Jeremy balances technical instruction with artistic advice, including a whole chapter on going for it with color.

This edition has been completely revamped to cover all of the new features in Corel Painter 11 and the Wacom Intuos4 pen-tablet, including: *The new Hard Media brushes *Complete visual summary of all brushes, new and old, in Painter 11 *Revised and updated command shortcuts *New way of creating and controlling Reference Layers (formerly Free Transform) *Programming suggestions for new Intuos4 Express Keys and Touch Ring *And much more! Inside, you'll find comprehensive coverage of the way that Jeremy uses the Painter 11 brushes and the Wacom Intuos4 pen-tablet for drawing and painting. Again, this has been optimized for stylus-based use: The last ten brushes are shown as easy-to-hit buttons, rather than menu items.Jeremy Sutton is one of the world’s premier Painter artists ( and and in this brand new edition of his best-selling Painter Creativity: Digital Artist’s Handbook, he shows you the methods and techniques he’s developed over the years to perfect his art and earn him the title of Corel Painter Master. Speaking of flow, another new feature is an easily accessible list of the ten last used brushes. You can cycle through several brush parameters in this way, and modify your brushes without breaking your creative flow. Tap Ctrl again, and you get to change brush opacity. You can then change the brush size by dragging your pen or moving the mouse. You simply hold down Alt and Ctrl, and tap your pen onto the tablet (or click your mouse, if you’re not using a digitizer). It did slow down a bit when I used the Real Wet Oil brush with gleeful abandon, but I did not experience such a slowdown with the Real Watercolor brushes.Īnother feature new to Corel Painter 12 is the ability to change brush parameters on the fly, without using a menu or a toolbox. Even though the new brush types seem computationally intensive, Painter was quite speedy to use (and my test computer is no monster workstation). That was a truly eye-opening moment–it is just like water color.Ĭorel says Painter 12 is up to five times faster than Painter 11. But when I stopped drawing, the strokes I made suddenly blended into the paper, diffused, and actually “dried” right in front of my eyes, becoming slightly faded. Paint showed up on the screen so far, nothing new. I picked out a brush and started clumsily scratching away at my Wacom.
#COREL PAINTER 11 SLOW MANUAL#
To view the manual you will need to have a file viewer such as ADOBE Acrobat Reader. The manual can also be found in the following default file location: C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Painter 11\Resources\EN\Help. The first thing that struck me about Painter 12 is the new Real Watercolor brushes. Click on Help and select USERGUIDE on the drop down. To review Painter, I dug out my trusty old Wacom tablet (a Graphire 2 model aimed at consumers). I’ve been using Corel products for many years, but mostly stuck with CorelDraw, which is my favorite vector drawing application. The allure of painting with something “just like water color” has tempted both developers and users for years, and Corel Painter 12 ($429, 30-day free trial) brings this dream closer than ever before.Ĭorel Painter 12 packs numerous improvements, including Real Watercolor, which lets artists emulate watercolor brushes with impressive fidelity.Before I take you on a whirlwind tour of Corel Painter 12, I must admit I am by no means a painter. The quest to use a computer to emulate natural artistic media is not a new one.
