Official Corel Painter magazine and website launches today!

Imagine Publishing is proud to welcome the new addition to its successful creative magazine portfolio

The Official Corel Painter Magazine is the only magazine in the world that’s dedicated to the Corel Painter software. This phenomenal program allows users to create natural media effects and is widely used by professionals in the photography, computer games, film and fine arts industry. Thanks to its libraries of brushes, users can get the same look as if they were using traditional art media on a canvas, effectively turning your computer into a digital art studio.

Aimed at computer savvy readers who are already familiar with image-editing programs, the Official Corel Painter Magazine explains how to get the most from this fantastic software by delivering an inspirational mixture of tutorials, features, advice and interviews each month.

The magazine’s tutorials provide step-by-step instruction on how to achieve a certain artistic style, and there are targeted guides for tools and commands in the program, giving the readers a better understanding of the software. Regular features examine a creative topic each issue and the inspirational interviews give readers an insight into how professionals create their jaw-dropping art.

The Official Corel Painter Magazine is perfectly complemented by its companion website – www.paintermagazine.co.uk – which allows registered users to create online galleries and upload their digital masterpieces so that other members of the community can rate and comment on them. The innovative new website also boasts a reader forum, downloadable tutorial files and regular competitions.

“Excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this magazine,” said the magazine’s Editor, Jo Cole. “Because Corel Painter offers so much possibility in terms of style and creative potential, it means we have a phenomenal amount of options when it comes to magazine content. We’re determined to give readers the skills they need to not only become a better Corel Painter user, but to also become a better artist in general. The magazine and website will also give digital artists a place to come and find inspiration, advice and to meet like-minded people.”
