Portrait Painting Tutorial | Make it Realistic
In this week’s portrait painting video we will be exploring realism. In this case we will refer to it as “classical realism” (Please don’t confuse this term with anything other than what I’m telling you). This means we will use a “classical” painting approach to create a “realistic” oil painting. Let’s remember the goal is here is never to copy a photograph. It is about interpreting visual information to create a painting.
