The Painter 11 Wow! Book continues to delight Painter fans with its many exciting inspirations and techniques for creating fine art, photography, graphic design, multimedia, and film. In this new edition of The Painter Wow! Book, bestselling author and renowned artist Cher Threinen-Pendarvis takes her readers, step by step, through this revolutionary program, guiding them across the bridge from traditional media to electronic art.

With her clear, instructive approach, Cher quickly gets beginners up to speed, providing more advanced users with additional insight on a variety of cool, creative, and productive techniques. New to this edition is coverage of Painter's latest tools, including the new dry media (marker, pen, pencil, and chalk) found in the Real Bristle Painting System, a hard media palette for fine-tuned adjustments, a virtual palette for mixing colors, support for Photoshop layers and color profiles, and much more.

A CD-ROM containing numerous stock photos, video clips, a study guide for instructors, and over 100 unique custom brushes, plus new papers, patterns, and lighting effects built by Cher herself, makes this an invaluable resource for professionals and artists at all levels.

"All these subjects are presented as Basics sections, Primers, techniques, tips, galleries and appendixes. It is therefore easy to work through each exercise. The book comes with a CD with extra libraries of Wow: Brushes, Patterns, Scripts, and Textures. I tried out the brushes called Knives and Scrapers with just a blank canvas and was delighted with the result." -Babette Bloch, Golden Gate Computer Society
