Laurin McCracken: Watercolor Realism - Glass & Wood

Since the Dutch masters are my favorite artists, it was a simple decision to order this video. The instruction and tips are so helpful , color choices and techniques spot on, resulting in a treasure for the viewer. I look forward to attempting another reflective glass image. Thank you , Lauren, for your expertise.

I painted along with Lauren at the first Watercolor Live. He painted silver. Much to my amazement his work was advertised in the flight magazine I read while flying to Arkansas. The painting I did with him is one of my better attempts. Thank you Lauren and Eric Rhoads for the your presentation in Watercolor Live. I'm certain this would be well worth it.

I purchased this video after seeing a portion of it on Facebook and finding that informative. The video is more than 5 hours long and chock full of detailed information. The video is very clear, meaning that as Laurin paints, the work and how he paints is in clear view and unobstructed. He explains everything he is doing. I've purchased other videos from another source that didn't offer half as much information. I've learned so much, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another video. I do wish that it didn't start at the beginning of the video each time I start it, and that I could watch it offline. I can live with those things though!

I have been fortunate to study under Laurin twice and I will tell you this...if you study this DVD you will finish light years ahead if you are a realism watercolorist. Laurin has a great reputation as a decorated artist with many awards and prestigious positions and he really try's to pass on as much knowledge about the medium as he can. He's a Blessing to aspiring artists and to the medium as well. So buy this and you'll not be disappointed!

I was very excited to receive a digital copy of Laurin Mc Crackens training video on his Watercolour techniques for Still Life Paintings. It was all that was offered and more.
I watched it in part several times and then used his advice to set up my own composition and photoshoot for reference images to use to learn Laurin's techiniques. His generosity with his knowledge and experience was impressive and I learnt so much from his careful measured explanations and demonstrations. I highly recommend Laurin's course it is awesome.
