Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire Two Day Watercolour Retreat

Four Seasons Hotel

Hampshire, UK

"Painting Escapes"

April 2011

April 26, 27 and 28th

Welcome evening to meet the artist and fellow guests on 26th April at the Hotel.

Until now I have only taken one day workshops on a number of subjects to allow more artists places to come to my ever growing in popularity sessions. Over the last twelve months I have been inundated with requests to hold two day seminars so that artists can enjoy building up a painting, study technique and relax without the concern of a joruney for a one day event.

I am also discovering many artists are coming to me for the experience in loosening up their style or searching for new ideas with colour combinations and that extra sense of excitement in their results.

Among those coming to me are those who are simply curious about watercolour as a medium.

Whatever the reason I know from feedback that everyone leaves my sessions on a high and are eager to paint when they get home.

Relaxing through colour and enjoying what watercolour as a medium can do is such an amazing experience. In many ways it can be life changing.

This April I will be taking a unique two day retreat " Painting Escapes" at Four Seasons Hotel in Dogmersfield,Hampshire.

This will be a wonderful opporunity to escape into a world of colour surrounded by the most wonderful countryside of Jane Austens time. Nearby there are wonderful places to visit such as Chawton where Jane Austen lived. The local churches and villages are a delight to visit and the colours at this time of year will make the experience even more memorable. There are also many activities for non painting partners such as golf, horse riding, clay shooting and fishing.

As always places are strictly limited and these are my only sessions available in 2011 at the moment which makes it even more vital to book early.

If you are interested please contact the hotel directly for a place and I look forward to greeting you on the welcome evening.

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.
