In this beautifully illustrated book, well-known artist Hazel Soan provides invaluable insights into watercolour painting that will enable the more experienced painter to develop greater confidence, and a more professional attitude to their work.

Hazel Soan offers professional advice and tips, revealing the key secrets of watercolour painting that are often overlooked in the desire to capture likeness. By focusing on the practice and discipline of painting, artists will build up confidence in their skills, which in turn will lead to a more positive approach and to watercolour paintings that are both vibrant and exciting.

-
Explore Further exercises.
