## Description

Two Workshops for One Price Renowned painter Sharon Sprung imparts incomparable lessons in creating the illusion of life. Working with a light box, she explains how light illumines form; she defines basic terms like mid-tone, highlight, cast shadow, etc, as well as chroma, value, temperature, and hue. Showing you how to see in values, she imparts helpful tips so that you can readily translate value into color. Setting out her palette, Sprung then describes the properties of each color. Finally, she shows you exactly how she mixes colors in order to create a vast range of lifelike flesh tones.Building on the previous lesson on value and color, Sharon Sprung explains how different brushes are useful for creating lifelike effects. Working with light and shadow, she shows you how to paint an eye, nose, and mouth.Pointing to a painting in process, she explains how she puts all these elements together. Finally, she turns her attention to a finished painting and analyzes the relationships between light and form, value and color.Runtime 78 Minutes

    Great presentation on a complex subject
  

*by T***  on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2011*

Many artists these days are so concerned about "toxicity" they routinely wear surgical gloves and here we have Susan Sprung slathering paints (even cadmium!) directly on her own skin in order to make her major points....it's radical, refreshing and oh so New York. I learned a lot watching this, and I think it will take several viewings to really absorb (pun intended) the nuance of it all.  After she explains and mixes flesh for us she eventually paints some body "pieces" for us (eye, nose and mouth). Helpful, to be sure, but the ending demonstration leaves us feeling that we got an abbreviation. An entire face or figure demonstration would have resulted in five stars instead of four. If you paint figures, however, this is definitely worth your time.

    Oil Paint - Skin Tone instruction
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2010*

I am an artist who does portraiture. I occasionally like to review "art instruction" videos and books. So many of what is offered is so bad that it frightens me to think someone might try to emulate someone else's "Bad Art". I am always interested in another artist palette so I purchased this DVD. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! Not only is Sharron Sprung an excellent artist she is also a good teacher. (Not every good artist is a good teacher and unfortunately many good teachers are BAD at Art)I have watched this video several times and I have actually CHANGED MY Palette following her suggestion. (I also purchased the brand of oil paint she suggests). I only wish she had more instructional videos available. If she did I would certainly purchase them. If you paint human skin you really should purchase this DVD.

    Informative and clear
  

*by S***6 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2010*

I love Sharon Sprung's paintings and was very interested in what colors she uses and how she mixes her paints. I picked up a few useful tips. I do wish the second part of the tape had more detail about how she develops a  portrait. I was a bit disappointed in the second part because I was expecting a painting demo of her actually painting a portrait in stages, but she only showed a painting near the beginning, and then showed a final product. The first part of the DVD was more specific,and she explains things very clearly.
