![]() Do go to Corel Painter Essentials 5 web site and check out all the new stuff added to this version of Essentials. I hardly touch oil brushes anymore, but Melissa made me…just kidding. I did a quick watercolor from scratch and a auto-painting with some extra brush work using oil type brushes. Melissa and I barely touched the features included with Essentials 5. It is an extremely rich program for a small price. After playing for a while, we decided to record the rest of the session and share with you.Ĭorel Painter Essentials 5 is and upgrade to Corel’s popular Painter Essentials 4. Melissa Gallo and I were having a Go To Meeting, and we started playing with the new Corel Painter Essentials 5. The first image isn’t complete…it is a simple sketch that was never meant to be seen, but I am going to show it. The action is at first accidental, but with practice is controllable. In one case, I am looking at how the paint flows and blends together smoothly, but in another painting I am looking for the flow to crash into paint already applied and disrupt it, not blend with it. I already knew how they behave when working in my normal manner, but now I am looking for a different look and feel from the same brushes. The first image isn’t like his work at all I was just trying out a few brushes and looking at the way the media flowed. With the work of Gao Xingjian as my inspiration, I tried my hand at digital ink or watercolor washes. I sit quietly with my thoughts and enjoy. It is contemplative, and that is what I do when looking at his work. I cannot describe his work, or at least, I cannot describe his work in a way that does it justice. Do take a look at Gao Xingjian on Artnet or google the images of Gao Xingjian. Recently I discovered the work of Gao Xingjian, who according to Wikipedia “is a Chinese émigré novelist, playwright, and critic who in 2000 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature “for an oeuvre of universal validity, bitter insights and linguistic ingenuity.” I do not know anything about his writing I discovered his traditional visual art. I do find it interesting that I cannot find folks working in this style digitally. ![]() For me, they are two different media and really are not comparable. And please, I don’t want to get into a discussion on the pros and cons of working traditionally versus digitally. But, I’m sure working digitally is vastly different in feeling from working traditionally. I have to admit that I love the practice. I’ve never been trained in either, just read a few books, watched a lot of You Tube tutorials, and practiced myself. If you have followed the blog, then you know I love Asian style paintings, especially Chinese brush work and Japanese Sumi-e. ![]() During this preliminary painting, I am making brushes and tweaking the process. Some are successful and others not so successful it is all part of the process. I am saying that before a post, I have to do a lot of paintings. Well, today, I thought you might be interested in seeing what leads up to a post about how to do stuff. Normally I post information about stuff Corel Painter or Wacom Tablet related, as well as tutorials on how to do stuff.
