5.0 out of 5 stars The best what you can get, November 19, 2006

By	D. Joa (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some time ago when I started with watercolors I discovered Susan Harrison-Tustain's book "Glorious Garden Flowers in watercolor" (also available here on Amazon). I was blown away, at first by her great paintings and then of course, how she showed and explained, that I could do it, too! She is a great artist and a great teacher, so I was looking forward to get her DVD. This DVD is simply wonderful. You can see, how to paint a wonderful rose in watercolor from beginning to the end, which palettes Susan uses, how to stretch paper. There is an apple-study, another study of a beautiful lily, she shows different backgrounds, how to get a velvet look, how to paint dewdrops, she shows how to paint lost and found edges and so on. You really see, how she paints and she explains every step with a lot of tips. A wonderful thing is also her gallery, where you can see many of her wonderful paintings and there is also a slide show. To look at her gallery and hearing the music on the DVD in the background, you feel as you were in a magic world. This DVD is easy to manage with going from chapter to chapter. Susan Harrison-Tustain loves to share all about watercolor, what she knows. This DVD is a "Must have it", you will learn all, what you want to know about watercolor, and this from one of the best artists, which I know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, I found what I wanted in watercolor, July 5, 2007

By	Nigel S. Siva (Bowie, Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great DVD Set (of 2 DVD's). The artist, Ms. Susan Harrison-Tustain, clearly explains the reasons for doing every step (like stretching the paper and priming the area to be painted with water, etc.), and demonstrates her techniques explicitly without hiding anything as trade secrets, which shows that she is a genuine master painter. A beginner can learn a lot from this DVD than reading from many books. The difficult thing in watercolor is to correct mistakes. She explains how to avoid mistakes in the first place and also shows how to correct mistakes like hard edges. I thank her for creating this DVD Set.
