Artistry Tips and Tricks is a monthly e-zine in Acrobat
format for photographers.
Each issue has written step-by-step instructions and
interim images for turning photos
into paintings in Corel Painter by Karen
Sperling.
As of June 2008, Artistry Tips and Tricks also covers
turning photos into paintings in Adobe Photoshop in addition
to Corel Painter.
Artistry Tips and Tricks also has art lessons, like what
makes a photo a good candidate to be turned into a painting and how to
choose colors.
