Fairies are a popular and timeless subject for artists, and this book provides the ideal starting point for anyone wishing to produce beautiful watercolour paintings of these exquisite creatures. There are five beautiful projects, each accompanied by a full-size tracing of the initial drawing. This means that if you have limited drawing skills, or simply wish to get straight on to the painting, you can simply transfer the drawing to your watercolour paper using the easy instructions provided, and start painting straightaway. There are over 45 step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions for each project, including a complete list of the brushes and paint colours used, making this an ideal introduction to painting watercolour fairies. As well as the five projects, there are four further finished paintings to inspire the reader, one of which also has a full-sized tracing, making six tracings altogether. Paul Bryn Davies’ style brings out both the mystical as well as the ‘fun’ aspect of these popular subjects, ensuring their broad appeal.
