New Card Designs For Autumn

Market Street Gallery

New exhibition card collection

I am working on a new selection of cards which will be launched at the Market Street Gallery during my Colour and Light Exhibition which opens next week. I couldn't resist choosing " Five in a Row", a favourite painting of Bearded Collies with my two Taffy and Bailey amongst the group. These lovable shaggy haired dogs are so adorable to know as a breed. And having recently lost Taffy it is my way of keeping him with me in my next exhibition.

"Five in a Row "

Bearded Collies

My cat paintings have been so popular that at the time of typing this blog entry only one is available and this is one that has been in my home and enjoyed for some time.So I am parting with " Wheres The Birdie" in as part of the show and this will be available as a card from the gallery next week.

" Wheres the Birdie"

Original Painting from my Market Street Gallery Exhibition

Available as cards also which will be launched during the event

The new card of the cover of my book will be available alongside the painting which will be on show for the first time during the Market Street Gallery exhibition along with other paintings from my book which will also be on show for the first time.

"Beauty Of Venice"

Cover of my first book " How to Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour"

Knowing which pieces will be in the exhibition I am looking forward to seeing them framed and as a body of work. My return to the Market Street Gallery this Autumn is really a pleasure. I can't wait until next week.

If you are near Hampshire please visit the gallery during 21st October and 4th November. I will be there for the Preview for book signing and details of the event can be found on the Market Street Gallery, Alton web site.

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.

How To Paint Colour and Light in Watercolour

"This book is a wonderful introduction into Jeans' way of working and gives an insight into her way of thinking and approach to a large variety of subjects. All painted minus the use of a preliminary sketch."
