It's not for nothing that watercolour is called the "magical media". The colours have a life of their own: they blossom, bloom, and bleed, some mixing, some showing through, some pigments merging, others separating, some sinking back into the hollows of the paper surface. And in the company of a true magician in this media, artist Sara Burrier, you can now harness these amazing techniques to create your own magical worlds-painting fairies and their wonderful habitats.

This is a valuable resource of tried and tested rules for beginners and intermediate painters, ready to take their fairy art more seriously: working on drawing skills, character design, and most important of all, watercolour painting techniques.
