YOUR TUTOR

Hazel Soan is a highly

successful international

artist, the author of many

books and a contributor to

The Artist magazine. She has

studios in London and Cape

Town. Mixing successful

combinations of red, yellow

and blue is one of the major

skills in watercolour. With

sunsets as the subject, you will explore the transparent

and opaque properties of a variety of reds, yellows and

blues, and, even more importantly, their eff ect on mixing

the black for the silhouette of the landscape. To encourage

seamless blends between the bands of colours in the

colourful skies, you will utilise the fi nesse of Saunders

Waterford 100% Cotton paper. The rough surface allows

a little more water on the paper and therefore a little more time for

the colours to merge. This fi ne-crafted paper enables the pigments

to fl ow and mingle across the surface, creating the elusive blends

for which watercolour is revered. Hazel will start the workshop

by demonstrating several diff erent three-colour combinations

in a variety of sunset scenarios, after which you will paint your

own versions from your own reference material, with group and

individual guidance from Hazel. The morning session will run from

10am to 1pm and the afternoon session from 2pm to 5pm.
