This is a truly helpful book if you wish to create a very professional looking painting from a photo but have never painted before. Easy to follow instructions can turn you into a painter in a very short time.Within a week I was astonishing my clients with my new found skills.By combining photos and than painting them I can create a very original painting that has become my trademark in within a month.

Rating: - essential reading for 21st century photo/artist
I love this book. the dvd instruction gets one immediately into practice // and soon enough gets your head spinning with a smorgasbord of creative possibilities. the author gives detailed instructions regarding cloning, layering, painting, and montages, etc. I highly recommend this book for aspiring photo/artists, digital artists, photo/artists and photographers delving into the digital world. Yes, there are other painterX books out there...but this seems to be the one for me. thank you mr. addison.
