Customer Reviews

Good for the absolute beginners only
The other reviews are all true. It's a good book for beginners, who want to try out digital drawing and painting and perhaps using their tablet for the first time.

I am doing some work in the photoshop environment already, so this book is far to slow and easy for me. The information inside dose not reflect the price well for me.

Buy it, if you are an absolute beginner and want to use Painter, but avoid it if you have some experience in Digital art already.

A Great Read
this book is brilliant, it contains easy to follow steps on using the software, and even helps you to get used to using a graphics tablet.

A brilliant book, well worth the price

Truly Inspirational
I have a number of books on Painter IX and X by, amongst others,Cher Threinen-Pendarvis and Don Seegmiller, which are in themselves very good at showing a person how to use all the facilites and functions of Painter, but Rhoda Grossman has really provided a book with a different take on Painter. She avoids too much detail and in a very lively and conversational way introduces a person to the basics.
This book really inspires one to get stuck into Painter immediately. Well worth the money!
