Painter Tutorials

These tutorials can help you get the most out of Corel Painter.

Get creative by using clone colour

In this series of tutorials you will learn how to turn a photo into a painting using clone colour. This lets you keep the colours of the original photo but reinterpret it through the characteristics of the particular brush you are using. You still need to be sensitive to a photo’s form and move the brush as you would if you were painting from scratch. This is best achieved by using a pen tablet rather than a mouse.

Get started with basic quick cloning of a flower still life, then move on to cloning a landscape with other paint brushes, and finally get creative when you work on a portrait.

Basic level: Turn a photo into a still life painting using the Quick Clone feature

Learn how to use the Quick Clone feature in Corel Painter X and turn a photo of flowers into a chalk still life.

Sensitive painting with RealBristle brushes
by Cher Threinen-Pendarvis

In this tutorial, Painter Master Cher Threinen-Pendarvis shows you how to sketch and develop a still life painting from direct observation, using RealBristle brushes to create your piece. RealBristle brushes, a new feature in Corel Painter X, simulate the natural movement of an artist's brush, creating brushstrokes that more closely reflect the look and feel of a traditional art brush. Cher takes you through the process step-by-step, including tips on how to set brush tracking, plan a composition, develop a color theme, build an underpainting, modulate colors and sculpting forms, and add or refine details.
