We've just finished the editing of a new DVD by William Schneider, winner of many competitive awards. It's unusual because its focus is on one of the most difficult aspects that any painter faces...design & composition. Many painters have the "right stuff" when it comes to technique and painting ability, but have difficulty in creating original works of art because of the challenges that original design and composition create.

This DVD provides some excellent information and instruction on how one can achieve placement, value and color balance using tools that may or may not be well known to you, such as:

- Dominant Color / Harmony / Discords
- Munsell Color System
- Loomis Basic Value Schemes
- Aristides "Armature" of the rectangle
- Root rectangles
- Mucha's Ratio System
- Edgar Payne "Stems"

Schneider also provides examples of masterworks and explains how they have used the design systems mentioned above during the composition and design of these paintings.

While this DVD is essential for those who have learned the craft of painting and are now on the road to creating their own, personal artistic compositions, it is sure to be useful to those who are also more experienced. Providing information that you have not yet been exposed to in your painting career, William Schneider's Design Secrets gives you an opportunity for improving your own compositions.

This DVD does include a short oil painting demo of a still life setup, but it is done only as an example of the design and compositional elements referenced throughout the DVD, and is not intended to be a "finished" work.
