Welcome to The Painter Wow! Book

SOME PEOPLE EMPHASIZE THE DIFFERENCES between traditional and digital art tools—almost as if “real” art and the computer are not compatible. But during the early development of this book, we discovered many working artists who had bought computers specifically because they were thrilled by the promise of Painter. It seemed logical that The Painter Wow! Book should become a bridge connecting conventional tools and techniques with their electronic counterparts. Early chapters of the book, in particular, touch on color theory, art history and conventional media, and explain how to translate foundational art theory using Painter’s tools.
