"Simply Amazing" at Mall Galleries 2011

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour "

My DVD which happily holds the record as the fastest selling DVD to date with Town House Films

I was thrilled to see that the cover painting from my DVD " Amazing Ways with Watercolour" was one of the very first paintings to sell during the charity evening held before the Private Preview of the SWA, Society for Women Artists 150th Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London this week.

This particular painting has been a really lucky piece for me and has been commented on by so many wonderful contacts in my art world. To decide to sell a painting that is a huge part of my own art journey was a difficult decision . I am wishing as much wonderful good luck and happiness to its' new owner as it has brought to my life.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought my DVD and for the incredible comments I keep receiving about it. It was a pleasure to share how I work in watercolour but even more of a pleasure to know how I handle the medium without a preliminarty sketch is being so enjoyed. It had sold out but I am delighted to share the news that it is now in stock again. So please if you haven't made an order buy one now before it disappears again!

For those wishing to purchase my DVD details are on my web site

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.
