Watercolour Workshops 2011 : Update

Primroses Emerging from a Wash.

Watercolour Workshops 2011

I am never sure whether to be taken aback by the number of enthusiastic bookings for my watercolour workshops or thrilled. I think it's happily a mixture of both as the response to next years sessions has been overwhelming. So much so that the February themes are already fully booked with only a few places remaining for certain sessions in Spring and Summer. The aim is to inspire and motivate on a high level throughout each day.

Spring Flowers, Cats, Animals, Summer Flowers and of course the favourite of all "Watercolours With Life" currently still have limited places available. Then I will take a break from teaching until the Autumn 2011. I am working on my second book which is filled with exciting new ideas so will thoroughly enjoy meeting everyone in 2011 to eagerly share new colour combinations, techniques and subject matter.

New two day seminars will be announced shortly in a wonderful location.

If you are interested in any of the subjects or themes mentioned please contact me directly on

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.
