Watch David A Leffel paint a portrait of fellow artist Zhiwei Tu to completion without interruption. Tu’s wife Danni spontaneously captured this historical moment from start to finish, creating a unique DVD that is not a demonstration but rare footage of the last painting done in his old studio in Taos before remodeling.

Except for a brief introduction to set the stage, David does not answer any questions or speak about the process; the painting speaks for itself. 1 Hour, 15 minutes.
