Virginia Cobb Acrylic Abstract Painting: The Evolving Image DVD, price 49.95 US dollars from www.ccpvideos.com
In this fascinating video, Virginia Cobb paints three abstract paintings in acrylic. Seeing the paintings physically evolve is only part of this DVD, for it is in listening to Virginia speak about the process that is instructional of itself. Watch Virginia layer colour, take it off, texture it, paint over bits she does not like and finish not one but three paintings.
I loved this DVD. I admire Virginia’s work, she has a wonderful character. I learned so much from watching her paint. It’s all about understanding your medium, being open to possibilities, learning to look afresh and the most fun of it all – exploration. I would recommend this DVD to anyone interested in abstract art. It is suitable for all skill levels – there is always something to learn, a different way to see things, a new approach.
