if your a painter - time and practice. and the same goes for digital. but we need more info about what it is you do. nothing will make it faster or easier. art is hard.

i like painting and i paint time to time even though i'm still studing in college but being in FAA. I want to know much more about latest or modern things in painting before i start independently on my own as a painter.

i can't imagine anything that isn't simply a brush, paint and something to put the paint on. even if you use a "painter" software, you still need to know how to paint. corel has a paint program but you still need the skills and it still takes time, it just doesn't need paint. photoshop has a paint brush feature. you can get photo to painting converters, but you need the photo and that takes skill as well.

there are really no easy outs when it comes to these things.

You can order my book "The Art of Painting in Acrylic" published by Walter Foster. It's available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Walter Foster Publishing's website. The book is full of helpful painting techniques. Here are the links;

Picasso said something like, If it is easy it is not worth doing. Don't look for the "Easy" path, work hard and study the great artist of the past and present. Also don't be quick to scoff at art you don't understand. Learn about it prior to judging it. Best of luck, Ron

I cant think of any digital painting apps off hand but I know that youtube is a wealth of information and a very under used tool for artists.

yeah, I don't know of any programs that you don't actually need to know how to paint. just work on finding your style ;)

there is an old apps called " artist assistant" once you became famous and rich you can hire assistants to paint for you. all you need is to sign your name on the finished works.
