You may use them within your artwork, but please don't repackage and sell them as standalone transparent files. I have seen my backgrounds sold as backgrounds on Etsy before. Please don't do it.

The Backgrounds and Backgrounds Collections may be used as layers, or textures while editing your artwork for both commercial (ie: photography studio needing to change a backdrop in their portrait subject's edit) and personal use. The backgrounds/textures may not be (modified or not) shared, repackaged, resold, copied, or redistributed in any way to be distributed as backgrounds/backdrops/textures. This is agreed upon download. Backgrounds may not be sold, licensed, or distributed in a way that permits Licensee’s end users to extra or access the backgrounds as a stand alone file or PRINTED.

REFRESHER - The Classical Portrait REPLAY

 

 What you'll get:

  • Access to Heather's REPLAY 60 min webinar session
  • Access to the digital replay for the life of the online library
  • Intro to Corel Painter 2021 replay in your online library
  • Invitation to join Heather's private Facebook group of students
  • Guide image used in the webinar (may only be used for personal education)

It may have been some time since you've painted regularly in Corel Painter or maybe you're new. In this 60 minute REPLAY webinar, Heather will return to the traditional style portrait (the face) using her "Everyday" brushes. If you need a refresher in painting this is for you! A concrete understanding of traditional rules lays the groundwork to break them when exploring heavier styles successfully! A tremendous emphasis on how to customize your brush(es) between "blendy" smooth and slightly chunky is covered in this class. 

*Please note there is no prize giveaway in the replay that is mentioned in the LIVE webinar.

Heather is an Elite Corel Painter Master, Certified Corel Painter Educator, Golden Artist Educator, retired PPA IPC juror, PPA Master Artist, M. Photog, Cr. 

Here is the image painted in the webinar

Heather spends the majority of the time explaining the face, primarily the brushes used/settings/options in the skin in the areas of transition. A great deal of time is spent in explaining the thought behind simple brush customizations to control detail and smoothness in the brush selections when shifting between large areas of skin (cloning and in color). Plus, Heather shows you how to paint eyes, eyelashes, and even talks about painting hair. 

Please note as this is a refresher course, it is impossible to finish an entire head in 60 minutes in an educational manner so this is not a finished head. However, the video will show you how to approach the primary areas of the face and hair.
