But often I read a technology book that will be seen as vaguely work related. Currently I am reading <strong>The Painter 8 Wow! Book<\/strong> by Cher Threinen-Pendarvis. I bought this book way back in October 29, 2003 on Amazon but I never got around to reading it. I decided to finally read this book due to my new interest in creative coding.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ac&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=robertrobbins-20&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=0321200071&#038;asins=0321200071&#038;linkId=5147fcc331dfc89d9b5ed57207a73481&#038;show_border=false&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=false&#038;price_color=333333&#038;title_color=0066c0&#038;bg_color=ffffff\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although I had a few notes on how to do things with Painter 8, I have been adding even more pages to my notes while reading this book. I have added topics on aligning shapes, the color set tools, blending colors with pastels, cloning and tracing, color masks, feathering, liquid ink, masks, and sketch contrast.<\/p>\n<p>Painter 8 offers limited options for scripting although you can record your actions. Gimp seems to have better scripting options using Python so I will learn how to script drawings using Gimp. This will give me the ability to do creative coding using natural-media brushes, something that Processing still lacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At work I usually read a book during my lunch break after eating my packed lunch.
