Product Description

Product Description

Watercolour is an enormously popular painting medium and an increasing number of artists are choosing it in preference to other mediums, exploiting it in inventive and creative ways for every possible subject. This book covers the subject of watercolour in the broad sense of the term, suggesting ways of working with gouache and acrylic as well as explaining the time-honoured technique associated with transparent watercolour.

She studied painting at the Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy of Painting in London. Hazel lives in a small village in the Peak District, and divides her time between painting and writing art instruction books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, 18 May 2005
By G. Ridgley "GillR" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the book for anyone who wants value for money as well as helpful instruction in the art of watercolour. It's packed with advice, instruction, and beautiful pictures and includes a marvelous gallery of paintings by other artists with helpful explanations by Hazel about how they achieved their effects. The author writes well and knows what she's talking about. Beginners and experienced watercolourists will both find enormous inspiration. I go back to it time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a book for every budding watercolour artist., 23 Aug 2001
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Watercolour Techniques (Paperback)
This book lives up to the expectations coming from the description on the amazon website. It is full of easy to follow techniques which are especially helpful to the beginner and gives an insight into the techniques requiring more experience. The references to the Masters and the demonstration paintings are within the context and serve to offer advice to the prospective artist of the techniques and style best adapted to particular situations. The price is a definite plus and the size of the book is just right to carry comfortably on artistic expeditions! This book fulfilled and exceeded my expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Beginners in Watercolour painting, 4 Mar 2009
By Mrs. J. M. Smullen (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Encyclopaedia of Watercolour Techniques: A Step-by-step Visual Directory, with an Inspirational Gallery of Finished Works

Being totally new to Art, and not having painted since I was at school some 50+ years ago, although attending an Art Class, this Encyclopaedia is a good reference book of the techniques used in Watercolour painting and is useful at home, when not being supervised by my Art teacher. However, I do not see myself aspiring to the heights of most of the renowned artists, some of whose work is illustrated in this Encyclopaedia and I admire their skill - perhaps "admire" is the wrong word and I mean "envy".
