Over My Shoulder

Heres, Looking At You !

" Over My Shoulder "

I am working on favourite chapters of my next book and having a fantastic time sharing watercolour secrets that I have not shown in workshops before now. These are new and have evolved over time as I have developed new ideas. Each page is full of excitement and something new to ponder in working with watercolour.

Thsi morning I took a break from writing to paint one of my all time favourite subjects.This handsome guy appears to be looking ovcer his shoulder at me and almost suggesting I get back to writing!

I have a new collection of horse racing scenes developing and a new collection of cockerels which will be shown this Autumn.

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

I am really looking forward to seeing everyone at the Mall Galleries this Thursday where I will be demonstrating during the SWA,Society for Women Artists 150th Annual Exhibition.

I will be there from 11.0 a.m. - 3.30 pm.

Jeans' next book will be launched in Spring 2012

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.
