I really love Julie's style. She's upbeat and fun to watch and listen to. She is very clear in her directions and easy to follow. I loved this video for the innovative ideas for using all sorts of mixed media supplies. Great ideas for preparing backgrounds to use for art projects.
I ordered this dvd based on customer reviews and I was not disappointed! The information was delivered in such a clear, concise and entertaining way, it made you want to watch more. She presented basic info and instruction for beginners, but always offered additional ideas and options to her more experienced viewers. The only negative I could find was that the dvd was simply not long enough...I could have watched for three more hours! A wonderful purchase.
This is by far the best DVD I have ever bought. Julie's presentation style is fun and very straight forward. I love this DVD. Each time I've seen Julie on TV she makes everything seem do-able. Please, please, please ask her to make more DVD's. She is witty, funny and very easy to follow.
I am not a beginner and I did find a few tips that have really opened some possibilities for my collage. I particularly liked that the instructor explained the properties of as well as some uses for her favorite textile media. I like her drop cloth idea...I am now doing that myself. And I like what she did with transparencies. She is very upbeat and enthusiastic...make sure that you can handle fast movement and high energy before purchasing. I also want to note that the film crew did something that I would like to see more often...they gave us students some camera shots from the instructor's perspective quite often. I sometimes have a hard time when the camera is facing the instructor..it can be awkward...I appreciate the extra professionalism presented here by the camera crew.
Great ideas, wonderfully inspiring, superb guidance on materials! I really enjoyed seeing the progress of a project from start to finish, including information on drying times, etc. between the phases. Balzer's enthusiasm and energy make me want to get busy! Very user-friendly, casual, beautiful and colorful projects.
