The Digital Renaissance

With a computer and a cheap graphics tablet, anyone can now pick up a digital brush and aspire to create amazing work. Each chapter showcases one great painter (the selection includes Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Sargent, Gustav Klimt, Matisse, Picasso and others) and analyses the techniques that set each one apart. Digital painting programs - notably Corel's painter - are now developed to the point that they can superbly emulate the whole gamut of conventional painting techniques. These techniques are then imitated in stepby- step tutorials, allowing the reader to achieve amazingly convincing results. **PLEASE NOTE: This is the same book as: "The Digital Renaissance: Classical Painting Techniques in Photoshop and Painter." .
