I adore her perspective, the way she teaches, and inspires. I love how she co-creates with the brushes, pigments, paper and environment consciously! She is magical.

Less is more- a life lesson in 3 words. Love this lady.

Love Hazel way of painting, her passion for watercolor is contagious ❤

Hazel Soan is always so interesting and inspirational to listen to. All the paintings are so beautiful. That last pic though, just wow!!

Great teacher, appreciate her perspective and teaching approach es!!🤗

non capisco una parola in inglese ma la mano di questa signora nel dipingere è straordinaria, complimenti

Hazel's brilliance is clearly her patience...She patiently answers questions, and her completion of ideas is precise, much more so than other artists who appear online, instructing painting techniques. Her vast experience and confidence makes her a master at execution as well as elocution which makes her a true jewel! I have purchased her books they are equally outstanding. She's truly inspiring and joyful to watch.

Hazel is Most Definitely a Master Artist; and I Appreciate Her Talents Immensely!❤👏🏼👩‍🎨When You showed Her Book, I was like, "that book looks familiar" So I checked My bookshelves; and sure enough, I had purchased it Years ago!🥰 I have now Studied it, have learned much; of which I will now apply, to My 🖼paintings! I LOVE Drawing People!❤ Thanks A Million & Perpetual Success to the both, of You Ladies!❤❤

Just WOW! Much gratitude.

I like the way Hazel moves on from some of the pointless questions and just keeps smiling. Tip: you can turn off the notifications sound on your computer when your doing a live broadcast.

You have such energy and enthusiasm! You are a great teacher!

Love Hazel and love the tips about NOT spraying your palette and paint yellow, pink, and blue! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this - inspiring, creative people adding meaning to our lives - talking about the brushes dancing and sparkling across the paper! What truly lovely people you both are! Greetings from Italy

Wonderful artist. Very insightful. An inspiration 💐

Ms Sloan is absolutely amazing! I have most of her books and they constantly inspire me. Thank you for a great opportunity to hear her speak and discuss her tips and processes!

Blown away by this interview, you r truly gifted Hazel

I've been sitting here sketching people during this talk 😂 It's so inspiring and uplifting, that even though I never expect a good result, I still had to try... Her paintings are so beautiful ❤

Loved this interview 💝Thank you!

that interview was great! 😮 So many great tips❤❤❤

Hazel Soan is my idol! I love the liveliness in her paintings. How does she do it!? So Amazing!

Hazel is a true master of watercolour. With no doubts my favourite artist. And her enthusiasm is so contagious - she always makes me pick the brush every time I see one of her videos or have a look at her books.

Thank you, very inspiring.

Tremendous! Thank you both very much.

Beyond words of gratitude, what a wonderful artist .

This is amazing. I have no words. Well one…Fascinating! Well two ….incredible.

These pictures are incredible. I literally want to paint every one of them.

Wonderful 👍 👌 Really I enjoyed watching 💕 thanks for sharing 💕

This was so great! Thank you for sharing

Great info . Thank you Hazel Soan for sharing your amazing work.

Just loved the animated answer to one of the questions in your interview! When you asked about spritzing her watercolors, she erupted with 'No! No! No!' A wonderful moment! Have just enrolled in one of her ZOOM classes, this, during the pandemic of 2021.

I looooooove Hazel Soan - she is one of my favourite artists, thank you for this chat

wonderful - thanks for sharing and am so inspired by Hazel's Art :-)

Wonderful!

Lovely! I love the way the background colors really help highlight the figures.

I love your work. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 you’re an inspiration.

Fantastic!

This is fascinating. Thank you love

Thank you so much for posting this interview!! Such an inspiring artist! Her books are fabulous.

So much knowledge. information, and inspirational advice!!! And I've always wondered about fully rewetting your palette!! I've had so many pans harden past a usable point and just thought i'd let it sit out for too long or something!! Thank you so much for all of this, seriously one of the best videos I've seen on watercolor and sketching!!

Wow, I’ve seen so many spray their pallets, I’ve learned something new. Great advice.

great video, love , love it, thank you

beautiful !!!

