Watercolours With Life: Patchings Art Festival 2015

Patchings Art Festival 2015

I'm packed and ready to leave for Patchings Art Festival which opens this week on Thursday. I am thrilled to have been invited again as a Guest Artist to demonstrate on stage in the main St Cuthbert Mills marquee. I will be on stage on Thursday, Friday and Saturday sharing and giving an insight into my way of working with watercolour. I have so much new information this year that I know I'm going to try to squeeze a whole weeks workshop into each demo! But that will only make them all the more exciting.

I will also be at my own marquee each day from Thursday to Saturday. If you are visiting please come and say Hi. I will be delighted to sign books too.

I will have copies of my new book, copies of my previous two books, cards and a few paintings for sale. Rosemary from Rosemary's brushes will have a stand and my personalised brushes will be available there. There is also a fantastic Daniel Smith stand where you can buy all my favourite colours and discover new ones of your own.

I'm hoping the weather is kind but if it isn't it will only add to the spirit of things!

I love Patchings. And it's going to be a busy but really fabulous week ahead.

See you there if you can make it!

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.
