Watercolours With Life: Through The Rainbow

Through The Rainbow

New Season , New Watercolours!

"Through The Rainbow"

I have often thought I look at the world through rose coloured spectacles. I see everything as a beautiful subject to paint and everyone I meet as a new friend. Life is far too short to feel differently.

This week I have worked on my next book as the final photography shoot is only in two weeks time. I still have so much to complete so my blog and facebook page has fallen very quiet of late.

My new "Sailing Through" collection will be on show at the Wey Gallery in Godalming ,Surrey from tomorrow.

I will be showing at an exhibition in Autumn and at present am working on my workshop schedule for 2012. The first gorgeous workshops will take place in February and I will be releasing dates and information for the year ahead soon.

Next year I will be holding workshops in February,April and June in UK.

Until everything is finalised I will leave the details for now because there is usually a race for bookings! I hope to have everything online by the end of this month and the only advise I can offer to secure a place is please book early as my sessions next year are really limited.This is due to my book launch, new DVD filming and exhibitions. But the good news is the sessions I do have available are going to be the best ever!

In fact I can't wat!

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.
