About

For many years now I have enjoyed working with natural media watercolors as well as digital watercolors. I have learned to express myself by experimenting constantly and pushing the limits of both natural media and digital media. Recently I have been experimenting with digital embellishing. This is the process of scanning in traditional media watercolor paintings and enhancing them using the digital counterpart. This process enables me to save traditional watercolor paintings that  otherwise could not be saved and ultimately thrown away, and digitally enhancing them. The paintings can then be printed as fine art prints or used for greeting cards.

I am currently offering several classes at Digital Art Academy as well as workshops from my forum Painter Talk and Painter Talk Studios. Please see my Workshop and Class schedule on this site.

I am currently serve on the Advisory Board for Corel Painter am a Corel Painter Master,  and served on the Beta 11 and 12 team. I founded Digital Art Academy, and have been teaching digital painting for over 10 years. I hope that you will consider trying digital painting, it has been a wonderful journey for me.

Painter Master, Karen Bonaker
