I have always loved Ann Pember's water colors and have learned a lot from her book and also from her DVD Vibrant Orchid. In the future I would like to rent all of her DVDs. For all you water colorists out there I recommend this DVD.

Wonderful, beautiful painting. This video is a great demonstration of getting the paint flowing in watercolor. My one caveat would be this is probably not the best video for a beginner. It is a wonderful demonstration, but does not focus on basic techniques that a beginner would need. If you already know the basics and want to kick your painting up a notch, this one is great.

Great video, I painted while I watched. She taught me about using the flat brushed.

This is an excellent DVD because Ann shows you exactly how she paints 1 whole painting. You see how each stroke goes in closeup. On other DVDs, they just tell you to move your brush this way and then they show you the effect after they have done it. You don't learn that way. Ann Pember's DVD is stroke by stroke which is what I like.

Really great! Valuable instruction and demonstration of technique. Information on color pallete and brushes as well. Shows touching up a painting and knowing when to stop. I loved it!

Not being one interested in painting flowers, the DVD was not too helpful to me. However, the notes at the end of the presentation were interesting and informative.
