About Me
Karen Bonaker
I am a Corel Elite Painter Master, Certified Painter Instructor, and a long-standing member of the Corel Painter Advisory Board.
I was once like you, I painted traditionally but became curious about digital painting, and I had to start somewhere. I discovered Corel Painter twenty years ago and have since enjoyed creating digital images. I believe traditional art principles can be applied digitally to produce artwork that defies distinction. With patience, perseverance, and practice, you too can learn to paint digitally! Let's get started!
With my traditional art background and state-of-the-art skills, I have been able to bridge two worlds and teach students how to apply traditional painting techniques to the digital canvas working with Painter. I believe everyone can draw and paint, but they need to learn how to progress. I saw that need within the digital art community, and I founded the Digital Art Academy in 2007 to help students achieve their artistic goals.
