These are basic, how-to's in Photoshop or Corel Painter for the beginner to intermediate.  
They are not fantastic, but are easy to follow.  Also, my techniques have evolved over the
course, and I don't paint everything the same. Look for future tutorials here.  I plan to add
several more.  Enjoy.

I use #19 in the set for

fades on the ends of the
strokes for better blending.
