Stephanie's art is incredible! I have her tarot deck and each card is a literal work of art. I'm not an artist but I couldn't resist her book. It goes through how she does each layer of her work, from the background to the shadows to landscapes and finer details, and more. It focuses largely on watercolor and I'll be damned if I wasn't feeling inspired to pick up a paintbrush myself after reading this. I highly recommend checking this out along with her Shadowscapes tarot deck!

This book is by an excellent artist. She explains step by step how she acheives the effects in her artwork. Some gorgeous paintings in it as well. Read it, you won't be sorry.

It's simply breathtaking! Pui-Mun is one of my favourite artists. There are lots to learn and admire from her works, so I'm glad she published her own artbook.

The section on jewelry really helped me make my gold in drawings and paintings look more realistic. wonderful book.

This book is so inspiring. I've long wanted to learn watercolor painting, but this pushes me over the edge from want to need. It explains a lot of concepts that I can carry over into three dimensional painting as well, from color to glazes to composition, and I will be referring to it again and again.

I love her artwork. I bought this so very long ago for her artwork and mostly for inspiration. I wasn't aware that I'd finally start using it for watercolor as I started down my watercolor path in 2020. I really just love the colors and her technique. I wish I could own all her books including her tarot cards. This would make my life.

This book on fairies and other magical creatures was very helpful on how to do backgrounds and detail-in the wings, hair, and tails. Very good reference book.

I loved this book, and I believe it really helped me become more confident with watercolor. It is now my favorite medium and I can now shade without using colored pencils.

I think I have every art instruction book published by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. I love her approach to technique, the movement in her work, her use of color. While her style is nothing like mine--or maybe I should say my style is nothing like hers--I've learned so much from her books. Plus, they're just beautiful to look at. Her art inspires me.

Easy to follow illustration steps. She is a very generous artist who shared her technique in full on patreon. I learned so much from her and in love with her magical and dreamy work.

A beautiful, instructional book. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law does more than show you how to paint with watercolor, she shows you how to use the medium to paint dreams and fairylands.

[Poppet the Book Eater · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another beautifully illustrated and informative guide to painting exquisite magical watercolor worlds and the creators that inhabit them.

[Raerae · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book for watercolorists, especially for those who love fantasy. It shows Pui-mun's techniques for her own amazing watercolor, and advice on faerie wings, angel wings, and distorting the human figure believably.

The art work is gorgeous and the tips and instruction are actually helpful. Pui-mun Law's work is lovely and she is one of my favorite artists, so this book is a wonderful insight into her art.
