Course Description
Join me as we begin this wonderful journey called collage!
The meaning “Collage” is a diverse composition of elements. The traditional approach we cut and glued various materials, such as paper, cloth, organic material like leaves and wood, onto a surface and created the collage. But now we have Painter where we can more easily combine diverse elements on the digital canvas with great flexibility.
Just as we give thought to our finished paintings we will apply a similar process to create our collage. We will work to evoke emotion and response in our finishes collages. They will be personal to use, yet tell the story to the viewer.

Course DescriptionCorel Painter is an easy-to-use ultimate natural media painting program that lets you simulate real world art material. The goals of this class, besides having lots of fun, will be to learn about the major features of the interface, explore the names, basic functions, “ideal usage and main controls for each of Painters tools.” It is my hope that you will feel very “painterly” by the end of this course and will be creating masterful artwork!
Painter is pixel-based, which means you can use it to create digital paintings that look just like they were created on canvas, watercolor paper, textured paper, etc., using watercolors, pencils, acrylics, oils and many, many other media choices. This is where the real fun happens in Painter! You have probably seen paintings created in Painter on the Internet, and most likely you have (like me) been stunned by the spectacular work. No matter how brilliant these works are, remember that there is no trick to doing great images! Stop looking for the hidden button or tool that will make your images look fantastic — it doesn’t exist. If you want something done, start exploring, experimenting and painting!
