 Rating: - A feast on the eyes aloneThis book is absolutely fabulous, period. If you want to expand your drawing skills, learn to work magic with watercolor, or are simply a fan of Stephanie Law's work; you need this book. I actually bought 2 copies, one to drool over and one to keep in case it falls apart (got one off the artists website, she'll sign it for you!) This book basically has 4 sections. The first is an intro to drawing, watercolors, and inspiration sources. The second is the faerie section. Here we learn ... Read More Rating: - Amazing Book!!!Totally worth what I paid. I bought this mostly to get idea and extra tidbits here and there. I'm not a begginer, but not an expert in watercolors either. I found this book VERY good for anyone looking for techniques and step by step examples of how the artists paints (I can't remember her name).

Read More Rating: - Great for ArtistsThis is a good book for those interested in learning to draw and paint magical worlds. There are step by step directions for all. I got this book because I do a lot of watercolor, and wanted to broaden the type of art I do. Rating: - A magnificent book!I received my copy of Dreamscapes and I am thrilled with it. What I like about her book apart from the beautiful artwork, is that she is very detailed about how to start the process of a watercolour painting. Little things are not overlooked and she assumes you haven't painted before. There is even guidance on how to draw. If you have a little drawing experience, it will be easier to follow however the way she lays it out makes you feel like you can tackle her projects. And there are a lot of ...

I've always been a fan of her work, and just started doing watercolor so this book is perfect for me. It's given me a lot ideas of things I want to try out in the medium.
