Artistry Tips and Tricks is an e-zine featuring both art concepts and step-by-step instructions
for turning photos into paintings and for adding painterly touches to photos in Corel Painter.
No previous art experience is necessary!
The Artistry Tips and Tricks e-zine is written and published by artist, author, photographer
and original Painter expert, Karen Sperling.
The Artistry tutorials are Acrobat files with written steps and illustrations.
They aren't movies or DVDs.
You follow them like reading magazine articles or book chapters.
All of the tutorials apply to Painter IX, IX.5 and X and many apply to Painter 8 and earlier.
In addition to the written steps are all the interim images to show you how the final images were achieved.
Additionally, the CD contains the individual image files of all the source photos and final paintings, in addition to all the
interim steps. Not only will you be able to follow along with the tutorials in Painter using the actual images, but you'll also be able to see all the effects
up close.
