This art instruction video for intermediate to advanced artists is packed with bonuses. George James covers a range of topics, including what makes a painting an artistic expression; art as communication; creating mystery with darks; design considerations for communicating your personal statement or metaphor into your art; and numerous YUPO painting techniques you can apply to your work. This video will help take your painting to the next level. Bonus Chapters (72 min.) include: * Zones * The Grid * Point of View * Exchange * Linking * Drawing with Shapes * Schematic Drawing * Acrylics on Yupo * George James Gallery * George James Book About the Master's Series Workshops are chosen to be part of the MASTER'S SERIES based on their exceptionally high design and thinking content. While providing a more in-depth view of technique, it also provides the instructor an opportunity to share the foundation of thought upon which their style and content are built. Technique still plays an important role, but it is no longer the “stand alone” dominant aspect of the workshop. MASTER'S SERIES workshops provide students the opportunity to understand the design, thought and feeling that goes into making a successful piece of art.

CCP, you did it again! Where do I begin. This DVD is amazing--starting from George James the artist, and all the way to CCP's technical production of this master class. Great camera work, too.

When I saw the running time of this complete DVD, I was delighted! This DVD covers drawing techniques, use of color, glazing, airbrush, a thorough design and structural lesson--plus so much more. I was so touched and absolutely loved listening to George James share a little of his personal past experiences as he demonstrated drawing from memory which resulted in the creation of a beautiful piece entitled, "The Music Lesson." An incredible artist and excellent teacher. When does his next DVD come out?!!

"Designing for Content" is a wonderful mix of philosophy an methodology, existential truth and practical application.

I really appreciated seeing George demonstrate his obvious mastery of the medium while at the same time revealing a truly childlike journey through the process. His delight at "happy accidents" and his telling excitement are contagious. I was torn between watching the action on the screen and a desire to rush to my studio, my watercolors and a fresh sheet of Yupo.

This is a DVD I will watch again and again. George James has a gentle, encouraging spirit and he knows how to teach. I want more.
