Would you rather wait for the whole DVD to be finished?

You don't have to wait...

If you buy chapters 1-6 on DVD now for $60 you can purchase the final dvd (chapters 1-8) when it's finished in April 2010 and only pay the difference ($20) in April.

How does that work? I'll let you know by email when the final dvd is ready and then you just return my email letting me know that you would like to purchase the final dvd and pay the difference.

Buying it now means you can be working on it now with the other people in the painter's group on my blog and be ready to advance when the final chapters are released.

"I must congratulate you on your series about colour. As you know I have been down the road for many years and I am still learning, and always will. You are approaching the matter out of a completely different angle to all the others I have seen and learned from. Absolutely brilliant! You have really put a tremendous amount of effort and energy into it."
