Recensioner i media

Jean uses watercolour about as loosely as it's possible to do so and her paintings have an almost iridescent quality that celebrates colour, atmosphere and life. Her flowers shimmer in the light and seem almost to possess movement.There are demonstrations, but they are not at the heart of the project - this book is about learning to see and how to communicate beauty and vision.
