5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Fantastic!, June 11, 2002
This review is from: The Painter 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
I'm a part time faculty member at a Boston art school. At the school I teach a class on Digital Illustration using Painter. I myself use the Painter WOW! Book as an instructional tool, and it is actually a required text for the class. If you're at all interested in Painter, reading this book is one of the best things you can do for yourself, it's a must have! Cher's book does not just tell you how you "could" use Painter; she provides real world applications of the tools within Painter to show what you "can" do. Due to the seemingly complex interface, without this book, a new user could potentially be scared away from the application. The Painter WOW! will help you work through the entire application, progressing at your own pace. As for seasoned users, such as myself, you are sure to come away with many new tips and tricks; you'll wonder how you ever worked without them. I started buying the Painter WOW! Books back when version 5 had just been released. WOW! 6 was great, and WOW! 7 is better yet! Not only is this book chalk full of useful information, it's a visual delight. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, June 5, 2002
This review is from: The Painter 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
Painter 7 WOW! not only fills in the gaps left by self-study (even after years of using the program) but also inspires and encourages. The featured artwork is fascinating, vibrant and timely. This book has many new pieces not found in Painter 6 WOW!, strong documentation on how to get the most from Painter 7's many new features (new Liquid Ink and Watercolor sections are especially insightful) and up-to-date information. We found this book to be the only one needed to feel proficient and "friendly" with the program - whether the point of view is as a Fine Artist familiar with the materials but not with computers, or as a graphics person unfamiliar with Fine Arts techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough. Top Notch. Awesome., May 25, 2002
By 
This review is from: The Painter 7 Wow! Book (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. It is 400 pages, full of beautiful work created by Painter artists, techniques of these artists, tips, etc... The author has managed to provide a huge wealth of information on a software title that is loaded with possibilities. Although one can use the preset brushes and paper, etc. within Painter itself, the author decribes techniques, step-by-step how-tos and tips, etc. that put everything together for you... As a beginner with Painter, this book is a MUST. I can not stress that more. I will bet that unless you are completely familiar and know every in-and-out of Painter, you will gain something out of this book. As a beginner with Painter, just looking at the interface is intimidating. After playing around with it and reviewing the manual, I gained some understanding... but found it difficult to apply real-world techniques to really get the effects I wanted to achieve until I read through this book. Lastly, I would like to stress again that the book is beautiful and very inspirational!!

AWESOME!
