Art Links |

| Here are links to gallery websites of digital artists I like and to sites which give various resources for digital artists. |
|||
 |
Ad Van Bokhoven has some great landscape oil simulations - mainly using Painter. | ||
 |
The Retouching Forum at the Digital Photography Review website is good for all general retouching matters. Not much natural media simulation though. | ||
 |
Another very good place for info on manipulation techniques and processes with a keen photoart forum membership | ||
 |
Phyllis Stewart's lively and friendly forum for all things Retouching and Photoart. | ||
 |
Apart from Craig Mullins, Richard Noble produces the best digital painting I have seen on the web. | ||
 |
Marilyn Sholin's forum for digital painters. The forum is always active with lots to be learned there, particularly about using Painter. Requires password and not free - but not expensive. | ||

Click on the image on the left for a quick walkthrough of the steps I took to produce this picture. You'll need to be able to read pdf documents (with Adobe Reader) to read the document. |

I have also contributed some tutorials to the Corel Painter Official Magazine. The tutorials are in issues which should still be available as back issues from the magazine's website. Click on the "Painter" title above to go to the website. |

Issue 10: This is a 10 page tutorial introducing painting in Colour Clone mode in Painter - only Painter X is used, no Photoshop. The tutorial covers starter, intermediate and advanced projects and introduces different media emulations. The illustration aside shows the opening page and another page from the article. |
||
 |
Issue 13: This 8 page tutorial offers ideas on preparing images for colour clone painting. It covers issues like changing the composition, basic editing (eg brightness and contrast), using differential focus and creating mood. The illustration aside shows the opening page of the article and another page from the article. | ||
 |
Issue 16: This four page tutorial provides a walkthrough on preparing high dynamic range photos and using them in colour clone painting. Using Photomatix Pro (other programs will work too) I go through the creation of an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image and then Tone Mapping it ready for painting. HDR/Tone Mapping makes very different photos in which great detail and tonal subtlety is revealed. The illustration aside is from the opening pages of the tutorial. | ||
