How wonderful this morning to recieve my SAA ,Society for All Artists email news letter and find I am included in the news!

I cannot recommend joining the SAA enough.They genuinely are a society for ALL artists of ALL levels in ALL mediums. They care about members, are always there to help in every way you can imagine and have guided me in my career in so many ways.Even being the contact who helped me meet my publisher. They make dreams come true and smile while they are doing so.

Apart from the Paint Magazine which I regularly write for they have a brilliant shop catalogue which means you can purchase all your favourite products at great prices having them delivered safely to your door without leaving your brushes which gives you far more time to paint!

Please come if you can next week to my book launch. I really would love to meet you and bear in mind this is my very first book launch so I will either be really excited,nervous or both! But however I feel I can guarantee I would love to meet you........so if you do come please say Hello to me!

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.
