4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Teacher, June 5, 2008

By	A. Brearley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I borrowed this tape from our library and it is a very good learning source. Tony Couch is an excellent teacher and employs a style that can be copied by students at all levels. I have only been painting for less than 1 year but have been able to follow his instructions and am starting to "get it". The title was a little misleading for me. I thought he was going to show various ways to paint water, rocks, and trees but it is actually 1 full demo painting containing each of these elements. This painting is a bit more confusing that in the other Couch videos I have seen but he tells the viewer what he is trying to do at every step so the insight into his process is worth more than just duplicating this 1 painting. Tony is very good at demonstrating moisture & value control. The presentation, editing, and audio in this tape are generally good and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Tony's painting style.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT LESSONS, but fast paced, January 26, 2008

By	silky69 "beautiful world" - See all my reviews

My local library had 3 videos by Tony Couch and this was one of them. Tony Couch studied under Edgar Whitney. Couch paints quite fast and talks a little fast. This video is great to watch and learn from, and I love the way Tony adds splashes of bright color to his paintings to liven it up. In this video, he teaches a lot about painting rocks and how to convey rough water among the stream rocks, and also you will learn about painting trees. It's a great video, but I might see if it's at the library before I paid $20-30 dollars for it. I watched it about 4 times,and each time I got something new out of it.
