What to bring

  • Computer, either Mac or Windows, laptop or desktop. For optimum operation have the latest version of your computer operating system with as much RAM as you can afford (at least 500 MB recommended) and enough free hard drive space to save project files generated during the workshop (at least 10 GB free hard drive space recommended).
  • The most recent version of Corel Painter software available at the time of the workshop. See Corel.com.
  • Wacom tablet (see links at the Education Store). I recommend you install the latest Wacom driver which you can download from Wacom.com.
  • Digital photos that you'd like to transform into paintings. Please prepare about ten varied color images you'd like to work with. Each digitized source image should be about 3000 - 4000 pixels in the maximum dimension and be saved as flat RGB TIFFs (in Adobe Photoshop you can verify Image > Mode > RGB Color and 8 Bits / Channel). Before attending the workshop please ensure your source files can be opened in Corel Painter. Start a folder for collecting your source images. Name each source image file with a meaningful name so you can identify what it is. Please select, rename and, if needed, resize, your source images before coming to class. There will be an optional photo shoot tour the Sunday afternoon before class. You could use this as an occasion to capture imagery to work on in class.
  • Digital Camera.
  • Any examples of your artwork, and of artistic styles you admire and would like to emulate.
  • Inspiring books (make sure your name is clearly written in your books).
  • Your enthusiasm! You do not need prior experience with Corel Painter or a Wacom tablet. All you need is an eagerness to learn and be creative!

PPA members will earn one merit for attending the san Francisco courses.

"You are effervescent! Your enthusiasm is contagious. You allow learning and experimenting to happen without fear or constraints."
Harvey Henningsen

"I have attended other photography workshops in the past but I can honestly say that Jeremy is by far the best instructor. The difference is, he gives personal attention to each student during the duration of the entire course. He is a master digital artist and shares his techniques with his students. After returning from the course, I rolled up my sleeves and have worked on and completed exhibition quality images which I am going to sell in art galleries, calendars, and posters. I would also like to say besides learning the ins and outs of Painter, I also gained a lot of insight into myself and my abilities during the duration of the course when we made and critiqued images. If you are planning on taking the Intro Course, I recommend you first purchase Jeremy's most recent training DVDs and study those prior to attending the class. I worked with my set for approximately two weeks before the class and as a result, obtained so much more information because of my familiarity with the techniques. If you are serious about becoming a digital artist, Jeremy is the master instructor!
Regards,
Lowell"
