Tribute To David Howells PRSMA

I have been asked who my favourite artists are which is why I am gradually sharing tributes so that I could show an insight into how I have been influenced over the years. I know I am not alone in being a fan of David Howells watercolours.

I first fell in love with Davids work when I lived in Dubai. He was in an exhibition at the Majilis Gallery and his colours were absolutely perfect. He caught the heady heat and atmosphere of the beautiful scenes from the Far East in a way I could only dream to do. His accuracy in detail is superb, What inspires me most is his comfident brushwork.

So if you haven't come across Davids work please enjoy this link.

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.
