The Frame: Exhibition of Book Paintings.

Rural Study for use of unique exciting washes in a more traditional landscape.

BOOK SIGNING AND NEW EXHIBITION

THE FRAME GALLERY

Odiham, Hampshire

Thursday 2nd September 2010

Private Preview 5.30p.m. - 7.30.p.m

This morning I parted with several paintings from my first book " How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour" as they will be part of a new exhibition that opens next week at "The Frame" gallery in Odiham, Hampshire. In the collection of paintings on show will be new work including some favourite subjects as well as a painting similar to the one on the promotion for the gallery opening. My row of Bearded Collies which is a firm favourite with dog lovers and owners.

The rose on the dedication page of my book is in the exhibition along with other favourites.

The Private Preview is on Thursday 2nd September and starts at 5.30 p.m.

I will also be signing copies of my book which will be on sale during the evening.

It is going to be very hard letting these paintings go as they all have come to mean so much to me in my first leap into writing but now is the time to part with a few gradually! The rose holds so much love in it that it feels right to allow that one to be the first to part with!

See you there if you can make it,everyone is welcome.

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.
