| Disc Two: Continuing on from disc 1, we enhance the skin tones, create soft flowing hair, and learn how to describe the net hat and the fabric of the dress. The next all-important stage is the 'fine-tuning'. Watch as Susan brings the portrait to life with all the final touches that create a naturalistic realism. Both discs contain images which may be accessed for printing on your computer. The drawing, the reference photograph and Susan's final painting may all be printed out if you wish to follow along with this portrait study. Susan's teaching is in high demand internationally. Her DVD's offer you the opportunity to study her unique style and methods in the comfort of your own home. Disc 2 contains the reference material for this project.

| REVIEWS: "Dear Susan, It was about 3 weeks ago I discovered your watercolour portrait video. I had been searching for such a video for sometime, but I notice while there is an abundance of other subjects, this one appears to be rare, at least on video. One is more likely to come across this kind of instruction in oils and they are usually more impressionist, which I find almost useless, being a realist. So, needless to say, I immediately ordered it.I received and viewed it in its entirety yesterday. Obviously you are unusually talented, but in addition to that, the easy and informal, yet very effective way that you educate the viewer as you go along was highly instructive and surprisingly enjoyable. Knowledge of one's subject and the ability to impart that knowledge effectively to others, are two vastly different skills. Not all artists double as good teachers. Luckily for us viewers, you do. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I found it most enjoyable. I assume you chose the particular subject(s) i.e. the hat with the net and rose etc, for the techniques they present. Your teaching style immediately puts the viewer at ease, it is so clear and natural, and yet there is a definite element of entertainment there somewhere. A most serendipitous experience. Would you consider doing another one?" Regards and Best Wishes. From an artist in Toronto Canada I love my DVDs! They are the best watercolor DVD's I have. Renee "Your DVD's arrived in time for Xmas and I must say they make it so much easier to use as a reference. I no longer have to keep rewinding or fast forwarding video's. The updated gallery and additional tech tips make it worthwhile even if one already has the book and video's." Cheers, Bruce Johnson |
