The
Power of Positive Painting
instructional video (now on DVD) has been
a real success story. (See below for more
information on the original P3 video) Robert
has received plenty of feedback over the years
since he first published the Power of Positive
Painting back in 1995, all of which
he has taken to heart. Overwhelmingly, viewers
appreciated his practical, concrete, informative
and energetic approach to portraiture.
Great
news! Robert has
put all that great feedback, insight and subsequent
teaching experience into the creation of the
much anticipated follow
up DVD, called The
Portrait; a value-based
painting system.
|
The
new DVD, from Liliedahl Video Productions,
is even more comprehensive than the first,
much more down to business. Robert's
focus is on breaking down the fundamentals
for the viewer, the ones many teachers tend
to gloss over or skip altogether. He also
gets into the nuances of handling the brush
and executing and recognizing the master-stroke.
There's a section on what to do when you get
into a drawing jam. In the new DVD there is
more explanation about the advantages of mixing
and using the Power Palette. Other bonus features
allow you to take in as much or as little
information as you're ready to hear, when
you're ready to hear it. For instance, Robert
has packed everything he knows about a successful
portrait career into the bonus feature, "Being
a professional portrait artist today."
Beginner and advanced students have expressed
that they have come away with renewed confidence
and a practical, step-by-step approach for
completing a portrait after viewing the new
DVD. This comprehensive DVD also includes
several great bonus selections:
Mixing the Power Palette
Being a professional portrait
artist today

Getting
right to the point...I recently purchased your
new portrait dvd from Liliedahl Fine Art. I really
enjoyed your palette information and decided to
try it on a painting I have just started. While
I've been exposed to something similar, I think
you have come up with an amazingly straightforward,
logical and creative system of laying out a palette.
I have studied with a number of national portrait
artists who are excellent teachers, all of whom
talk about value and laying out colors according
to values, but this system amazed me. Once I took
the time to lay out all the paint, I painted twice
as fast, found workable color mixes I had never
tried before, and came out with glowing color.
I did add some favorite colors to the palette
that you do not mention, but I thought this was
a negligible difference, since I still laid them
down according to the principles you set out in
your dvd. This painting is much further along
than I anticipated at this time and I am very
happy with the result. So I must say thank you
and express a rave review for your system -- which
I'm sure you've heard many times before, but I
felt compelled to write! Please add me to your
email list. Thank much...Carolyn McDade

The Original P3 Instructional Painting
Video

The
Power of Positive Painting© video
(now
on DVD too!) is an entertaining, user-friendly,
highly informative instructional painting video, covering
everything from developing an effective drawing and
under painting, to mixing rich luminous flesh tones,
to completing a finished portrait. Robert's step-by-step
method demystifies the art of portrait painting. "I'm
finding more and more artists who would like to be able
to master honest observational skills they want
the power to paint what they see," says Robert. The
P3 Method is a continuation of the teachings of
Frank Reilly, who's emphasis on the effective use of
values to create form laid the foundation for many of
today's most successful artists. Regardless of your
subject or style, whether you're a beginner or a professional,
now this simple concrete method is available to you!

Robert's painting demonstrations and workshops have

Detroit with several more currently planned in California,
North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida
(See Classes, Workshops

Museum of Art recently purchased the P3 Video for
sale in their gift shop! Here are a couple
of the many positive comments coming from those who
have purchased the painting video or participated

recent participant comments:
"I am so pleased with the improvement in my painting
that was visible immediately as a result of Robert's
instructional painting video. You do the critiques
so candidly and without allowing personalities to
effect your comments. I will certainly recommend you
and your workshops whenever possible." Brenda
Delle
"I absolutely got my money's worth! Now I know I can
paint a face and all the parts will be in the right place! Painting
the P3 way is a lot of fun!" Caroline Goodman
