Exhibition Paintings from new Book " Atmospheric Watercolours"

Spanish Dancer from my new book

Atmospheric Watercolours

My life as always is certainly busy. I am preparing for my 2012 exhibitions and have already delivered a new watercolour collection to be framed for my upcoming shows.

I will be releasing original paintings from my new book, "Atmospheric Watercolours", many of which have a special meaning to me as they are part of my journey and growth in my art career. Some depict scenes from my travels such as this Spanish dancer which inspired movement in my brushstrokes. I adore dance and I love feminine dresses. How the skirt picks up and moves with the dancers rhythm always excited me when watching this form of dance, as does the music.

I have also made the decision to place each paintings first proof page/text with each piece from my new book so that the original work will hold an extra special memory to each buyer and collector.

My shows this year will hold an extra element of magic and I am really looking forward to seeing the collections on display.

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.
