About The Author O

A member of the Society for Women Artists (SWA), international watercolourist Jean Haines is well-known for her love of her chosen
medium. Having lived and travelled in many countries, this popular artist has had the opportunity to develop her skills whilst under the R
influence of masters from many countries, including Asia, the Middle East and Europe. She studied brush control while living in China
and this had the greatest impact on her style. Later, when working with artists from India and Pakistan, she became inspired by the
vibrant colours they used. The combination of East meets West in Jean’s style is to be enjoyed. The magical free flow of water and colour M
straight on to a blank working surface (with no initial drawing) creates amazing results, often leaving her audience breathless with
delight. Her paintings can be found in homes all over the world and in 2009 she won the Anthony J Lester Award during the SWA
Annual Exhibition, where her work was likened to Joseph Crawhalls of the famous Glasgow Boys group of artists. She regularly writes for A
art magazines and exhibits in a number of galleries. Her hugely successful workshops are held regularly in the UK. International
Workshop and Book Signing tours in 2014 in Australia and the USA in 2015 and 2016 all sold out. Her spring workshop tour in 2017 in
New Orleans in the US is close to selling out. Jean lives in Crookham Village, Hampshire. T
