Very inspirational! 11 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
127 pages packed with oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings. A5 size is handy to carry to art classes. It covers a whole range of genres, with some particularly beautiful land and seascapes. Lots of technical information and tips given on how to develop your skills on composition, using tone, mixing colours, what equipment you need, projects to practise skills etc. I have a fair amount of experience but this little book has enough in it to keep me going for months from finished paintings to quick skills practice.

A really handy book by Hazel Soan, a British master of the watercolour medium. For those times when staring at a black sheet of paper or canvas are just too much, this little gem of a book will kickstart your creativity. Though she is known for her loose watercolours, this book also contains some of her oils too.

Having been intrigued by the title, I expected just another run of the mill art book. Wrong! This is an excellent book, handily sized to take in the field or holiday, and has plenty of easy to see detail. Easy enough to read in parts yet allowing you to pick up later without thinking you have missed something. Hazel Soan is a favourite watercolour artist, and her enthusiasm and skill clearly come through, giving you many hours of thoughts, tips, and subjects whether you hit a mental block or not, and as the title says - Inspiration! Recommended.
