Constant travelling has given Jean the opportunity to study techniques from masters of many nationalities. Her passion for watercolour is evident in her paintings which are created with expressive brushstrokes in a loose style minus the use of a preliminary sketch. Her aim is to capture the essence of the subject with a feeling of emotion and life in her work. In Hong Kong Jean studied Chinese Brushwork which she incorporates in an East meets West combination of techniques.
Jean held her first solo exhibition at the Hunar Gallery in Dubai where her portraits became highly collectible. In 2008 Jean had work selected for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London and regularly exhibits at the Market Street Gallery in Alton, Hampshire and the Peter Hedley Gallery in Wareham, Dorset along with many Art Association events. Elected as an Associate member of the SWA, Society for Women Artists, Jean was presented with the Anthony J. Lester Art Critic Award in 2009 for her painting “Morning Calls”. Jean holds popular workshops in watercolour throughout the year which are held in Winchfield, Hampshire attended by artists from all over the world including France, Italy and South Africa. Dates and details of each can be found on Jeans web site. www.jeanhaines.com Jean teaches watercolour internationally and will be holding her first watercolour workshops in Norway in summer 2010. A Professional Associate of the SAA (Society for All Artists) Jean regularly writes art features on a variety of subjects and techniques for the SAA Paint Magazine. Jeans first book on watercolour will be available later this year. To see regular updates on Jeans work and activities you can also visit her blog.
