New Book Launch 2012

"How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour"

Book Cover Painting.

I really have switched off from the outside world at the moment as I am enjoying working on my second book. I have covered the introductory sections and loved leading to the time where I can share the combination of new techniques that I have been quietly keeping secret until my next book is launched in 2012. At times it's been so hard not racing to my computer to show my latest paintings which will be seen for the first time when my book comes out next year..

On my easel I have a series of several new subjects which I am hoping will be a complete surprise. The favourites that I have painted for so long like cockerels,portraits and racing scenes have a whole new look. Holding them back it is like looking forward to Christmas waiting for gifts you have carefully selected for friends and family to open, hoping they will love what is inside the wrapping.

It is too early to choose the new cover painting but that time is fast aproaching.With so many subjects to choose from inside the book its going to be very hard deciding what represents my style the most!

This is avery exciting part of my art journey.

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.
