There are examples from over 40 professional artists, including Ron Ranson, Richard McDaniel and Penny Soto, which illustrate a variety of mediums, styles and subjects and detail, step-by-step, ways to experiment with colour, composition, value, scale and proportion.

Something for Every Artist 5 Mar 2002

By William Polm - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book encouraged me to buy Photoshop Elements and get started learning this powerful and complex software (I have used Microsoft's Picture It! and a watered-down version of Phtoshop before, the latter for several years). This book coveres several types of media. A number of different artists put together paintings using the software to aid in explorations of graphic ideas and planning. Basically, it is an introduction to using Photoshop (or, "...Elements") or other image editing program that demonstates the advantages, and some of the ways, a computer can be used by artists. It's chief value lies in getting you excited about expanding your tools and shows you how a computer can enhance your creativity, making it easier and quicker to explore the possibilites.

Tools for Artistis 11 Mar 2002

By J. Bethman - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book will be a very helpful tool for anyone using the new image-editing software to improve drawings and paintings. There are a number of examples that show what today's software will allow an artist to do. It gave me new ideas to try as I experimented with software, my scanner and digital camera. This book would be great for anyone who is looking for some great ideas and new approaches to art!

Innovative 15 Feb 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

As an artist taking a Photoshop class, i was hopelessly lost in a deluge of material. This book sorts through the material and focuses only on what is necessary for an artist. Great way to take the pain out of thumbnails and value studies!
