An Excellent Presentation

Exciting to purchase this video presentation of Daniel Greene's pastel portrait of "Jim". Daniel clearly and methodically goes through the physical aspects of soft pastels and how they are produced and shaped. He also explains everything an artist needs to know about the qualities and characteristics that this media has and the way it behaves on different paper and gesso surfaces which he also demonstrates. He goes through the drawing and rendering process of his subject and talks the viewer through his thought process while he creates his wonderful portrait. The angle and view of his subject for the viewers benefit is very well done and informing. Highly recommended.
