**K-bot** · January 7th, 2009, 02:44 AM

It was sooooooooooooooo good, I cant wait for part II. Also, what kind of board/canvas is he painting on? What was the actual time spent? I also wish we could have seen a time lapse of the drawing process.

Now I know how he does it...

Just downloaded mine. Can't wait to watch it! (I'm at work so I may have to wait till I get home tonight...darn).

**squidmonk3j** · January 7th, 2009, 04:13 PM

this is simply fantastic.

"...as i'm telling the story of the edge of this coat".

thank you so much

**Craig D** · January 7th, 2009, 04:44 PM

Tons of good info,
production values and sound good overall. Very good when he is actually painting, acceptable to good when he's talking (when it dousn't matter so much, I thought it was a bit dark but that could be just me).

Whatever medium you use is irrelevant, the info on value and colour temperature selection is invaluable.

**BAMartin** · January 7th, 2009, 09:10 PM

Fantastic!
Just finished watching this, There IS a lot of great info - including mentioning about the need for a professional attitude regarding clients. That's something that's often overlooked.

Thanks again for this,
Looking forward to part two already!

inspiring stuff.
As always... very engaging.

**BAMartin** · January 8th, 2009, 11:39 PM

BTW, any estimate on when the 2nd part will be released?

**Darktwin** · January 9th, 2009, 04:46 AM

great download, awesome process and wonderful words of wisdom, loved the history lesson at the end of the first session regarding art and ninjas, wonderful insight. Definitely looking forward to the second download.

**Takkik** · January 9th, 2009, 01:45 PM

Great stuff. Just one thing: Could be great to add a second video with just a speeded process with no audio like somes other release, so you can just focus on the master painting

**thelefthand** · January 9th, 2009, 02:04 PM

I love this one! This is a great download. Thank you both Greg Manchess and Massive DVD for providing this!

**MassiveDVD** · January 9th, 2009, 02:09 PM

BAMartin: The plan is early next week.

Takkik: We're trying to be a bit more focused on budgets and release times these days but I'll inquire about it.

**BAMartin** · January 9th, 2009, 06:01 PM

Excellent, thanx!!

**snootchy** · January 10th, 2009, 02:54 PM

much thanks to massive black and CA.org for this superb release!
And HUGE props to Greg Manchess!!!

man this just made my year, felt i could really relate to the ninja and art discussion; all this time i thought i was just crazy in the head!

**MarkWinters** · January 10th, 2009, 03:24 PM

Greg's the best. He makes it all look so easy! Insightful and inspirational. Great download. Kudos to everyone involved!

**Form** · January 10th, 2009, 10:19 PM

crazy wisdom represent greg

keep turning that wheel!

**The Lone Gunman** · January 11th, 2009, 03:36 AM

This is an amazing download. Great info. I saw him at Revelations and ever since I've been hooked. Great work Greg, I'm really inspired by your work.

**Rist** · January 11th, 2009, 08:58 AM

Anyone else suffering from slow download speeds?

**buzzz3d** · January 12th, 2009, 07:29 AM

Great stuff. He's an amazing painter and the info provided is very useful.
Took about 3 hours to download but it was well worth it. It looks like he's painting on unstretched canvas or linnen is that right?
Can't wait for part 2.

**Manchess** · January 16th, 2009, 02:24 AM

Hey ALL! Fascinating....that as I paint a picture in Oregon, it's seen around the world.

Thanks so much for all of your great comments! I am honored. (bowing head) You guys make me want to do some more of this theme. I gotta tell you: I had such a good time doing this video. HUGE thanks to Arrow for her marvelous and comforting direction! And also for taking out all of my "uh's" & "umm's" while I was trying to talk and paint at the same time. You made me sound....uh, normal.

Also thanks to Massive Black for letting me indulge. Let's make a string of these! Maybe I can paint an entire book under the camera.....

And to everyone watching the vid: KEEP GOING! If you pay attention as you work, you'll find a point at which you WILL get much, much better.

- Agreed! That would be great to watch a whole book come together.

**BAMartin** · January 17th, 2009, 06:42 PM

I'll add my vote / wish for a whole series!!

**Jaku** · January 18th, 2009, 04:43 AM

That would be more than awesome

**Noah Bradley** · January 19th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Great video. And yeah, I'd love to have a bunch of these.

**ManaBurn** · January 20th, 2009, 08:31 AM

I would definitely purchase more of these if MB took the time to produce them. I'm still floored that Greg would take time out of his day to do just one. It would be a tremendous boon for us all if we could have even more.
