I passed on buying this course for so long, even though it intrigued me, simply because of the short length and the age of the recording. When the promotional discount made it more palatable, I stopped avoiding it. I'm happy I did. After a short introduction the instructor gets right to the instruction and paints the piece in real time, explaining in detail as he goes The course is not short. It is well paced and efficient. I'm glad I finally took the dive. It's a good addition to my library.
