On my DVDs I take a little more time explaining things.
The complete set of DVDs will have you busy for months, at least, they hold the information that you will need to learn to paint fluently and from then on you should be confident enough to make up, or copy, your own arrangements.
‘Spring Chicken’ – I’m 70 now and pottering, some days ‘call my Silverster’ but other days I can not remember where I’m at.
Hi Len,I enjoy your painting style. It seems to me that there is more material on your Dvd’s than on the online downloads? How can I get all of the painting tutorial material you think would be helpful to me as novice/intermediate hobby painter.my guess is to order the two elementary DVD’s and the pack of six more advanced tutorials does this cover all I would find helpful? Thanks Len. PS When does one cease being a ‘spring chicken’?
Thankyou Len,
I have followed along with the lessons and to my amazement I have produced some wonderful paintings that I am proud to hang on my walls. Family and friends are amazed at my art work and I tell them all thanks to Len Hend I can paint and be proud of the out come..thankyou again Len you have given me the best gift anyone can give..
Cheers Mel..
Len, I’m following your videos and they taught me a tremendous amount of stuff. Working fast, double loading brushes. Now painting is a breeze, it’s relaxing and twice as productive!
Yes – I have never used gesso, I use acrylic primer.
Cheers
Hello Len!
Thank you for sharing so much…I’ve found this site incredibly helpful and informative.
I have a question about preparing a raw canvas: Is it possible to use interior/exterior acrylic wall primer in place of gesso?
Thanks again!
If you mean canvas – prepared artist canvas – ready to paint on in oil or acrylic.
what’s your type of screen, looks role?
Dear Mr. Len, I’ve been to our web site soo much just taking in all that you have to offer. I finally got my nerve up and painted my first piece last night. I had so much fun. My pictures didn’t come out perfect, but that’s what practice is for. I also discovered paint brushes do matter. I went out and bought a better fan brush and a round hog bristle brush and a larger tube of paint. I got up early this morning to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and look forward to painting more. I hope to be able to purchase your videos in the near future. I haven’t been this excited about anything in so long, thank you!
Mr. Len. Allah has bestowed you with great art. I am a beginner and your tutorials helped me a lot. I have already ordered your tutorial DVD set. Just waiting for that. May God give you best of both the worlds with Iman, inshallah. Ameen
