Artist and Illustrators Magazine. December 2010

The Christmas issue of the Artist and Illustrators magazine is filled with information and incredible features so if you haven't a copy please find one before it is too late! For those living in UK near Godalming you can see work by Sir Peter Blake RA at The Wey Gallery in Godalming where I am also showing a collection of watercolours which can be viewed via this link. For anyone interested in my horse racing scenes an exciting new painting will be delivered shortly and it is the latest that I have been currently working on.

Look out for the January issue which will be available soon as I have a new masterclass feature in it sharing techniques again. This follows my previous masterclass feature in an issue earlier this year. Here you will see me experimenting with Daniel Smith Watercolours. It is the first time I have written about them in a magazine sharing favourite shades from their range which I have experimented with.

What a wonderful way to start the New Year!

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.

"This book is a wonderful introduction into Jeans' way of working and gives an insight into her way of thinking and approach to a large variety of subjects. All painted minus the use of a preliminary sketch."
