We Three Kings

"We Three Kings"

Bearded Collies in the snow

Goodness time is really flying at the moment! I am working on the last of my Christmas commissions and delivering gifts to special friends and colleagues. Yesterday I visited The Frame Gallery in Odiham and was delighted to see the wacky reindeer from my "What Is It Challenge" on my blog beautifully framed and ready to be given as a gift to a gorgeous little boy.

I had a meeting yesterday afternoon, looking ahead to 2012 which is going to be a very full and exciting year.

I am going to gradually add details here on my blog but for now I must get back to my brushes.Otherwise there could be asome disappointed faces next week when Santa does not deliver what he was expected to!

**************

A huge thank you to the Fleet Art Group for a wonderful Monday afternoon. I loved seeing everyone and demonstrating for friends old and new.

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.
