 Quick Studies in Oil - by Doug Sawka from Spruce Grove, Alberta CA
|
|
I am a big fan of Craig Nelson. I first purchased his book '60 Minutes to Better Painting' and found it informative for all levels of painters. I recently got a VHS version of 'Quick Studies in Oil' (I am from Canada, eh) and have viewed it many times to try and get all the great suggestions down. It is a great companion visual aide to supplement his book and having both a portrait and still life demonstration adds to the range of application. I am getting more of his DVDs ASAP and am booking myself for a trip down South for his workshop.

He is just superb! - by Judy M. from Virginia

I just wanted to let you know how thorougly pleased I am with your videos! I have all of Craig Nelson's videos and I have learned more from watching and listening to him than from all of the workshops combined that I have taken over the years. He is truly one of the rare instructors/artists who can teach as well as demonstrate. I am able to follow his thought processes as well as his brush strokes. He is just superb!

Very Impressed - by John A Daly from Australia.
|
Have just viewed my second Craig Nelson DVD: "Quick Studies in under an hour". Very impressed. I enjoyed his book" 60 minutes to better painting" so I shouldn't have been surprised. I've been painting now for over 10 years and liked his constant talking about first principles, use of brush, studying and painting shapes rather than getting "caught up" with detail. The progression from the rough (but accurate) sketch to form/colour mass and finally hilights is the essence of effective oil painting and this film stresses those principles. Terrific learning film for a beginner but also of value to the experienced painter as a reminder of first principles.
Well filmed, good production. Highly recommended.
