WATERCOLOUR HAVEN

Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances Watercolour Haven is temporarily closed.

The warm atmosphere and generous demonstrations donated by so many artists over a period of time have been incredible.The friendships formed have also contributed to the Haven being one of the most popular ,successful and unique art sites online.

Very sincere and special thanks are owed to the wonderful Haven team who made this possible. Especially the generous technical teams,Jutta and Volker who created a very special online Art Centre enjoyed by so many.

Please contact Jean for further details.

Artist Profile.

"Meeting Jean is an interesting experience. Red haired with green eyes, she has the proverbial Celtic appearance and an ideal Artist's temperament..Genuninely in love with life, Jean Haines has the ability to find joy in all that she sees around her and radiates positive energy so strongly that you cannot help absorbing some of that yourself "

Interview with Sudra Chandran Panorama Magazine, January 2000

"Your paintings are so mystically ethereal Jean. You seem to touch the soul not only of the subject but also the observer as if one is witnessing an ephemeral event taking place" Exhibition 2005

*******************

International artist Jean Haines constantly travels the world teaching and holding exhibitions in watercolour. Having lived in Asia,Europe and the Middle East opportunities to study under famous watercolour masters have enabled this artist to absorb a variety of styles and techniques which merge with her passion for the medium to create the most amazing of paintings .

A soul who shines with emotion which is easily observed in any of Jeans energetic and exciting workshops held less frequently now due to demands for her collectible watercolours. Many seeing Jean in action feel enchanted and more alive purely by being around her.The enthusiasm she generates from her incredible talent and gift for sharing has to be seen to be believed. Those who think they can't paint, do under her guidance and soon become as addicted to painting as she is. Those who have simply lost motivation or a connection with their work improve and she is thrilled that many students worldwide are now exhibiting also.

To have a gift in life of a talent is something to be both treasured and shared which Jean does with an open heart.

A true inspiration and an incredible person Jean Haines is an extraordinary artist . Meeting her is always a memorable and uplifting experience.

Her journey in professional watercolour started whilst helping illustrate a book for an orphanage in China and she has continually helped many charities including Medecin Sans Frontiers , WWF ( World Wildlife Fund ), Cancer Research, McMillan Fund and many others ever since. She has exhibited alongside many top artists such as John Yardley RI and Ken Howard RA and studied with wonderful watercolourists and such as Paul Banning RI, RSMA, AROI. Greatly influenced by artists she has met on her travels Jean really has been fortunate in her career to be blessed with her paths crossing portrait artist John Raynes, landscape artist John Harris, Trevor Waugh who have effected how she works.

Passing on inspiration is a pleasure Jean enjoys to the full.

A professional Associate of the SAA ( Soctiety for All Artists ) Jean never tires of painting , demonstrations, teaching or exhibiting.

Described as an " Embassador of Watercolour " she will continue to share her passion worldwide.
