John,
I think your "Splashing Paint" DVD is
excellent.....very different from any other painting DVD or Video that
have seen, as it is far more instructive.
Other DVD/Videos I have seen have been more of a demo with comments on the process.
I liked the way it was divided up too....very clear. I really liked it!

The Bottom Line
If you're new to
painting, you'll find the step-by-step demos easy to
understand and encouraging to attempt. If you're an
experienced painter wanting to work in a looser
style, you'll see techniques to emulate. If you're
feeling jaded, it will be hard not to feel inspired
to paint again as Lovett takes such obvious pleasure
in what he's doing and sharing.

John:
Nice job on the DVD! It's wonderful to watch you work... I love your loose style and the way you use that old raggedy bristle brush!

Dear John,
The new DVD provides enormous inspiration and has certainly
given me encouragement to keep trying! There are new areas to explore answering questions
one can forget to ask
The DVD has helped me see many aspects with a fresh approach again....
Thank you, and again, tremendously inspirational...

Hi
There,
The
excitement and unpredictable, nature of watercolor
has captivated me for over 30 years. With SplashingPAINT
I pass on a way of painting that lets you work WITH
what is happening on the paper. not wrestling against it
and trying to be in control all the time.
The
act of painting becomes a two way process. You observe,
adjust and respond, becoming totally immersed in the
painting unfolding in front of you.
This
process allows the painting to become a living, growing
thing with a life and character of its own. Not
something tight, lifeless and contrived.
If
you want to get more fun and satisfaction from your
painting, then SplashingPAINT is for you!
A complaint I hear from students all
the time is that they feel stuck with their painting. They have
reached a certain level and can't seem to improve or move on.
They are not sure which way to go or what to do. I went through the
same dilemmas and wished there was a book or DVD that would
help me advance.
SplashingPAINT
not only delivers a wealth of practical instruction, but
also gives you encouragement, inspiration and ideas. It
will move you on to a more competent and professional
level and keep you improving
SplashingPAINT is the result of 18 months painting, filming, editing, re
editing, scripting, tweaking and adjusting.
I didn't stop until I was absolutely satisfied that what I had
would deliver the very best painting instruction available.
Something I know will get results.
Feedback
has been fantastic and I know you will enjoy splashing paint.
If
for any reason you are not completely satisfied, return the DVD
within 30 days and I will give you a full refund.
Kind
Regards
