There are many steps required to learn the fine art of realism. Starting from choosing the proper surface, to canvas preparation, to the final steps of varnishing. Beginning artists will learn some tips and tricks to create a realistic, finished painting. There will be a strong focus on color mixtures, brush strokes, and how to plan an interesting still life that tells a story. Time will be spent on symbolism of objects and flowers meanings with a minor focus on contemporary realist painters. Drawing skills are important but not required.
