Footloose

"Footloose"

( Sold )

I am over the moon! I have just seen my specialist and and thrilled to share the news that I am now able to walk minus crutches and have seen the last of the surgery on my ankle following my accident earlier this year. In fact I may even be dancing on New Years Eve and in heels!

The above skating penguin seemed a delightful little watercolour to share to show my happiness.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent me such kind messages to cheer me through the whole process. I am really so happy and will be bouncing all over the palce on my workshops in 2014!

Have a great time leading up to your own Christmas and I will be sharing back to normal on my blog as often as I can now. Getting to my studio hasn't alwas been easy whilst I have been recovering but life is about to get better!

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.
