Description

In this class, you will learn to incorporate a combination of collage and digi-scrap techniques to make four different projects. In the process, I hope to teach you a few new tricks about Painter. Your finished projects will be suitable for printing, either to hang on your walls or to use for greeting cards (my favorite use of computer graphics).

Note: This class is suitable for users of Corel® Painter[TM]IX.5, Corel® Painter[TM] X or Corel® Painter[TM] 11. In areas where Painter 11 differs from Painter 9.5/X, appropriate annotations have been made.

Please Note: This is a self-study class. Instructor support is only provided on a limited basis.

   Elaina delivers exactly what she promises. And then adds to it as the class progresses, depending on questions and/or comments raised during. She’s thorough and clear. I rate her tops.
