Amazon Verified Purchase
I originally joined an evening class for beginners watercolour painting and ended up in a classroom full of accomplished painters who treated the class like a weekly club; I lasted about two weeks before leaving.
As I had bought all the equipment and did not want to waste it, I then purchased this excellent five hour DVD set for beginners. The 12 programmes were originally shown on television and are collected together in these three DVD's. The Titles of the DVD's are 'Beautiful Landscapes', 'Still Life' and 'By The Sea' and are all available separately.
I would highly recommend this DVD set for a beginner in watercolour painting, partly because it is cheaper than buying each disk separately or going along the Alwin Cranshaw route, as he assumes you have got to the intermediate stage and know what he is talking about, but mainly because of Frank's easy manner and 'let's have some fun' attidude to painting, assuming that you are a beginner and not to worry if you make a hash of it.

I think simply paining is a good guide for the beginner.
Some other similar products omit very important details for the novice such as what colours are being used and how mixed and may also contain annoying cuts that are just at the wrong time.
Some people may not find his presentation style to there taste however Frank does show exactly how to produce a painting from start to finish in real time so you can paint along with him with no confusion.

These are excellent dvd's only problem is they are re-releases of his TV series that he made over 10 years ago and have been released again on dvd by another company under a different cover- so be aware you may end up with duplicates just like I did.
