PhotoPainting & Portraiture Online Class

February 22nd, 2010 lvs Posted in In The Spotlight | No Comments »

I have heard people say “I can’t paint, not even a straight line”. The great news is Corel has provided the Painter Software that will enable the most amateur artist to paint beautiful, painterly masterpieces. I’m delighted to help you learn this. However, like all painting and drawing, it does require lots of patience and practice. Once you’ve been bitten by the PhotoPainting bug you won’t want to stop!

This online course is the first of three in PhotoPainting & Portraiture classes. You start with the basics; a simple clone then on to painting Still Life, Landscapes and Portraits by making application of Painter’s brushes, textures and other applications and much more.

Each week you are given an image and step by step instruction to transform a photograph into a lovely, painterly image. You are then requested to paint your own. Do not feel daunted by this. Once you have painted a few photographs, it will be more or less … easier!

I do request that you have completed Painter Brushes I & II before commencing PhotoPainting & Portraiture unless you are an experienced user of Painter then this will not apply to you. The Painter Brushes classes give you a well rounded introduction to all aspects of Corel Painter and an in-depth study of Painter’s Brushes and many techniques.

This is an exciting and challenging art to pursue, one of which I’m sure you are going to enjoy. So, come and sign up for a class and learn how to PhotoPaint.

Maureen Eves-Lavis is the PhotoPainting & Portraiture online class instructor. She also teaches the Introduction to Corel Painter Brushes I & 2 and The Art of Collage with Corel Painter online classes.
