Review this video!
Robert Johnson recently conducted a still-life workshop here in Liliedahl Fine Art Studio for a full complement of students. Mr. Johnson is a highly respected and sought after instructor, and is in great demand across the country. Filmed using 3 digital cameras, you can participate as an observer by watching this painting unfold stroke-by-stroke just as it was performed for the workshop participants. Beautiful, patterned, oriental rugs have become one of the hallmarks of Mr. Johnson's still life compositions, and he is frequently asked how to paint such fabrics and designs. His use of underpainting colors in thin applications, crowned with delicate strokes of the brush and palette knife make the process seem effortless. He fields questions from the workshop audience about subjects students most want to know. If you have never studied with this prolific artist, this is the video to own as an alternative. And if you have, then this program will reinforce all that you have learned from previous study with Mr. Johnson.
His direct, yet gentle, approach to applying the paint is poetry in motion. He proves that even the most commonly available objects can be arranged and painted as a composition of entrancing beauty. The oleander flowers were taken from a scrubby bush behind the studio, the pears from the grocery, the pitcher from a find in an antique shop, and the rug from a flea market.

Pears on Oriental Rug. What a master. Absolutely love watching every stroke. Thank you.
Robert Johnson what a master. Pleasure to watch every stroke. Thanks,
Excellent job, very much instructive, fun to watch. Highly recommended. Jeffrey V.
This is a perfect oil painting video. He gives explicit information concerning brushes, the paints he uses are shown in detail, and his strokes are also highly visible. More instruction by this man should be made available. He is articulate and a joy to watch. I only wish both could have been shown on one disk because he really doesn't get into painting the rug until the 2nd one.
I loved the DVD and would definitely recommend it to my friends
