"Hi Jeremy,
I wanted to let you know that I received my DVD collection, Painter IX
Simplified for Photographers, yesterday. I watched the first lession on
"Chalky Pastels" and was truly blown away by your approach to
teaching. Your approach of actually doing a digital drawing right before
my eyes is exactly what I have been looking for. After one lession and
going purely from memory, I was able to compose a digital drawing
myself. I obviously need to practice, but I'm rather pleased with the
outcome.
I have read books and watch DVD's that explain each of the tools in Painter
(which you also provide on Disk 1), but seeing someone compose and explain
the thought process and complete workflow is what is the most valuable
to me. I'm looking forward to going through all of your lessons many
times. Thanks for putting this collection together.

"Jeremy,
Just received your Painter IX DVD's. They are great!! Just what I have
been looking for. They actually make a non-artist like me feel like I
am a painter-ha!

"Hi Jeremy,
Just wanted to let you know that I received your package, and I've already
watched the 1st DVD on my computer. And the bonus DVD on the TV. Going
back and forth as it were.
I've been really impressed with the bonus DVD and the main thing that
impressed me was what you said about not undoing your work, to not stop
and not give up and just keep working over what you think might be mistakes
at the time. Something I certainly need to learn, so I thank you for that.
Going to get back to DVD #2. Great stuff and thanks.
Best Regards,
Mark Hochman"

Which Resources and Materials?
Whatever level of Painter user you are, you will definitely benefit from joining my new online education center www.PaintboxJ.com. In PaintboxJ you will find new video tutorials on Corel Painter 11 added monthly, and much more. The fastest way I can help you with Painter is for you join one of my in-person workshops. In terms of my instructional books and DVDs, I recommend starting off with my book, Painter X Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook, and introductory DVD, Learning Corel Painter X with Jeremy Sutton. The book is a great complement to all my other materials and also serves as the required text book for all my classes. The book goes deeper and broader than any DVD. It also provides convenient step lists for many of the techniques shared on the DVDs. The Learning Corel Painter X DVD gives you a good overview of the software.
Once you are familiar with the basics then I recommend the more advanced DVD sets, How to Paint from Photographs Using Corel Painter X
and Expanding Your Creativity with Jeremy Sutton - The Art of Collage Portraiture. Both these more advanced DVD sets take you through real-life case studies from beginning to end, sharing my work-flow, organizational systems, creative process, decision-making strategies, techniques and tools, plus including extensive extra brushes, art materials, tutorial images and more. In both DVDs I show how I apply physical paint onto my prints.
The interface has not changed significantly between Painter X and Painter 11 so you can easily apply the lessons from all my earlier materials when using Corel Painter 11. Likewise my PaintboxJ Painter 11 tutorials can all be easily applied in earlier versions of Painter. I do strongly recommend upgrading to Painter 11 if you currently have an earlier version. The newest Painter is the best yet. It is significantly faster than earlier versions and includes a whole new class of wonderful brushes (the Hard Media brushes).
