In this revealing history; author; historian; and musician Ian Glasper explores in minute detail the influential and esoteric UK anarcho-punk scene of the early 1980s. Where some of the colorful punk bands from the first half of the decade were loud; political; and uncompromising; their anarcho-punk counterparts were even more so; totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates; the arrival of bands such as Amebix; Chumbawamba; Flux of Pink Indians; and Zounds heralded a new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. New; exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unreleased photographs document the impact of all of the scenersquo;s biggest namesmdash;and a fair few of the smaller onesmdash;highlighting how anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from the very beginning to a whole new level of personal awareness.

The author takes you from absolute beginner to painting landscapes that you can be proud of. Even if youve never touched a brush in your life. As far as Im concerned; the criticisms you find from others are really unwarranted. Whether you use the "Brushes" program used by the author; or another program; its easy enough to follow along. I tried a couple of free aps before settling on one called MediBang Paint; which works just fine for me. I am no artist; but even so; I found it almost ridiculously easy to get started and make a "painting" that actually looks like it should. And that was using only my fingers and a generic Android tablet. Im sure that if I had a stylus brush (you can make your own; by the way; instead of buying one of the expensive ones Sensu Digital Artist Brush Stylus Chrome Color for use with I-Pad and Tablets-the best for your creative needs - just check out Instructables or YouTube) I would be able to do a lot better. I think if you look at this book as merely a set of instructions for a specific app; you are sure to be disappointed. But if you see it as a doorway to getting started with painting on a tablet; putting in just a little time and effort; you will amaze yourself and others. Moreover; you will have all you need to launch yourself on a new hobby. Way to go Mr. Palmer!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent - go from novice to painter in 45 minutes!By SattvalaMatthew has done a beautiful job with this book starting from the very beginning and taking us through all the watercolor painting basics like brush strokes; color density; layering; and blending. Now I have a blast doing 10 minute beauties that are the no-frustration creative outlet Ive been looking for! I have the app Procreate on my 9" iPad Pro and my iPhone so I literally paint any time anywhere. Befor I bought this book I hadnt gotten the steps right so was very frustrating. Now Im happy!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun and relaxingBy Danton M.As a definite non-artist; I am having fun going through this book. The pictures and instructions are clear and simple to follow; except that I havent quite figured out how to blend two colors as smoothly as Palmer does. And the suggested way of cleaning the palette in Brushes Redux simply doesnt work for me for some reason. But yeah; buy this book and youll likely enjoy your first adventures into digital painting.
