Sunday sketches and books

I was using this great book by Linda Revenscroft lately. I love her art and she has great instructions on how to paint faries and their clothes. Even though my ladies aren't all fairies, it has helped me. You can see that this sketch in my idea sketchbook is influenced by her...

  7. I'm painting and drawing fairies this week too - as part of the Willowing course I am taking. We are using Brian Froud as inspiration. I've always loved drawing fairies and looking at pretty pictures of them like yours.
