The book is bound to boost your creativity with Painter 8's powerful tools, as you learn from the artist who created more than 400 new brushes included with Corel Painter 8. The Painter 8 Wow! Book includes expanded chapters focusing on:

Some people buy the book just for the accompanying
CD-ROM, which comes loaded with over a hundred custom
brushes and papers built by the author, recorded scripts
for applying effects, stock photographs, and video clips,
and a trial version of Corel Painter 8. On the CD-ROM
you'll also find the Painter 8 Wow! Study Guide, an
instructor's guide designed to help you use the book for
self-study or as a textbook for classes in computer
imaging, digital art, and design using Corel Painter.
The book also provides a companion Web site at
