I am a beginner and bought the first dvd called Paints the Landscape. There is a lot of great information for an artist of my level. My only problem is that the landscape painting is not completed in the video. She tells you to buy the second dvd to learn how to put on more layers. That was a bummer for me. Oh well, I checked out the completed painting on her website, then had more fun finishing my painting. I will probably watch and paint along with this video at least a couple more times.
