Great job on the steelhead. Ours here in central Idaho are a little darker. I'm not a fish guy, as of now, but plan on taking Ricks course in the near future. I can only hope my steely will turn out as well. Again....Great job.

Hey Stan,
I just heard back from Joe and they are still in the editing process from what I gather. I will ask Joe to make a point of updating as they come available. Thanks again.

I know everyone is anxious to see the DVD's with Rick but it is no small process. Filming them was the easy part. To edit them correctly is a lot of work, thus probably why this kind of thing is not readily available on the market. The DVD's with Tony Finazzo are just being printed now after months of editing, but as you will, it is well worth it. These will all be a reference that will cherished and referred back to over and over. When i get a chance, I will post a couple of fish I have painted since I started the filming. These are not after watching what was filmed, just what rubbed off from watching. It has made a difference in my work by osmosis, people that study and pay attention to what is being shown, will definitely make a difference in their work. Just the simple way Rick sets eyes as well as paints them, will change your quality. Easily to follow, and good close ups will make these well worth the money as well as the time to view them. Please be patient, I know all to well that that is not easy at times. Will keep the net posted as to the progress of these reference DVD's!
