Lady Taverners and SWA,Society for Women Artists Event

Lady Taverners and SWA, Society for Women Artists Event

Behind the scenes over the last few months I have been working with the President of the SWA ,Barbara Penketh Simpson and Sally Surridge ,the Chairlady of the Lady Tavernners on a charity event that will be taking place during the SWA,Society for Women Artists 150th Exhibition. It has been wonderful watching everything come together for a night which will surely be one to remember for many reasons. During the fabulous evening, celebrity and wonderful personality, Angela Rippon will be sitting for a portrait by SWA Member and portrait artist Caroline De Peyrecave.

There will also be a sculpture in progress of Barbara Minto who has kindly sponsored the event.

There will be a very unique art auction taking place with work donated generously by SWA members. For example my horse racing watercolour painting on the invitation will be linked with a very incredible real racing day arranged at Newmarket where the winning bidders will be flown.

Details of which I will share in another post.

This will be a very spectacular night to remember so it really will be worthwhile booking tickets as soon as possible.

For full details please visit the SWA,Society for Women Artists web site.

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.
