There's nothing like the image of personality-filled animals or people to enliven a painting -- and if drawing them seems daunting, here's the book for you. With these gently graduated techniques that start by turning simple stick figures into fleshed-out humans and build logically to close-up portraits, even inexperienced artists will confidently add figures to a background, portray people interacting, suggest movement and gesture, and capture the expressiveness of a face.

Simplification is the key to this author's approach to the difficult task of introducing figures and animals into a painting. Start with a "stick person" or a basic geometric shape for an animal form, then build up detail gradually and feel confidence growing; soon even a subject as difficult as portraiture will be within reach. Illustrated with the author's charming sketches, and paintings in pastel, watercolor and oil paint.

This story is a children's fantasy that originally came from a dream. It begins with a bedroom scene where Lucy awakens surrounded by a strange, eerie light. She is whisked into the fantasy world in order to assist in a special task of making rainbows.  The rainbow maker is Soup, a strange little man who is dressed as an artist with oddly coloured hair, skin, and clothes. He persuades Lucy that he needs her especially, as his transport is the beautiful horse that once belonged to her. There are references here to Lucy's tragic loss and the acknowledgment to the young reader of their own fears of losing loved ones.  Throughout the journey, the friends experience a variety of problems but also wonderful times where magical things assist them.
