"I must tell you that your new Painter book is a work of genius! Your explanations and illustrations are light-years beyond anything else out there. Thank you for your great work."
~ Trace C., Washington
"The brushes that are included in the CD that come with the Painter 11 Creativity book are truly fabulous. I love Jeremy's style of painting as well as his style of teaching. He truly brings the creative side of painting out in you. I was particularly pleased that he included his post-printing process in this book. I used Jeremy's instructions and painted over the print and loved how it made the print come alive! I was so pleased with the process that I plan to do many more of them. I rate this book as a five out of five star!"
~Kathy P., South Carolina
"As an artist who uses Corel Painter, I have always found tutorial handbooks such as Painter 11 Creativity by Jeremy Sutton to be an absolutely priceless tool in the creative process. For anyone new to Corel Painter 11, I would highly recommend this book to help walk you through the diversity of this program. The book comes with a wonderful tutorial CD for either Mac or PC.
The author, Jeremy Sutton, who is one of the world’s premier Painter artists, guides you through the often tedious set-up of the program to establish your personal preferences within the digital studio, as well as proper installation and use of your Wacom (or other brand) artist tablet. Once you are ready to begin painting, the book and CD take you through every brush type and medium style for a complete lesson guide you would simply not be able to accomplish on your own. Jeremy even includes some of his custom made brushes that you will only have access to through this book and CD.
So, if you have been trying to make the decision to take your artistic creativity to the digital studio, then now is the time. You can not go wrong with a book that will guide you step by step through this new world. Painter 11 Creativity is truly a digital artist’s handbook."

Fasten your seat belt!
As you embark on the exercises in Painter 11 Creativity: Digital Artist’s Handbook you are entering a journey of unparalleled creative freedom. My goal is to excite, enthuse, inspire and encourage you on every level and to empower you to make beautiful expressive paintings using the powerful combination of Corel Painter 11 software and a Wacom tablet. You will experience the joy of creative improvisation and expressing yourself on the digital canvas with boldness, passion and joie de vivre. If you are interested in getting your creative juices going, this book is for you.
Learn my perspective on the art of digital painting. The approach and techniques I share can be applied to suit any artistic style and choice of subject. I encourage you to be true to yourself, to follow your heart and to use this book as a creative catalyst. I intend to empower and encourage your individual creativity, to help you on your own original voyage of discovery and to develop your unique voice as an artist.
My focus throughout this book is on developing your artistic skills, on being bold, on taking risks and on using your hand rather than applying effects, filters and automatic techniques. I share what works for me and what I believe will make a practical difference to you.
What’s New in this Edition?
This edition of my book has been completely revised and rewritten. It includes a fresh structure and design for easier learning, inspiring artworks and effective new projects based on what has worked best in my recent seminars.
This new edition includes an improved visual summary of all the Painter brush variants, both the defaults and my custom ones; a refined workflow for painting from photos; an entire new chapter on finishing, including a detailed description of instructions for post-print painting; and a completely new approach to analyzing and explaining my collage techniques compared to my earlier books.
One of the most valuable benefits of this book, besides what is contained on the printed pages, is the collection of extra brushes and art materials on the Resource Disc, plus a Painter 11 workspace that includes all my custom palettes, palette layouts and preference settings. This wonderful assortment of extra brushes, brand new custom palettes, papers, patterns, nozzles and a powerful workspace will transform your experience of Corel Painter 11.

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).
