Karen Sperling Is Gifted Not Only as an Artist, But Also As an Articulate and Well-Organized Instructor
Hi, everyone!
My name is Gary Silber, and my wife Marion and I own Marion and Silber Fine Portraiture in Jackson, MS. I have been a passionate portrait photographer since I was 17 years old, and a PPA Master and Craftsman Photographer for over 30 years. In addition to my career as a classic photographic portrait artist, I have taught both photography and art history on a career college level.
I also study art, art history and both Old Masters and Contemporary painting. Most of Marion’s and my portraiture is inspired by our love of Rembrandt, Sargent, Renoir, and other great painters.
I have been trying, with limited success, to learn and master Corel Painter for at least 15 years, perhaps longer. Learning the program has somehow always eluded me, though I have studied with some very talented Corel artists.
I have recently been studying with Karen Sperling privately, through her online webinar technology. I wanted to share with anybody interested in learning to paint with Corel Painter what a superb teacher Karen is. I have made enormous progress in a short period of time. She teaches not only the how to of using the Corel program, but also the fundamentals of art and painting as you learn the in-depth program.
I can’t recommend Karen’s books and personal teaching enough. She doesn’t teach you how to paint like her, but instead teaches you how to paint and develop your own artistic style and vision. I am going to continue studying with her until I reach the level of excellence that I demand of myself. She is gifted not only as an artist, but also as an articulate and well-organized instructor.
I’m very grateful to call her a colleague, my very capable painting teacher, and also a good friend. I think the world of her!

So-So to So-Cool Artistry Webinar is Excellent
The recorded webinar is excellent, Karen. I only caught part of it during the actual recording.
I just signed up for the 4-day webinar in May. Thanks for doing that.
The webinar approach will reach tons more folks, I believe, and generate lots more excitement for the great education and information you provide.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn from you in this way.
