Welcome to the new news article series, Learning to Paint Digitally. Since even before I joined the AR Team I have been receiving notes, emails, etc. from fellow deviants asking me how to get started with digital painting and/or mixed media. So, along with my knowledge, and the help of tutorials and resources I hope to bring something truly valuable to those wishing to learn more about painting digitally within Photoshop.
I can't say how many articles will be included in this series, only that each one will be unique and should you wish to participate even more, and take it one step further there will be practice materials suggested at the end of the article, ideally I would love to see the results uploaded so that I can display them and we can see how people are improving and coming along with the help of these "lessons."

As there doesn't seem to be a way to change names here, I'm moving to a new profile, coincident with getting more serious about my photography. This name is irrelevant and has been perceived negatively by some and I need to discard it.
It will take some time to move everything over as I'm taking the opportunity to reprocess many of the photos and color correct, etc. When I'm done, I may delete the duplicates here so that there isn't more than one of them floating around the site, but I feel bad about the comments, favorites, etc. on the current ones, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
I only ever had two watchers here, and I very much respect their opinions and work. If they care to move with me, my new profile is up at gentleworks.deviantart.com/
Thank you.
