In Optimizing the Studio Experience oil artist Andy Braitman takes the viewer through the eight stages of producing a painting in his Charlotte, NC studio. Filmed before a live student audience, this DVD is not so much a standard "step-by-step" teaching presentation as it is a real-life "ride-along" with a successful working artist. Primarily a landscape artist, Braitman engagingly describes his painting process from beginning to end and works the detail information about brushes, colors, composition and technique into 5 distinct stages.
After the "wrap-up", the viewer can forward the DVD into the bonus section that features an enlightening group discussion. During this portion, Andy answers questions in detail about his color mixing, his push/pull brush technique and compositional directives. Andy Braitman's instruction skews to the intermediate and advanced student and is not one that you will watch once and file away.
