Vancouver Watercolour Workshops 2016

I have arrived in Vancouver ahead of my 2016 Watercolour Workshops here and I am raring to go. After a week of filming, which was wonderful, I'm so eager to get painting that tomorrow, the first of my three workshops in Canada can't come soon enough!

These workshops were sold out very quickly and a waiting list is in place for any cancellations. I have really exciting techniques and colour ideas to share and Im hoping every single artist who attends is going to leave feeling 100% inspired and motivated .

Today is my first free day minus any travelling for a while so I'm going to enjoy a little of this fabulous city before heading to the studio to meet the organiser of this exciting art event and see the venue I will be teaching in.

A very fabulous week is looming and oh boy am I ready to paint, share, have fun and meet great people!

Roll on tomorrow!

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.
