Here is a new fast painting done with Painter X. It was for the new weekly challenge at the Digital Painting Forum.

In case you missed the beginning of Marilyn Sholins “Art of Selling Art” presentation at WPPI this year, here it is! This was the talk of the convention!
Here is the video showing what happened at WPPI in Las Vegas this year! This was shown at the beginning of the program…..but, well, you will see what we are talking about!

Thanks to Joe Piazzo for his creativity and fun for this project. I look forward to working with him again!

Here is a photo from down the street but taken from my front door yesterday. And with it is the Digital Painting done in Corel Painter X of the image. This was done very fast, very easy and you can do it too. Learn how at the WORKSHOP!!

The ASHEVILLE BEGINNER Painter X is filling up already! We have a special event planned with it for great breakfasts and lunches and snacks and a great Goodie Bag full of things you will want! Surprises for all who attend!

This is the best way to learn Digital Painting. Hands on with a Corel Painter Master at the computer with you over your shoulder! Come have fun with us at this very special event.

For the rest of the family:  Michael’s Media Room will be open during the workshop or you can go play golf during the day and come back later! Or take the kids to the close by lakes or canoeing or one of the many other things to do in the Smoky Mountains in the summer.

Kitty Kitty Digital Painting with a cool mosaic background. Mostly conte brushes and my own Marilyn Rainbow brush inside the ears. Had fun painting this one and I hope you can see her smile.

One of the many chickens at JR’s Mountain Learning School in Whittier, NC. Can’t wait to get back there and paint some more of these fun critters. Watch for my new dates for 2008 for the next three day photography and painting workshop there. We are going to combine photography, digital painting, print on canvas and stretch them and paint and use mediums on the final canvas all in one workshop!

Here’s a site that uses flash and ingenuity and intelligence to create a world you can join just by clicking away at the words. You can become a BUG in a sink and join a room with other bugs. The words keep flowing, keep clicking them and eventually you will find out that after a few hours Nobodys Home.

This site is really ingenious….have fun at IT.

1. The word DIGITAL
2. Having to choose the OUTPUT
3. RESOLUTION
4. People who think it’s EASY
5. People who think it’s NOT ART but they adore Andy Warhol
6. That there are so many CHOICES
7. People who look away when the word DIGITAL is attached to the word ART
8. That brush control is just sooooo important just like the real world!
9. That even when the final canvas has hand embellishing on it, they still say DIGITAL
10. That so many are “doing it” and “doing it” really, really WELL!

Okay, it’s close enough to October 15th. Go get your Rainbow Brush!

Click HERE and get it.

Have Fun and send me some paintings done with it!

I was first introduced to this movie by Jeremy Sutton at a workshop. I can’t thank him enough for the introduction and I have been fascinated by it ever since. Watching the movie is like being inside one of the greatest artists of all times brain and the thought process is not so far from my own or others I have known.

 The Mystery of Picasso is a MUST have for all artists of any media.
