This book is not focused on realistic artistic representations but instead encourages artists to break the standard rules of color and let their imagination and artwork soar to new heights.
One of the best things about this book is the variety of animals it covers, from a whale, an elephant, a cat, a fish, to a bird, a rabbit, and a mouse. It is fascinating how the author is able to capture the unique features of each animal and how she uses color to make each one look different while keeping their overall form intact.
The author teaches various techniques and methods for using watercolor paint to suggest texture and fur on her animal subjects, such as how to create different types of brushstrokes, using different shapes of brushes, and how to create a washy and underpainting approach.
This book is also packed with helpful tips, exercises, and tutorials for using different colors, techniques, and combinations in various ways.

Jane Costello does a great job of presenting various techniques, exercises, tutorials, and tips that are easy to follow for intermediate and advanced artists, allowing them to create their own whimsical, vibrant and colorful watercolor paintings.
