Hampshire Life Magazine : Painted Escapes, Four Seasons Hotel

In this months issue of " Hampshire Life" magazine there is a wonderful feature on " Painted Escapes" the retreats I am holding at Four Seasons Hotel.Hampshire from 26- 28th April starting with a welcome evening on the 26th April at the hotel..

The location is absolutely beautiful as the hotel is set in gorgeous countryside. There are wonderful places to visit nearby which include Jane Austens home in Chawton. The hotel spa is perfect to relax in and the gardens perfect to paint as are the canal scenes that are nearby. Quaint little village chruches are dotted in the surrounding villages and the rural area is peaceful being full of the beauty of Spring.

These are the first two day seminars I have held in UK and the retreats are aimed at looking at ways to work with colour,capture the essence of a variety of subjects whilst relaxing at the same time through the creative process. The sessions are going to be unique,inspirational and highly motivational on many levels.

Bookings can be made directly through the hotel but if you are interested please book early to avoid disappointment.

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.
