How would you like to use Photoshop in exciting new ways? Wouldn’t you rather finish your work in Photoshop sooner rather than later? And instead of boring classes of laying out paragraphs and repairing bad photos, how would you like to be on your way to mastering Photoshop by painting and coloring?

The Pixel Pintura Workshops guarantee that you will discover Photoshop secrets that will enhance not just how you create a digital painting masterpiece but also everyday work in:

• rendering animation backgrounds,
• applying comic book colors and lettering,
• creating 2D game art, interface, and assets for 3D,
• graphic design,
• illustration
• enhancing architectural perspectives and interiors
• laying out graphics – that’s right!

Each student gets an intensive hands-on experience and real-time feedback particular to their level and style. While other schools would need at least 3 students to start a class, at Pixel Pintura you can have the teacher all to yourself! That’s added value for your money! We keep the classes tight at a maximum 3 students to keep those standards.
