With this charming book you could take up a serious life with fairies as you learn how to paint these charmers using the step-by-step directions in the book. This type of art poses it's own challenges because, after all, these are imaginary creatures that we haven't really seen. Through all of the tiny details that are given here, you will learn to reproduce some of these absolutely stunning creatures in many forms. All sorts of tricks and tips are presented, and the author teaches you the skills you need to texture the wings and fabrics and use various washes to obtain the look you want.
