|  Gregg Kreutz Oil Demonstrations: "THE ART OF STILL LIFE PAINTING" (115 Minutes, Oil) DVD
Gregg Kreutz Oil Demonstrations: "THE ART OF STILL LIFE PAINTING" (115 Minutes, Oil). Gregg Kreutz works through the process of setting up the painting to completion. Gregg refers to this as a four-step process: placement, background, shadow and light. With this method, he knows exactly how he is going to develop this painting. Kreutz has superb teaching methods. He talks about each step, mentions every combination of color, explains what he is doing & why.
Gregg Kreutz talks about filling air, about casting shadows, edges, the punch of color and the thickness of light. His is a very complex setup. The glow, which surrounds the fruit bowl, is extraordinary, as is his application of paint to fruit, to glass, to wine bottle, to metal bowl. Even the table cloth comes vividly alive. Gregg shows how to start and finish a painting.

Gregg Kruetz Biography:
When Gregg Kreutz received his B.A. in English from N.Y.U. in 1970, he, like all good English majors, set out on a career path completely unrelated to what he had been studying. Namely music. He joined a band, learned to play the bass guitar (in a way) and because this was an era when record companies were willing to take a chance on extreme long shots, made an album for Atlantic Records. Ultimately though, Kreutz had to face the fact that to be really successful in the music business, it's probably a good idea to have some sort of musical ability. Kreutz had always loved painting and drawing and so he decided to shift gears and seriously explore his artistic potential. He enrolled at the Art Students League and after two years of study there with such luminaries as David Leffel, Frank Mason, and Robert Hale, felt he was ready to leave class and set out on his own and become a professional bicycle messenger.
He was married by now with a baby on the way, and delivering packages by bicycle didn't seem that fulfilling or even that profitable. Kreutz started looking around at other options. Since portraiture was something he was interested in, a friend suggested he go up to Provincetown, Massachusetts and become a sidewalk portrait artist for tourists. And since working with tourists is every man's dream, he started packing.
A few days before heading on up, though, he was delivering a package across town and as he was crossing 40th and 5th he ran into David Leffel (not literally). He told Leffel of his decision to go to Provincetown and Leffel said, "Don't do it. Sign up for the Washington Square Outdoor Art show instead". Which Kreutz did and ended up winning Best in Show and selling a lot of painting and getting into a gallery and just generally jump starting things in terms of becoming a full time painter. The moral was clear; when you have a difficult life dilemma, run into David Leffel (not literally).
And so began what was to become an exciting and fulfilling career for me (oops, I mean Kreutz) in the painting industry.

We would recommend Burt Silverman's BREAKING THE RULES in oil. This is the demonstration he did with his friend Wes. In it, Burt resizes the figure. He rubs the oil paint on the canvas and draw with a pencil. He does the most unusual things very easily all the time keeping up a continual monologue about the process. He makes you feel so comfortable with the idea of using paint and the way he uses it is the same for oil, pastel or watercolor. It doesn't matter what you use.

Retail Price: $79.00 | | BURTON SILVERMAN Video: Painting the Figure, Teresa (105 minutes, Watercolor)
In this videotape, the viewer has the opportunity to experience the extraordinary technical mastery of this artist. Burt is both controversial and candid as he unravels the secrets of his watercolor techniques. The video has everything, from taping down the paper through the corrections of the design down to the last stroke on the model’s fingers. He uses careful design, wonderful and unusual color and some very new and different methods to get the affect of the light and modeling that he desires. Burt uses brushes and paper towels to erase, big mop brushes and cross strokes to color large areas and pencil or charcoal to correct. Silverman explains everything as he paints. We recommend it for watercolorists and oil painters alike.
