Published in Chinese! Exciting Start to 2017

Colour and Light in Watercolour

Published in Chinese

I am over the moon. I heard a little while ago that there was interest in my books from China and today I recieved a wonderful parcel. In it were copies of my book "Colour and Light in Watercolour" published in Chinese. I am thrilled. Why? Because I lived in Asia and studied Chinese brushwork there. In fact it is because of my time living in China and painting with Chinese artists that my career took a new path.

I cannot believe I am holding one of my books, as a Chinese publication knowing that they will be hopefully inspiring others in the way that I was enchanted buying books when I lived there. I have quite a collection. All in Chinese with no English text but the art is incredible.

This is such an incredible way to start 2017. I can't help but wonder what will happen next.

I have a belief that if you dream about something for long enough your dream will come true.

One of my biggest dreams just came true and I am so very happy

Colour and Light in Watercolour.

The new expanded edition now avialable in Chinese.

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.
