On The Hop!

"Bunny Run"

There is a saying that times flies when you are having fun. In that case I must be ecstatic with happiness! In all honesty I am. I can't take in how many wonderful things are happening or how many wonderful people I keep meeting. All because of my passion for watercolour.

Yesterday I was at a meeting regarding my 2012 Watercolour Workshops in UK and they are almost fully booked which is really frightening as the dates were only just released. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested in a session because places are disappearing really quickly.

I also had fantastic news regarding my Watercolour Workshop in New York which will take place in Autumn 2012. I will be advertsing the location and dates very soon. Again once they are available please book early as the numbers of places for the session are limited.

I am getting very excited about my trip to Texas in 2012 because I talked to the organiser on the phone and compeltely fell in love with her accent! I think I am going to be hopelessly in love with USA too !

Yes there is no doubt that 2012 is going to be full of excitement and this energy I will be pulling into my new book and workshops.

But for now I am completing my collection for the Frame Gallery in Odiham which will be full of Autumn Colours. This will open on October 28th,2011. I will be there so please come if you can make it!

My studio is now full of glorious Autumn paintings, many hold exciting sections of golds and oranges and I just can't wait to paint in the morning with renewed enthusiasm and ideas!

Life is great!

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.
