Glow Magazine Interview January 2012

My blog falls quiet when I have many projects on the go and I am so sorry that it does. Finding time to juggle so much that is happening in my life isn't easy these days! Behind the scenes I have been communicating with USA, Australia, Italy and Hong Kong regarding future watercolour workshops and book signing events. I am also working on a major solo in Spring this year.

A short while ago I was approached and invited to be a guest artist for Glow Magazine. I agreed to an interesting interview with Angela Woods. I find it completely fascinating, reading questions raised when these opportunities arise. This particular interview honestly did make me stop and think about how my art career started and why I feel as passionate as I do about sharing my love of watercolour. So if you have time to read this, maybe grab a cup of coffee and catch up with what I have been doing,who I am and why I paint via this frank and honest feature.

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.
