     Creating Textures in Pen & Ink with Watercolour with Claudia Nice -- DVD

    This is a two DVD set.  It contains the same material as the Video Tapes.   The combination of the boldness of pen and ink, the subtle qualities of watercolor and the creation of texture are only as limited as your imagination.

    Part I --  Follow Claudia as she expertly demonstrates a range of textural techniques such as contour lines in a smooth onion, jagged and smooth rocks with cross hatching and a velverty African violet with stippling to name a few.  You'll understand the bold contrast of light and dark tones, before the entire pen and ink skills are brought together in a dramatic seascape with watercolor.

    Part II --  You'll learn how to create criss-cross lines for soft fur, wavy lines that imitate wood grain and even how a kitchen sponge can be used to make a pebbly beach.  Brush techniques are introduced to create clouds and for a grand finale, Claudia combines all of the techniques learnt into a beautiful painting of a soft and gentle cat.

    143 Minutes total running time.  The two part DVD (includes BOTH VHS tapes on Creating Textures) is $58.25 for Insured Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.  If you are out of the US, please contact for shipping costs.
