Watercolours With Life: Glorious Morn

Sunday 27 February 2011

Glorious Morn

Primrose Explosion

Primroses caught in an absolute riot of colour

Flowers literally bursting to life from a first and second wash

When life is wonderful and your mood is light and cheerful it is impossible not to portray these emotions in your work.The sun is shining outside my studio window and the day ahead is going to be really brilliant. Colour is flowing across clean fresh white pieces of paper and exploding with dramatic impact as they interact. It is mesmerising to watch.

It is amazing how sunshine effects our mood as does colour. This wash of spring primroses is really exciting already and needs very little to complete the composition. I decided to show how I paint these beautiful subjects as part of my new DVD " Amazing Ways With Watercolour" because gaining an initial flow is often the key to a successful finish in a painting.

Now its time to settle to the selection of paintings for the first photography shoot of my second book which takes place this week. I really am so excited and really looking forward to the session.

Whatever you are doing today I hope it leaves you feeling peaceful,happy and relaxed!

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.
