David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year 2012 Exhibition

Elephant appearing from a textured watercolour wash

This week I sold the last of my rabbit paintings from a gallery. But I have one very special hare painting that has remained in my studio and it is wrapped carefully in preparation for its journey to the Mall Galleries,London where it will be in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year 2012 Exhibition.

I have mentioned in several previous posts that I feel very humble to be included in this art event where many leading wildlife artists have work on display that always without fail takes my breath away in its talent, originality and skill.

I am so looking forward to the exhibition later this year.

Details can be found via this link.

If you are an artist who adores painting animals why not join the DSWF foundation and recieve news of next years event so that you too can submit and hopefully take part in an art exhibition that truly does more than show gorgeous creations but helps save wildlife too.

Wildlife that needs our action and now.

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.
