Mark L. said I like this ebook for the many inspiring examples of watercolors. I'm a beginning watercolorist. I like this ebook for the many inspiring examples of watercolors done quickly. While the author explains how they were painted it is not a step by step guide as such. I read through in a few days and now will use it for reference.The only issues I have is with the conversion from print book to kindle version. There were a few misspelled words and a few missing pictures.Also the layout didn't always follow exactly. The text might refer to the painting on the right for instance when it is on another page.Mostly not a big deal but I would've liked to have gotten all the paintings.. excellent quick guide Hesitated at downloading this on kindle as I have a number of books on watercolour. Reading descriptions of Hazels books I decided to try this one. Her Essence of Watercolour is excellent but I wanted more description on her techniques. 10 min watercolours provides exactly that. Whilst this book does cover much of her other books, it does so in a tight package of instructions, hints and tips. Clear simple and descriptive, she makes painting watercolours come to life in a format that is succinct and very easy to follow. The type of book I want in paper back to carry with me to refer to again and again.. Nancy S. Cunningham said A teeny tiny book. If you have any other books by Hazel Soan you won't find anything new in this miniature book. It is really small, a fact I didn't notice in the description nor in the reviews. Content is good, but I would have paid more for a standard size book.
