David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition 2010

I am thrilled and honoured to be included in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition 2010. The paintings of the finalists are on view via this link and many of my favourite artists are amongst them. My painting is also on view in the collection.

Having looked at all of the amazing paintings I feel very small and indeed humble to be included.Whilst I adore painting in watercolour I am always 100% aware that there are many talented artists in the world and I am just one person who happens to love holding a brush to create. It would be impossible for me to choose a favourite so I am eagerly looking forward to the exhibition which takes place at the Mall Galleries in London from 24th-29th May 2010. To be involved if you can't visit personally you can register a vote for your favourite online.

The exhibition will also feature THREE GENERATIONS of the Shepherd family which includes
- a retrospective collection of DAVID SHEPHERD's original works,
sensitive canvases for sale by his daughter MANDY SHEPHERD
and exciting contemporary work for sale by his granddaughter EMILY LAMB.

Most importantly of all please remember

50% from all sales goes towards supporting DSWF's wildlife projects

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.
