The Essence Of Watercolour
Book & DVD With Hazel Soan

Hazel Soan is one of the
foremost exponents of
loose watercolour working
today and it's the
quality of light that
suffuses her work, as
much as anything else
that has contributed to
her immense popularity.
She's every inch a
painter's painter. In
this, her latest book,
she looks at a wide and
varied range of
techniques from when to
choose transparent or
opaque colours, using a
limited palette,
layering, wet-in-wet and
using brushwork to shape
your subject and lay
washes. The thing is,
though, that at no point
does this feel like a
technical manual. There
are no step-by-step
demonstrations and, as
ever, Hazel teaches by
example: "explore this,
try that, here's what I
mean", so that the
result is a constant
stream of inspiring
paintings that can't help
but get you hurrying off
to pick up your brushes.
You'll think you're
looking at a book of
wonderful pictures, but
you're learning every
time you turn the
page. The accompanying
DVD gives an
inspirational insight
into the secrets of
successful watercolour
painting. Hazel focuses
on the use of transparent
and opaque watercolours
and demonstrates these
characteristics by
painting a charming
crocus, some vibrant red
apples and a wild
elephant. She also
explains how to gain real
control in wet-in-wet
blending and draws your
attention to the role of
gravity. Painting a group
of backlit figures,
Hazel also looks at
counter-change,
emphasising the value of
tone and the suggestion
of the third dimension
through light and shade.
The DVD's bonus feature
also demonstrates how to
add those all important
finishing touches! This
book and DVD set is a
real must have for those
wanting to get to grips
with the essence of
watercolour! Book & DVD:
Batsford. Hardback. 128

10-minute Watercolours Book &
DVD Set With Hazel Soan

A 10-minute painting can
be a daunting task for
even the most
accomplished artist. The
key is to work quickly
from life, don't fiddle
and most importantly,
know when to stop. This
NEW DVD was created to
accompany the 2005
pocket-sized book from
the Collins Gem series,
and illustrates Hazel
working through a series
of exercises. The two
complement each other
perfectly. In the book,
Hazel takes you through
essential tips on
painting people,
landscapes, buildings,
animals, flowers and
still life, and in the
DVD, these tips are
expanded on and further
enable you to perfect
your quick watercolours
with some great results.
The brand new footage on
the DVD sees Hazel
explore a charming cup
and saucer still life, a
striking portrait, a
rural landscape and some
Nottinghamshire
architecture amongst many
other 10 minute
paintings. Book:
Collins. Pocket-sized
paperback. 192 pages.
