Lyndhurst Gallery : Coming Soon!

JEAN HAINES SWA Originals Coming Soon

With a passion for creating contemporary paintings in watercolour, Jean Haines SWA has established an international reputation. Having lived and travelled in many countries, Jean has developed her skills whilst working under the influence of masters from Asia, the Middle East and Europe. As a result her enjoyable and accessible style speaks of a mixture of East and West. Jean combines Chinese approaches to brush control with the vibrant colours found in India and Pakistan to bring to life a medium more commonly associated with quieter works in Europe.
Jean works directly without preliminary sketches and allows a free flow of water, leading to startling results that can leave viewers awestruck. With an abundance of light and beautiful colour, Jean's paintings have the ability to take an ordinary subject and transform it into something extraordinary. She achieves the kind of consistently unique results to which many artists can only aspire. Jean's highly sought after paintings can be found in homes and private collections all over the world.
Jean is a member of the SWA, Society for Women Artists. She won the Anthony J Lester Award in 2009 during the SWA Annual Exhibition where her work was likened to Joseph Crawhalls from the famous Glasgow Boys.

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.
