Customer Reviews

Jean Haines is amazing!

I like to play at watercolor painting. Jean takes that "Play" as a time of serious learning. She experiments with colors daily and saves her results to build on later. Her loose, free style is very beautiful. She has studied art in China and India, and lessons have helped to influence her artistic style.
