Painting by Karen Sperling based on a photo by Kat Meezan.

Painting by Karen Sperling.

You can use Painter's brushes to get some great expressive brushstrokes when painting long-haired dogs and in this self-paced online class, you learn the art theories and Painter steps for turning your pet photos into paintings from Elite Corel Painter Master Karen Sperling.

Included with the class are Karen's custom brushes for painting in this style.

Class videos cover topics like:

• An overview of dog paintings over the centuries and art theories
• How to choose colors
• Which brushes to use
• Using Painter's jitter sliders for fur
• Using Painter's unique and powerful Auto-Painting tool
• How to paint long hair
• How to paint faces
• How to paint with the cloner brushes
• How to paint backgrounds
• How to combine foregrounds and backgrounds
• How to edit with layers

The focus is on developing painterly interpretation rather than copying a photo, using color, brushwork and composition to create expressive floral paintings.

You can move through the lessons at your own pace and revisit them as often as you like.

A word about the Artistry online classes videos and compatibility with current versions of Corel Painter:

This class was created with a previous version of Painter, but it is still compatible with newer versions of the software.

With every new version, Corel makes cosmetic changes to the interface and adds some new tools, but keeps a large percentage of the tools, brushes and features the same. So the techniques don't change when new software versions arrive. And Karen Sperling has been using the same art theories and Painter steps to paint commissioned portraits since Painter's debut 30(!) years ago. Corel may add some new bells and whistles to new versions, but the basic tools, brushes and techniques are carried over from version to version.

If you really get stuck, Karen Sperling is always available in email to answer questions. But she never gets any. Her tutorials really do work with the current versions of Painter.
