Book Description
Every painter wants to paint vibrant pictures but sometimes it can be difficult to capture that special quality on paper. In Learn to Paint Vibrant Watercolours Hazel Soan provides plenty of helpful advice on how to use watercolour in a bold and lively way, emphasizing the importance of using colour confidently, creating a strong composition, and evoking a powerful sense of atmosphere in your paintings. Contents include: • tips on choosing painting materials • clear, practical advice on watercolour techniques • guidelines on using colour effectively and creating atmosphere • a range of popular subjects, including landscapes, still life, flowers and people • stage-by-stage demonstration paintings
About the Author
Hazel Soan studied Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art and Crafts and Leicester College of Art, and is now a very successful artist with a growing international reputation. She travels widely in the course of her painting and divides her studio time between London and Cape Town.
Her work has been shown in over 20 solo and numerous mixed exhibitions, and her paintings can be found in collections all over the world. She has her own gallery in West London, which enables collectors to buy her paintings direct from the studio.
Hazel is the author of ‘The Encyclopedia of Watercolour Landscape Techniques ‘ and regularly contributes articles to ‘Artists and Illustrators’ magazine. She has made several successful videos on painting in watercolour, including ‘Watercolour Flower Painting Workshop’, as well as a 7-part TV series entitled ‘A Splash of Colour’, and has often been featured on television and radio both in the UK and abroad.

Excellent technique book,
By
This review is from: Vibrant Watercolours (Paperback)
I live in the Middle East and good instructional art books are hard to come by. A fellow student bought this book while visiting in the states and brought it to class. Well, of course; all the students loved it. We found it so easy to follow and have attempted several of her projects. Which have turned out wonderful. We say here in Jordan, "Shur-kran", meaning thank you, Hazel Soan! You have helped a whole class of, eager for knowledge, students! I recommend it to everyone who wants to start in the watercolor medium. Now I am purchasing my own copy.

Major disappointment,
By M. Du Toit "Moggie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Learn to Paint Vibrant Watercolours (Paperback)
I must admit I bought this book because of the cover....it has a waterfall on the front and it says 'Learn to paint' so I immediately assumed that it would have a demonstration inside on how to paint that waterfall...short story ..it does not.If I bought this book as a 'Learn to paint' and expected it to show me how to paint or improve my painting I would be major disappointed... |
