Watercolours With Life: Sweet Sensation

Sweet Sensation

Painting Perfume

Sweet Pea coming to life in watercolour washes.

Something magical is happening.

I can feel it.

As I work on my next book my own watercolours are changing. Mainly because I am constantly repeating the wonderful new techniques I wish to share in it. Yesterday I completed what has to be my favourite chapter so far. My fingers flew across my keyboard as my enthsuaism reached a level which was an incredible high. I literally bounced around my home last night with that fabulous glow which only comes from having a sense of sheer happiness.I thought I knew myself so well by now but no, an inner " inner" artist is emerging and this one I am absolutely thrilled to know!

I can't wait to work on the next chapter knowing it will trigger excitement when it is read. This has to be the most uplifting of experiences of my life knowing I can give away all that I have learned about watercolour in the hope my new book will bring so much joy to other artists when they read it.

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

Thank you to everyone who is sending me emails with paintings of flowers for my July Challenge.

I will keep my word and share my favourite painting on my blog this Friday.

I will also give positive feedback on why it works for me!

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.
