Oxford Painter Workshop 2008 - painting away...

What You'll Learn

This seminar is a wonderful opportunity for you to stretch yourself creatively on every level. You will explore ways to transform your photographs into paintings using Corel Painter 11. You will learn a combination of technical and artistic skills that will open the doors to you fully expressing yourself on the digital canvas. Whether you are a professional photographer wanting to expand your product range or a fine artist wanting to develop in a new medium or you are simply interested in learning Painter 11 and loosening up your brush strokes, you will find this seminar a stimulating and educational experience.

Oxford Painter Workshop 2008 - tadaa!

I teach an open-minded, outside the box, approach to transforming your imagery that will stretch your image-making muscles and allow your creativity to flow. I take a thorough methodical approach to building up your knowledge and understanding of Corel Painter 11, balancing the sharing of information with hands-on project work where you try out the demonstrated techniques on an image of your own. The project work affords you the time to integrate new information and hone your skills. You will get individual feedback in which I share ideas and insights. Enjoy an unforgettable educational and inspiring experience that will bring you pleasure for years to come.

This an all-levels workshop. I will adapt projects to suit both the more advanced Painter users as well as beginners. The class size will be kept small (ten or less) so that everyone will benefit from individual attention. Places will be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis so register early to guarantee yourself a place.

The seminar will take place in or near Pembroke College, Oxford, my alma mater, a beautiful 500 year old college right in the center of Oxford (opposite Christ Church, off St. Aldgates).

Walking into Pembroke College is like walking into another world....

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!

Lowell"
