There was a lot of broken narration speaking would just stop and I kept thinking I had a sound issue - cycled speakers repeatedly. The subject seemed to jump all over the place. I was looking for something more in-depth in constructing a work from scratch there was too much sampling of found images

This course would be essential for beginning digital artists. Without it, Corel Painter would be too advanced for starters. I appreciate the instructor's eloquence and expertise – it's far more effective than traditional classroom environments! The only problem is that the version of the software used on the course is Painter 2015, which is now very old. So much has changed since then including brush engines and algorithms. However, as newer versions of Painter contain the brush libraries of old versions, the users of the newer versions should be able to follow the course.

Good rundown of the basics of the software. Won't teach you how to draw, so don't expect art lessons here. Just gives you the basics of transferring those skills to digital with Painter.

This is a good overview and a lot of the information is helpful for Painter 2021 but it is six years out of date. We need a more current how to use painter than 6 years old. I'm just saying.

For someone who has never used Corel painter before, I am finding it almost impossible to follow, as the video edits are to short and jumpy. But I feel main thing that lets this down, is it is to out dated for what I am using (Painter 2020) the difference between (Painter 2015) is to greater jump for a beginner to follow.

Good introduction for someone like me who hasn't used corel painter before. A little too fast paced for me but clear and helpful. I have the 2021 version and desktop looks different.

Too fast, speaks too fast and moves on quickly. I think maybe too endepth for a start learning of Coral. I have tried certain things that he has done but checking everything is set correctly do not get the same construction?

This was an informative course. Being new to Corel Painter I found it very useful in getting my head around some of the more technical shortcuts of the program. I enjoyed the instruction, it is very straight forward.

it's way too short , I start a module by the time I'm getting into it, it's over to the next chapter, so explanations of what ever the subject is, are lacking substance, in my opinion are too limited. If it's about money, make a video with substantial information, and charge accordingly. But I do appreciated what I learned. Thanks.

Best instructor yet. Clear,thorough, does not assume that your already know something. Lovely manner.

I do not recommend this course. The artwork used to promote the class is misleading. Yes, you will learn about some of the tools in Corel Painter but you will not learn about becoming a digital artist nor is the quality of the artwork/painting techniques shown in this course on a professional level.

I like the organization of the course topics, can get back to a topic that you would like to review again very easily.

This tutorial is well produced but is not 3 hours ad advertised on Corels website and is only around 2. Also almost half way through I couldn't do part of the tutorial as not having the needed .jpg used in the tutorial. And there was no clear place to download it. The Corel website also said I needed Painter 2016, but this course is done for Painter 2015 so there are slight differences. Course is ok for a total digital and Painter beginner.

As an artist who is completely new to the world of digital art I found this course a great confidence builder. I understand that there is still along way to go but practice makes perfect. I am now off to the next course with a better knowledge base than before. Thank you for a great course. Greg

The immersion into the program by using actual painting scenario was a genius way to teach the class. I was impressed by how much I didn't know about a program I've used for years. Kudos
