Example of watercolor in Corel Painter 2023
I reviewed what I had done for the new features of Painter 2023 and realized I had finished. There have been numerous requests for tutorials about watercolor in Painter. This post is exactly that…tutorials about watercolor in Corel Painter 2023. I will be working in Painter 2023 and the resources that I make available will be compatible with 2023.
Let’s get started. The first three videos talk about using Selections with watercolor. Since selections are enhanced in 2023, I thought this was a good place to start.
Selection Videos
I am going to provide the brushes I used in the tutorials. This next series of videos concern the brushes and how to use them.
Brush Tutorials
The next series of videos demonstrate painting with watercolor in Corel Painter 2023.
Painting One
The next tutorials will show demonstrate this painting.

The next series of videos demonstrate this second painting.
Painting Two
This is the next tutorial. Sadly, I was focused on the painting and did the whole thing in one video. Sorry for the length of the video.

Following is a box file with all the brushes I used in the demonstrations. To install a box file, open Painter and go to Menu > Window > Custom Palette > Organizer and select import. Go to you saved box file and select it. The file will be installed in painter as a new brush category under the active Brush Library. Enjoy.
Following is the Paper Scripts Library that I used. To install, open Painter, got to Menu > Window > Scripts and select the three lines in the top right corner. From the menu, select Import Script Library, then navigate to your saved file and select it. If you are having problems, you might be importing Script instead of Script Library.
Following are paintings of mine that were done in Corel Painter. Some are new; others are old. Enjoy.
One of my favorite styles is watercolor using blacks as if it was ink and watercolor.
This watercolor and thick paint mixed.
From time to time, I enjoy Enso.

This is great, thank you. I unfortunately can’t use 2023 on my iMac. It has the Radeon Pro 570X 4 GB processor. My computer is only two years old so I am stuck till I can afford a newer model with the better processor. I fear my days with Painter are numbered. 2022 is working fine although I can’t use some of the brushes, or can’t get the full effect from the brushes. 😦
Thanks Skip. This sounds exciting. I’ll start to go through your videos later today.
Hi Skip I can’t find the Papers from Tim Shelbourne you mentions in the first video. Can you give me a link?
Thanks
Sorry, I forgot. I will post them tomorrow.
Hello Skip, I’m also looking for this paper download and cannot find it with any google search. Was it ever posted?
Thank you so much for these tutorials. As an entrant to digital and Painter, I’m finding them invaluable.
Many thanks,
Keith
My Bad, I still haven’t gotten it together. I will soon.
I am really enjoying your tutorials, thank you so much. Where do we find your brushes that you mentioned?
Thank you,
Kathi
They are after the tutorials.
What absolutely beautiful watercolor and mixed media paintings.
Thanks Kathi. Hope you enjoy the videos.
Thanks Kathi. I hope you enjoy the videos.
Hi Skip, looking forward to watching all this. For some reason I can’t download the resources. I’ve disabled popups for this site. the screen flashes and I see the file name at bottom of your page but nowhere to download the file. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I tried all my Right click menu options and ‘save link as’ worked. Thank you for these resources!
Sorry I didn’t reply. I thought I had and apparently it or I got lost. Sigh
Fabulous stuff. You really are the undisputed Painter Watercolour master, dear Skipper. I enjoyed these very much. Best, T
Hi Tim. So glad to hear from you. I am still heading to England sometime next year…when I do not know until I finish the family research. I hope you have a Very Merry and a Happy. Skip
