He walks you through the use of various tools and techniques that he has developed over the years in both Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. Some of these include masking, color glazing, resolving design, and punching up the color. The subject matter of this color painting demonstration is the creature he designed with traditional media in 'The Techniques of Carlos Huante, Volume 1'.

This review covers both DVDs in the set.
Pros: Carlos is obviously a very skilled artist and it's certainly a privilege to watch him work and to hear him talk about his process. He demonstrates a solid technique with mention of the specific tools he uses.
Cons: There was a lot of repetition as far as the commentary went. Many of the ideas and terms such as "rhythm" were stressed over and over but never explained. There was a lot of room for adding further discussion and explanation.
Bottom Line: I recommend this DVD to anyone who admires Carlos' work.
