I purchased this the day it showed up. I've only recently started following Mr. Sweets career and I'm really impressed by it so when I saw this I had to give it a try. I'm very glad I did. Mr. Sweet makes beautiful art, hands down.
Posted July 26, 2008 - 07:21amThis video shows a wonderful artists "process" that confirms to old teaching adage about starting a work in the realm of the abstract and formless and gradually sculpting out your image as you go. I must say, I've never seen that process of abstraction to evocative completion done so well and so effortlessly. This is a great teaching resource. Many beginners shoot right for realism from the first pen or brush stroke, but you can indeed pull realism from the abstract. This video will show you how easily that is done. Watch carefully, Mr. Sweet does it almost like a magic trick. And that my friends, is art.
If I had a neg comment it would only be that this should be an hour for ten bucks and Mr. Sweet should be narrating it as he goes. That would make it truly competitive in this art DL market thing, and also for selfish reasons, we just get MORE. Because this is so good, more is what you want when you see it
Bravo! more please.
