Book Reviews of Painter 8 Creativity: Digital Artist's Handbook
Book Review: bringing out the creative spirit through Painter
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the program Painter from the start even though I initially felt intimidated and overwhelmed by it. Confusion turned into excitement after I acquired a set of Painter 4 instructional videos taught by Jeremy Sutton. I enjoyed his no-nonsense, hands-on and fun approach to teaching. He encouraged me to learn without feeling inadequate, to explore different avenues of self-expression and to experience Painter as a enjoyable adventure. Not an easy task to accomplish, but something that Jeremy does extremely well on a consistent basis. Painter 8 Creativity showcases Jeremy's informative and playful spirit, which truly enhances the learning experience. He places the step-by-step learning process within a larger context, in which Painter becomes a medium that taps into self-discovery and releases the creative juices within us in fun, expressive ways. Painter 8 Creativity is written in clear, easy-to-follow language, with highlighted instructions and illustrated examples to enhance comprehension and allow for quick review and reference.
Through the teaching of Painter 8, Jeremy also addresses issues such as: tackling the working environment in an organized, uncomplicated way; learning the basics of portraiture; utilizing the amazing array of Painter brushes to enhance photographs; and finding ways to keep yourself motivated and inspired. After all is said and done, Jeremy invites you to leave it all behind and to have a ball with the art making process.
Painter 8 creativity stays true to Jeremy's basic rules, established at the beginning of the book:
- There is no such thing as a mistake.
- There is no such thing as a dumb question.
- Be bold and take risks-you won't break the computer!
- Have FUN!
If you have wanted to learn Painter, this book will be the best place to get started. If you think you know all about Painter, you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover that there is still room for learning, for this book demonstrates that creativity has no bounds.
