Customer Reviews

What a lovely book
I bought this book some time ago and have to say it is great. Jenny's style is very similar to her husband's - David Bellamy the watercolour artist - I think his work is terrific aswell. The way she uses colour and light in her pictures works very well. I would definately recommend this book to anyone wanting to use pastels in a more subtle way and also if you like David Bellamy's watercolours then I think you will like this book.
