Watercolours With Life: Thank you!

Tuesday 20 September 2011

Thank you!

Please don't think I don't notice who is following me or take you for granted!

My life is very busy at the moment and to be honest seems to keep getting busier day by day. But when I notice a new name on my list of followers of my blog I feel very grateful that anyone finds what I share here interesting. I don't take you being here for granted because in this hectic world we all have so much to do.

So quietly,while no one is looking I just want to leave a huge thank you here to everyone who has supported me in so many ways.By buying my book, DVD, following me on twitter,facebook or my blog.

I really am very grateful and I appreciate you being with me on my art journey. And I hope to be a tiny part of yours,

Have a fabulous day,

Jean

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.
