Sample painting by lynda.com author John Derry, using his new Artists’ Brushes available for Photoshop CS5.

lynda.com author John Derry recently released a new set of Artists’ Brushes to work within Photoshop CS5. There are some really incredible examples of paintings done by users on his blog, as well as a preview of what these new Brushes are capable of.

John will be demoing these new Artists’ Brushes at the Southern California Adobe Technology Exchange in Long Beach on Saturday, June 19, and will be giving out a copy or two to lucky attendees. He will be co-teaching a Photoshop painting class with Russell Brown at the upcoming HOW Design Conference June 6-9. Class members will receive the brushes as a part of the class materials. There is still time to sign up for both of these events.

John will be back in the lynda.com booths later this month and we can’t wait to share the new training he’s working on with you.

Also announced today, is the award honored to John by the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) as a Photographic Craftsman.
