Write a reviewThank you for giving me the opportunity of reviewing this Item. I was very disappointed. June Mendoza is obviously a great portrait artist, but she is far from being a good art teacher. The DVD is really 'Watch me paint'. The disc is full of apologies. This disc is not for those who want to learn about Portraiture. Not worth the money.
Great DVD by a great portraitist.
