Watercolours With Life: Where is Jean? With John!

Where is Jean? With John!

I have had so many wonderful email messages enquiring as to where I am.

Well after a fantastic tour of USA I am now back in UK, but my wonderful husband John has had to go into hospital for a total knee replacement which meant last week I was caring for my soul mate. It is no secret that I absolutely adore my husband. So, quite rightly when John needs me, he comes first. Everything else was put on hold while I spent time at the hospital at first, and then later I needed to be with John when he came home last week.

I am delighted to share the news that just one week from surgery John is doing amazingly well, is back on his feet and while he isn't quite 100% yet health wise, he is getting there.

I am now back online and able to share on my blog so please watch this space for lots of news!

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.
