SOLD OUT!

"How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour "

by Jean Haines

During my watercolour demonstrations at the Mall Galleries in London yesterday I was so happy to be asked to sign copies of my book " How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour". The feedback I have received about my first book has been overwhelming, positive and really enthusiastic which is helping me write my second book to be launched next year. At the moment this second books' evolvement feels as though I am holding a wonderful secret and Christmas gift all rolled up into one in my heart until it is finally published and shared.

When I arrived at the Mall Galleries in London yesterday I was thrilled to see stocks of my book " How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour" on show and posters advertising my demonstrations there. I knew I had signed many copies during the day but was thrilled and surprised to learn that all the copies had sold that day. Even my card designs for sale during the SWA Society for Women Artists 150th Annual Exhibition had almost sold out.

The Mall Galleries have informed me that they will be ordering more books and although they may not be in the gallery shop before the end of the exhibition they will be back on sale there very soon so if you are in London please know more are on the way !

Thank you so much to everyone who bought a copy of my book, who have written a fabulous review and who have shared my joy in becoming an author for the first time. I am desperately now working on completeing the second book and making it as exciting as possible. With new ideas and techniques to try.

What an incredible week!

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.
