Autumn Golds

Blackberries and Autumn leaves.

The weather here has seemed like Summer but I am still working on glorious Autumn Golds in my latest collection of paintings. This is a glimpse into my studio this afternoon and a peep at what is on my easel.

My Autumn Workshops are around the corner and I can't wait to get started with the artists on them.they are going to be fantastic!

I love this time of year so much.

Autumn is such an inspiring season. I went to East Coast to Pennsylvania last week and was a little disappointed that trees are still green. It was raining alright, but no yellow leaves on trees.
Here in California trees probably will start turning colors only in a month or two..
I love your paintings, they are surely not cold :)
Thank you,

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.
