What our customer's say!

"Good overview of the function", A lot of info and step to teach new stuff, good for beginning to advance, but some of the stuff that you want to go deeper might not have all the detail info.

"Great reputation in graphic art world", I bought this book as a Christmas gift for both of my adult children who do a lot of graphic art and photo restoration. It was highly recommended by other artists. It is too early to comment on the quality or usefulness of the books but they arrived quickly and in great, new condition. This book, in flipping through it, looks very interesting.

"Again, it's a Wow book, how can you go wrong?", I bought Painter not knowing how to use it, so I needed a book - this book. Besides packed with extras; such as paper textures & brushes, it gives you detailed information on how to set up your digital medium settings; from acrylics to charcoal pencils. It explains what control does what, settings for a particular brush used in examples, a gallery of other artwork, even a whole chapter dedicated on how to create custom brushes. I know how to use Painter now.

"claer and easy", one of my pet peaves is that i want a quick and precice and quick answer to what ever question i have when dealing with a program. too many times i deal with looking endlessly for an answer in a book, i don't have that kind o patience. here however is a clear lay out in the index and then when u read about one subject it will send you to the page for the next subject that is related. sometimes there are elaborate idea developments about the art for projects that i can generally do with out, but some of the ideas presented were actually so good that i was applying them myself to some of my things. I always like seeing the artwork in the WOW series of books that show off the entire capability of the programs. we use the illustrator CS2 wow and the photoshop CS2 wow, which is why i went on to try this one, love it, no question

"The best I've seen to date!", Cher has put together a remarkably clear
"how-to" book for those using Painter
for the first time.
As a professor of graphics and fine art, found
the book to be the best so far
for the explanation and application of
a painter program.
Kudos to Cher!!

"Not great for beginner", This book has a lot of great examples of illustration, but the layout of the book is way too confusing. I found myself often lost where I should continue to read. The intro for interface has very little help for the beginner to start this program. This book might be good reference for advanced users, but not for beginners. Maybe the author wants to make a nice-looking book, but this book is over-designed, lack of functionality . I would recommend video tutorial from Lynda.com, it's ideal for beginners who never used Corel Painter and Wacom drawing tablets.

"What more could one ask from a book?", Following in the footsteps of all her other books, Cher has once again come up with a massive winner. Her writing is so technically perfect, artistically descriptive but most of all so easy to follow, that I proclaim, this book is a MUST for Photographer/Artists or Artist/Photographers, being a constant reference source and a delight to read. What amazes me is how any one person can combine artist, technician and author into one role to such a high standard. Buy this book - you will never regret it!

"A definite priority buy for Painter tutorials", Well written with many different styles and applications illustrated throughout. Yes, it is very technical and hard to follow when just reading, but all graphics software tutorials are. You have to sit down with this book and work through the chapters, especially if you have no training in Photoshop. If you are serious about using Painter, then this book is a must have and probably all you need.

"Wow! Indeed!", I first discovered Cher Threinen-Pendarvis' Painter WOW! books when I was struggling to learn Painter 5.5 all by myself in a rural area where no one had even heard of digital painting. I own The Painter 5,6,7,8 and IX Wow!Books and I credit the author of these books as one who is responsible for my passion for digital painting and my love of the Painter program. The only problem is having space for all of the books, for I would not part with one of them as they are filled with underlining, with my notes, and the quality art work is a source of inpiration.

The Painter IX Wow! Book teaches the novice not only how to use the program but, through artists'examples, how to apply that knowledge to whatever type of art one wishes to create. It also teaches veteran users about the new features in Painter IX. This is a book to pore over, to study, not just breeze through, although that alone is pure pleasure due to the quality of the pictures. The book functions as a good on-going reference to look up "how-to" instruction regarding using the features of the program and it includes familiar and new to the book artists and as well as information not in previous Wow! editions. Also included is an excellent chapter on printing digital paintings and the resource section in the Appendix is valuable. I highly recommend this book to those new to Painter and to veteran users of the program as well.

"If only we could all become renowned artists...", This book offers a first-hand look at how to take full advantage of many of the tools' feature set. From layering colors to enhancing photos to various imaging effects and beyond, the author explains how you too can become a master of this latest version of Painter. With numerous color examples of what others have done with the tool, ideas will flow and you'll see how limited your own skills are. If you can envision it, you can certainly do it with this tool, and this book will help you use the tool better. Thankfully, there is always Undo for those times when your own skills are lacking in what actually looks good.
