I love this video. The colors are beautiful and the finished painting is breath taking. I loved watching it being painted in different steps. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. There is so much more I would have liked to see.

To be honest, I was amazed by the vibrant colours used and the different techniques, which is simply very eyeopening for me. I love the picture and you have thrown out the rule book and set your own rules.

You can learn a lot by just watching. Techniques are briefly described on screen while pleasant music is playing and the clinking and tapping of the brush on water glasses can be heard. I would have liked to hear from the artist and what her thought process was as she painted, but like I said you can learn by simply observing.
Nice video, good length, good lighting, good camera work so that you can see the brush touching the paper at all times. The hand is never in the way, which makes this a better learning experience in my opinion.
All in all, great value for your money.

This is a beautiful painting but I was a little disappointed in the camera work. I would be willing to pay more to have it explained in more detail. Is this entire painting done wet on wet? There were parts where you knew something was happening but you couldn't see the brush.

All are very good! I saw many things which inspired me to try and they all worked well. I love the subject matter, it takes courage and self assurance to take on something so complex. It gave me hope that I might be able to do the same with enough practice of the techniques shown here.
