Tips + Tricks

Artistry Tips and Tricks on CD + Individual Downloads

Artistry Tips and Tricks is an ezine that contains step-by-step instructions and illustrations for turning photos into paintings in Corel Painter and, starting in June 2008, Adobe Photoshop.

The Artistry tutorials are Acrobat files with written steps and illustrations.

They aren't movies or DVDs.

You follow them like reading magazine articles or book chapters.

Artistry Tips and Tricks issues are Corel Painter classes, workshops, seminars, tutorials and books all rolled into colorful, well-written Acrobat files that are highly regarded for their thorough, easy-to-follow steps.

Each Artistry Tips and Tricks CD has 6 issues of newsletters grouped chronologically.

In addition to the Acrobat files containing the written instructions and illustrated steps, the CDs also have the original photos so that you can use them to follow the tutorials.

Written, illustrated and published by Karen Sperling, who wrote the first several Painter manuals when the program debuted in 1991, Artistry Tips and Tricks first appeared in October 2004.

The first 5 1/2 years of issues are now available on CD!

The cover price for each Artistry Tips and Tricks CD--containing 6 issues--is $77. Each issue has 30-40 pages.

Shipping: $4.95 U.S. priority mail postage, $12.95 international global priority postage.

8.25% California tax for California residents
