OK, we have looked at the stuff that needs to be done before you start painting in Corel Painter. In my attempt to show you how I learn a new version of Corel Painter, Series Two will be looking at the new Fluid Brushes. I usually look at the description in the Help Files of what is new in the version. Then I jump in and start playing. Join me in my exploration of Corel Painter 2023’s new Fluid Brushes.
Fluid Brushes – First look

Fluid Brushes – 8th Look – I know – I said the seventh video was the last in this series, but I forgot about merge modes – this video takes care of it.
OK…give me a couple of days and I will have series three up. I hope you enjoy the videos. Please like on You tube and subscribe. If these videos are helpful, consider making a donation.

It’s been a year since I last posted. Since April 2021, my life was difficult, but I think I see light at the end of the tunnel. I have been on sabbatical from Corel Painter, classes, and everything else. I am still on sabbatical, but I am gradually returning to life as normal.
As you know, I usually offer a class on the new Painter every year, but not this year. However, I do want to share what I know about the new version…or at least how I learn a new version of painter. This entry as well as the next few will focus on what I do to learn a new version of Corel Painter. I hope you enjoy the videos and if they are useful, please like them on You Tube and subscribe here and You Tube. Please feel free to comment and ask questions.

I am dividing the information into series. The first series concerns opening painter for the first time and creating new workspaces and layouts. The following two suggestions are highly recommended:
Before you open Painter for the first time, hold down the shift key and then open painter with the shift key activated. This is called a Shift Start and gives you an opportunity to set all workspaces back to the factory default settings. Then make sure you do not have anything open in the background before you run Painter’s brush performance accelerator.
Create a workspace and layout from scratch. Yes, you can still import a workspace from an older version, but the possibility of a glitch happening is very high. The versions are more and more complex. Taking an hour or two and creating a new workspace is a very good idea.
If you are familiar with Painter’s workspaces and layouts, then feel free to skip this first series of videos. However, you may find the review useful. I will Shift Start, run the brush performance accelerator, and create a new workspace and layout from scratch. Enjoy the videos, Skip
