Amazingly it is only one week to the Private Preview of my next exhibition. It seems like only yesterdy it was the beginning of Autumn and this was a mere discussion. But here we are with a new collection and today I am at the gallery for the final details.

It is amazing that when we visit exhibitions we often forget the behind the scenes preparations. The collection being put together, framing, titles and pricing. For me it is also preparation for workshops at this show and then dates for each including the Private Preview. And while this is all going on I am always working ahead to the next exhibitions.

I have recieved so many wonderful requests on what subjects everyone would love to see. I have been asked if there are cockerels, elephants, dogs,cats and flowers. And a special subject that seems to disappear as soon as it hits the wall!

Have my favourites in this event along with new ones and as always a few surprises. I hope everyone who visits loves my new work and enjoys the variety.

And if you are reading this and coming to the Private Preview please say Hello as I would love to meet you. Invitations are available through the gallery.

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.

How To Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour

"This book is a wonderful introduction into Jeans' way of working and gives an insight into her way of thinking and approach to a large variety of subjects. All painted minus the use of a preliminary sketch."
