Watercolour Workshop Update : 2011

February Workshops 2011

Grape Hyacinth, Muscari

Spring Workshops 2010

This week I will be running three one day workshops starting from tomorrow. They will be covering a number of themes but are intended to inspire so that all who attend leave with the urge and motivation to paint eagerly. These sessions have been fully booked for some time and I am so looking forward to them.

Watercolours With Life. The favourite session as it looks at all techniques for many subjects.

Beating the Blues Exciting approaches with texture and gorgeous compositions.

Dogs,Dogs and More Dogs. Painting your favourite pooches minus the use of a preliminary sketch.

**********************

My watercolour workshops have become so popular but places are strictly limited as I only take a few sessions each year. This keeps my own motivation and energy level high . It also ensures every single session is full of enthusiasm with exciting results. My aim is not to over do the number of workshops as I need time in between each group to maximise exploration into new ideas. This way of working also means everyone coming to me could see a painting process they may not have come across before. I also strive to bring the best out of everyone attending giving of my time during every demonstration so that all who attend leave having gained from the experience.

I have two day seminars available at Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire in April 2011.These are the only two day seminars I will be taking this year.One will take place in Spring and the other in Autumn. Bookings for the seminars will be directly through the hotel so please contact the following number if you wish for further information.

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.
