Schedule: Artistry Retreats and other Corel Painter classes The Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat Taught by Karen Sperling, the original Painter expert Learn to turn photos into paintings in Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop from Karen Sperling, who wrote the original Painter manuals and the bestseller Painting for Photographers, and who has been writing about and teaching Painter longer than anyone. The Artistry Retreats come in two sizes: The two-day Artistry Retreat Lite and the full three-day Artistry Retreat. 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. Both the Artistry Retreat and the Artistry Retreat Lite will show you how to paint photos, including the art lessons you need to know to make decisions like which photos make good candidates to be turned into paintings and how to choose color schemes. While the three-day Artistry Retreat shows more portrait and landscape painting examples, techniques and Painter tools, the two-day Artistry Retreat Lite offers enough portrait and landscape painting examples, techniques and Painter tools to jump start your painting progress. The Artistry Retreats offer hands on instruction. Bring your laptop with Painter X or 11 and Photoshop CS3 or CS4 loaded.
