Mastering wet-into-wet technique with Hazel Soan

Join Hazel Soan for an inspiring 2-hour masterclass where you will dive into the exciting wet-into-wet technique and explore the beauty of lost and found edges. Guided by an expert instructor, you will bring to life the graceful head of a giraffe, focusing on its elegant form, expressive features, and signature markings.

During this masterclass, you will learn:

• How to create soft, blended transitions with wet-into-wet watercolour
• The art of lost and found edges for a dynamic, painterly effect
• Techniques to capture the unique beauty of a giraffe's face and mane

Before this session, please pre-sketch the outline of the giraffe's head and neck using a 2B pencil, including facial features but excluding the markings and mane.
