Life is full of sadness so I try to add a little happiness in these pages.  I let people know I am legally blind so they will be happy to be nothing more than average.
  My background is in journalism and photography. My artistic experience is zero until I started to paint qfter I bought Corel Painter in early 2011.
I painted with the digital brushes easily, whereas real brushes and paints were impossible because of my poor vision.  I painted 15 hours a day for three years and  I still haven't used all the features of the software.
I do not consider myself as a natural artist because i  was not born with the natueal talent. Even the simplest of tasks takes houts of practice for me.

 I learned by trying every brush.
Thwew are many things that are not so obvious in the software that took me 2 years to find. 
My best tip to use the software is learning how to paste other photos from your files on to a blank workspace or a layer in one of your paintings to go by or use the same colors.
If you can see it on the internet, you can copy it and paste it to Painter.


By the way, I'm actually bald on top. 
I'm wearing a wig as a joke...
  what else did you expect? If you want to ask me a question write mitchhnichols@gmail.com


Oh...I sleep late so it may be a while before I answer. May the force be with you.
