Geranium

Watercolour Demonstration Dedham Hall 2012

The workshop programme for 2013 has finally been completed and full details will be on my blog and web site next week. There are some fabulous new sessions, old favourites and special opening door days for new artists who have not had a chance to come on one of my workshops before.

If you have forwarded your name by email to me you should be receiving information fairly soon.

Due to my exhibitions and travelling next year workshop days are very limited so please book early to ensure you have a place!

Artists from last weeks Dedham Hall workshop may be interested in the background wash of the simple geranium demonstration from the garden at Dedham Hall. Light played a very big part of this composition and the plants in situ helped by showing exactly where it should be!

Dedham Hall

Watercolour Course

14th -21st September 2013

I am well aware that my watercolour workshops and courses fill very quickly and that by the time many artists hear of them they are often already too late to book a place. Last week I loved teaching a weeks watercolour course at Dedham Hall which is a wonderful venue near to the location where the famous haywain scene was painted by John Constable.

This is a very special place to visit and workshop places are strictly limited to allow me time to give personal tuition to each artist attending throughout the week.

If you would like a place next year please contact Wendy or Jim as soon as possible via this link

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.
