Photographers who want to learn Corel Painter and don't have a lot of time
to do it turn to Karen Sperling's Artistry Retreats and Artistry tutorials
for a quick start.
"I have photographers up and running in Painter in three days at my
Artistry Retreats," says Karen, who is the author of the original Painter manuals
and has been teaching and writing about the software longer than anyone.
Many photographers, including Grey Darrah say that
they make back the cost of the class and travel expenses with a painted
portrait sale as soon as they return home.
"I made back what I paid to attend the class several times over with my first
portrait. That's a great return on my investment!" says Darrah. "I completely
used everything that I learned from the retreat and could never have done this
without having been shown all of the basics (and much, much more) from Karen."
At the Artistry Retreats, photographers learn not only the Corel Painter steps,
but also the art concepts that they need to be able to either completely turn
a photo into a painting or add painterly effects with Painter.
For those who can't make it to an Artistry Retreat, Karen publishes
Artistry Tips and Tricks, a downloadable Acrobat format e-zine
containing written step-by-step instructions and interim images that take
you from photo to painting in Corel Painter.
Artistry Tips and Tricks issues are also available on CD, along with
the other Artistry Tutorials, namely the Artistry Beginners and the
Artistry Painting for Photographers tutorials.
Kathleen Falls, PPA Certified, Master Artist, M.E.I.,Cr., won top honors in a photo competition
sponsored by American Photographic Artists Guild, a Professional Photographers of America
affiliate, and she credits Artistry tutorials for getting her going in Painter.
"When I first started using Painter I ordered many of Karen Sperling's Artistry
tutorials and they were extremely helpful in getting me started in Painter," says Kathy.
"I liked the options of ordering the tutorials I felt would most benefit me."
Like many photographers, Kathy preferred the Acrobat format of the Artistry tutorials.
"I liked the Acrobat format. It was easy to work with my computer following the steps
outlined in the tutorials. I find them much easier to use than videos as far as training is concerned."
