The accompanying video 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!
