Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat and Artistry GARTEL Seminar Educational and Motivating
After attending your Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat, I just had to write and
tell you what a wonderful experience it was.
Meeting and being taught by both you and Laurence Gartel was so
educational and motivating. I have been home a week and have
already started implementing many theories I learned.
I have taken other classes in painting that were taught by people
well known in the world of professional photography and although
I did gain knowledge from every class I have taken, I feel your method
of teaching and deep understanding of the nuts and bolts of the program
mixed with your true artistic talent gave me more than I have gotten
from any other class.
There is much to be gained by spending 3 days in a class with you for
invested photographers and artists of all levels.
The extra two days I signed up for to learn about marketing with
well-known artist Laurence Gartel I feel was such a gift to myself and
my career. I can't wait to put all that I learned 100% into action.
Last but in no way least, I am so excited to have been there to see
you and your work represented for the first time in a New York gallery.
Congratulations, Karen Sperling!
Thanks so much...and watch me grow!

Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat and Artistry GARTEL Seminar Help with Painting and Clients
Karen,
I was thinking about your class that I had taken.
It truly has helped me to move on in painting.
I came to your class with a little knowledge and left with so much more.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful techniques and knowledge.
You showed things that I have not seen in any other books.
I can remember thinking more than once, when you gave
a certain tip, that "this is worth the price of admission!"
I left with more confidence, more know how and the desire
to paint my way to the top!
I have sold several paintings and enjoyed the look of satisfaction
on my clients' faces.
Thanks for helping me get there.
I also attended Laurence Gartel's marketing class, from
which I received many marketing ideas.
He helped me mostly with my "approach" to future clients.
In fact I just recently designed something for my son who
had a client that wanted a new look. When he was ready to
present, I spoke with him about how to approach this client and
helped him "see" that what we did, is what they needed.
I received a call yesterday from my son and he said, "They loved it."
NO changes needed.
It works-thanks Laurence.
Happy painting,
Julie

Photographer Painting Ever Since She Left Malibu Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat
Dear Karen,
I am writing to thank you for the amazing Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat this past week.
It is always difficult for professionals to take time out and learn
something that they have been wanting to learn for a while, so I
appreciate that it was time well spent.
In the past 4 years I have only taken 2 classes on Painter and after
the first class I was unable to remember everything that I had been
taught.
I am so excited to share with you that you not only taught me the most
important techniques that I could incorporate into my photography, but
you also did it with patience and professionalism.
The way you teach is fantastic.
You made sure we understood everything before we went on to something
else and you shared your many talents with us.
It was a blessing to be a student in your classroom.
I have been painting ever since I left Malibu and I have been commissioned by
two families to do portraits.
I am forever grateful for your teachings and your talents that you shared with us.
Sincerely,
Kim Lemaire

Artistry Gartel Marketing Seminar Exceeds Expectations
Karen,
The Artistry Gartel Marketing Seminar was much more than I expected.
I received concise, to the point information on marketing my work,
which was exactly what I was looking for.
From past to present, Laurence Gartel is well versed in the digital art world.
He is up to date in his knowledge of the field and the direction things are going in,
and his insight into current and future trends was amazing!
My only regret is that I didn't meet with him sooner. It would have saved me
a considerable amount of time and effort.
Thank you for putting together a great seminar at a stellar location.
Malibu was the perfect location for the event. It's a great place to learn as well as inspire.
Best regards,
Ben Mahler
Karen Sperling Marvelous and Patient Teacher
Dear Karen,
It was a pleasure for me to meet you and be a participant in your
Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat. I thank you for allowing me to attend and for the
foundation that I have acquired in Painter. You were a marvelous and
patient teacher who I thought presented a complex program in a way
that made getting started that much easier. As I alluded to in the
beginning, I have had Painter for awhile, but have not really ever
gotten into it in a meaningful way. Now, I think, I can move on and
actually put it to use. When I get there, hopefully soon, I will
forward you one of my 'masterpieces'.
I wish you the best of wishes for a successful showing at your
gallery show in April. From what you showed, I think, you have some
unusual and creative pieces that should show well. If you have the
time and remember, let me know how it all turns out.
Again, thank you for getting me started in Painter. Your Retreat was
well worth the time and effort in all respects, as you have an
incredible knowledge of a complex program that you present in a very
understandable way.
Sincerely,
Gary McLaughlin
