Review:

Impact Art books have become my favourite how to books over the last few months. I’ve picked up a few different books on watercolour, fairies and fantasy art by various authors and gained some great skills and knowledge from these step by step books.

Dragon’s Domain is packed full of step by step projects for painting a variety of fantastic fantasy scenes that you can adapt to any form of painting, watercolour, pastel, acrylic or oils. I worked through a few of the tasks using watercolour and was quite happy with the way that paintings came out.

Can’t wait to finish every project in this book to see how my skills develop over time.
