Norway Watercolour Workshops 2010

Norway Watercolour Workshops 2010

This Summer I will be teaching watercolour techniques in Norway and I recently met the organisers as they were visiting London. They are amazing people and over lunch showed me photographs of where I will be staying and teaching. The natural beauty and colours in the scenery in Norway I have heard of many times in my life but this will be the very first time I have been there. I was surprised to learn how reasonable the flights to Norway are from UK and that accomodation can be as little as £30 -£50 per night which is far more reasonable than many countries I am used to travelling to.

There will be two watercolour workshops running over a time frame of two weeks. At the moment there are places available and yes even if you have come to workshops with me in UK I really don't mind if you book these too. I am getting such lovely emails asking me if I mind if anyone books every session they can with me and the answer is I don't mind at all! Everyone is welcome, absolutely everyone!

So if you would like a painting holiday in Norway now is the time to book with wonderful people who can help you with everything you need to know about a great place to visit and stay at the best prices !

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.
