About Jean Haines: A member of the Society for Women Artists (SWA), international watercolorist 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 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 colors they used. The magical free flow of water and color straight on to a blank working surface (with no initial drawing) creates amazing results. She regularly writes for art magazines and exhibits in a number of galleries. Jean lives in Crookham Village, Hampshire. Read our review of this book by clicking here.
