with Robert Maniscalco

The Power of Positive Painting™ instructional video (now on DVD) has been a real success story. (See below for more information on the original P3 video) Robert has received plenty of feedback over the years since he first published the Power of Positive Painting™ back in 1995, all of which he has taken to heart. Overwhelmingly, viewers appreciated his practical, concrete, informative and energetic approach to portraiture.

Great news! Robert has put all that great feedback, insight and subsequent teaching experience into the creation of the much anticipated follow up DVD, called The Portrait; a value-based painting system.

The new DVD, from Liliedahl Video Productions, is even more comprehensive than the first, much more down to business. Robert's focus is on breaking down the fundamentals for the viewer, the ones many teachers tend to gloss over or skip altogether. He also gets into the nuances of handling the brush and executing and recognizing the master-stroke. There's a section on what to do when you get into a drawing jam. In the new DVD there is more explanation about the advantages of mixing and using the Power Palette. Other bonus features allow you to take in as much or as little information as you're ready to hear, when you're ready to hear it. For instance, Robert has packed everything he knows about a successful portrait career into the bonus feature, "Being a professional portrait artist today." Beginner and advanced students have expressed that they have come away with renewed confidence and a practical, step-by-step approach for completing a portrait after viewing the new DVD. This comprehensive DVD also includes several great bonus selections:
  Mixing the Power Palette
  Being a professional portrait
    artist today
  The three cube adventure
  Background and theories of the
    P3
method

Getting right to the point...I recently purchased your new portrait dvd from Liliedahl Fine Art. I really enjoyed your palette information and decided to try it on a painting I have just started. While I've been exposed to something similar, I think you have come up with an amazingly straightforward, logical and creative system of laying out a palette. I have studied with a number of national portrait artists who are excellent teachers, all of whom talk about value and laying out colors according to values, but this system amazed me. Once I took the time to lay out all the paint, I painted twice as fast, found workable color mixes I had never tried before, and came out with glowing color. I did add some favorite colors to the palette that you do not mention, but I thought this was a negligible difference, since I still laid them down according to the principles you set out in your dvd. This painting is much further along than I anticipated at this time and I am very happy with the result. So I must say thank you and express a rave review for your system -- which I'm sure you've heard many times before, but I felt compelled to write! Please add me to your email list. Thank much...Carolyn McDade

Greetings Robert: I just viewed your video "The Portrait A Value-Based Painting System". I am so glad to own this video. I can't say how surprised I am. It is just so insightful. I'm hoping to purchase more if they are offered. . .Angie Stewart

Robert's step-by-step method demystifies the art of portrait painting. "I'm finding more and more artists who would like to be able to master honest observational skills — they want the power to paint what they see," says Robert. The P3 Method™ is a continuation of the teachings of Frank Reilly, who's emphasis on the effective use of values to create form laid the foundation for many of today's most successful artists. Regardless of your subject or style, whether you're a beginner or a professional, now this simple concrete method is available to you! The information packed P3 Painting Video can be yours for only $69.95 $49.00 (see special limited time Internet offer below).

Robert's painting demonstrations and workshops have been very well received in New Orleans, Tupelo, and Detroit with several more currently planned in California, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida (See Classes, Workshops for current schedule). The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently purchased the P3 Video for sale in their gift shop!
