New Card Designs Spring 2011

New Card Designs Spring 2011

Beauty Of Spring

I have just placed my order for 2011 Spring card designs. These will be available from mid April including spring flowers and mad hares shown in galleries where the originals are exhibited. Previous designs have all but sold out as each is a limited edition. Framed they make wonderful gifts and are lasting memories of workshops attended where I display latest collections.

Beauty Of Spring is definitely one of my favourite ever paintings of primroses which is why it is on my blog so often!

"Beauty of Spring" will be availbable as a card from The Frame Gallery,Odiham later this month.

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

Saw you in The Frame on Friday and promised to say Hi! I thought your work was wonderful! I paint chickens too but have never experimented with watercolours so will be giving it a go soon! Have been reading your lovely book and looking for purple shadows!
best wishes

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.

"This book is a wonderful introduction into Jeans' way of working and gives an insight into her way of thinking and approach to a large variety of subjects. All painted minus the use of a preliminary sketch."
