Laughter is the Best Medicine!

Colours of Africa

SOLD

We may be all in the same boat but I don't have a painting of a boat handy to go on my blog so a lady carrying a heavy load works just as well!

I have laughed so much this afternoon at some of the wonderful comments in reply to my blog post

"Demise of a Woman". It seems many of us are in the same boat juggling so much in order to find time to paint. As my profession has become even more busy I am finding less time to move my brushes due to so many other areas connected with my art life. It's nice to know I am not alone in wishing my brushes were in my hands for most of the day instead of dealing with everything else!

The good news is I am all ready to share my selected painting from the July Watercolour challenge and it will be on my blog tomorrow. I have loved looking at all the wonderful pieces sent to me and it has felt like a fabulous holdiay from writing .A huge thank you to everyone who sent me their flowers to enjoy.

Roll on tomorrow!

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.
