Great purchase ..Great priceGreat ideas for inspiration for artist on these days of how to get artistically goingHighly reccomend this vendor for quick delivery and service and this book for purchase

I've seen this around for some time but put off buying it. It came in yesterday and is truly better than I could have expected!! More than enough to instill a little inspiration! 💜💜

This book has some great techniques for advanced beginners like me. I found inspiration in her themes like healing stones and Seeds of Life -- just what I was looking for but I didn't know it until I saw this in person. Well written instructions with color pictures make this a wonderful addition to your watercolor or mixed media library.

I’m always happy with Victoria. She always creates amazing watercolor illustrations that exceed my expectations to the max. This book is supper helpful if your beginning or if your advanced and want to learn something different front what your use too. Thanks again Victoria for creating books for us. Always a pleasure to purchase.

I am returning this book. It is a nice book but it is really for beginning or intermediate artists. Also the mixed media covered is more about crystals and metallics. The moon and planets are also covered.I think had the author changed the title to say metallics the reader would understand more about what the book is about.When I went to return it I didn’t notice it has a slight tear on the back cover. I can’t figure out how to tell the seller this so I am putting it here.

I adore this book. I’ve been watercoloring every day for over a year and this book has helped me step out of my comfort zone and try new mediums. I only wish the book was longer, or that it had in it more exercises on technique. ❤️

I enjoy this artist and her creative ideas. Steps are well explained and easy to follow. Fun!

It is a great reference for ideas in mixed media.

I was not sure when I buy it. But finally it’s such a great book! I am learning with it. Perfect for beginners.

I find this book nice , clear and interesting, especially for the beginners. There are some experimental exercises which broaden the horizons of the knowledge of what one can do and achieve with watercolour's. I bought it as an addon to a on-line course. From now on, I don't think it is essential if you already have purchased a course, but brings some fresh and interesting aspects to your creative process. The exercises may be inspiring to developing your own style in future. I would recommend it, as the author is a reliable and good teacher as well as an original person and artist.

Over all I like the book. My only issue is having to buy the colours she uses for her mixes. The projects just don't turn out as nice with substitutes. The mixes are really pretty though and the projects are fun.

Great unique ideas for more whimsical or witchy styles Nice pictures and well layed outMade well and a good page size

Es un libro muy bonito, aunque no es el mejor de este tipo que he comprado. A favor: su autora es una reconocido artista mexicana cuyo trabajo me encanta. Enseña a recrear diversas técnicas que ella usa en la creación de sus obras. Comparte sus materiales favoritos, los cuales son accesibles en México. En contra: los capítulos están constituidos por dos o tres técnicas muy sencillas, casi intuitivas, y una un poco más elaborada. Aunque es un libro muy visual sus exposición es muy pobre; lo que evidencia otro contra, se esperaría que las imágenes fueran impactantes: el espacio está mal aprovechado y las imágenes son pequeñas dejando mucho espacio en blanco en cada página.Libros como los de Jane Davenport, Tamara Laporte son más ricos en contenido, tanto explicaciones como imágenes. El libro de Anna Koliadych es mucho más didáctico. Sin embargo, Ana Victoria Calderón posee una magia que atrapa, sus obras son espectaculares y si eres amante de su arte es precioso contar con este libro.
