User Testimonials
“I love it. It’s all I had hoped for and more. Excellent video quality I might add. And entertaining as well!”
~ Bonnie B., Avalon, New Jersey
“Awesome DVD! This is the one I’ve been waiting for. What a great job of taking the viewer through the entire process of adding paint to the printed digital image. Every step is covered in good detail from the initial treatment of the image to protect the inks, through the choice of paint and painting tools, right through the stretching the canvas and framing. This DVD is brilliant. I’ve already recommended it to my students. Thanks for letting us in on your process.”
~ Ella Putney Carlson, Dunstable, Massachusetts
“I just wanted to send you a note telling how incredibly useful your DVD was to me. Chock full of all those things that one needs to know but no one tells you; especially if, like me, one is not an artist in the traditional sense and one does not have any formal art education. I am having a ball and I am embellishing every chance I get; which is usually into the wee hours of the night. Thank you for your well thought out, highly instructional, and very enjoyable DVD. I am anxiously awaiting the next.”

“I am so inspired by the demonstrations of post print painting "the Sutton way" 🙂 that I am busy adding acrylic paint to my featured artist pieces, and what a difference that makes. Thanks for the inspiration.”
~ Henk Dawson, Redmond, Washington
“Your DVD is great. I have previously used a tutorial of yours on post painting in Painter magazine and have been experimenting for a couple of years but jotted down 21 new ideas (from your latest DVD) to try. Watching you mix and apply paint was very valuable. Thank you for a job well done.”

“Thank you so very much. I had an opportunity to watch the DVD last night, LOVED IT!! Your work and explanation process I truly enjoy, you have a gift. Today I worked within Painter for what I hope to be my first attempt of Post-Print Painting. As you said: have fun, and do something simply for yourself. So, that’s what I did. I can not thank you enough.”
