Hi There,

The excitement and unpredictable, nature of watercolor has captivated me for over 30 years. With SplashingPAINT I pass on a way of painting that lets you work WITH what is happening on the paper. Not wrestling against it and trying to be in control all the time.

The act of painting becomes a two way process. You observe, adjust and respond, becoming totally immersed in the painting unfolding in front of you.

This process allows the painting to become a living, growing thing with a life and character of its own. Not something tight, lifeless and contrived.

If you want to get more fun and satisfaction from your painting, then SplashingPAINT is for you!

A complaint I hear from students all the time is that they feel stuck with their painting. They have reached a certain level and can't seem to improve or move on.

They are not sure which way to go or what to do. I went through the same dilemmas and wished there was a book or DVD that would help me advance.

SplashingPAINT not only delivers a wealth of practical instruction, but also gives you encouragement, inspiration and ideas. It will move you on to a more competent and professional level and keep you improving

SplashingPAINT is the result of 18 months painting, filming, editing, re editing, scripting, tweaking and adjusting.

I didn't stop until I was absolutely satisfied that what I had would deliver the very best painting instruction available. Something I know will get results.

Feedback has been fantastic and I know you will enjoy splashing paint.

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, return the DVD within 30 days and I will give you a full refund.

Kind Regards
