The art world as we know it is changing, and digital art is gaining a strong foothold in it...come learn the basic tools of the trade, so you won't miss out on all the new possibilities of creating your artwork with digital painting methods.
This is a class based on traditional techniques - but with a digital twist.
Starting with a very simple painting, I will introduce you to the tools you will be using to create your first digital masterpiece, using your ipad, and a simple digital painting program.
Here are some of the things we will be encountering in class:
• which painting software to get - it's a big pond to fish from out there.
• downloading and installing the software to your ipad
• how to create a new file and a new canvas to work with
• Brushes (no mess!) Paint (no drying time! and how to control them
• Sketching,Painting, and Blending
• Resize, Recolor,Remove - how to fix bloopers
• Save, import, export, send the finished painting
• What do do with your finished painting - creating the right file type for social media, printing, etc.
* Next steps on your digital painting journey
Requirements:
• you should know the meanings of the words "file", "copy", "paste", "save", "select"
• patience: new skills take a lot of that.
• humor: life is too short not to laugh at it.
