DVD-ROM versus DVD-Video

A DVD-ROM is a data disc that only plays on a computer (Mac or Windows PC), not on a TV or regular stand alone DVD player. A DVD-Video plays on regular DVD players as well as computers. DVD-ROM offers the benefit of the QuickTime slider that allows you to easily and quickly navigate around each movie, going from one point to another in seconds. This is generally more convenient that fast forwarding or reversing in a regukar DVD player. DVD-ROM can play at higher resolution (in this case 800 x 600 pixels) than a DVD-Video (720 x 480 pixels), and gives better reproduction of details near the edge of the screen. This DVD set is a DVD-ROM.

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).

"Wow...all I can say is WOW...double WOW WOW......I couldn't wait to get your book and I figured I could use two of them and boy was I right! (I can already see that one of them will travel with me and be VERY dogeared and marked up!!).
Jeremy...the book is incredibly AWESOME in information, clearness of delivery of the info and the design is beautiful! You even include so much info for us teaching Painter to make us better teachers of the medium.
This is an achievement worth waiting for and you can be sure I will be selling it's glories to anyone that wants to truly learn Painter!! 
Best...

"I am enjoying my copy of Painter 8 Creativity (I think I was probably the first person in Australia to buy it!). I appreciate the way in which you value the creative process with as much importance as the final article. As a professional teacher / illustrator I wholeheartedly agree with this approach. I encourage my students not to cram formulas but to search for ways to solve each problem as it presents itself. Each section of your book is in itself a springboard into an array of new experimentations.

"Hello Jeremy,
I just bought a copy of Painter 8 Creativity and I am in heaven. As a published author myself I applaud your excellent work! As a reawakening artist I am stirred and deeply inspired. Thank you!
Your book made my day! Maybe the rest of my life, in fact.
Sincerely,
Patricia"
