Painter X Essential Training with John Derry
"Expressive brushes." This is instructor John Derry's two-word answer as to why Painter is such an effective tool. When used with a Wacom tablet, Painter can elevate digital mark-making to a form of creative self-expression. Combining the aesthetics of traditional media with the freedom to experiment, Painter X Essential Training not only delves into each tool, palette, material, and brush, it also speaks to the artistic concepts of simplicity, stroke, proportion, and perspective. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
Understanding and customizing a Wacom table
Creating brushes
Painting with compositional aids
Working with layers
Cloning and using effects
Using Painter and Photoshop effectively
This is the first of multiple Painter titles I'll be doing in conjunction with lynda.com.
On the "Life Happens" front—Pam is now in remission after 2 rounds of chemo and is scheduled for her bone marrow transplant in June. We are currently in the process of moving to Omaha. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
