Thank you for following my Blog.

Cockerel Eye developing in a Watercolour

It's been an incredible week in the first month of 2011. I am barely back from a wonderful trip to Asia and I am already working on my second book holding its' skeleton in my hands with meetings arranged with my photographers and publishers in March. February will be really exciting due to a new project. Workshops are organised also.

Last night I picked up a collection of framed new paintings and celebrated the New Year with champagne in a gallery who had just sold several favourite paintings of mine.

Today I have so much to do so typing on my blog will have to wait until tomorrow. But I couldn't let the morning pass without saying a huge thank you for all the wonderful messages and comments I am receiving about my blog. I meet people in person who let me know how much they enjoy my posts. I open amazing emails from all over the world and then I read replies here. We have no idea when we share if anyone will ever read what we write.To know my blog posts are enjoyed means so much to me.

So thank you very much for encouraging me to continue to share. Thank you to everyone following my blog and thank you to those who are leaving replies. In return I am wishng you will have the very best year ahead full of incredible memories.

Thank you so much.

Small words I know but they do carry so much genuine warmth.

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.
