Tutorials

The following are tutorials for using Corel Painter. You may download the PDF’s (the links will open them) and use them to guide you. I suggest you start with your own photos, though, to get the most of what is taught. Using your own photo will ensure you have copyrights to your own painting when you finish.

I would be honored if you would post your finished painting on your site and link to this page, or send me a jpg of your work by email, and I will feature you and your painting in a post here at Over Coffee Blog.

Hi Barb,

I just noticed this tutorial tab on your blog. What a fabulous idea. I checked out the one for the two girls and am thinking, when I have some free time, I’d like to try that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I’m so glad you want to give it a go, Barbara! I hope you’ll let me know how it goes… If you post it when you’re finished, I will too! :) Or just send it to me and I’ll feature it.
