A paperback reissue Hazel Soan's classic practical art book. Hazel Soan is a well-known and popular artist and an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher. In The Essence of Watercolour Hazel shows how wonderfully versatile and beguiling the medium of watercolour is and how to get the most out of it. Hazel stresses how important it is to understand the characteristics of the medium in order to exploit it to the full. She encourages the reader to explore the properties of watercolour and to be unafraid of strength of colour and brushstroke. Hazel shows through demonstration and projects that tone is king in watercolour and illustrates how to paint light with the use of shade. Armed with this understanding she demonstrates that watercolour is not such an unforgiving medium after all: accidents and mistakes can be disguised, overridden and corrected. The Essence of Watercolour is a culmination of many years of Hazel's teaching and demonstrating, in which she offers inspirational insights into the secrets of watercolour painting and encourages artists to take their art to the next level.

In Jane Austen's iconic novel, 'Pride and Prejudice' (Unabridged with the original watercolor illustrations by C.E. Brock), readers are transported to the refined world of Regency-era England where social conventions and class distinctions reign supreme. Through the skillful use of wit, irony, and social commentary, Austen paints a vivid portrait of the societal expectations and romantic entanglements of the time. The novel's engaging plot and complex characters provide a nuanced exploration of themes such as love, marriage, and personal growth, making it a timeless classic in English literature. Jane Austen, a keen observer of the society she lived in, drew inspiration from her own experiences and surroundings to craft 'Pride and Prejudice'. Her sharp critique of the rigid social structure and the limitations placed on women during the period adds depth and authenticity to the narrative, cementing her reputation as a master of the novel of manners. I highly recommend 'Pride and Prejudice' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the intricacies of human relationships and societal norms. Austen's insightful commentary and engaging storytelling make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of love and society.
