5.0 out of 5 stars Watercolor Wow!, August 2, 2006

By	Colleen Gianatiempo "Graphic Artist" (Martinez, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Dance of Watercolor: Beginners and Beyond (DVD)

Where else can you listen to Jazz and learn the basics of watercolor? Julie Cohn's CD is an uplifting, easy to learn and follow instructional DVD. In no time, you can learn techniques and apply them and create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind landscape painting. I also found the "extra" drawing tips, exercises and quick reference so valueable and helpful. My daughter (age 6) was learning along with me. We really enjoyed the slide show during dinner too! I have been painting watercolor for 10 years and learned more from this DVD and Julie Cohn than I have in any other class I have taken. This DVD is a must own!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but useful, May 29, 2007

By	RSTJA "RA" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dance of Watercolor: Beginners and Beyond (DVD)

Let me start by saying I'm a beginner at watercolor painting. I've taken some lessons, and read many books, but I got to a point where there was something missing. What makes this DVD special, is the method of combining the degree of wetness of the paint with the degree of wetness of the paper. It sounds simple, but when you get it right, the paint really does dance. Once I realized what Ms. Cohn was saying, it totally changed the results I was getting. There is some stuff on color mixing and other odds and ends that are covered again and again elsewhere, but she had to put it in for completeness. This DVD was well worth the cost. I don't like the style of painting in the DVD, but the technique was great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to follow, June 19, 2006

By	Dennis W. Diestler "CARE CEO" (Redding, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Dance of Watercolor: Beginners and Beyond (DVD)

I had no art experience. I am having a blast with Julie's easy to follow instuctions. On the other hand my wife has taken several art classes. She is much more advanced,and has found Julie's instructions to be extremely beneficial. One of the major benefits is that you can keep going back to a concept that would be hard to do in a typical class setting.
Thank you Julie!!
