You must first Download the Samples.zip and Presets.zip folders for this CD. Follow the instructions in the accompanying Readme files.
 
Helpful Notes:
All of the Tutorials use 100% Opacity unless otherwise specified. Color bars in the Menu can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the Titles. I have included a separate Help program enbedded in the Menu titled Help Index. Clicking it will launch this program in a separate window. It can help define some of Photoshop's basic functions.
 
Inspirational View-
In the summer of 1985, I was enrolled in college attending classes for a Graphic Arts degree. Up to this point, all of the art I had ever Created was merely Drawing with colored pencils. The work was good, but it lacked the realism I wished to obtain. Then one day in class the instructor instructed us to go out and get paint and brushes because painting was on the agenda, Aughhhh! what a sinking feeling my stomach exhibited at just the thought of those words! It was sheer fear.
 
I knew Nothing about painting and was not interesting in learning this New activity at all. The first project entailed scaling a Larger Canvas from a small photo using grids. Then instead of painting the image as a whole, just blocks were painted resembling smaller pieces of the photo one at a time until the image became complete.
 
Well the very first painting ended up being so much more realistic to anything I had accomplished earlier that I never returned to just drawing. In my latter years, Drawings are only used as quick sketches now, the basis for great paintings! Pandora's box had Opened for me and I had finally found the correct medium to reveal my soul.
 
My advice here is to keep your mind Open to new things, you might just be very, very suprised at what you will find!
 
With the invent of the Home PC's, painting has become so much easier now with no clean-up at the end. Most of my work is now done digitally. After college I worked 10 years in the Photography industry extending my skills and now work professionally as a Technical Writer for a prominent company located in Philadelphia.
 
Cover Art:
The Cover was created in Poser 6 and post edited in Photoshop CS2. Here I would like to express my gratitude to the various suppliers that helped create the final image.
