That is a very cool site, Jeff, and not one I'd ever seen. Thanks a lot -- you've wiped out my next raise (assuming I get off the Forum and back to work and get a raise.)

The depth and breadth of the wealth of video/DVD instruction, at full or rental prices, is more than any of us could have dreamed of, only a few years ago.

And you're right -- there's nothing like "seeing it done." No matter how many of these presentations I collect, I'll never let go of my first Helen Van Wyk demos. I watched one the other night, for about the 20th time but for the first time in years, and everybody reading this would be 20-60% better at painting if they could just internalize what she offers in only one of her tapes (which I had converted to DVDs, for longevity).

She also spreads a LOT of paint around. I'm so grateful she kept making those videos, the last ones even while she suffered from cancer. She was doing that out of pure love, not for money.
