Anonymous said...: I recently purchased this book as I was getting disheartened about painting in watercolor lately. I really love your painting style and have your other books, but I was hesitant about buying another WC painting book, but took a risk. It has certainly paid off and last week I tried out a few of the exercises at the beginning of the book. I enjoyed painting without working toward an outcome and it seems that I have managed to 'accidentally' paint something, that actually looked like something, but a bit abstract. My Blues turned into seascapes and my yellows have now been made into landscapes. I work full time, have two dogs, a husband and am learning French so my only free time is sometimes on the weekends. Your book has been an inspiration for me and helping me to loosen up. Thank you for making it. On another note I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your dog. I had a cat for 18 years and was devastated when he 'went' and I don't know what I would do without my two spaniels even though I have a lovely family around me. Time and living in the moment is a great healer. All the best to you.; 1 October 2016 at 07:00

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.
