Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire Two Day Watercolour Retreat

Four Seasons Hotel

"Painted Escapes"

This evening I will be at the wonderful Four Seasons Hotel to greet guests who are attending the first of my Two Day Watercolour retreats. The weather is wonderful and the Hampshire countryside respendant with the colours of Spring.

The exclusive sessions will be looking at the magic of watercolour as a medium, a wide variety of subjects and techniques showing how to capture them in completely unique ways .The seminars are aimed at being based on a personal level to give as much one to one guidance as possible. I really am looking forward to the next two days in such beautiful surroundings.

I know the effect will be that I too will be racing for my brushes with even more new fresh ideas for my next book.

Four Seasons Hotel is now taking bookings fo rthe Autumn Painted Escapes but places are strictly limited to ensure the personal seminars can be fully enjoyed by all who attend.The goal is for everyone to leave the watercolour retreats feeling inspired,refreshed and motivated to paint.

Please book early through the hotel to avoid disappointment

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

I am receiving so many requests for updates on my future workshops especially for this Autumn. For now I only have seminars planned at Four Seasons Hotel and places there are limited. So please book in advance if you would like to join me there. Expect full days of painting and be aware that each session can lead to a serious addiction to working in watercolour as my enthusiasm for the medium is rather contagious!

Please watch my blog for new updates and contact me on jeanhaines@hotmail.com if you wish to have your name added to the workshop list for future sessions and 2012 news.

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.
