Based on the best projects from four previous volumes in the Watercolour Fantasy Series—Painting Angels in Watercolour, Painting Dragons in Watercolour, Painting Fairies in Watercolour, and Painting Unicorns in Watercolour—this compendium of four essential fantasy themes makes getting started easy. Capturing the soft wings, petals, and costumes as well as the fluid, dreamlike aura of the images, the projects highlight why watercolor has long been the medium of choice for fantasy artists. Extensive advice and context is offered by a panel of experts for successfully finishing the assortment of eight hand-picked designs, each of which includes pull-out tracing papers for simple pencil transfer and step-by-step instructions that build confidence and ensure satisfying results.
