Watercolour Workshops 2011

"We Beardies Three"

Watercolour in progress capturing the essence of this delightful breed.

Since mentioning on my blog that the programme for Watercolour Workshops in 2011 is now ready with dates I have been inundated with requests asking for information.

There is a stunning new location and for the very first time two day seminars which will be announced very soon. These seminars will lead the artist from falling in love with a subject through to the finished painting but in a way to achieve unique and exciting results. If you are travelling from abroad these could be ideal for you. Set in beautiful countryside along with a "Meet The Artist" welcome evening, this new event could become an annual break for all who wish to escape,relax and lose themselves in colour and light.

I also have a few "theme" events that will be fully booked as soon as they are announced including " How to Paint Dogs in a Loose Style".

My programme secretary is now taking booking so please contact me as soon as possible if you would like a place. My aim for 2011 is to ensure everyone around me is as addicted to working in watercolour as I am and thrilled with their results.

This week I will be taking the last of my 2010 workshops in Hampshire , UK and can't wait for tomorrow to arrive.

To everyone attending these sessions , see you soon and I hope you are looking forward to them as much as I am!

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.
