Artistry Retreats

Painting isn't just for artists anymore.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, you can learn to turn your photos into masterful works of art if you study art, learn to use Corel Painter and practice.

And you can take the art lessons and learn the software steps by attending an Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat, taught by original Painter expert and Corel Painter Master Karen Sperling, who wrote the original Painter manuals.

Professional photographers: After attending an Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat, you'll have the tools to create artwork from your photos to sell to clients, through galleries and museums and in other, less conventional, ways.

Hobbyists: Following the Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat, you'll have the fundamentals to create nice paintings of your kids, grandkids and travels.

No prior art experience is necessary. You will learn the art concepts and software painting techniques from Karen Sperling, who has been writing about and teaching Painter longer than anyone. She is the author of the bestselling Painting for Photographers book and the producer of the popular Painting for Photographers DVDs for portraits and landscapes.

Students say that the biggest benefits of attending the Artistry Retreats are watching Karen Sperling's painting techniques and receiving constructive feedback, guidance and techniques during the hands-on step-by-step painting lessons, in addition to rubbing elbows with fellow photographers and hobbyists.

The Artistry Retreats cover Painter X, 11 and the new Corel Painter 12.

If you think you can paint your photos, you probably can.
