Well, painting is the last thing that I wanted to do and the only reason I purchased this DVD was to have my wife watch it so she could paint the kitchen herself. I hate painting!! After watching the DVD with her, we both were able to work together and completely finish the job from start to finish, in a single afternoon.
If you are not a professional painter, I would highly recommend this DVD.

This review is from: Weekend Painter's DVD. How to Paint Like a Pro! (DVD)
This video has plenty of practical painting tips, but it really shines in its laser-like focus on brush and roller technique, along with a brief but effective spackling demo. You'll never learn this stuff from books; it is best learned by seeing it done, in real time, by a pro. But you won't find many professionals with the time or patience to explain exactly what they are doing every step of the way. That is just what you get from this DVD. To help you develop your skills, the narrator shows a series of exercises you can do right at your own "job site".
Another reviewer complained that not enough time is spent on topics such as types of paint. For the most part, such topics are more suitable for books and online text. In fact, there is no shortage of written material on these topics, and I don't think they would benefit from a video treatment. On the other hand, the DVD's producer has selected those painting practices that are better demonstrated rather than described. I can't tell you how many times I have read about loading a brush properly, painting up to a line, backrolling, and so on. But it never really clicked for me until I saw these things done on the DVD. Throughout the DVD, you'll hear the narrator use the term "nailing it", in reference to a task perfectly completed. For me, the DVD itself nails the job of teaching the most important painting techniques. Unless you've already mastered these techniques, or you have access to a kindly expert, you will learn things here that you just can't find anywhere else.
