"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" DVD Trailer

Filming " Amazing Ways With Watercolour" with Town House Films in Norwich.

This is where as an artist I feel very nervous! It was so exciting creating the film but now is the time to sit back and see if it is enjoyed. The aim of the film really is to inspire and motivate rather than give a definite step by step demonstration as found in so many existing products.These to me are often wonderful but can lead to a million paintings of exactly the same thing world wide which is what I strive so hard to work against and avoid in my workshops. I adore results that are original and stand out from the rest for whatever reason.

With so many glorious colours available it's now quite easy to simply have a ball creating. However having an understanding of watercolour as a medium, discovering what it can do while consistently exploring new approaches in technique are keys to unlocking the doors to achieving great results. I am trying to make unlocking these doors seem even more exciting in a fresh approach. Losing the preliminary sketch and making first brush marks truly count is vital to a pleasing outcome.

I truly believe there is a time for trying something new in ways of working with a favourite medium which is why I am sharing mine in this film. I also genuinely believe there is an artist within us all.

Finding a unique style is a journey that should be relished rather than feared.

I hope my passion for watercolour comes across in this DVD. For now I will be sitting anxiously waiting for the first comments I recieve when it is viewed !

" Amazing Ways With Watercolour" is available from Town House Films and can be pre ordered worldwide.

Nancy Wallace said...: Just watched the trailer of your DVD - looks good. I find demonstrations (or recorded demonstrations) much easier to learn from than books. In the trailer you are working on a sloping surface - do you always work like that, or do you work on a horizontal plane sometimes?; 8 March 2011 at 02:12

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.
