Gotta pack the bags and move into new digs over at the new Paint Outside the Frame Blog. Everything that is on this blog is archived and saved and moved over to the new spot. So it’s time to say goodbye to Blogsome and say hello to Wordpress. The blog is spiffed up with Tag Clouds and even some Amazon books floating around there recommended by me. It’s really a great new place to find all your Painter X Tutorials information and the latest on artists that use Corel Painter X. So come on over to the Paint Outside the Frame Blog and please feel free to comment there!

I can’t wait to leave for the Niagara School of Imaging to teach Painter for a week! What the website doesn’t tell you all about is that I am bringing tons of
goodies with me to do hand embellishing and play with gold leafing and other techniques so that everyone will leave with a finished canvas!
Classes start Sunday August 19th and end Thursday the 23rd. That is a lot of time for us to be digitally painting and finishing art.
Last year we really had a blast there! Be sure to check out the Sarasota blog post to see some of what we will be doing in Niagara. Let me know if you are coming!!

It’s not often in my own workshops I get to create a finished piece of art, but I did in Sarasota at the DTC workshop with this piece done there in a combination of Corel Painter X and Photoshop printed on fine art canvas and then hand embellished with embossing, gold leafing paint, ink and gold leaf and painted. The sad thing is I left the piece there and will need to do it again to have it hanging in my own private collection.
My thanks to Barney Davey for posting on the Digital Painting Forum a kick in the pants to write more by sharing the CopyBlogger site with us. All kicks in the pants are welcome! Next workshops live and in person coming up that will have finished pieces of art are in Niagara in a few weeks. What’s better than Niagara Falls on the Canada side in the summer and Niagara on the Lake? Register ASAP! Next best thing is the Smoky Mountains in fall. So beautiful it will make you cry! We will be doing finished framed pieces of art there also! After that I head to San Jose, Calif. to Paul Tumasons studio where we will do advanced Corel Painter X techniques and also work on finished pieces. This workshop is almost sold out, so register now. Just got word yesterday we are adding seminars and workshops to the London UK January dates at SWPP. Looks like we are going to be cranking in January, February and March. I had better get my Wonder Woman costume out and dust it off to get some magic going.

This is a video of the workshop we just finished at the Digital Technology Centre in Sarasota. The next one scheduled there is in February 2008 and it’s already booking! On the third day we did hand embellishing the prints with medium gel,embossing,paint,goldleaf, gold leaf pens and gold leaf paint and more. All these beautiful canvas started out as digital files painted in Corel Painter X. Everyone went home with a printed canvas finished painting. That was so much fun we are going to do it again in Niagara at the Niagara School of Imaging and then again in North Carolina at the Smoky Mountain Learning Center in October.

Here are also some of the paintings we did there. Many attendees finished multiple paintings in the three days!

And one more for you to enjoy of the beautiful digital art that then became multi media hand embellished finished canvas.

After seeing all this, I’m sure you might be thinking you would like to come to one of the Marilyn Painter Workshops. You CAN!!

What a set up JR has at the Mountain Learning Center. We had such a great time with everyone that we are going back October 1,2 &3 for an even bigger and better workshop, if that’s possible!! Advanced Painter and JR will print them out …we will do work on top of our canvas (arts and crafts time…bring aprons!) and then JR will frame them for everyone!! Take home your masterpiece!
Having the kids and two new sets of kittens around was just the extra bonus plus the delicious meals they provided. This location has it all being right on top of Smoky Mountain National Park makes it a beautiful retreat.
See the students work……these were all done in the few days we had together.
