All materials are copyright 2025 @ Heather Michelle Chinn and may not be shared, distributed, re-packaged, sold, or handed out without expressed, written permission from Heather Michelle Chinn. While these may be used in your edited, flattened files for your photographic edits, they may not be submitted to your photography (or ANY) clients as layered files. These backgrounds, or other content, (in whole or in part) may NOT be sold, distributed, or used as a base to create variations or "new" backgrounds in any manner to be printed or sold to background companies without expressed, written permission from Heather Michelle Chinn at Heather@HeatherThePainter.com
 
You agree to terms of use upon download which include not sharing, selling, or re-packaging these documents in any form to be used as stand alone products. 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.

Backgrounds, textures, collections, or any files downloaded from this site (including the online library) MAY NOT BE UPLOADED INTO ANY AI (artificial intelligence) programs such as but not limited to Midjourney, Dall-E, NightCafe, Images.ai, Deep Dream Generator, ArtBreeder, StableCog, DeepAI, StarryAI, and/or FOTOR. This is agreed upon download. You are encouraged to either use the backgrounds in your photographic edits, OR to use them as painterly bases to take into a program where a human user controls the brushwork in the digital painting such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter for a client file (subject over top of the background in a flattened delivered file). 

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. Each purchase is copyright protected and only available for a single user. All backgrounds remain property of Heather Michelle Chinn.

Innovative Contours and Colors in the Style of Sargent 2025 REPLAY

 

 

Webinar REPLAY

What you'll receive:

  • Access to the digital replay for the life of the online library (streaming)
  • Invitation to join Heather's private Facebook group of students
  • Full resolution reference file to practice alongside the replay
  • Heather's painted file in full resolution to study the brushwork  
  • Heather's 18 Sargent Brushes (compatible with Corel Painter 2021 and newer!) 
  • Heather's Intro to Painter 2021 tutorial (compatible with 2021 and newer)

In this 90 minute webinar replay Heather will demonstrate how she uses her custom brushes, Corel's layering, balancing free hand with cloning, and color theory to work out planes of the Sargent portrait. How do you select colors? What edges do you keep? Which do you soften? Which blenders should you entertain for this style? How do you paint fabric less photographically? Hair? Lips?

Does this translate to Photoshop or other painting programs? YES! The brushes are not compatible but the theory is!

Learn the tools and you choose your style. You'll learn tricks to work in right brain mode and paint less "photographic" while maintaining the likeness of your model. The guide image, finished file, brushes, and texture will be supplied. AI/Filters will not be used. 

 

Sargent's Lady Agnew is an excellent inspiration (seen below)

(this is not my painting! This is Sargent's Lady Agnew)

Let's paint this image!

See how Heather arrives HERE in the replay AND receive her two high resolution painted files to study the brushwork!

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