Since 2013, Aaron Rutten has provided in-person private lessons and consultation to cartoonist, Gary Larson of “The Far Side“. Aaron has helped Gary learn how to transition from drawing traditionally to drawing digitally using a Wacom tablet and software like Rebelle and Corel Painter.
With Aaron’s help, Gary Larson has successfully released 2 calendars featuring his digital cartoons, as well as exclusive digital work on his website: thefarside.com
“Aaron’s deep knowledge of Corel Painter, coupled with his considerable gifts as both an artist and a teacher, were invaluable to me. Digital art was something very alien to me, and I was initially somewhat wary of it — but the path of discovery that Aaron helped put me on has reinvigorated my creative impulses, and made me a true believer in this medium.”

“I find Aaron’s training course to be invaluable. Rebelle 7 is great, and the online manual serves its purpose, but I find nothing is as helpful as an instructor explaining something while demonstrating, and in this case also deepening your understanding of Rebelle’s capabilities. As a digital art instructor and de-mystifier, Aaron is simply excellent. “
