Art As A Statement In Our Individual Worlds!
Can you believe what a teenager and his/her art can do?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Introducing Three New Landscape DVDs From Darrell
We’re pleased to announce three new painting projects.
Joe is our film editor this time around while Atif is visiting Europe and Bengledesh.
Look over the three new painting lessons on DVDs we’re introducing today. And then check out our one time special offer below. And we’re donating a good portion of the revenues from introduction to help an art student this summer.
Addressing A Couple of Questions
I love to answer questions….and we got a few this past week.
1. When will the kids Acrylics version ship.
Not fast enough, I’m afraid. They’re all filmed and just awaiting Atif’s magical editing touch when he returns from his European/Asia 3-week trip with his father. Just the two of them out traveling. Looks like the 23rd right now. Now remember, there’s no additional cost for these four DVDs. We believe they’re important enough to be included as a lot of children’s facilities do not allow the use of oil painting products on their premises. At your own home you can do whatever you’d like.

No Need To Clean My Brushes In Odorless Turp, Ever.
Hi darrell– I recieved the dvd set I ordered from you! Thanks for all the information. I havea quick question. When I go to store my brushes, I do use baby oil prior to putting them away. When I go to use them in the future, do I need to clean them with paint thinner prior to use or can I just start painting again–PLease reply k–LOREN
Loren, As you know, I clean my brushes with baby oil, the same as you.
After a good day of painting, I do a final cleaning of the brushes with clean baby oil. I clean the brush thoroughly, bezting lzrge brushes dry and wiping smzall brushes dry with paper towels.
Then I set the brushes down for storage.
The next time I paint, the brushes are ready for me. No need to clean them in odorless turp ever.

My Paint Is Soft And Muuuuushy!
Don B recently wrote me and asked ….
The paint is actually not hard but soft with oil on top. Making it mushy to paint with. What can I do to harden the ……. paint?
Michael, You Can Do It!
Hi, about a month ago I sent Mr Crow an email asking about postage to Australia as i was very interested in his dvds and was not sure about a couple of things. I also told him of my son Michael who is in a wheelchair and does not talk or walk but he loves trees and colours. I wanted to learn to paint so I could do it with him by holding his hand. …. Mr crow please accept this as my very personal thank you. P.S I do hope you have a speedy recovery. kindest Regards Raelene S. from Australia.
Michael, I’ve been in a wheelchair all year long and I’m not sure when I’ll be out. I hope soon as I just underwent an operation at the end of May. My doctors are optimistic that I’ll walk in July sometime.
I’m not at all sure what its like being you, or facing the difficulties you’ve had.
But let me say one thing.
You can do anything you want to.
As long as you’re willing to do your best, utilize all your energies, you’ll be surprised by what you can accomplish.
God Bless and Great Painting, Michael
Darrell
