From Barnes & Noble
Nowadays, digital artists are beginning to focus less on technique, and more on using software to realize their own personal expressive styles. Jeremy Sutton's Painter X Creativity can be your "creative catalyst" in that journey, helping you follow your heart, take risks, and develop your unique artistic voice.Sutton introduces Painter X's brushes with miniature paintings using each of them, and tips on experimenting with and combining them. When he walks through capturing a photograph as a paper texture, he shows how this approach can help you "let go" of your attachments to specific techniques and play with your image in new ways. He even offers some enticing explorations into design and composition.
Sutton certainly covers Painter X's new features, from Smart Stroke to Divine Proportion. But his focus is always where it should be: on the tools as a means to an end -- your style, your art. Bill Camarda, from the October 2007 Read Only
