So far this book has been quite good at helping me understand the basic operations of Painter. It's a bit too much instruction on how to actually draw or paint for my needs but it does help apply the technical functions of the program. The only limitation so far is that the accompanying CD includes some image files which can't be opened on my Mac even though the book is geared toward both Mac and PC users. So far they haven't been critical files though.

I sometimes get a bit overwhelmed with Painter workbooks. This one is entertaining and easy-to follow. Highly recommended for the first-time user or those needed refreshers.

A great teaching text

Refreshingly, this is not another agonizingly detailed trip through all the menus and buttons of the application. The book is focused on (gasp) actually making paintings. With the furnished data files and friendly writing, Rhoda Grossman walks you through the creation of several paintings, all the while nudging you to add your own personality to the work.
I've bought several Painter books over the years, and this is easily the best. You can learn the mechanics of the program from the help included with Painter. Grossman's book gets you going on the actual creative work--which is probably why you bought Painter to begin with.

Painter 11 - Rhoda Grossman's Book A Great Companion

Knowing very little about the possibilities of Painter 11 (or any Painter version for that matter) this book has been a great companion. Very helpful, with the topics delivered in an easy-to-follow and lighthearted manner. Good advice without being overbearing. Well worth the money.
