5 out of 5 stars Excellent instructer   December 24, 2008
Excellent instructor for a beginner artist. He went slow so you could keep up and explained each step well. Only complaint, about 2/3rds of the way through someone should have kicked the camera person in the hind end and woke them up as they were apparently getting bored and lagging way behind what he was doing. But would still recommend the video as he was excellent.

An excellent video for beginners. Very clear and easy to follow instruction. Ability to complete a painting while watching. I wish the artist had more videos available.

I liked it. It illustrated how to put paint onto the canvas (or other)with as little effort as possible. The lack of info on the carton didn't bother me as I can CLEARLY see in the ad that the artists' name is Don Adams. I enjoyed his Bob Ross approach to paint for the fun of it and worry about the details later (or never).

The quality of both the content and production of this video is VERY poor. Unfortunately, I can't recommend an alternate video for oil painting; however any of the following books would be a much better choice: "All About Techniques in Oil," "The Oil Painting Book," (Cheevy), "Oil Painting for the Serious Beginner," (Allrich) or any of the artist books published by Watson-Guptill or North Light.

I feel I'm being generous in giving one star. This is one of the poorest videos in my collection. If you're a beginner, please don't start here. It will teach you bad habits that you will just have to "unlearn" when you finally do start painting.
