hi stecyk,

Actually, there are a number of them and the more we have the better. I think it would also help this forum to be in touch with them and by doing that, attract people to this forum as well.

Not that I haven't mentioned them before.. or not that I won't continue to.. but here's a short list:

I hesitate to post a very lengthy Painter Community resource list that I've compiled over the past year or two, but if anyone wants it, please write to me at jinbrown@pixelalley.com and I'll be happy to send it to you. Many Painter users on other lists have requested it and I always send it to them right away.

It contains all of the above listed forums and more, including Painter artists' websites many of which offer free nozzles, paper textures, patterns, and tutorials. In addition, contact information for Corel Painter is listed including a direct e-mail address to Tanya Staples, Corel Painter Product Manager, who, by the way, has been extremely helpful and responsive.

Since it's several pages long.. it would bog down this thread to post it here. I hope you all write and ask for it because it will be helpful to you if you're really interested in using and enjoying Painter.

Best wishes, [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
