IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL

ANNOUNCING COREL PAINTER 12

WORKSHOP

For Artists & Photographers 

at Digital Arts Studio

Sunday, September 11, 2011 

Are you interested in learning about tools that enhance your ability to produce great art?

Already have the best paint brushes or camera but still wanting more?

Corel Painter 12  just may be the answer.

 

Learning to use Corel Painter 12 will be a transformational experience, whether you are looking for a new profit center for your business, a tidier way to paint more often, or to unlock your own creative beast, THIS is the tool that can trigger the rising of your inner phoenix.

Once you have learned how to use the tools, the sky is the limit for creating traditional or contemporary paintings, collages and mixed media pieces.

Do not misunderstand. This is not a class in producing computer generated art, but an introduction to tools that emulate the brushes, chalks, pens, and fluid movements of oil, acrylic, watercolor, and ink media, among others. Understanding how to use these tools will unlock your ability to start putting your visions on canvas or paper AFTER you have refined them with less waste, mess and improved quality of time.

 

Join veteran traditional and digital painter, Suzanne Clem-Wheeler at Digital Arts Studio on Sunday, September 11, 2011 to learn about one of the greatest tools available to artists, Corel Painter 12. This natural brush emulation software makes creating beautiful art possible whether you are a longtime traditional artist or an artist being held back by hands that can't seem to master stick people! Your desire to create wonderful, interesting art and ownership of a computer is enough.

The class will be divided into three parts. The first two hours will be a general introduction to the layout of Painter 12, workspace set up, tips for staying organized and an introduction to the characteristics of popular brushes. After lunch we will learn about specific tools to expedite the process of painting digitally so that you can have the feel of success even if you entered the class unable to draw more than a smiley face. The last two hours of class will be an open studio where you will be able to work on projects and techniques introduced in the class with one-on-one, over the shoulder assistance. The last fifteen minutes of the class will be a guided tutorial on uploading your work to Digital Arts Studio, so that you can order a printout of your day's efforts.

This introduction to Painter 12 is suitable for students who have never used Painter as well as veterans, as version 12 is genuinely a whole new vehicle of improved tools and workspace options.

Class size will be limited to eight, so sign up NOW as we expect the class to fill quickly!

Equipment required: Mac or PC laptop computer with Painter 12 (educational or trial version acceptable) installed and a Wacom pad.

Fee: $149 for six hour class

Who is Suzanne Clem-Wheeler?

More on What to Expect:

Traditional painters: How many times have you had a fabulous inspiration for a painting but you didn't have any canvases properly gessoed and ready for painting or it was too hot to crack a window for proper ventilation, and you had guest arriving in a few hours and your painting mess would be in the way?

With Painter 12 all you have to do is open your computer, pick up your Wacom pen and start painting! If you are still learning the skills of traditional painting, Painter 12 is a way to fearlessly experiment without wasting paint and the ability to go back to the previous version of your work that you liked better and even combine elements of perfection from several versions to achieve your perfect vision.

Believe it or not, painting in Painter 12 will enhance your skill level as a traditional painter too. You will lose the fear of trying new things because you won't have to scrape and repaint. You will be able to practice painting techniques in short periods of time, and before you know it be looking for your digital brushes in your traditional brush holder!

 

Photographers: The proliferation of digital photography has created a whole new marketing monster for professional photographers; using Painter 12 can help set you apart from photographers offering the same old thing. Furthermore, if you have ever captured a subject that was incredible but relegated it to the trash can because of technical imperfections that cannot be overcome with photo editing software, Painter 12 can be your best friend.

 

Hobby photographers enjoy the added variables beyond editing software as they find their inner artist come to life.
