Patchings 2013

NOW : Friday 7th June All Day

Originally I had been invited to demonstrate at Patchings on every single day this year with two demonstrations on the Saturday, one on Thursday and one on Sunday. Unfortunately life threw a hiccup my way by my accident and sadly, I will now only be able to be there on Friday 7th June. I will be there all day in my own marquee as a special guest artist invited by Patchings.

I will be there from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. and I am looking forward to meeting everyone who visits on that day.

I have had so many emails from artists who had booked tickets to see me demonstrating with my publisher on the Thursday and I really am sorry and hugely disappointed not to be able to make it. There are several problems that are preventing me coming. Firstly I cannot stand for very long due to my broken ankle. This means I can't demonstrate to a large crowd as happened last year when I was there. Both demonstrations were sold out and there was standing room only. I know that if I sat down people at the back of the tent wouldn't see a thing! Secondly I have my next appointment with my specialist on Thursday which is important for my moving forward with physiotherapy and being able to walk again. Having said that my husband has kindly agreed to drive me to Patchings immediately after my hospital appointment so that I will be there on Thursday night, ready for the Friday. And that is sdaly all I am allowed to do at the moment.

I do hope to meet all the artists who said they wished to see me there on another occasion.

For anyone who had booked a ticket for a day I am now not there I really am so very sorry to miss you.

To those who are coming on Friday, I can't wait to meet you.

Jean.

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.
