ENCOURAGING
AND MOTIVATING - by Jane Smith
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.

This DVD has tremendous instructional value. Not only do you
watch a wonderful artist creating
beautiful work, but the filming and production is such high quality
you'll feel like you are in the
studio working with
her on every step and technique. You'll be glad you get this one!
WILL
THERE BE MORE VIDEO'S? - by Jennifer Nichols
I have the "Orchid" video and just LOVE it! Yours is
the best one I have on how to paint
flowers. I love your other flower paintings also and am wondering when
and if you'll be
coming out with
another video.
Thanks .... beautiful work!
VIBRANT
ORCHID - Madeline
I want to thank you and Creative Catalyst for producing the
"Vibrant Orchid" CD...it is the
absolute best level of quality...the very BEST. The reason I know is
because I also just
purchased a video from another artist and it is so out of focus and
blurry, not to mention
that the lighting was atrocious and no zooming in close where you
could actually see how
the watercolor pigment was actually being applied to the paper
surface. It is actually
worthless.Your work is gorgeous and the style of your presentation is
wonderful. I am so
thrilled with this CD and I hope you and CCP produce another please.
Seeing this one
makes me want more, I really feel like I have gained so much knowledge
and confidence
from this CD, it is so
far and above any other I have had before.
Thanks so much,
Madeline
FABULOUS
– SuSan
I just wanted to share with you how fabulous the
Ann Pember video that I just completed was. I have purchased so many
videos on watercolor that I believe I am an expert. I recently had my
teenage daughter sell all my videos on eBay. Most of the videos I
purchased were from very well known artists and you would recognize
the names. Ann's video was absolutely perfect and hers is the one I
will keep. I loved the way the painting was completed and the camera
stayed on every stroke so we could see the complete process. All the
written material at the side was perfect along with the view of the
palette. This is the most sophisticated video I have seen. I really
felt at the completion that I really learned a lot. In the past I have
purchased watercolor videos for the same price and they have only been
15 minutes, certainly not 110 minutes. Terrible. I think you did a
great job and I hope you produce a lot more videos of Ann's in the
future.
Thank you. SuSan
