| This is a good book for both reference and inspiration. Its a very dense book, which covers a broad range of techniques and tools. Its only relevant if you already are using the Software and have some confidence about where things are etc. Its strength is that it has different artists which explain what techniques they used to develop their work. I found it useful to read the book through initially, and then go back to the individual elements I am interested in at the time I need them. Lots of extra's in the CD to. |

| I found the book to be in depth but I would have liked it to be more refined first then get in depth later in the book. |
| Certainly is a WOW book, but | 2009-04-25 | 5 / 5 |

As I'm always trying to learn how to handle Painter X in more depth, but so far I've only just scratched the surface, (same with Photoshop), I purchased Cher's book. She definitely packs a lot into it, and is an excellent publication and learning tool, but, I don't feel it is for the first timer. I have messed around with Painter X for about six months, and still feel I need a "this is how you do this". I thought Cher's book was a bit of a "chuck 'em in the deep end", thing. If you have covered all the basic's and are handling them well, then this is the book for you. However, if like me, you are still coming to terms with a lot of Painter X, then I would look furhter for something that provides more basic steps and explanations, and easy exercises to complete, so you know you have successfully learned the steps. Try "Digital Painting Fundamentals with Painter X - Rhoda Grossman", first, then move into Chers's book, then you'll have everything you need to really make Painter X work. Cher's book is a great tool, worth all 5 stars.
01/03/2010 - Okay, since my review above, 24/04/2009, I have a further comment that may help Painter X users. For those having problems coming to terms with the program, try doing Painter 1 & 2 at LVS Online, these are two great six weeks courses that I can guarantee will get you into Painter X without pain, and if you have purchased Cher's book, you will make great use of it as I am. Hope this helps and goodluck. |

Comprehensive, inspirational, packed with amazing effects in the huge variety of styles of which Painter is capable. And the examples used are from many different painters so that this variety is even further enhanced. So why only 4*? It is simply that I am not a serious artist, with lots of time to practice using the myriad techniques. I principally wanted to find out how to achieve painterly effects relatively quickly with existing photos, rather than starting out with a blank canvas. So, if you have similar aims, this is not really the book for you. For the serious artist, though, feel free to give this 5*!
