From bare canvas to brushed-on signature, each step of this artist’s execution of painting a portrait educates and inspires. Are you searching for clear instruction on the process of portraiture? Here’s your answer! Del Priore’s methodical approach cuts through the whole process. With his introductory plan-of-action, it’s immediately apparent he appreciates order—but that doesn’t keep him from having a spirit of fun about his painting. In fact, he obviously delights in interacting with the live audience and even invites them to participate in deciding which costume the model will wear. Watching over Del Priore’s shoulder, viewers will discover workable methods for painting a portrait. Of special value is his carefully executed two-part drawing. With the preliminary sketch—the “ghost drawing”—he establishes canvas placement and facial proportions, while the secondary drawing refines features and fortifies areas of shadow. Then he moves on to applying paint, always from dark to light, quickly bringing full dimension to a flat surface.

I liked this dvd very much. He's an interesting character, very talented artist, and fun to watch paint.
One thing I noticed was either a calculated edit because there was a portion of the drawing of the face that was left out. It was a small amount of time but noticeable.
I would still recommend this DVD.
