Carver discovered Painter in 1995. With his unique approach to portraiture augmented with the use of Painter, Carver created his Renaissance Portraiture. His style is reminiscent of the master portraitists of old but with his own touch of style. Carver markets life size Renaissance Portraits with Painter.

With Painter, you now have the technology that allows you to unleash the creativity the Master Painters have always wanted; Realism and impressionism at the same time. With Painter, you can unleash the Renaissance in you.

This two hour program will introduce you the the workings of Painter 9 and will show you some of the unique powers Painter 9 has to help the photographer create wonderful works of art!!
