Watercolours With Life Exhibition 2011

THE WEY GALLERY

"Watercolours With Life"

The Exhibition

Wey Gallery

Godalming,Surrey, U.K

This week I visited the Wey Gallery in Godalming to discuss my "WatercoloursWith Life" Exhibition that will open on 17th April. It really is amazing how much happens behind the opening of an exhibition, details that are vital and decisions that take time away from the brushes and painting that I love so much.

I was invited to show at the Wey Gallery last year after successful sales of my work which included subjects such as my sheep and also horse racing watercolours. The Wey Gallery as a venue can showcase my larger paintings which I so love working on as they give me the freedom to completely express myself through colour.

Whilst I adore painting in watercolour on a daily basis the pieces that leave my studio and make it to frames in galleries are always the ones I would keep in my home.The favourites that I find very hard to part with. And this exhibition will be containing not just new work but paintings from my private collection that I had decided to keep as part of my journey in watercolour.

All will be for sale and I must admit I am looking forward to seeing the collection all together and hung in this beautiful location.

If you are free on Sunday, 17th April I would love to meet you at the gallery. It promises to be a very special day.

Work will be online to view and purchase once the preview has taken place. If you would like further details please contact the gallery directly on

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.
