Watercolour Magic

Catching Mr. Cornin doing his magic on YouTube, I knew I had to purchase his DVD. The moment the DVD started it's just not the same as watching his videos on YouTube. The features on the DVD such as Zoom, Slow Motion, and  Stop Action lend important tools for following Mr. Cronin's brushstrokes. Each time I view the DVD I learn something new. I would suggest perusing all six watercolour paintings at first. The magic is all in the brushstrokes.  It's easy to understand, and listening to the voice-over by this Englishman is a pure delight. In my opinion, the DVD has something to offer not only to the beginning watercolorist, but to the intermediate painter, and expert artisan as well. I rate this DVD 5 out of five stars.
