Watch two paintings being created- start to finish. Students, artists and collectors worldwide, have found this DVD to be very inspiring. It has taken Bette Ridgeway 17 years to perfect her control of the pour, which she has learned to route by building wooden armatures that direct the paint across chosen areas of the canvas. Effects are varied by what Bette Ridgeway does with her pour - sometimes only a single color is used, sometimes several at once. The consequences of this simultaneously directed and random activity emphasize rhythm and motion.

An inspiring dvd that is also informative in a different style of painting.
As a painting novice, I found this DVD to be informative, instructive and entertaining. Lots of fun to watch and enjoy!
I loved this video. It opened up new techniques for me and really made me think further about experimentation. Excellent.
Very inspiring. It gave me some new ideas for my own style of 'poured" paintings. I recommend this DVD to other artists.
Out of a rating of 5, I would give this a 2.5. I thought the technique was somewhat difficult to understand. You would need a large space and have money to purchase the materials used for Bette's method. A great deal of paint is completely wasted, as she says in the demo. There doesn't seem to be any real planning for the outcome. Yes, it is always exciting being able to watch someone paint, but this was not painting. Nancy F
Loved the video and technique. I wish she had spent more time on the paper version of this technique (the technique is normally done on gessoed canvas) but it looks easy enough to do from the small amount of info provided. She gives several examples of complete paintings and even explains how she crops the paintings using tape, a neat idea that I now use. I had thought that this pouring was random but she shows that planning is key and results can be manipulated as needed. Nicely done.
