Painter X Level I
Instructor: Elaina Moore-Kelly
Course Description

Sharon:
"The instructor was wonderful, fun, very helpful and knowledgeable. She kept the class interesting and challenging. She made you want to try new things. Can't wait for the next class!"

Kathy:
"Teacher is concerned about her students, goes beyond to provide resources. She wants us to learn, this is not just a paycheck to her."

Lynn:
"Great instructions for a beginner and a supportive teacher."

Doreen:
"I liked that it really started at the bare basics. I had bought a few books that were also supposed to start at the very beginning but really assumed the reader had some basic knowledge. I certainly appreciated the patience with a computer klutz such as me! Being able to actually create something and understand the steps to getting there was great fun. Despite a couple snags It has been a truly enjoyable experience."

Donna:
[Liked best:] "The instructor. She was extremely supportive of everyone...and gently chided me when I degraded the content of my assignments because I'm no artist and she refused to accept that (she was more than generous).

"The instruction was fantastic and very well presented. Although I'm extremely familiar with Photoshop, this was a journey into art I never thought I'd take and I really did learn a lot about how this program works and where its place is in the digital art world.

"I know I'll never be an artist, but I sure learned a thing or two about creating it with Elaina's able assistance."

Vicki:
"Elaina's written instructions and explanations are excellent. Her quick response to inquiries are well-thought out and easily understood - something important when learning a complex program like Painter. She is a good instructor for this class."

Marquee:
"This was a terrific learning experience. I had never done anything with Painter X. It was given to me as a gift, and I wasn't certain I had any use for it. This Course changed my mind! I learned a lot and really enjoyed it."

Kate:
"The communication with the instructor was excellent. The instructor herself was wonderful - very well organized, super feedback, and lots of encouragement."

Pam Biagi:
"The instructions were good, with great screen shots and examples so that I knew what I was going for. Also, Elaina was quick at responding to questions and concerns, which I appreciated."

Nathalie Fedo::

Kathy Beach:
[Liked best:] "I could go at my own pace. (I did not have time to post examples, but classes were explained in a way that they were easy to grasp and understand)"

Dianne Paine:
"Dianne PaineI live in Australia, and at present I am unaware of any course being available for PainterX in my country.

"This course was clearly laid out in a logical and clear manner. The lessons give a good introduction on how to start using PainterX which is exactly what I had been looking for. By having the classes a week apart gave me the opportunity to finish the homework and also do some practise on my own.

"Elaina was delightful to work with and was always available to answer any questions that I had. I am confident that I will be able to use what I have learnt now on my own."

Julie Lanier:
"I hadn't even installed Painter X in my computer prior to this class. Now, I'm creating art that I never felt was possible, and painter X and this course made that all possible."

Vera de Kooker-Nijst:
[Liked best:] "Great teacher and well written lessons. I have learned a lot in a short time. Enjoyed every minute."

Carol:
"The lessons were so easy to follow. Elaina has written the lessons so they move fluidly and she has the sequence right as she moves from one thing to another. She doesn't jump around in her instructions. A is first and B is second and so on and she doesn't give you the directions for Z first. Her instructions are clear and concise while at the same time explaining everything more than adequately."

Sherryll:
"The class interaction with all the students was excellent, you could just read along or join in, no pressure either way.

"Elaina was wonderful, very informative and helpful at all times, gave excellent feed back to each and every homework that was uploaded.

"I would definitely participate here again at LVSonline and get some friends to come along. The PDF's each week are fabulous and easy to follow along and handy to look back down the track and read up again on things."

Sally:
"It was so informative! And Elaina has made it fun. I have really learned a lot and look forward to a continuation class."

Lynn Elias:
"The course material was very well written and presented. Clear, step by step instructions so that you understand the various features fully.

"Elaina (the instructor) is quick to respond to questions and makes sure you understand her answer. Her feedback on work done is very helpful. All in all, an excellent course and I look forward to part II."

Wendy:
"The lessons are well written and do a great job in cohesively making the program understood . . . even to someone who has no idea of the logistics involved in painting. The program by itself is simply overwhelming and Elaina has managed to "translate" it effectively for her students. I guess what I am trying to say is the best part of the course has been being able to understand Painter and to actually "paint" with it. Elaina's support and encouragement is also appreciated, as she continues to profess that anyone can draw with a little hard work and instruction. Even me . . . as evidenced by my recently acquired surrealistic painting technique. (Probably an overuse of the blending brushes) Great introductory class!"

Betsy Lahaussois:
"The informal but clear presentation, the pacing, and the instant feedback from Elaina, even for questions not entirely within the scope of the syllabus."

Nita Mata:
"I was so impressed by the clear, concise written instructions, backed up by visual aids, by the instructor; each lesson was very easy to follow. The amount of information was more than expected; all of which will be so useful to refer back to in the future. Elaina is a superb teacher and I wouldn't hesitate to take any class she teaches. Her sequential teaching style makes it easy to understand a very complicated program."

Susie Cancio:
This class is way better than I could have imagined it would be...WAY awesome! I would say it's at least twice as good as Karen's had been last time (same class). I know I didn't have time, but the coursework was not that in-depth then.

"I really enjoyed the pace and way things were described. I also enjoyed Elaina's ability and desire to answer all questions."

Ann Richter:
"I liked the straight forward way Elaina described all the different functions of the Painter program. I am getting older and the brain is a bit addled at times, but I found the instructions easy to follow."

Ricardo:
[Liked best:] "Concepts first then practice. Good method.."
