Registration Opens for The Digital Paint Brush, May 10th!

First Lesson Posted: July 5th

Class size is limited, register early to ensure your seat in class!

This class includes video presentations to enhance the learning experience.

Course Prerequisites:

Software Requirement: Painter X and Alien Skin SNAPART
Both of the software provide a free 30 day fully functional Demo version

All lessons are based on photo reference.

Course Syllabus:

Portraits: New techniques to speed up your portrait paintings and simplify them.

Landscapes and City Art: Learn ways to improve your non-people art

Painting with Vibrant Color: Ways to look at color and add more color depth to your paintings

Texture and Finishing Touches: Adding texture to paintings and a variety of finishing touches

This class will require basic skills in Painter including how to navigate the Painter workspace and how to access and find brushes and the brush controls.

Snap Art will need to be installed in the Plug-ins folder so it is accessed from the EFFECTS menu.

A special set of brushes will be installed for this class some of which students may already have. Instructions will be provided on how to install these brushes.

A list of the brushes will be provided for the students.

New users and experienced users will find this class a breath of fresh air as we use many different techniques on the four subjects. The instructions are specific enough for a beginner to follow and an advanced user to “skip” the text and “do it” and move on. Because the classes are both print and videos, I think that any level user will be able to enjoy it and learn a lot from it.

I am excited to working with you all to present my first DAA class. You will find that this class will be fun and should bring beginners into the world of Digital Art and the more experienced will learn techniques and new ideas for creative art. What you need most of all for this class is IMAGINATION and after that Corel Painter X. We will be doing lessons that are ONLY applicable to Painter X. So if you do not have Painter X, wait for class to start and download the FREE 30 Day Painter X for your platform.

We are also going to using Alien Skin SNAP ART to create layers that will bring new dimension to your art. Alien Skin SNAP ART also have a FREE 30 Day download, so again, wait till class starts to download and install it.

Once we finish a weeks lesson we will NOT be going back to it. These are Four SEPARATE lessons.

Welcome to the new home of Digital Art Academy, the next generation in digital art training. Over the next few weeks, the site will grow and mature into a complete online school environment with courses in digital art and digital art applications. We are excited about the opportunities this site will bring to artists across the globe and would like to thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
