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 them! The author also covers materials in depth. If you love fantasy you are going to be really inspired by this beautiful book as I was.
Best Fantasy Art Workbook I have ordered almost every drawing, painting, and watercolor book out there on fantasy art. Stephanie’s book is by far the most comprehensive book there is. It is like three books in one. Compared to other art books she gives you 3 times as many projects to do. All of the projects are clearly explained and are suitable for beginners to more advanced artists. Something for everyone to learn. You will spend many joyful hours practicing the techniques and projects in this book. Even if Stephanie’s style is not your style, you will learn a great deal about painting fantasy in watercolor. Definitely one of the best…worth three times what I paid for it!
