Fractured Realism, the Tutorial
How to Use the Brayers and Wax Brushes, the tutorial is finally here! Over two and a half hours in length, this thorough and easy to follow recording shows you how to utilize Corel Painter 2020's powerful dab stencil functionality to bring your digital paintings into a new level of "organic" texture! I've always wanted to paint a more "fractured" interpretation, oddly, wanting less control in Corel Painter. I wanted my brushes and painting to react to each other with tension. With natural breaks. This is possible now! And it's changed my workflow forever.

"I've been working through the videos from Heather's wonderful new tutorial for her beautiful Brayer and wax brushes and textures. Before starting, I was working on a portrait and thought I'd maybe incorporate some of the new goodies. But I just stopped the project and have slowly worked through the videos. They are spectacular and supply endless possibilities, most especially if you enjoy textures, which I certainly do. The extra videos showing real time background creation and the last one with brush information were very much appreciated. I love making backgrounds. It is a lot of information but so clearly presented. You are a gifted teacher. I truly appreciate your efforts and your teachings."

Prior Painting Experience Not Requied
Whether you're opening Corel Painter for the first time, or you've been creating with her for several seasons, there is something for every comfort level.
You just need to provide Corel Painter, a pressure sensitive tablet (such as a Wacom tablet and pen), and a computer that meets Corel's minimum requirements.
Oh, and your favorite cup of tea.
Please note the Brayers and Wax tutorial is not a beginner level tutorial. It is HIGHLY recommended you start at Heather's Intro to Painter 2018, and the Classical Portrait webinar replay.
Pair any of Heather's "acids" for an exquisite textural complement with the Brayers and Wax technique!
This painting was created utilizing the techniques and workflow taught in the Brayers and Wax tutorial using the Brayers and Wax brushes and a few Everyday brushes in Corel Painter 2021 and a Wacom Intuos Pro medium tablet (plus Art pen). The "October Acids Fall Edition" backgrounds were incorporated in the prep file and clone source.
See What Students Are Saying
"Mentoring with Heather was one of the best investments I have made in a very long time! I was nervous with my complete lack of previous painting experience but felt 100% comfortable and assured throughout the entire process. Heather catered her method of teaching to my learning style and made the process easy for me to understand and so much fun. I left feeling inspired and confident that I could take home the skills I learned and improve on my newly acquired painting skills at home!"
