Favourite To Win

New Watercolour Collection Update

"Favourite To Win"

New piece developing for an upcoming exhibition

Last year I was invited to hold a watercolour exhibition at the Wey Gallery in Godalming. At the moment apart from working on my second book I am also putting together a collection of watercolours that hopefully will create a beautiful illusion of colour and life at the show.

I will be sharing full details of the events where my new horse racing scenes will displayed this Spring later. The watercolour above is one of the subjects inspiring my new DVD "Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films which will be available from 31st March 2011.

Time never stands still and neither do my burshes it seems. I have had such an inspirational week holding three one day workshops, following the filming of my new DVD the week before in Norwich with the team of Town House Films.

I am eager to paint so this blog post is very short but I hope to see my friends and fellow artists at upcoming events in Hampshire, Surrey and London.

Now it is definitely time for me to paint!

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.
