Painter 2020: “Speed of Light?

As in previous "what’s new classes," Painter 2020, "Speed of Light" focuses on the new or enhanced features.  The class is primarily for intermediate or advanced users, but I still encourage beginners to join. With a new version, we are all beginners, right?  However, if you have never used Painter before, I suggest taking A Fresh Start, The New Painter 2019. which has a complete beginner's class included.  Then take Corel Painter 2020, Speed of Light.

In this class, I cover all the new features of Painter 2020 and then some.  

List of Features:

Performance Optimization - This new feature is worth the price of upgrading.  Painter can take advantage of multi-core systems, AVX2, and most important, the GPU on the video card.

Enhanced User Interface Elements and Brush Visual - Painter 2019 improved the UI; Painter 2020 revamps it and makes it easier than ever to paint.  Do not be fooled and think this is just a small change.  The UI changes touch almost all areas of Painter.  The result is ease of use, but there is a learning curve.  I help you tame the learning curve.

New Color Selection Features - Oh boy, wait till you play with the color harmonies features.  This is a very useful and well thought out function of Painter.

Enhanced Layer Work Flow - Almost every layer function is now one right click away.  I love that.

And last but not least...4 New Brushes - I designed these watercolor variants.  Watercolor is so much faster in Painter 2020; the medium is a joy to use. 

I promise a fun and informative class.  Registration starts on July 7, 2019 and the class begins July 21, 2019.

Enjoy,

Skip
