Tuition - The Essence of Watercolour with Hazel Soan

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!
