Computer Art Class on Paper

Berkeley, CA-Art supplies that never run out, watercolors that can be
erased, paper textures that can be changed midway through a drawing-it's
an artist's wildest fantasy. It's also just some of what's possible with
Painter 3.1 for Macintosh. Packed with illustrations created by the
authors and 19 other accomplished artists, Painter 3.1 for Macintosh:
Visual QuickStart Guide serves as a computer art class that inspires users
to explore the program's many features. From abstract to realistic, wild
to restrained, this book illustrates a variety of paint strokes and styles
for beginning to advanced graphic designers, as well as fine artists who
want to transfer their skills to the computer. 

Like the other Visual QuickStart guides (with almost a million copies in
print), this book consists of easy-to-follow steps structured as a
task-oriented reference: Readers can easily look up what they need to know
when they need to know it and get straight to work. Painter 3.1 for
Macintosh with illustrations on every page- from knock-out art work to
informative screen captures visually guides readers through the program,
showing them how to really use it. 

Authors/artists Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas have collaborated on
three other successful Visual QuickStart guides: Photoshop 3 for Macintosh
(finalist for the Benjamin Franklin Award), Photoshop 2.5 for Windows, and
Illustrator 5.0/5.1 for Macintosh. Weinmann wrote two Visual QuickStart
guides on her own: QuarkXPress 3.3 for Macintosh (winner of the Benjamin
Franklin Award for Best Computer Book) and QuarkXPress for Windows. She,
like Lourekas, is an instructor at the New School Computer Instruction
Center. Weinmann also teaches at Pratt Manhattan, and Lourekas at Parsons
School of Design and The Cooper Union School of Art.
