First, learn what to look for in the subject you choose to paint. Next, focus on planning by thinking about your story and what you want to convey in your final piece. Then it’s time to get your subject onto your paper. Michael isn’t precious about drawing, and he encourages you to use any method, including drawing freehand, projecting the image, or using the grid method.

Jean lays down pigment on dry paper and then sculpts out shapes and texture with water. It’s an approach that results in loose and personal paintings. Beginners will enjoy her approach to painting but may find the complete paintings a bit too complicated the first few attempts. Intermediate painters will benefit from Jean’s warmups as a way to get familiar with what their paints do. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJean Haines\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA few notes: Jean uses 300 pound watercolor paper and this is a must for her style. 140lb paper will dry too quickly to try Jean’s techniques. There is some audio scratching in the fourth chapter. It doesn’t obscure what Jean is saying but it is noticeable enough that we wanted to give you a heads up about it. Don’t worry though.

Free flow of water along with no fear of working directly minus the use of a preliminary sketch leads Jean to amazing results that often leave viewers of her working in awe. Light and the use of beautiful color along with the ability to take any ordinary subject and turn it into an extraordinary painting with consistently unique results is what many artists aspire to achieve. Furthermore, Jean has the ability to install enthusiasm and inspirational motivation in all around her.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaintings by Jean can be found in homes all over the world.

My work falls into a small category between realism and abstraction. Viewers who are wedded to either end of the spectrum are not always able to relate to my work.

I never have a clear idea but I work from problems and spend a great deal of time analyzing what is not working and how I can fix it.
