“I am an 86 year old pastel pencil artist from Denbigh, a little town in North Wales and I am writing to give you feedback on your DVDs. I have watched a lot of art DVDs and I can honestly say that yours are the best that I have ever seen.
The attention to detail is fantastic and they are worth every penny of the price. As regards to future DVDs I would imagine that fur will be the most popular, and while I would certainly buy that one my personal preference would be for one on Portraiture with Winston Churchill as the subject. That would make my day. I am also a great fan of Chopin, the greatest composer for the piano, ever since I heard Jose Irturbi playing the Fantasie Impromptu about 60 years ago. Pastel art and Chopins music are the two great things in my life especialy since I lost my wife four years ago. Im sorry if I am going on a bit but I must end by saying how touched I was with your thoughts on your father. Eric your DVD wasn’t just about art . It was a lesson on life and how to live it. It should be compulsory
viewing to all young people. Looking forward to your next one. All the best.”

“A superb master class in pastel painting! One thing that I felt came over very strongly was Eric’s genuine dedication to giving of his best to the work. His attention to detail is second to none and every step is clearly explained in both practical and aesthetic terms. The subject also allows for a very wide range of textures to be demonstrated and each is treated with great care and attention. This is a video workshop to watch again and again and has certainly had a positive effect on my own pastel work.”

“Your video is amazing. It is helping me in great deal. I would also like to suggest you do complete short videos about realistic fur, eyes, foliage, skies, landscape etc. I would definitely buy them. ”

“Having watched all 5 DVD’s this weekend, I want to thank you so much for such an inspiring insight into the work of a real master of his art. I feel privileged to have been able to watch your method of painting pastel from start to finish of your painting. It was extremely helpful to me to be able to watch how you work all the way through to the end of the painting.It is also very helpful to be told about the materials you use - the Clairefontaine Pastelmat is something I will buy to begin with.
Your captions were very helpful and inspiring - I too love Beethoven! The DVD’s are a great resource for me as I can refer to them whenever I want. I am so glad that you produced them.”

“I started watching the DVD’s today. I’m about an hour in, and you’re still touching up the sky. Your work has such depth, such detail, such ... life. You give me something to strive for, and the DVD gives me a way to achieve it. Thank you.”

“Received the DvD’s today and have manged to watch the first two.I cant wait to try out some of your methods ! Fantastic to watch and learn this way!.”

“I’m loving the DVDs!! Still only on the second one but totally inspired, amazing music to accompany them is inspirational in itself as well as your words! Would love a big cat or horse one! :)”

“The DVD’s came today and I have watched them all now although it took all afternoon! An excellent set of DVD’s which I thoroughly enjoyed. I like the way it shows the whole process which others never seem to do.”

“I find it amazing and very instructive. In addition to the lightness of touch amazes me the amount of colors and steps that you do to get what you want, it’s really wonderful to see you work. This morning in the peace and silence I watched the first of 5 dvd, it’s wonderful! The construction of the sky and the clouds was excited and I was enchanted to look at your hands, you used many colors and the final effect is amazing.Now I have to look at the other dvd but I will do forever in peace and silence in order to pay the utmost attention. You did an excellent job and your education is complete, I’m sure this DVD will have great success.”

“I’m watching the DVD of Eric and I’m speechless ... simply amazing!! ... he slowly teaches every detail, you can almost touch the elephant’s skin. Absolutely brilliant Eric, many thanks for the work you’ve done, it’s a wonderful DVD. I am learning a lot already .... since yesterday evening I’m glued in front of the screen. Thanks Eric.”

“I seem to relive those moments where we had honored to have him live! for me this DVD is worth gold! .. Thanks Eric!.”

“The DVD’s have arrived, I am on the second one and wanted to say I am absolutely delighted with the way you are presenting the material. Can’t stay on here got to get back to the DVD! :O)”

“The fifth DVD made me cry, there is so much poetry and love in this work of Eric, it’s not only art but is the soul of a man transported in colors and shapes. I had the privilege to know Eric a little more and it’s hard to explain that I try watching him paint and reading what he writes, he is a teacher, he is a poet and everything a true artist and a great man should be. I will never cease to say I am really lucky”

“I just love your entire presentation. You made me realize, that even the most miniscule step in executing a painting, is of utmost importance. You are amazing. Such a skill, you paint with your heart. There is so much feeling . All that is also projected upon the viewer. Personally, this is exactly what I needed to work towards becoming a better artist. You gave me the tools to work with. Thank you so much for such great education, its like receiving a most wonderful gift for life.”
