Floral Still Life

...with Robert A. Johnson

Painting: Oil how-to video: Floral Still Life by Robert  A. Johnson 5_bulb Review this video!

Filmed during a recent workshop he conducted at Liliedahl Fine Art Studio, Robert Johnson gives a tour de force performance of his elegant, classic painting style. Taken to completion, the painting demonstration provides the student of oil painting with a complete understanding of how a painting is conceived, blocked-in, and painted from beginning to end. If you are a painter aspiring to paint roses (or any still-life subject), this video is a must see!

Ahhh, if only I could be a canvas under Robert Johnson's brush. He clearly loves painting and caresses his canvases with his brush. He makes the difficult look easy and understandable. He gives a wide range of information so that both a newer painter and a more experience one will benefit and enjoy this DVD. Recommended!

Robert Johnson gave a wonderful performance throughout the entire video. A generous and very giving man, Robert is very patient when it comes to describing his process. Every color mixture and brush stroke is documented quite well with Roberts inspiring narration guiding every step of the way.

This is one of Ralph Liliedahl more brilliant productions. Camera angles were always more than acceptable, careful placement of lighting never a glare on the subject or canvas, with plenty of palette time showing Roberts glowing mixtures.

Robert Johnson will put the most petrified painter at ease and allow you to feel good about the painting process. His guidance is almost spiritual.

If you are into floral still life paintings, then you should enjoy this DVD set. Robert Johnson starts with his tinted canvas and takes you step by step on how he arrives at the final painting. He is not a gabby person, but gives the necessary information. The DVD quality is also good. Lots of close ups on the painting and his palette.

This is the first Robert Johnson DVD I have viewed. I enjoyed it very much. The physical picture of the DVD was great. There are close ups of the still life set up, his palette, his canvas and brush strokes. He explains why he uses certain techniques for this particular painting and what colors and the linen he uses. He allows you to feel comfortable in wiping paint off the canvas and using ones fingers as a blending tool. He shows you how to arrive at the final perfect stroke. This stroke does not always come right away. I have been painting still life for 4 years. There is always more to learn and this set has given to me more information to work with. I think it is worth renting for anyone.

A great instructor Robert Johnson. It was like being there-unfortunately I couldn't ask any questions though many were answered as the dvd progressed. I would rent others by him in the near future. I would especially would like to rent the azeala dvd but I would have to take a week off to view it. Thanks for your web site it allows me to view dvds that I was thinking of purchasing without having to pay for something that would end up sitting on the shelf. Keep 'em coming! Tom

The videos are excellent. Production quality is quite good. The information is exceptional. Mr. Johnson gives freely of his techniques, paint mixes and general information.

I learned a lot just by watching the artist's brush strokes. Would recommend!

Reviewer: Donna J.

Enjoyed this instructional CD. It was very slow moving which, I confess, made me lose my concentration. The artist was very skilled and he had many tips for the beginner as well as the intermediate. I just couldn't watch for any length of time. I had to view it in short 15 minute sections because I would get bored and want to paint my own canvas. It may have helped if I had been painting along with the artist.

This video was very informative and the artist was an excellent painter and obviously knew a lot about his medium. Unfortunately, it was too slow moving for me. I could not stay awake and watch the video. I had to watch it in short segments. I would recommend painting along with the artist. That may have helped my concentration.

Robert Johnson is not only a wonderful artist but a great teacher.

Shows humility and patience I learned more from these two disks than from years of trial and error.

I would highly recommend both of these videos. Robert Johnson is a consumate professional and holds nothing back. The quality of these videos and camera angles are excellent.

Robert Johnson is one of my favorite painters, especially his luscious floral still lifes. Although his painting style is very tedious, I have enjoyed watching him paint every stroke so meticulously. I will take many tips and techniques with me. If you enjoy juicy, lively still life, you will get alot out of this lengthy DVD. Wish there were lots more.

It is a pleasure to watch Robert A. Johnson paint. He's the oil-painting equivalent of a calligraphy master:he seems to paint from his soul. His gestural "under-painting" had a liveliness and excitement that could have stood as a final painting. I often held my breath as his paint-ladened brush described the lit side of a flower or leaf, then tapered off into shadow. He works with a thoughtfulness that ensures the right color and value, the right amount of paint and the right gesture. Each stroke is intended to be perfect as though he has only one shot at getting it down. The result is a lusciousness and freshness in the finished painting. I recommend this DVD very highly.

Excellent dvd part 2. Robert Johnson is a fantastic alla prima artist and gives a wonderful presentation of this process. Beautiful, energetic brushwork. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn this technique.
