This instructional tape on DVD, shows a figure painting within the context oflarger environment - the way Quang approaches most of his figurative works.  It also focuses on the visual approach called "local tone" (one of the eight visual approaches he teaches in the "Nuts and Bolts" DVD) - which is entirely different from the "Light and Shadow" DVD.  This "visual approach" focuses of the richness of tones or values as the foundation for building the structure rather than form or light and shadow effects talked about in the "Painting the Still-life" video.  Degas, Van Gogh, Fechin, Diebenkorn, are some of the artists who worked regularly in this method.
