Cher Threinen-Pendarvis is an award-winning artist and educator who generously
shares her in-depth knowledge with readers -- not just of MetaCreations Painter, but of art
processes in general, both digital and traditional. Those who've read previous versions of her
Painter Wow! book often buy subsequent editions because of her passion for the subject and the
beauty of the books themselves. The Painter 6 Wow! Book is no exception. In the new edition of
this highly acclaimed book, Pendarvis once again unveils dazzling works of digital art and
demonstrates for readers -- step-by-step -- how they were created, with an emphasis on Painter's
new, more-natural-than-ever painting tools.
