Course Description

Hi, welcome to Learn Paintstorm for digital painting where you will learn how to navigate and use Paintstorm. I’m Neil Fontaine, a professional painter both digitally and traditionally with over 73,000 happy students.

I will teach you everything you need to know about how to use Painstorm for digital painting.

By the end of this course, you will fully understand how to use Painstorm so you can start creating wonderful pieces of art.

In this course, we will learn how to create new brushes, how to customize brushes, how to use all the tools to create traditional-looking paintings. That is where this software excels and why it is my favorite painting software. The way Painstorm blends colors makes me feel like I am painting. No other software does that for me, which allows me to use traditional techniques.

This course is for the beginning to the advanced painter that wishes to use this awesome software and have more fun painting traditional looking paintings. Feel free to look through the course. I will see you inside.

Instructor Details

Neil Fontaine

I'm a best selling author on Amazon for "How to Draw Awesome Figures."

I studied art at different schools, one of them being a community college in San Jose, Ca. Over the years, subjects in art finally clicked. I teach these subjects in ways that make it easy to grasp. It's hard to brag about myself, but students have written me emails saying how they have learned more from me than they did in art schools, art schools such as Academy of Arts in San Franscico. That blew my mind because it's supposed to be a great school. 

I also sell abstract paintings that I painted while meditating. A recent painting sold for $10,963. If enough art students ask, I will make a course on how to abstract paint. You can see my paintings at saatchiArt

I'm also a writer that has sold novels.

Good intro to Paintstorm. Not a lot of tutorials out there for this very underrated program so stumbling upon this one is a lifesaver! While I would've wanted it to go more in depth it does a good enough job of getting you up to speed with the essentials. Super excited to use the program now!

Mr. Neil just flawlessly taught this course, where you can hardly get tutorials of this underrated software although this doesn't compete to Photoshop. But I hope this software can compete to PS like blender.

Çok hızlı konuşuyor. 0.5 hızda bile çok hızlı. bilmek ve öğretebilmek farklı şeyler. Başka öğretici yok. Mecbur kaldım.

I had actually never heard of Paintstorm before, have only ever used Photoshop or Krita for digital painting. When I was searching through courses I saw one on How To Paint like Bob Ross. When I checked the course out it said that a pre requisite for the course was this one. I was shocked to see that it was free. I want to Paintstorm website and downloaded the trial. This course is great. The instructor highlights only the most important tools that are needed to get started right away to do paint with this program. He gives examples, often gives a few ways to accomplish the same result so you can figure out what you like best and what works best for you. I bought the Bob Ross class and can't wait to get started it on it!

Very practical introduction to the platform with a focus on the essentials. This is a good training program to help you decide if Paintstorm is the right painting platform for you.

Great course. Neil is an excellent instructor and I am now able to easily use Paintstorm with the knowledge Neil has passed on. Thanks for a great course.

By Anton Doorman on 11/18/2020

Hij gaat er uitgebreid op de tools etc. in en dat is oké. De meeste tutorials gaat er te oppervlakkig op in . Helemaal top dus. Bravo Neil.

So far it is good experience navigating inside the software and having idea about its different functionalities.

By John A. Romberger on 8/1/2020

I am not a very experienced graphics user. I appreciate that Niel has an extensive knowledge of what he's teaching, but I lost much of the content. He moves the cursor too fast and, sometimes, without explanation as to what he is doing. He also speaks fast, and, as an old man, I find it hard to catch all he says. The scripts provided have too many errors to compensate for this problem.

By Merle J. Fager on 5/25/2020

This course has the perfect pacing for me. Having experience in similar programs I am able to get up to speed easily.
