    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Painter 8 Book out there!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    Simply, this is just a great book. It really goes on in detail of how to create certain things with Painter 8 and I was really impressed by this book. Not only are their how-to-tips to make awesome Painter art/projects, there are examples of what professionals have accomplished using Painter.
    The fact that they have promoted this book inside the Painter 8 box when you purchase it and the fact that the developers of Painter support Cher Threinen-Pendarvis, the book is indeed enthusiastic and very easy to read and learn.
    Highly recommended for anyone using or learning Painter 8!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2003
    I am new to Painter 8 (or any of the Painter programs for that matter), but not new to painting, particularly in oils. I spent over 2 weeks getting frustrated with the program and the brushes that it comes with by default. No matter how much I tried, I could not get the program to behave in the same manner I was accustomed to with conventional painting.
    The book was excellent at explaining and illustrating the various different styles of painting, and how to do them. The presets that come on the CD to me are worth the price of admission. The "Wet Oily Blender" and "New Totaly Oils" work near perfectly in accordance to what I was accustomed to with regular oils.
    With the help of this book, I am now able to do what I set out to do in the first place: Enjoy the process of painting without having to have a studio and a ton of expensive supplies. I highly recomment this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WOW book fills learning experience with EXCITEMENT
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2004
    I have about five years of computer graphics experience and have purchased quite a few reference and 'how to' books along the way to help me better understand the use of the programs I own. Without a doubt this has been the most helpful book I've ever come across.
    Put together with consideration for the Painter beginner like myself, this book has been FILLED with beautiful, full-color examples so that each step was easy to follow and understand. While it also explored more of the Painter 8's functions than the user manual Corel packaged with the program, many other accomplished Painter artists contributed their techniques which made this book very rich.
    Cher's WOW book filled my learning experience with excitement instead of frustration and will remain a useful guide even after I'm more experienced. Thank you Cher and everyone for all the hard work and talent that went into its creation!
    Sincerely,

    1.0 out of 5 stars Demo CD Rom
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2004
    Actually, the book is probably great. However, I gave it one star solely to alert consumers to the fact that the CD that comes with the book is just a 30 free trial. I guess this means the whole CD vanishes after that period of time?. Don't know yet.
    The brushes are nothing short of outstanding. Too bad I can only use them for 30 days. Nothing can be saved, and I am not computer savy enough to convert the CD to a permanent status in my computer. ...

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only reference you need for Painter 8
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2005
    I just bought this book based on the reviews before me. After reading a bit and skimming the whole thing (was delivered yesterday), I picked up a hundred new ideas on how to create and work with images. This is far better than searching through online tutorials. For those of you who know that you can create anything with the software but can't imagine what steps to take, this is your ticket to how to do it. Buy it.
