A Day in the Life Of..............This Artist!

I must admit I am looking back on my day so far and feel I am reading about someone elses life!

USA Watercolour Workshops 2012

I started my morning with emails connected to my USA Watercolour tour in Autumn 2012. The good news is New York is confirmed with the location and workshop timing, so will be advertised very soon. Emails have gone to all the artists who contacted me about this event which is very exciting.

I am hoping to hear the finalised details for my visit to Texas very soon and there could be a surprise venue also.

My New Book 2012

Next I recieved a package from my publishers with all the images from last weeks photography shoot and they are FABULOUS! I now have the task of selecting each demonstration shot and writing about it before the completed book goes to my publishers for approval and final design lay out editing.

France

I also had an invitation to exhibit in France which for now is a project I will work on quietly until I am able to share the full news.

Art Event UK 2012

I have been working on new art event for 2012 which will add to my existing watercolour workshops in UK due to the lack of places available on my sessions here. There were many enthusiastic bookings very quickly so a two day event may be added to my existing schedule.

Exhibition in October.

My email messages are currently going all over the world and I am so thrilled with leading such a wonderful art life. I will be sharing all the excitement on my blog very soon and the paintings I am currently working on for my October exhibition at the Frame Gallery in Odiham.

I would say " Watch This Space" but I am watching it too as I haven't clue what wonderful thing is going to happen next!

"and discover that my art is corresponded, fill my soul and many others." You're my inspiration. Congratulations! Grace; 29 September 2011 at 04:48

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.