Wow love this method. Going to try it out. Done large portraits this way but only a few figures. Ones that were too tiny to draw aka less than 4”. Thanks

After seeing this beautiful video I want to run and get my watercolours and start painting!!! Thank you very much for such an informative and energetic video. Soan I love your style, your books are very helpful too.

Wow, oh WOW! im incredibly inspired. Hazel is incredible in passion, in delight and SKILL. thank you for this in-depth interview video. I just ordered one of her books:)

What a sweet and lovely personality is Hazel ❤️

I love how she paints her figure’s bodies first, then adds cloths! I do that when I use Procreate but had not thought of it on paper! Loved this interview! Bought the book!

She’s just brilliant. I’ve only just found her because I bought her 10 minute watercolour book.

Learned some important pointers in this video. I've put Hazel Soan's books on my wishlist too ;) I feel so inspired to limit my palette, and play more with my ryb/cmy paints... it's been something I've been looking to do for a while. With Hazel's insight, I know I'm going in the right direction and it will help me heaps. Thumbs up and Thank You x

Really terrific

Pozzouli red Earth is a Maimeri Blu color apparently. I don't see any other manufacturers using that name. From a quick Google search it looks like Maimeri is an Italian paint brand and Pozzouli is a place in Italy.

Amazing 🎉Hazel🎉I’ll b around 🎉

Hi, Brenda and Studio 56! Thank you so much for this series of interviews. I am always looking forward to the next guest! Thank you for all the artists that share their art and their time! Are you open to suggestions? Thanks again.

Hi Dulce Regina, yes absolutely I am open for suggestions. Can’t make any promises though :)

Thanks that was so good, I love her approach to watercolor!

This was a wonderful interview! I really like Hazel and her enthusiasm. One suggestion, the host needs a better microphone. I couldn't always tell what she was saying, it seemed a bit muffled when she read questions from the chat and made comments. But thanks so much for posting. Loved this interview!

This is a wonderful video thank you very much Hazel, but what paper are you using I can only assume it's 300gsm, but how do you measure the roughness of a paper? Can you tell me what is the specific paper that you use? Many thanks for this video and of your books, I love the Little Gem book which is a great all-round inspiration

It's impressionism. ...

I have just got her latest book which is the fourth book of hers I bought.

V nice

Can you use gouache instead of opaque watercolor ??

What is the palette she is using ? The larger one not the small one

I love everything about Hazel's work. What few lines she starts out with quietly disappear in a kaleidoscope of dancing light and tonal variations. She embraces movement and change as necessary fundamental elements for making her paintings come alive. I find myself looking for Alfred Hitchcock, ie her and her companions, in many of her scenes.

I cant find the red-pottsueli earth. What color would match and is this a gouache?

Where can I find more information? Please write the information about the website and about the book, the DVD and the information about the online-classes from Hazel in the Discripcent-box. Thank you!

She didn't take up Claire's question at time stamp 25:25 . I was really looking forward to hearing on that. I really struggle with that. Does any experienced watercolourist have any tips? I have a feeling it has to do with keeping the consistency of the paint above and below same. Would love to hear someone with this skill to talk about it. I wanted to add to "without getting muddy"... without making 1 colour overpower or even ride into the area where the other is painted.

If I understand it correctly, choosing the right colors will help a lot. When I first started a lot of my stuff got pretty muddy, not that I'm very experienced. Some colors (like red and green) will cancel eachother out, sometimes getting a bit murky/dull when mixed. Which isn't bad if that's the intention, but.... I'm still trying to get better with color theory. I've been watching videos on it and I do a lot of color mixing exercises in my mixed media sketchbook. It's helped a lot with chosing what colors to put down/how to mix certain colors Also if you mean you're trying to avoid the colors mixing when painting the shirt then painting the pants for example, I think she probably uses less water towards borders/where color transitions to another, so they don't run/mix as much. She probably doesn't use a whole lot of water to begin with so it dries quickly (could be wrong, I'm actually at the part in the video you're referring to lol) I dunno if this helps but good luck! ❤ :^)

Silly all you did was show stuff you’ve already painted rather than demonstrating how. Bad.
