Synopsis

Stephanie Bayles, artist behind @guild_of_calamity, introduces a gothic-leaning approach to watercolour that favours fog, fangs and playful oddities over traditional florals. The book combines watercolour basics with 24 step-by-step tutorials, guiding you through tools, techniques, colour mixing and methods for achieving eerie effects.

A built-in practice pad with pre-printed templates removes the pressure of drawing, while bonus designs are provided to print and paint beyond the page. Projects span spooky-cute characters, haunted objects and moody motifs, with inspiration that nods to whimsigoth, dark academia and horror styles. Designed for beginners and hobbyists, it also suits experienced artists looking for something offbeat.
