Watercolour Workshops 2010 Update

Watercolour Workshops Update.

I have a few places for workshops available on the following dates.

June 2010

I have two places available on the following two workshops due to unavoidable cancellations.

June 1st Watercolours With Life. The popular one day session working minus a preliminary sketch to capture the essence of a wide range of subjects.
June 2nd Animals Only. A great day looking at ways to bring animals to life in watercolour using a variety of interesting techniques.

***************************

September 2nd Autumn Gold A one day session looking at beautiful gold subjects which aren't always Autumn related! Surprises in store as we explore texture and new appraoches to working in watercolour. One place available.

****************************

October 26th Watercolours With Life With a Difference. This workshop will be looking at backgrounds, compositions and ways to add drama and excitement to what could otherwise be seen as a boring subject. You will be required to bring extra materials with you for this session and a list will be provided nearer the date. At present there are a few places still available.

**************************

These are my only workshops until Spring 2011 so please could you book early if you are interested to avoid disappointment. Please contact me ASAP on jeanhaines@hotmail.com

SPRING 2011

Watercolour Workshops With A Difference.,

Getting the best out of YOU!

I know there are many regulars who adore my Spring workshops and look forward to the dates being posted. To be fair to everyone who wishes to come I will post them on my blog and web site in September and there will be a few surprises as I am hoping to hold an art event at this time also which will be a three day event. There are some wonderful new sessions next year so watch this space for more details when dates are ready to be announced!

Professional Artists Retreat 2011

If you are a professional artist looking for inspiration I am considering hosting "Artists Retreat 2011" next year for a variety of mediums including demonstrations by top artists during a weeks period which will include painting on location in local beauty spots, an inside venue, free time to explore Jane Austen countryside along with evenings out in charming English pubs ending the week with a painting day on the water. A welcome and leaving party are on the agenda. The aim is to refresh our painting and teaching batteries, inspire each other and have a break from professional life whilst absorbing an injection of energy into art.

Places will be strictly limited for maximum enjoyment and everyone coming will have access to full privacy of being here.

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."
