From the Foreword by Scott Stulberg

“Watching Karen Sperling explain the inner workings of Corel Painter
to us in our little get-togethers was like hanging out with Michelangelo
explaining how he chisels away at his sculptures. For me, I don’t think
there is anyone on earth who understands this program better or
is more talented with using Painter than Karen.

“I love seeing the finished pieces of work she does with my photographs
as they are absolutely stunning and I wish I had just a little of the talent
she has with this program.

“I really cannot say enough about what an amazing job Karen did with
Painting for Photographers Volume 2 as it is so easy to follow and shows
so many different variations to create paintings from photographs. Each
chapter is unique and can turn anyone into an artist! Karen really is a
magician and I know that no one else can really explain the intricacies of
this unbelievable painting program like Karen. As an author myself, I
know what goes into making books and I know that this new book from
Karen is going to be an absolute winner.”
