This forum looked like the best place to ask this.

Can anyone give me an opinion on Daniel Greene's videos? I'm looking into buying the portrait drawing video, but I don't know what to expect, since I haven't seen any of his other ones.

I've only seen a few art instruction videos (they're expensive, so I've never bought one). Some were good. There was one video that claimed to be about portrait painting, but was actually about painting a "plausible head", not capturing a likeness. I would have been very upset if I had paid $75 for it (an art supply house had it for rent).

Daniel Greene is known as a teacher, and the finished works that, presumably, were painted on camera are very high quality. I'm guessing it's worth the investment.

I'm looking at the one on drawing a portrait. I think it's his latest. I tried to borrow a copy through the inter-library loan system, but no luck.

Any reviews?
