Watermark Exhibition : Frame Gallery, Odiham, Hampshire UK.

Magical Catch

£595

SOLD

Last night saw the opening of my new solo exhibition at the Frame Gallery in Odiham, Hamsphire. It was wonderful listening to feedback on my collection from visitors to the gallery and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone who came on the night. One of the first paintings to sell was " Magical Catch" , the kingfisher above. Following the exhibition opening I had another event to attend so I must admit this morning my batteries needed recharging. However I still found myself racing to my stuido and completing a truly exciting chapter for my new book. I have a meeting with my publishers coming up and I am really eager to show them whats' happening in this next publication.

Having looked at all the vibrant colours in my paintings on display last night I have found myself really inspired to keep my own brushes moving to create.

I am still in a Spring mood so it is still floral work that is on my easel.

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.
