I remember the Sara Moon prints from when I was a young teen in the early 80s. In fact I had a couple posters myself, though long lost now. How exciting to see Sara Moon art on DeviantArt!
I'm so excited to find Sara Moon's work! My mum owns a beautiful portrait that's been displayed in our home since I can remember. I would love to buy one of his permed-haired beauties for her one day- they look just like my mum 
What a delightful surprise to find you on deviantART, I had the "Black Fury" poster
hanging on my wall as a teenager in the early 1980's.
I've been a long time admirer of Sara Moon's work and am very excited to see his
work displayed here.
Please give my best wishes to Bijan.

Hello. Firstly, thank you so much for all the lovely things you said about the art of Sara Moon, it is always so gratifying to know how such works move people. On the matter of a video tutorial, I'm sorry to say, I just don't see this happening because Bijan (Sara Moon) is retired now and only paints casually for his love of his art these days. He also speaks very little English and has no computer skills whatsoever. That's why I volunteer my time to help him and his fans keep in touch and enable folks to buy artworks where ever possible, such as here on Devient Art.
Sincere best wishes and I will pass your message on when next we meet.

Hi Linn,
All of Bijan's published artworks were created using live models, often they would sit for him and he would continue the work in their absence using photos taken during the sitting. Most of Bijan's art is oil on canvas. He usually paints the whole canvas in a light base colour (usually white of course) and then allows this to dry. He then plans the artwork on the canvas in light pencil strokes and later applies layers of oil thinned with specialist art oil thinners (easily available). Brush sizes vary, but most often he will use the kind of sable brushes mostly used for water colours and thin acrylics - often long, thick and pointed. He tells me there are no hard and fast rules and he uses whatever he thinks will give him the result he is looking for.
Bijan is also a real master of colour pencils and pastels and you will see many examples of this around his galleries too.
Bijan trained as a textile designer in Germany and was very successful with his designs in his home country of Tehran, before returning to Germany to paint as 'Sara Moon'. You can see his natural eye for flowing designs coming through quite often in early hair styles and backgrounds etc.
Bijan has been a serious painter since his early teens and you will find a few of his early works on this Sara Moon Web site page (about half way down):

His inspiration has always been the 'romance' so often captured in his work.
Hoping this helps and that Bijan's work continues to inspire you as it inspired me back in the 1970's. You will see how Bijan's work inspired my own art by taking a quick look around my site too: [link] - Bijan loves to look at my art and sees that influence there for sure.
Good luck and happy painting!
John.
