Goal

The goal of this book is for you to realize your full creative potential and express yourself in your art with soul and passion. You will learn how to use the amazing paint program Painter to create expressive portraits, transform photographs, and produce evocative collage and painterly animations.

Who This Book is Intended For

I’ve designed this book to be suitable either as a study book for the individual user or for use as a class textbook. It is a tutorial style book suitable for beginner to advanced Painter users.

The Structure

The structure is based on my experience over many years of teaching Painter in classes and workshops. I am very methodical in building up a solid foundation and preparing the student to make the most of the tools. There are five main sections (see the provisional Table of Contents below), each of which can be treated as a "mini-workshop". Each section is divided into a series of lessons. Throughout the lessons are action steps, exercises, projects and questions.
