Schrift seht klein und oft auf farbigem Untergrund,
so dass sich der Kontrast verliert. Für mich trotz Brille nicht lesbar. Daher habe ich mir das ebook gekauft. Hier ist alles gut lesbar, aber die Seiten wurden nicht 1 zu 1 übernommen, so dass z.B. einige Bilder auf 2 Seiten aufgeteilt zu sehen sind; den oberen Teil auf der rechten Seite, dann muss man umblättern, um den Rest des Bildes zu sehen.ALLES, diese Taschenbuchausgabe und das eBook sehr dilettantisch gemacht. Beides fliegt in den Papierkorb, eine Rückabwicklung ist mir nicht die Mühe wert.Horst Gutbrod, Bildender Künstler

Not a software manual: it's a book about art!
I've noticed at least one popular review has remarked that Jardine's book is no use unless you know how to use the software. Although I've only managed to wrestle my daughter's copy for a quick flick before it vanished again before my very eyes, it looks to be based on Artrage - an excellent app available for iOS, Windows and MacOS so it covers a whole range of systems. However, you have to know how to use the software you bought first or it's going to be pretty useless. Criticizing beginners guide to painting -and particularly one as accessible as this- because you haven't figured out how to use the application is like criticizing the guy you just drove into because you haven't learned how to drive.My daughter is 13 and a keen digital artist but wanted to know more about the greats (Monet, for example) and Jardine takes us through multiple styles gently, step by step in a format that even an old duffer like me can follow. Well, I could if i could get hold of the book long enough. That will teach me for not buying a second copy when I had the chance.Although based on Artrage (which is commercial and excellent value) my daughter has easily translated Alison's descriptions direct into Krita which is free (as in beer) for Windows and Linux. Krita is a tough app to learn but since she's mastered the basics, Alison's observation and well-paced tutorials had her making art in a matter of minutes.Thanks Alison... I owe you a beer.Months later and I'm far better at art (and appreciating art than I ever was before). There's something intimate about Alison's book that explains the craft in way that us oldies can grasp.I guess that's two beers now Alison - hopefully we'll get to shake hands at some future event. Thank you again.
