Instruction videos made by Jo:
The following video is a shortened version of how to paint a still life in acrylics. It is for sale as one of Jo's Notions. You can see it here.
The next video is about painting a trio of saguaro paintings. This painting is sold and in a private collection in Albuquerque.
This next video shows how a 5 x 7 inch pastel painting was started, wiped off and done over. It is available in Jo's Notions.
Watch this video to see how Jo fastens her surface to a board so that she can paint to the edges with no problems.
This is a sketching video. It does not have any instruction but gives you an idea about how Jo sketches. It is in real time. Jo sketches free hand and quickly to practice her "eye" for painting. It is good to be able to look and put down the line quickly and correctly. You can see more of her sketches and learn more about her techniques on her blog.
