About the Event:
DSWF were delighted to host Wildlife Artist of the Year Judge and our long-time supporter, Hazel Soan, for a demonstration and exploration into the wonderful world of watercolour.
Think of it as an African watercolour safari. You can experience Hazel’s unique style and watch LIVE as she recreates beautiful African landscapes and wildlife before your very eyes.
About Hazel:
Hazel Soan is one of Britain’s most admired watercolourists, well-known internationally through her numerous books, DVD films and social media, and through her television roles on mainstream painting programmes such as “Watercolour Challenge” and “Splash of Colour”.
Hazel has been represented through many solo and mixed exhibitions and her work is held in public, corporate and private collections, including the National Portrait Gallery, Embassies, The BBC, and major London hospitals, international hotels and finance houses. She is known for her direct wet-into-wet watercolour approach, use of rich pigment and strong contrasts of light and shade, developed directly from painting in the African Bush.

You are fabulous Hazel I have been watching you for years now … firstly whilst living in the U.K. and now living in Australia… lovely to be in the company of someone so excited by watercolour as I. 💗
What a JOY to watch and listen to Hazel! Her passion and enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you so much for airing this video David Shepherd!❤️
This video is great! Hazel has such a beautiful smile too! Thanks for sharing. She's my favorite teacher, love her book that I have. I want to buy more.

Wonderful. Thank you. I have Hazels book, painting people quickly. I love it but animals are the best !
Amazing artist.I loved this.
Fantastic art work, so pleased I stumbled across this demo!
Beautiful talent
The wonderful Hazel, you make it look easy… it isn’t 😉 I have all your books and your lates ones you are using for this tutorial and they are magnificent. I have learnt so much about light, shade and colour and enjoying every moment. I bought the DVD’s to go with the books which have helped me even more. “Just Let The Brush Do The Work” Love it ✏️🎨🖍
Thanks very nice 😊
Great lesson. Tku
I am desparing myself trying to paint a decent shape of an animal that vagly resembles it and the person in the video asks a question about the water holder brand as if it was the secret to paint amazing paintings. It would be nice if they had asked how Hazel correct her mistakes when she said that if she feels that the shape is not right she wipes it off. How?
Dear Hazel,
The first color you use is it yellow ochre in painting the elements? As I can't find yellow ochre like yours , a bit orangy
She said she used shmeneke paints. I use winsor and Newton and mine is more yellow/ gold. So it’s probably the brand
I think it is called yellow raw ochre from schmincke
Sorry in painting the elephant
Hazel Soan is a great teacher...however, I'm not sure natural bristle watercolor brushes made from animal fur is appropriate for a demonstration for a wildlife foundation. When artists talk about their paint brushes they often forget that an animal has actually died to make that brush.
