Artist's Comments

The first of a few tutorials on my all-time favourite art program, Open Canvas 1.1.

This is the boring technical, starting-out tutorial designed for noobs or people who don't know the program very well. It's also a vast file. I hope it's not too patronising, and at least partially helpful.

Part Two - Learning to Paint in Open Canvas - is now up and located here: [link]

Hey, no problem! I kinda enjoyed it! :D Working on part two at the moment...

Sorry it took so long. Life has been incredibly stressful these last two months. It is now, finally, beginning to look up a bit. Things can only get better.

great tutorial! I think people dont pay attention to this old, yet effective program.

Share art with others, but remember that though you share it, it is still your own work, your thoughts, your feelings. Keep only your own expecations in mind to unlock your true potential. You are your worst critic. Use it as an advantage.

It's very good in it's own small way. Muzzoid asked me to make a proper tutorial out of the notes I wrote up a www. polykarbon. com ages ago - I've only just gotten round to it. XD
