Book Reviews of Advanced Painter Techniques
Book Review: Excellent, clear, advanced tutorials
Summary: 5 Stars
This is far and away the best Painter instruction book I have ever seen. I admire Don Seegmiller's style for combining technical expertise with a touch of whimsey, so when "Advanced Painter Techniques" came out I got it by overnight express and read it cover to cover. I learned something new in every chapter - really every page. Patterns, paper textures, painting shiny metal - I was fairly familiar with them, but Seegmiller takes them to new heights. Of all my digital painting books I have never seen one that explains so clearly how so many esoteric Painter techniques work, including fractals, tesselations, liquid metal, and the image hose. I have never seen, anywhere, a source that even begins to explain the use of layer Composite Methods as well as Seegmiller does. And the different methods for painting reflections in water alone were worth the price of the book. All of this is coupled with good, solid painting instruction. It also provides a wealth of custom brushes, paper textures and tutorial materials for download.
This book is just what it says it is: ADVANCED. It is not for people unfamiliar with the program who need to have every step spelled out. It is also not for those who want to turn photos into paintings with one mouse click. But for those really interested in clear instruction in complex features, and in taking their digital painting to the highest level, it is the best.
