VIDEO DETAILS: “PAINTING IN THE FLOW OF WATERCOLOR On High Plate Illustration Board”
 “Morning Vision” demonstrates Ann’s technique of painting on a smooth surface; using Strathmore 500 series, 5 ply, High Plate Illustration Board.

Ann captures diaphanous lighting on a mountain stream using a variety of techniques to convey water, rocks and deep woods. She creates a design from two reference photos, capturing the energy of the subject. Using only five colors and two brushes, Ann methodically paints each area in sections, creating the different textures of moss covered rocks, deep woods, moving water currents and spray, by using the smooth surface of the board in different ways. She sprays water into passages at just the right the time, softens edges and creates transitions. Elements and adjustments are easily lifted out as needed. A section about materials and techniques is included. Ann's technique may change the way you paint in watercolor!  Approx. 110 min

ENCOURAGING AND MOTIVATING  -  by Jane
Ann Pember's explicit guidance by talking through her thought process while taking the viewer
Step-by-step, make this DVD one for beginner or advanced painter. Limited palette, few
brushes and easy techniques produce a successful watercolor within a painter's grasp as well
as take some of the apprehension out of the medium. Close-ups followed by distance shots
shows us the importance of stepping back regularly to see how the shapes work in the whole
picture. It is definitely an encouraging and motivating teaching video to own.
I rate this DVD a 5.

WOW!   -  Bill Little
Dear Ann,
Not often that I have a busy weekend, but this one is.  Had only enough time to watch a bit of
 your DVD, but wanted to let you know it arrived and thank you for the quick service. My
intention was to watch 3 or 4 minutes this morning since I knew I didn't have time to watch it
all.  Fifty minutes later my wife had to tear me away from the TV.  My only comment to this point
is WOW!     More later, Bill

I've now gone through the DVD a couple times and have actually started throwing some paint
on illustration board.  I liken it to watching Tiger Woods on TV and then going to the golf course. 
Not as easy as it looks.  But I'm going to put forth a good effort and am optimistic within reason.
I've had over 20 years of formal education and would be embarrassed to tell you how many
instructional videos I have.  The only reason I mention that is to let you know I'm somewhat
familiar with what I think makes a good teacher. You really have an excellent presentation and
the DVD is better than any I've seen before. The technical quality of the picture and sound is
perfect.  And you motivate, which is what I feel is the most important quality of a good
teacher.  I like the "picture in a picture" showing your palette and how you're handling the
paint.  Right now I'm trying to walk through the painting and follow along on the DVD.  My
results are not so good yet, but I know I can improve a lot with the instruction contained on the
DVD.   Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the world.
….Bill

  MY CONFIDENCE IS SOARING! - Brent
“Just a quick note to express my excitement after studying your "Painting In the Flow of
Watercolor, DVD. I sat down in my studio and completed my first "good" watercolor.  I'm a
graphic designer and have dabbled in watercolor for the last few years but now I'm hooked
and really excited. Your tips and pointers were invaluable and I'm finally happy with a
watercolor that I have created and there will be many more to come. Softening the edges and
spritzing the toothbrush turned my first waterfall scene on the Strathmore plate into a fairly
good composition.  I still have much to learn, but my confidence is soaring. Thank you so much
for sharing your talent so that others like myself canlearn.”
