Painting With Beardies!

Thank you so much Jane for this lovely memory of a painting day last year after my 2009 Spring Workshops had taken place. We were all exhausted but still not ready to pack up and go home! This was taken on a casual day following the weeks classes with friends from all over the world. Simply painting together to unwind after the busy and full week. Bailey watched happily whilst Taffy as always tried to be a little more involved!

Taffy is recovring from his recent health scare and details have been added to my Bearded Collie Blog. Thank you for so many wonderfully warm wishes for his return to health. He is a gorgeous dog, pet and companion and our lives would be so very strange without him.

I have lots to do and share this week art wise so I will start my Monday with administration for this years workshops and then settle to painting in my studio.

If you feel like a trip to Norway I will be sharing news about how to sign up soon.

I have only a few places left in Autumn. The October date is going to be a superb occasion for exploration into creating unusual unique results. I will also add dates of upcoming exhibitions soon also.

Have a great week!

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.
