"A magnificent book!" according to Star Child. 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 them! The author also covers materials in depth. If you love fantasy you are going to be really inspired by this beaut. Jackie Wood said Painting fairies detailed. If you are very interested in learning to paint in watercolors at all, this book is for you. Even though it is about fairies and angels, it is very descriptive in its lessons. The detailed step by step illustrated instructions are very good.. that-artsy-ch1ck said Love this. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law is my absolute favorite artist, and I draw a lot of inspiration from her works. Before I even knew who she was, I was drawing and painting similarly themed subjects, and when I stumbled across another of her books (Dreamscapes: Myths and Magic) at my local art supply store, I noticed that my drawing style was already very similar to hers. So I've picked up all the books in her Dreamscapes series to learn as much as I can, and I've noticed a definite improvement.It arrived quickly, and the book has absolutely wonderful tutorials in it. Very helpful, and the illustrations are so stunningly
