The objective of this tutorial is to show a method for making a very basic wine glass with Paintshop Pro. The final wine glass which results from following this tutorial is not ment to be a final image. This is intentional. If I show you how to make my final wine glass, that is what you will get, my wine glass. By playing or experimenting with various settings, changing a few things here and there, in other words using your own creativity, you will be able to produce a very fine wine glass. And the best thing about that is it will be yours, and yours alone.Should you have problems or have questions please send me an email. You may find following this tutorial easier if you print it out. To print, make sure your printer is turned on, click on the print icon of your browser or click on File/Print. So let's jump right in and don't be afraid to make any changes or go your own route anywhere along the way.
