Hazel Soan's concise book, filled with easy-to-follow instructions and step by steps, is written in a very accessible way for those completely new to painting. Chapters include: Getting Started (the materials you will need and those you can ignore in the art shop); Choice of Colours; Mixing Colours; What's the Subject? (how to select a suitable subject); What Surfaces to Paint on; Basic Painting techniques (remembering that in watercolour white paper is the light and you paint the shade); Brushstrokes (with lots of examples) and Composition (with details on how to design paintings with horizon, focus and balance, a hint of perspective and the light and shade of a subject). Packed with illustrations for guidance, this is the most comprehensive guide to learning watercolour very quickly.","brand":"Hazel Soan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46896578494613,"sku":"9781849941402","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781849941402_9bc20edd-cec1-492c-8f10-5dce2c388609.jpg?v=1776888290","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781849941402_learn-watercolour-in-an-afternoon","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
