This is an excellent DVD and I definitely recommend it. Several good tips are given, plus it's just really nice to watch a master pastelist start with a blank paper and create this amazing portrait right before your eyes.

This artist is excellent...a totally different approach to what I've seen from other artists. But the initial sketch is a bit long and skipped some steps like painting the highlights and the hair.

She is a very good artist and had some very good points to make. I do not think this DVD is good for beginners. It is edited and it omitted some parts that, to me, were essential in any pastel instruction. As I was waiting to see how she did something, the next scene showed it already done. Since she does not use her fingers or a stump for blending, I really wanted to see how she laid the color down on the beard and the hair. This was still a good lesson.

Fabulous! Her drafting skills were amazing....she was able to articulate her process without distraction from the actual work. Her color choices, contrast and adjustments were flawless! I totally loved this DVD and watched it twice! Jene Rizzo
