Town House Films Watercolour: The Wesson Way with Steve Hall

Makes doing watercolor well a reachable goal. Simplify .Limited pallets . Limited brushes. Steve Hall does a commendable job translating the Wesson style.

I'm a bit disappointed with the production of this video. I don't know who's to blame, the cameraman, the director, or the editor. Steve Hall does a commendable job. His demos are fresh and quite nice and do justice to Edward Wesson's style of painting. Hall does talk a lot, but it is informative talk, not just chatter. If it were only for Hall, I would give five stars.My main gripe is too many of the camera's angles are shot from the backside of Hall's easel, facing him standing there painting. When the camera is focused on the paper and not him, most of the shot's are good, with a few exceptions... In many of the demos, for some reason, the camera is placed over Hall's right shoulder and you see only the back of his right hand as he paints, not the brush actually touching the paper, which makes it impossible to see the brush stroke he is talking about as he applies it.Town House Film produces many art teaching films and is listed as one of the UK's leading production companies, so I don't know how these small, but important errors got passed them.
