![]() One of the things I liked about the course is that Duane explains how he customizes the brushes, so you learn how to do the adjustments on your own. Less free, Duane Wooters has a Corel Painter 2018 course on Udemy (where almost every course is $11 if you Google for the coupon code) which comes with a Bob Ross-inspired brushset and tutorials on how to use them for three landscapes. There's a handful of others, but Skip is the one who seems to push the envelope the most and, well, free is a wonderful deal. If you're looking for more brushes, Skip Allen has a bunch for free on his blog. He also has a Landscape Painting course on Gumroad that starts at $5 and comes with a slightly more limited workspace, but most of the brushes. If you want something closer to a trial experience, Aaron offers his workspaces at the $10 level of his Patreon, so it doesn't cost you much to get to use the current version of his workspace even if you only subscribe for one month. And honestly, you can follow most of his videos just using the corresponding generic brush, and you'll learn something in adjusting the brush parameters to get closer to what he's doing. The Image Hoses are nice too, but honestly, image hoses are one of those things where it quickly becomes evident if someone is using a particular package. The main thing that you get from his layout are that he's built his own custom palettes with brush categories and the brushes he most commonly uses. Honestly, that's all that Aaron's setup is, other than him bringing in his own customized brushes (which are themselves largely tweaked versions of brushes that have been available since Painter 2015). Eventually (maybe not too long for most people), you're going to make a Custom Palette with the brushes you commonly use. Right-clicking (usually available on the pen) is very handy for switching within a category. As regards selecting brushes, initially you'll be fine with either the Brush Selector or Brush Selector Panel. I kept the standard toolbars including the Brush Library selector. All I really needed was a handful of brushes, the Brushes property panel, occasionally the Advanced panel, the Color panel, and the Layout panel. Personally, I managed for a good several months on the Classic Layout before I started making my own customizations. Your layout will depend heavily on what you are doing. I am far from an expert myself, but I can give you some advice on my side.
