A Great Opportunity to Learn Painter and Deepen Your Artistry

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to take a hands-on workshop from Jeremy Sutton near London. Jeremy will be teaching for two days, 26 - 27 June.

Intro Class, 26 - 27 June

This class is aimed at first time Painter users or those wanting a refresher on the basics. More advanced users will still get a lot out of the class since we will be covering many powerful workflow and artistic techniques. In this exciting and intensive hands-on, bring-your-own-computer, workshop you will learn how to use Corel Painter IX to transform your photographs into beautiful interpretive paintings, how to choose between all the fabulous brushes to achieve different creative effects. You will learn how to add your own unique artistic styling, flavor, panache and flair to your images with hand-painted brush strokes, organic borders and rich textures. The class covers all the basics including:

Setting up your Wacom tablet and Painter IX for optimum efficiency and creativity.
Installing the extra brushes and art materials from Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook Resource CD.
Exploring, choosing and controlling the fabulous brushes and art materials.
Utilizing Painter's powerful cloning capabilities.
Working with, and applying, Paper Textures
Effective strategies for transforming your photographs with beautiful expressive brush strokes into magnificent painted artworks.

This hands-on class is the ideal way to get to grips with Painter and learn the art of transforming your photographs into paintings.

Fee

Introductory 2 days ONLY, June 26 - 27, 2006

Class Fee: $750 (approximately £380)

These fees do not include Jeremy's new 5-DVD set, Painter IX Simplified for Photographers, Natural Media Painting DVD (Digital Innovator Volume 4) and his new book, Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook, which are required for this class. You can purchase these items at the time of registering (see Registration Form for details) and Jeremy will bring them along to class for you. Students are responsible for their own travel, lodgings and meals.

What to Bring and Prepare

Bring your own computer, either Mac or Windows, laptop or desktop, equipped with Corel Painter IX and a Wacom tablet (Jeremy recommends the Wacom Intuos3 6x8, 6 x 11 or Cintiq 21SX). For optimum operation your computer should have the latest version of your computer operating system, either Mac OS X or Windows XP, as much RAM as you can afford and fit into your computer (at least 500 MB recommended), enough free hard drive space to save project files generated during the week (at least 12 GB free hard drive space recommended) and a CD/DVD writer for backing up your files. Please ensure you have installed all software and test run Painter and your tablet prior to class.

Bring with you at least ten varied images to work on, some landscapes/cityscapes, some full figure portraits and some close up faces. First prepare these images in Photoshop, cropping them and adjusting levels and hue/sat as you see fit. Source images for paintings tend to work better when slightly more saturated and contrasty than you may have for a regular image. Save a flattened version of each image, with a meaningful name, as an RGB TIFF file in a folder for source images. Keep the images at the resolution they came out of your camera. You can always resize them later if needed.

Please bring samples of your own work (digital and non-digital) and marketing materials to share with the class, examples of artistic styles you wish to emulate and inspiring books (make sure your name is clearly written in your books).

Class hours are 10am - 5pm each day.

The interface has not changed significantly between Painter X and Painter 11 so you can easily apply the lessons from all my earlier materials when using Corel Painter 11. Likewise my PaintboxJ Painter 11 tutorials can all be easily applied in earlier versions of Painter. I do strongly recommend upgrading to Painter 11 if you currently have an earlier version. The newest Painter is the best yet. It is significantly faster than earlier versions and includes a whole new class of wonderful brushes (the Hard Media brushes).

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

"Jeremy:
Thanks for letting me preview your latest and greatest Painter IX DVDs. Having taken you classes in the past I mistakenly thought that the DVDs would be a review. Much more than being a review, the DVDs are the perfect complement to your classes. I have been able to re-discover techniques and tips that you went over briefly in your class and have found new ways to apply them. I cannot imagine how much time and effort went into distilling all you teachings into these 4 DVDs. The Painter IX DVD’s should be required viewing for all your students. The more I watch them, the more I learn.

Thanks again.
John"

"I attended Jeremy Sutton's Painter Panache Intro Class 7-11 Feb 05. My objective for attending the class was to learn both technical and creativity skills which would take me a level beyond my present skills. I recently retired from the U.S. Army which gave me an opportunity to travel and photograph various people and their cultures. I consider myself an advanced amateur photographer and have had my work published in numerous calendars but was not satisfied with my creativity. I wanted to be able to take my existing images and make them works of art which I am delighted to say, Jeremy taught me to do in the class. 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 IX, 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 DVD's, Painter IX Simplified 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 can't attend the class, I recommend you purchase the DVD's and use them to learn Jeremy's painterly techniques. If you are serious about becoming a digital artist, Jeremy is the master instructor!
Regards,
Lowell"
