Here are some tips and tutorials on using Painter. Some involve cloning to convert photo-realism to traditional painted art, something that's increasingly popular and translates to architectural illustration. Others involve traditional style figurative painting. (This is a WIP, so I'll add when I can. Feel free to add your favorites as well.) Enjoy.
