Hi Dalila,

Check this thread where I just posted tutorial info for Painter Essentials 3:

got a wacom intuos - and now?

Also, here are a couple of tutorials by Susi Lawson, written for Photoshop 7, that you may be able to adapt to use with your software once you understand the program. If not, at least these tutorials may give you some idea of how Susi works to achieve her results:
