I was thinking about buying, and trying, some sumi brushes as a way to loosen up during figure drawing sessions. I Googled "figure sumi brush" (images search) and the cover of the DVD was on the second page. The image on the cover caught my eye so I played the preview. Your website was listed so I took a look at your work; which is fantastic.
I purchased your "Art is an Attitude" DVD. I truly enjoy it, the music and all the lessons. It is very informative and helpful. Your DVD addresses two current drawing goals of mine.......(1) be loose, and 2) know when to stop. I appreciate your comments on the DVD on these two topics.  Thanks!

Re: Creative Breakout: The Art of Freedom:

The new DVD is terrific and really such a delightful way of introducing the newcomer to abstract painting and to have some fun with it also.  And color, color which is wonderful. I don't know how many DVD's are out there for abstract painting but I am quite sure that this one is unique...
