Register Now for Winifred Whitfield’s Fantastic Class, Matisse Inspired

Posted by Skip Allen on

Hello Everyone,

Winifred Whitfield has joined the Digital Art Academy team and is starting her first class tomorrow, Matisse Inspired.  Winifred has studied Matisse at length and developed a wonderful digital style inspired by this master.  I love looking at her examples, the bright colors, the simplified forms, and the magnificent patterns.  I know you will want to take this class.  She is teaching it in Corel Painter X3 and Corel Painter 2015.

It starts tomorrow.  Is it too late to register?  Absolutely not.  Registration always stays open for the first week of class, but after that registration closes.  To register for the class, you will want to go the Digital Art Academy and sign in if you have an account.  If not, look to the right side of the page and select Create New Account.  Follow the prompts.  You must create an account before you can register for any class; this doesn’t register you, it just allows you to register when you wish.  If you have any trouble, then take a look at the PDF How To Register and Enroll in a Class at Digital Art Academy.  Once you registered all the wonderful videos and resources that Winifred has for you are available.

The amount of resources Winifred makes available is amazing.  And all are downloadable to your computer for you to view over and over at your leisure.  You will upload your assignments and Winifred will give you helpful hints and constructive criticism about your work.

Take a look at some of Winifred’s images for the class.  I particularly like the work inspired by Matisse cutouts.

I know that her class will go into depth about how to make patterns with Corel Painter.  Making patterns is great fun; you will love it.

I hope to see you in the class.  I wouldn’t miss it.

Do go to the Digital Art Academy and register for Matisse Inspired.  It is a good decision.  Winifred is an accomplished artist and teacher; learning from her is easy.

Remember, you can register anytime in the first week of class, but don’t wait; don’t miss a single day with Winifred.

Enjoy,

Corel Painter X3 Online Classes, New at the Digital Art Academy, Landscape Painting Fundementals and Acrylic Painting on Digitally Printed Canvas

Posted by Skip Allen on

Hello Friends,

I’m excited about the new classes at the Digital Art Academy (DAA).  Check out these wonderful offerings.

Landscape Painting Fundamentals, Instructor Aaron Rutten, starts February 1, 2014.  Aaron is new to DAA and has a very fresh approach to digital landscapes.

He makes you tube instructional videos daily and has a large following; do visit Aaron Rutten’s You Tube Channel.  You can see more of Aaron’s work at his website.   I laughed out loud when I saw this delightful image:

Here is an example of a landscape painting that Aaron will demonstrate in the class.  Isn’t it exciting?

I know you will want to take Landscape Painting Fundamentals.  I think this class will be a lot of fun.

I am very excited about Acrylic Painting on Digitally Printed Canvas with Painter Master Marilyn Sholin.  Having Marilyn back at DAA brings so many fond memories.  I took my first digital online class at DAA from Marilyn in September of 2008.  I loved the class.  Now she is back at DAA sharing how to enhance your digitally printed canvases.

Acrylic Painting on Digitally Printed Canvas starts February 17, 2014.  This class will change the way we finish our paintings.

In addition to the two new classes at DAA, there are a number of Self-Paced Classes (Open Enrollment) available now and coming soon.  Self-Paced class content is available to download immediately. Your instructor provides support for questions about class content. These classes do not include live sessions however some may include recorded live sessions.  There are no deadlines and you can work at your own pace.

Master Painter Karen Bonaker’s popular class, Photo Painting 101 for the Beginner, is now a Self Paced class.  Don’t let the “for the beginner” moniker fool you; this class is full of tips and tricks.  I am always surprised at how much I pick up in every class I attend.

Elaina Moore-Kelly provides the best fundamental basic class for Painter X3 and Painter 12 found on the Web.  Her classes are PDF based, very comprehensive, and easy to understand. For beginners and advanced users alike.  If you are an advanced Painter user, treat yourself and be surprised at how much new stuff you will discover.  These classes are win-win for anybody.

Returning in March are the very popular digital photography classes with Al Mierau, Digital Photography – The Basics, and Introduction to Black & White Photography.

Lots of wonderful education opportunities in 2014.  If you are wondering why I’m not on the list, too bad…I ain’t telling.  Just kidding.  I have some minor medical issues that I need to take care of in February.  After that, look for new classes from me.

Enjoy,
