Nancy Boren: Light, Motion & Drama

What an informative amazing class! The minute I saw Nancy's work I was in love and it was what convinced me to try oil painting and add that to my body of work. Her techniques are so helpful and she is such a wonderful teacher in the way she explains things! I especially appreciate how she keeps reminding you to create in a way that makes you happy- I realize that might seem obvious but as artists I don't think we can have those reminders enough! Nancy you so much for this amazing class!

Color, Light, and Soul

Fabulous from start to finish great tips with lighting, setting up the model, ideas with starting, re-starting, changing things during your process, keeps your interest throughout the painting process and great commentary at end of painting demo with more ideas for artists to use for inspiration. Would appeal to artists of all levels of oil painting. Flow of video was similar to the flow of her brush!

Honest and sincere opinion.

Nancy Boren's video on Light, Motion and Drama was my first one to watch and have no comparison material to judge by. Having said that, I have of course an opinion on what I think an interesting video should be like. In the beginning Nancy comes across as if she doesn't really know what she is going to talk about or do and her first drawings on the canvas also give that impression. After a while she progresses more quickly and finally after some more talk she starts the painting. Having watched for quite some time I started to become more interested as she showed what and why she is painting the way she does. Overall, the painting is lovely, her style is something I can relate to but the lengthy process becomes quite boring and at the end I couldn't watch it any longer. She talks too much about the details and honestly my patience started to run out. My advice to her would be: cut the whole video time in half! Also, going so many times over so many parts of the painting makes me wonder the necessity of it. 3/4 through the process I really thought it finished. I was beautiful! After continuing longer fidgeting a bit here and there it didn't improve the painting at all (in my humble opinion that is). Nancy: make it shorter, lots of painting, lots less talk.
