How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X: Creative Techniques with Jeremy Sutton
Subject: Your art and your enthusiasm are amazing
Hi Jeremy
I loved, loved, loved your DVD on "How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X". I have had to watch it every spare minute I could. My husband and children are completely fed up with me. It was so inspiring.
I am going to take it to the coast with me and I will work through it again.
I will do my own painting this time. When I watched it the first time I was
just hungry to hear and watch every single word and brush mark in detail.
I also loved seeing the lecture you gave in Oxford as I was so dying to be
there. I loved seeing your process of painting from life almost (well
probably as much) as much as the detailed instruction. Hopefully I can attend your Oxford Lecture and workshop next year.
Thank you for creating this wonderful DVD. I just love using Painter.

Subject: Congratulations!
Jeremy,
I just reviewed the last piece of "The Ultimate Collection 2007", your new DVD tutorial: "How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X: Creative Techniques with Jeremy Sutton".
Wow! Your tutorials just keeps getting better, interesting and entertaining. Congratulations! It was worth waiting for.
Cheers,

Subject: A note of thanks
Jeremy, I just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for the inspiration you have given me in your books and DVDs. I come off almost 40 years as a 3-D and Graphic designer and was looking for something new to explore, Painter was it. You more than any other instructor or author has shown the amazing creative capabilities of this program.
Your painting and your lifestyle seem to blend together so you are a really interesting person to watch. If I ever get out to California, I know I would be interested in trying to get into one of your hands on courses.
Once again thanks for showing how far outside the box you can go with Painter.

What to Buy?
I recommend starting off with my book, Painter X Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook, and introductory DVD, Learning Corel Painter X with Jeremy Sutton. The book is a great complement to all my other materials and also serves as the required text book for all my classes. The book goes deeper and broader than any DVD. It also provides covenient step lists for many of the techniques shared on the DVDs. The Learning Corel Painter X DVD gives you a good overview of the software.
Once you are familiar with the basics then I recommend the more advanced DVD sets, How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X - Creative Techniques with Jeremy Sutton
and Expanding Your Creativity with Jeremy Sutton - The Art of Collage Portraiture. Both these more advanced DVD sets take you through real-life case studies from beginning to end, sharing along the way my work-flow, organizational systems, creative process, decision-making strategies, techniques and tools, plus including extensive extra brushes, art materials, tutorial images and more. In these two DVD sets I share cross-media techniques that show how I work with different programs and apply traditional media onto my prints.
If you are keen to dive in deeply and work through all my materials then I recommend my Ultimate Collection 2007 which includes all the items mentioned above at a discounted price (roughly equivalent to having the Learning Corel Painter X DVD thrown in for free).
