Artistry Tips and Tricks Reviews

Artistry Tips and Tricks is a monthly e-zine in Acrobat
format featuring written step-by-step instructions and
illustrations by Karen Sperling for using
Corel Painter IX, IX.5 and X.

All of the tutorials are about turning photos into
paintings in Corel Painter.

Aimed at photographers, the tutorials include both the Painter
steps and the art concepts you need to complete the tutorial.

No prior art experience is needed.

Artists: the tutorials are interesting for you as well.

The tutorials show you how Painter's tools work--you can
follow the tutorial without starting from a photo.

Artistry Tutorials are Easy to Use



I love your work and the Degas Dancers is my favorite.

I learned how to do the auto painting from your lesson on them and did this horse painting with it. Very neat tool!

I am going to check out some more of your tutorials.

The way you have the tutorials set up makes them easy to use and your site is easy to buy from.

Spends Time Poring Over Artistry Tips and Tricks


Well, Karen, thanks to you, I guess I've become a hermit!!

Just kidding--but oh my gosh, do I spend time poring over your tips and tricks!

Before finding you, I spent a LOT of money on Painter books; they are just fine for the technical aspects, but I wanted to jump in right away, not read about all the details, changes, etc.

You allowed me to paint a photo of my daughter (image at right) the first time I purchased a tip! Wow!

Talk about instant gratification!

Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!

Warm regards,
Victoria Sutherland




Artistry Tutorials are the Best



Karen,

Thanks to your art techniques, I was able to capture my cousin's personality in my painting.

Your step-by-step artistry tutorials are the best I've seen. It is amazing to see how you build each photo into a work of art.

Karen, thank you for sharing your gifted talents. I am looking forward to taking my photography to the next level.

Avid Artistry Reader's First Painting



This is my first painting using one of Karen's Artistry Tips and Tricks tutorials. It is a painting of my best friend's granddaughter. I call it "Anna." Although I didn't follow the tutorial exactly because each photo has its own characteristics, I followed it as closely as possible.

I've only recently become interested in digital art, specifically with an eye toward using my own photos to create art. Upon researching digital art, the name which came up frequently was Karen Sperling. After looking at Karen's website and reading much of the material, I knew Karen and her classes were the medium for which I had been searching to begin my study of digital art. I have never painted traditionally either so this was a broad step for me.

Although I wanted very much to attend one of her retreats, my finances would not allow me to do so at this time. I purchased her Artistry Beginners and Artistry Painting for Photographers CDs as well as the newsletter CDs. After receiving this material and I began reading it, I knew I also had to subscribe to her monthly newsletter. I also purchased the few months that I had missed between the newsletter CDs and my subscription.

I'm looking forward to using more of Karen's tutorials on some of my other photographs and hope to be able to attend her retreat someday.
