Corel Painter X Training Course

 

Corel Painter X Training
2 Days
Corel Painter

Course Synopsis: New Corel Painter X features unique digital brushes, art materials and textures that mirror the look and feel of their traditional counterparts. This class begins with an overview of the Corel Painter X interface, a review of basic tools and tips and then moves to practical sketching and painting exercises, including how to convert digital photographs to drawings, paintings, and mosaics.

Who Should Attend: Graphic professionals who need an essential understanding of the painting and editing tools in Corel Painter X. Experienced users will also benefit from the many tips and tricks and special exercises.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.

What You Will Learn:
• Working with Color and Textures
• Rotating and Flipping Images
• Working with Layers
• Creating Paintings from Photographs
• Sketching and Painting
• Creating and Saving Custom Brushes
• Applying Effects
• Creating Type and Shapes

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
