Odiham Exhibition and Book Signing : Tomorrow!

Tonight I will be delivering books to THE FRAME gallery in Odiham, Hampshire in preparation for my book signing and " Meet the Artist" event there which takes place tomorrow evening. The preview starts at 5.30 p.m and everyone is welcome.

There are a few paintings from my book available on sale for the first time along with some new favourites.

This to me is a\ celebration in many ways and not just about my turning into an author for the first time. I have had an amazing year but "The Frame" is a new gallery and has sold many of my paintings in the short time it has been open. As a gallery owner Jan boasts a wide range of styles from many artists so a visit when in the area is highly recommended. As one of the exhibiting artists I can freely admit it is a pleasure knowing her which is why I know tomorrow evening is going to be wonderful.

See you there if you can make it!

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.
