UK Summer Workshops 2016

"Simple Beauty"

Bindweed in Watercolour

I have just spent the most amazing two weeks teaching my UK Summer watercolour workshops and have to say I feel so inspired from them. The artists attending came from USA. Spain, Singapore, Australia and South Africa.

I held a two day watercolour retreat the week before last. And then last week saw me teaching four one day workshops, each with a fabulous and exciting theme. I have had a ball. When anyone asks me how I can spend so much time teaching I have to answer that I love it. I love meeting new people. I love seeing old friends as in returning artists and I love sharing my passion for painting in my favourite medium.

Now I am home, back working in my studio for my upcoming exhibition which I will remind everyone of and share details in a new blog post.

But for now. I just want to say I am back online and ready to share on my blog again!

I am back!

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.
