The Artist Magazine Feature: August Feature 2011

Amazing Ways With Watercolour

Cat Coming to Life from an interesting wash of exciting colour and techniques

From my feature in The Artist Magazine this month.

I read the August issue of The Artist Mgazine yesterday and was thrilled to see how my article looked amongst the pages of incredible features. Its going to take me some time to absorb all the fantastic information in the issue as there is so much for artists of all levels to enjoy.

My own feature looks at ways to work in watercolour that are new and thrilling.Especially if you love the medium as much as I do. I am not content to paint in methods that artists have used long before me. My thirst and constant search for something new is a journey that I absolutely feel passionate about and love sharing.

I hope readers enjoy it!

And the answer to a question being asked by friends and readers oif my features

YES!

This IS a sign of what is to come in my new book!

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.
