Oil Painting - Quick Studies in Oil by Craig Nelson
Quick Studies in Oil by Craig Nelson - by Lucinda Knowlton from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Excellent DVD for beginners learning to paint Quick Studies.
Craig’s DVD is excellent for any new artist that paints with oil paints.I've some painting experience and really picked up alot from it. I like seeing how he creates form with so few brushstrokes. It's a really good learn tool.

He is just superb! - by Judy M. from Virginia
I just wanted to let you know how thorougly pleased I am with your videos! I have all of Craig Nelson's videos and I have learned more from watching and listening to him than from all of the workshops combined that I have taken over the years. He is truly one of the rare instructors/artists who can teach as well as demonstrate. I am able to follow his thought processes as well as his brush strokes. He is just superb!
Very Impressed - by John A Daly from Australia.
Have just viewed my second Craig Nelson DVD: "Quick Studies in under an hour". Very impressed. I enjoyed his book" 60 minutes to better painting" so I shouldn't have been surprised. I've been painting now for over 10 years and liked his constant talking about first principles, use of brush, studying and painting shapes rather than getting "caught up" with detail. The progression from the rough (but accurate) sketch to form/colour mass and finally hilights is the essence of effective oil painting and this film stresses those principles. Terrific learning film for a beginner but also of value to the experienced painter as a reminder of first principles.
Well filmed, good production. Highly recommended.
I liked it - by J. Ottersbach from Ohio
I liked it a lot! Good camera shots, very useful info, liked inserts! I would like a video on landscape painting, done in your same style!
Delighted - by (Dr) John A. Daly from Downunder
Hi from downunder. Thought you would appreciate knowing that your cd "Quck Studies:Oil painting from Life" by Craig Nelson has arrived here. I've just viewed it and am delighted with it. If you'd like a testimonial statement then I would be happy to provide it. The view "over the shoulder of the artist" is excellent as are the simultaneous images of model and palette. I assume his "Quick Studies" is available on DVD? While I am beyond the beginner stage it may be of value to complement his book. Again well done and thanks from "downunder".
Excellent! - by Don Osman from Prescott Valley, AZ
The best instructional video I've seen. But of course I haven't seen too many. But I will definately order more.
I highly recommend this video. - by Janet Warrick from unspecified
I just finished watching Craig Nelson's "Quick Studies" video for the third time. Each time I get more out of it - what a great help to those of us who have fallen through the art school cracks! I would love to see another video by him focusing on composition and the fundamentals of great art - not for beginners, but for intermediate to advanced painters who want to push their work to a higher level. Craig's down-to-earth teaching style makes it easy to understand just what he is trying to say. I highly recommend this video.
I LOVED IT! - by Trish Byerly from Falls Church, VA
I LOVED IT! What a brilliant teacher and brilliant artist...It was exciting, extremely instructive and Full of knowledge and inspiration...You answered all the questions that I had and so many I didn't know I had.
Wealth of Information - by Bill Rhea from unspecified
This an excellent video containing a wealth of information
for any level of painter. In addition, it avoids the tedium of other
instructional videos with solid editing and multiple camera angles.
Or...
This is just like painting with Craig minus the smell - just kidding.
Easy to understand ... - by Sherry Chien, Graduate Student, Academy of Art College from San
Francisco, CA
I feel this video is easy to understand. The picture in picture that shows the palette and photo at the same time made me feel like I was watching a live demonstration. The out takes at the end were entertaining and seemed more like a movie, rather than just an instructional video.

DVD - Oil - COLOR MOVES, Painting Water with Oils with Caroline Jasper
Will teach you everything! - by Adele G. from unspecified
Caroline will teach you everything you've ever wanted (or needed) to know about color theory and ways to make your hues come alive.
I Agree -- A Must Have - by Bill Yelenak from Marion, CT
I thoroughly enjoyed Caroline's Color Moves - Painting with Oils. Caroline shares her unique painting technique and theory with clarity. I have seen numerous painting instruction videos, and this one is truly outstanding. I was surprised how much information can be burned on a DVD. I am looking forward to her next one on painting landscapes.
a must have! - by Rita Pacheco from Lake Elsinore, CA
I recently ordered Caroline Jasper’s “Color Moves-Painting Water with Oils”, and I am so pleased! Having enjoyed two of her workshops in Pasadena, CA., I found myself wanting to spend more time asking her questions and watching her paint. On top of being an excellent instructor, Caroline shares her wealth of knowledge unselfishly, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Seemingly interested in the comfort level of each student, she keeps her students motivated by taking interest and encouraging individual style. With my busy schedule and tight budget, I can’t always afford time away for a workshop. This artist’s video workshop was exactly what I needed to have! Caroline’s demonstrations were informative and easy to understand. I’m looking forward to her next D.V.D. on painting landscapes on red ground!

Color Moves - by Marlene K. from Mission Viejo, Ca.
Great DVD! I took Caroline Jasper's workshop in Burbank last year and love her way of teaching. She makes it so easy and so UNstressful! Really makes you believe "you can do it!" This DVD is presented just the way she teaches and makes it all possible! Thank you Caroline!
Keep them coming!
I love it! - by Danielle C. from Lewes, DE
I recently purchased and viewed “Color Moves” by Caroline Jasper, and I have to say I love it! For someone like me that paints, but has had no formal training, the workshop is simple, so informative, and inspiring. I can’t wait for her next one!”
