Exciting New Orleans Workshops 2018 !

"All That Jazz"

Painted with two of my favourite Daniel Smith Shades.

NEW ORLEANS 2018

"Watercolour and More"

Exciting new workshops full of fabulous new subjects and inspirational techniques.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be returning to New Orleans next year to the same terrific venue. This year my workshops were held at David Art Center and everyone who attended found the location to be absolutely amazing. Apart from being above an art store the owners are so enthusiastic about art, and have so much knowledge regarding art products, that teaching here was a delight.

I also adored New Orleans so much which is why I am returning.

Artists attending these workshops have a special rate at a nearby hotel f they book early which they will need to do at this popular time of year there. Our stay this year was incredible as we enjoyed the buzzy atmosphere there, which in turn led me to leave feeling not only highlyinspired and re energised but the number of new subjects I have to paint now is out of this world. See above watercolour to get a sense of what I mean. Around every street corner in New Orleans there is a painting waiting to happen. And the food is far too interesting and delicious!

Please join me if you are needing a boost in working in watercolour, fancy a terrific inspirational break and want to grow and improve your style as an artist. I have to admit, this destination has completely boosted my own art.

Please note to book a place you need to contact the art store directly. And as quickly as possible because places are as always strictly limited.

Here are the dates and contact details for booking a place next year.

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.
