Before I started the painting, I found it overwhelming when I saw the DVD.

I love the Flemish Method.

It helped me with dark's and lights in the painting. I found it very gratifying when I was done with the painting.

I still have to work out the corks. I feel it has made me a better painter.

Delmus' videos help me so very much. It is and outstanding video. If you want to be a better painter this is the method for you.

Delmus, thank you for share this outstanding learning yellow rose video. I have posted, the ink, Amber, gray scale, and finished oil painting.

Again Delmus thank you very very much.

Barbara,

Thank you for the kind words and endorsement of the DVD.

It truly is amazing how folks find their passion, and bring it to life with this method of oil painting. By having steps to follow, it really does make things simpler in a very complex world.

Your painting is indeed beautiful and the colors are amazing. I am sure it is even better in real life as it already appears to glow from these photos.

I'm sure we will be seeing more of your fabulous work!

Thank you for taking the time to firstly, photograph your progress. This takes time and I'm grateful you thought to do it. And secondly, to take the trouble to post the photo's and comment about the work.

This is such a help to beginners to see the progress of how a true, long lasting work of art is done. Something very, very few schools teach anymore.

Best wishes,
Delmus
