| A few recommended Totally Free Digital Photography programs |
| 2008-03-17 16:26:21 |
Corel Painter will of course always be superior to any other digital painting software out there.

If you are going to do some professional painting jobs, then corel painter is the perfect program for you. But if you just want to mess around and have some fun, then here are some free programs to try out:1. GIMP2. FastStone Image Viewer3. Paint NET 3.224. ArtRage 2.5...

| What is digital art? The future of digital art, and some corel painter tips. |
| 2008-02-11 08:34:28 |
I originally wanted to write an article on the definition of digital art, and now I finally made myself write it. Digital art is art created with the help of a computer. This can be done in many different ways. A picture can be modelled in 3D and rendered, or art painted in the traditional sense with the aid of a tablet, or even a simple mouse (I really hope everyone reading this are sitting on a tablet though hehe). Pictures can also entirely be generated of the computer like with a program called “Apophysis”. This program can also help you with creativity in Corel Painter, if you are struggling on getting inspiration. It basically automatically creates shapes of colors with a click of a button. I have used it...

| Learning Corel Painter and the RealBristle Brushes |
| 2008-01-22 11:28:06 |
I watched this video that other day, as I was surfing around on corel painter related sites. Wanted to get some inspiration for some new art work. Then I found this video, and it really got me exited about the RealBristle Brushes. It is so cool and flexible, you can really create some cool things with this. Real bristle brushes can give you some nice variations and effects, that mainly should be used for spreading paint over large areas. Like putting in the color of the ground, sea, or sky. So what are you waiting for, you should begin right away to experiment yourself with this great feature in corel painter! Who knows maybe it will become your favorite tool soon ;)...

| corel painter download - you wont be disappointed & corel painter gallery |
| 2008-01-17 09:24:35 |
| Many people ask me why I use corel painter rather than Photoshop. I'm sure many other painter users gets asked this as well. I always answer short and simple to those people if they have tried corel painter, and sadly the answer is usually "no". Then i follow up with giving them a link to download it and try it out for themselves. I have always wondered why photoshop has become such a popular program, when corel painter exists. In my opinion photoshop should be used for photo editing, and not for painting, as it cant simulate real life brushes as well. The new version of corel painter is really a brilliant piece of software people, and is strongly recommended. Also I recommend going to the corel painter

Making things like a customized pallet is very nice, since then you will be more efficient. Keep in mind that this tutorial is for beginners, then later this blog will cover more advanced sides of the program....

| A neat little trick |
| 2006-12-01 15:34:40 |
Hello all. Have you ever used Corel Painter or (Corel Painter evil and less good competitorcalled "Photoshop") and wondered if you could change the shape of the pencil/brush tip.Now here is the answer to do just that! Look at this image, it is very self explained. But I can add that after you have done this, you should save up your newcostum made brush. So you can get it later on, if you want to use it again!And also after you have pressed capture dab up in the right corner, you mustremove the marquee selection, or else you can only draw inside this selection. And thatis no good, since it is so very small ;)Have fun doing this, I thought is was a cool little trick anyway, that maybe not all areaware of. Can photoshop do this I ask? If you who read this knows, gi...

| The Hot Keys or shortcuts I use |
| 2006-08-17 07:49:55 |
When learning a new digital software like corel painter essentials 3, Photoshop, or Corel Painter IX, there are always a ton of buttons to press in order to perform simple tasks.And if you have to press all these buttons, and go into long menues everytime, you will work very slow. So its a good idea to try to have a good workflow, with the use of some shortcuts & hot keys wich I like to call them. The hot keys im about to give you, are those that I use most often in Corel Painter. And many of them can also be used in similar software like for instance Adobe Photoshop, so I will tell you if you can use the hotkeys in that program aswell. Where I dont mention Photoshop the hotkeys a...

| Free download of a superb set of Brushes to Corel Painter IX or older versions |
| 2006-08-12 15:51:30 |
One of the first things you should do if you havent done so already, is to find out what types of brushes you like. This is important, because there are so many brushes to choose from, and they will give you lots of different results. And before you can go ahead and create high quality art, you need to master a set of brushes. I really RECOMMEND that you do the following: Go to this site, scroll down to "Corel Painter-related goodies" and : find ROBS BRUSHES hereYou will seriously thank me if you havent downloaded these brushes before, they are in my opinion EXCELLENT ;)I recently found another site that offer you some sets of brushes, that I havent tried out yet. I will download them instantly and try them out, y...

| Corel Painter .... So whats all the fuzz about? |
| 2006-08-11 19:47:11 |
If you are completely new, and dont know a thing about Corel Painter. This post is for you.Ok, so you know that almost every 2D digital artist you know uses Adobe Photoshop, but whats the deal with Painter, you may ask. And why am I so hung up on this program!? Here comes the answer =)Some people prefer Painter because it handles very similar to real life art tools. Its so realistic that it gives a nice feel, that every artist new or skilled will enjoy. Photoshop has to me always been a more Photography/graphic design-centric software, and although they've added more advanced characteristics for the drawing/painting people, it is very digital and does not function like real life art tools. It's safe to say a personal preference thing. I prefer Paint...

| To clearify a common misunderstanding |
| 2006-08-11 07:56:48 |
I want to make a quick post about the history of this software program.For a long time ago when I was searching on the net trying to find out where to buy Painter, I ran into a little problem. A common misunderstanding that many have. And that is: What is the difference between the program called Procreate Painter and Corel Painter? The answer is : NONE. Procreate IS Painter, the thing is that Painter was temporarily rebranded Procreate Painter during its transition into the Corel Suite of applications. But that time is over now, and the program is just know for Corel Painter, or just Painter among the advanced users. In addition it can be mentioned here, that in 2005 Corel released "scaled-down version of Painter developed for home users" called Painter Essentials 3....

| Corel Painter Training ! |
| 2006-08-11 07:26:42 |
Yes, so you say to yourself "Im totally new to this, whats the quickest and best way to learn this type of software!?". I must admit that before I became a true Painter fan, I too used adobe Photoshop. And they way I learned that program, was to watch their "Total training dvds". Then you wont miss a thing, it is professionals that go thru every aspect of the program, and train you up to master all the somewhat difficult techniques. Ok enough about Photoshop already. I meant to say that Corel Painter has ofcourse several professional training dvd`s aswell. And here are you can find them: computer-training-software.com & Official Painter site, with a bunch of high quality tutorials on DVD and in books....

| Hello World and Welcome to this blog dedicated to one of the best digital software programs out on the market: corel Painter |
