Student Testimonials

Karen Sperling Vibrant Instructor

Karen Sperling is one of the most vibrant instructors I have had in Painter.
She approaches teaching from a fine arts background which translates into
paintings of beautifully balanced color and detail.
In Karen's workshop, I was able to layer her clear and artistic instruction
with my background knowledge of photography to produce a very
pleasing and salable picture.
I can't wait to take another course from her.

Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat: Best Place to Learn Corel Painter

The best place for photographers to learn how an artist would
approach using Painter IX.5 is the 3-day Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat.
Karen Sperling, with care and discipline, guided us 'artists-in-training'
through the migration from digital photography to digital painting, to creating
delicate and powerful artwork using Painter IX.5.
The experience goes beyond words of praise.
It's a gift.
I learned to think artistically before I acted artistically.
And the results showed up on my digital canvas...exactly
what I wanted to learn how to create.
The Artistry Painter Retreat is truly a
foundation experience for photographers
interested in learning Painter.

Artistry Painting for Photographers Retreat Foundation of Success

Hi Karen,
Just thought I'd drop you a quick note and let you know how much I'm still
loving painting. Please be sure and check out my website (click image at right)
and see the results of the seeds you planted in me.
I credited you as my teacher in my biography.
I'm frequently telling people you are the one they should learn how to use
Painter from because of the purity of your use of Painter versus others who
only add a brush stroke or two after filtering or other mechanisms with
Photoshop or other photo manipulation programs.
I would be lying if I said I only use Painter as there are certain aspects
of the final project that I find are more easily accomplished in Photoshop,
including printing... but nonetheless, the education you gave me in understanding
how to think like Painter has been the foundation of my success.
I'm in the process of trying to find a gallery to show in and marketing to
individuals as well and all indications are my career as an "artist" is due
to be born any minute.
I just wanted to say thank you again and let you know what a great job you are doing.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Clem-Wheeler
