I really appreciate his generous instructional videos. They are great. I purchased his portrait demo video, available from his website. I think I will purchase his newly released figure painting demo video soon. That will be my Christmas present this year.

In 2006 Scott moved with his wife to Connecticut, where they continue to reside with their son and many pets. Waddell divides his time between painting portraits, fine-art narratives, and teaching at The Grand Central Academy of Art.
