Doug Farrick DVD on Oil Pinting Tools and Supplies make it worth while to purchase because he is knowlegable on the different supplies and the chemicals he also guide you into becoming more familiar with the solvents and mediums. He shows the beginning novice a better understanding on using oil supplies. I would recommend this dvd to anyone that is thinking about becoming an oil painter.

Great Oil Painting Tools Information, February 14, 2010
This review is from: An Introductory Guide to Oil Painting Tools and Supplies (DVD)
This DVD is a great overview of materials for the beginner oil painter as well as great nuggets of info for experienced painters. With so many art supplies available on the market, it's hard to know what supplies do what and why. The DVD helps clarify the variety of materials used during the painting process along with information about how different supplies work. As an experienced oil painter, I discovered information on things I didn't know about along with clarification of things that I only had a cursory knowledge of. Wish I had had this around when I first started oil painting! Would have saved me a lot of time, trouble, and confusion. I look forward to more videos and hope they come out soon.

Great introduction to oil painting materials, January 28, 2011
This review is from: An Introductory Guide to Oil Painting Tools and Supplies (DVD)
For people wanting to get their feet wet in oil painting for the first time, whether you are a novice to art or experienced in some other medium, I highly recommend this recording to watch first before diving in and buying materials. Also, maybe experienced oil painters might learn something new! This will help you make smart decisions, because knowing what to buy up front will both save you money and also put you on a more direct path to making a successful painting.
Doug does a terrific job of carefully explaining all material choices. He covers brushes that work best with oils, the various choices in paints and what to look for, solvents, mediums, canvas, etc. Its essential to understand your materials first before you begin oil painting because they are a major investment. And, a total novice would have no clue what to buy as the choices can be overwhelming and confusing. Also, very importantly, Doug covers safety issues you need to know before you oil paint. Its amazing how many oil painting references leave this information out! So, this contains essential information for understanding oil painting materials and how to handle them. Thanks Doug for doing this!! More videos please!!
