February 2008 Artistry Tips and Tricks
Topics Covered
The February 2008 issue of Artistry Tips and Tricks shows
how to turn photos into paintings in the style of
Pierre-Auguste Renoir in Corel Painter.
The tutorial about Renoir's art joins the many instructions
published over the years in Artistry Tips and Tricks about
painting and drawing in the style of specific artists.
Artists covered in past issues include the Impressionists, Degas, Pino
Daeni, Edward Hopper, Rembrandt, Monet, Rockwell, Cezanne and many more.
The tutorials featuring the styles of individual artists are offered
not to copy the artist's art, but as a way to study the techniques
so that the reader can have a basis for finding and drawing or painting
in his or her own style.
