This brilliant book and DVD set has been designed for busy people wanting to learn how to paint. Created by bestselling artist and writer Hazel Soan, it's bursting with simple, step by step guidance and easy-to-follow illustrations - the perfect inspiration for artists of all abilities - from those completely new to painting to the more experienced wanting to learn something new.

Discover what essential materials you need to get started, learn about the properties of watercolour paper, how to select suitable subjects, their composition and how to .pick and mix' colours on your palette.

With all this practical advice you will soon be using basic brushstroke techniques to create balanced paintings full of focus, balance, perspective, light and shade.

In the accompanying DVD, Hazel introduces additional techniques such as wet-on-dry and wet-in-wet, how to use masking fluid, lift out colour and lay washes, before concluding with a sunny café scene full of light & shade - which Hazel breaks down into all its component parts to reveal how a seemingly complex scene can be created using a minimum of materials and without over complication.

Packed with handy hints and colourful inspiration, Hazel 'keeps it simple' and her endless enthusiasm and energy will keep you wanting to see more.
