Review:
There is an air of Art Nouveau to these beautiful ethereal angels from the Fantasy Art Series. In full step by step details learn how to achieve a full palette of colours from watercolours and gouache, how to lay washes and all the basic techniques associated with watercolour painting. Good attention to detail is given with sections on faces and hair, hands and feet, robes and wings (of course) to enable you to recreate the designs in the book. An ideal book for artists of all skill levels. --Cake Craft & Decoration, Feb 08
