaps who draws exceptionally well, yet wishes to explore working with watercolors, or vice versa. A beginning artist who buys this book could essentially create a wonderfully radiant picture from start to finish without even a prior knowledge of drawing or watercolor techniques.

My daughter who is 14, has been drawing fairies for years, after she received this book for her birthday she was very excited to see all the exceptional designs inside the book. I also draw, although I had never had an interest in drawing fairies before, yet after looking through the book for quite awhile, I am quite fascinated and enchanted with the fairy world and am ready to explore my own possibilities of fairy artwork.

The fairy world is so enchanting and radiant and to think I might be able to create my own little enchanting vision. I do not believe anyone who truly loves drawing or painting fairies will be disappointed if he or she buys this book.

An inspirational guide to drawing and painting the fairy realm, this enchanting book looks at the origins and development of fairy art, and draws upon a wide range of art, literature, mythology, and folklore surrounding fairies. Readers are shown how to invoke the fairy spirit and bring to life the nymphs, sprites, and sylphs of a fabled realm. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrations and photographs enable beginning artists to recreate flower fairies, celestial spirits, and mischievous dark fairies, as well as learn how to capture exquisite detail such as delicate wings and sheer gowns. Artists learn how to turn their brush into a wand and create an entire fairy kingdom in watercolor, the dreamiest medium with which to convey the spirit and nature of these fairy folk.
