Watercolours With Life: It's All Happening.

It's All Happening.

Eye from my latest Art Feature

It's quite fascinating how one thing can lead to another. I have received several requests for painting portraits, especially eyes which hold the key to expression and life in a painting to me.

Having completed filming my new DVD last week with Town House Films I find myself this week completing my latest art feature for " The Artist Magazine" and it is full of exciting colour and motivational tips on how to create unique results in watercolour. I loved writing it and putting it together. You will be able to read the article in the June issue and I can't wait to see it in print. There will also be a fabulous chance to win an art competition so please look out for the article.

Having just agreed to a book signing in May 2012 via Waterstones book store and also forwarded further images for my solo exhibition later this year today has to be a record breaking session in my studio. Not to mention paintings being collected for framing for another show.

Tomorrow I hope to continue with a new collection but at this moment in time I am never sure exactly what my next studio day will bring. I do know it will be really interesting though!

I will be adding an update of my book signing and demonstration schedule to my web site soon.

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
