Atmospheric Animals in Watercolour by Jean Haines

A Jean Haines painting is never wanting for colour, enthusiasm and vitality. Here she turns her expressive brushwork to the natural world, painting everything from wild elephants to house cats, while placing the emphasis on introducing textures and exploiting the fluid nature of watercolour.

Handy “homework” prompts prove useful encouragement to go further, too. Turn to page 62 to read an exclusive extract from the book. Search Press. www.searchpress.com
