"Flying Colours"

Part of my collection at the SWA Society for Women Artist 150th Annual Exhibition.

Yet another busy week is flying by. I have had meetings with a gallery where I will be showing my work later this year,agreed to be included in a Summer Show and worked on an exciting feature for a leading art magazine. I have still found time to write my second book which is really so exciting. I cannot sleep at times for thinking about the new approaches in watercolour that I am dying to share.

This week news has been reaching artists who had submitted work for the SWA,Society for Women Artists 150th Annual Exhibition. I was thrilled to recieve a very excited message this week from an artist who has been to my workshops for some time and has been accepted. I have been encouraging them to submit as their work is wonderful. In fact hearing about others getting in is so thrilling especially if you have had a small hand in their art journey. This is exactly what sharing and holding workshops is all about,other emerging artists success.

To recieve word that someone is happy because of you is not only a wonderful moment but a part of life I never take for granted.

Congratulations Sue!

I can't wait for the show to open and see all the fabulous work on display.

I have several paintings in the show as all my work was accepted. I am really honoured because I know the standard is very high as each year the talent increases. I will be demonstrating during the exhibition on Thursday 7th July, 2011 and will be there all day. Everyone is welcome so please come along and be sure to say Hello if you do!

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.
