Learning Corel Painter X with Jeremy Sutton by Corel

Since its introduction, Corel Painter has redefined the parameters of digital art and given visual artists an entirely new medium for exploring their creativity. With every subsequent version of Painter, the boundaries of digital painting have expanded even further.

Corel Painter X - the world's most powerful Natural-Media painting and illustration software - features unique digital brushes, art materials and textures that mirror the look and feel of their traditional counterparts. Setting the standard for digital painting and illustration, the Corel Painter X digital art studio introduces new composition tools, unparalleled performance, and the all-new RealBristle painting system that models traditional brushes like never before - right down to the individual bristles on the brush!
