Ok, here is part one of my tutorial as promised. Sorry it is taking me so long to finish it. I have never done one before and it is different from teaching one on one( taking screen shots and trying to write it all down and making sure I don't forget anything). So if you have questions or suggestions let me know. I'm still working on the photoshop portion. The first half is in painter, however it could all be done in photoshop using similar methods, I just prefer starting in painter.
Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm always fascinated by painters, whether watercolors or oils or acrylics or digital. I've never really painted with Photoshop before. I use it primarily to clean up my stray marks. But I'd love to give this a shot one day.
ReplyDeleteHave an excellent weekend!
I love the red shoes. I would never be able to do this. Too many instructions. If I can't figure it out when I touch the keyboard, I will never get it. So I will just enjoy looking at your work! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am taking notes for this one. This is great and so kind of you to post it. This is going to help so many of us out here. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You are a great teacher.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Thank you, I don't mind at all. I have always taught, just not online... I'm so glad you are finding it helpful. I will post the next part today.

ReplyDeleteWonderul info Karen - I'm not quite ready for this yet, but I truly admire your adeptness with the digital!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take lessons from you, my teacher seems to have gone awol!
Oh, I am sorry your teacher is awol Susan! Maybe we can figure something out, send me an email when you have time. My sister helped me long distance, we can probably figure something out when you have a little more time.
ReplyDeleteyou're my hero — I love art tutorials (thanks for sharing). Once you get a chance to try Photoshop CS5, lemme know how you think it compares to Painter (I don't really know Painter very well).
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
Thanks, Karen, for sharing your experience!
ReplyDeleteyeah, Justin, I am excited about CS5 it is supposed to have some painting elements that are comparable to painter. It's actually the blending element that I prefer painter for right now. I guess that most people don't go crazy with blending the way that I do though.
ReplyDeleteWow, Karen! This is something I will bookmark..really awesome that you're sharing your process. I am always so very impressed with your ability to show a pose with such deft. I particularly love her left foot angle..such confidence in a pose, huh? I'm always so glad to visit. I'm sorry it's not often..I'm plowing through new illos and the website and am finally feeling like I'm making progress...yay! Thank you again for the honors..you are such a dear friend!
ReplyDeleteWow Karen, thankyou for doing this! When I have time through the week I will run this tut over and see what I can learn.
ReplyDelete:)
It's very kind of you!
no, problem I just hope someone finds it helpful. I hated it when I was first learning and couldn't find how to do what I wanted to do.
ReplyDeleteExcellent I just start the switch from Photoshop to painter so it's great to have a painter tutorial to get me started.
