First Two DVDs

 I am very excited about both of my first two DVDs, and I am not alone.

Here are some of the email comments I have been honored to receive about them.

“Your DVDs complement your book very well.”  D. Carrozzino

“I thought I would let you know your DVD is the best.  I have bought several from artists and 

found yours complete and easy to understand.”  J. Yarbrough

“Your enclosures (the materials list, the several photos) are a wonderful help.  You have really made

 a fabulous "learning tool" with your production!!!  I think the part that makes your 

DVD unique is the camera position, which is set up for the VIEWER to see at his/her BEST!   

And it is shown "close-up and personal"!  You let the viewer be RIGHT THERE on the part you are painting, 

and your way of showing and explaining is just excellent. GREAT way to LEARN!!!”    B. Strasen

“I have received the DVDs and they are wonderful. 

Fully informative and actually the best instructional videos I've seen.”  A. Moore

Luminous Color with Underpainting and Glazing:

Hard and shiny fruits with brass

 is the first in the Luminous Color with Underpainting and Glazing series,

 and presents the techniques for painting with 

gorgeous transparent colors over a reflective underpainting.  

 This DVD will show you how to create an underpainting in oils 

with enough white in it so that when

 the transparent glaze colors are painted on top of it, 

the glaze colors will glow with light.  

I love this technique for several reasons, 

but the qualities that I love most about it are 

the luminosity and beauty of the colors.   

I used colorful objects because it is so much fun 

and so satisfying to watch these beauties come alive 

with the technique of underpainting and glazing.   

The objects are all shiny and reflective, 

so it is also a lesson on how to create those illusions.

Some of the topics that are presented include:

                                                        The how’s and why’s of a toning layer

                                                        Using mop brushes to smooth out your paint

                                                        Mixing colors for the underpainting

                                                        Brush techniques for blending the paint

                                                        Color choices for glazing

                                                        How to apply glazes for maximum luminosity

                                                        Confidently building the dark areas of a painting

                                                        Creating the illusion of “shine” and reflections

                                                        Time:  Approximately 2 hours

                                                        DVD comes in a plastic dvd case with the line drawing that 

                                                        can be enlarged, a photo of the finished painting, reference

                                                        photos, and a supply list with the major color mixes listed on it.

                                                        Price:  $49

Elegant Drapery 

In this DVD I present the thought and painting processes

for creating successful rolls, folds and wrinkles in drapery.  

Fabric can be a wonderful addition to so many compositions, 

but can be intimidating to draw and paint.  

By paying attention to three simple elements 

you will learn how to confidently paint the forms and movements of fabric; 

from simple rolls and wrinkles to areas that are more complex.  

Although the painting was done in oils, the ideas and techniques can be used in any media.

Some of the topics that are presented include:

                                                            Painting a background with subtle gradations

                                                            Brush technique for blending

                                                            Three simple elements for creating folds

                                                            Glazing the shadow

                                                            Mixing “whites”

                                                            How flower petals are like drapery folds

                                                            Time:  Approximately 2 hours                                                           

                                                            DVD comes in a plastic dvd case with the line drawing that 

                                                            can be enlarged, a photo of the finished painting, reference

                                                            photos, and a supply list with the major color mixes listed on it.

                                                            Price:  $49
