About the Artform

Realism is an art style that focuses on making pieces look as realistic and true-to-life as possible. While the subjects may sometimes appear somewhat stylized, realism seeks to present issues as they look in real life. In our beginner’s workshop, we shall mainly use Charcoal charred sticks of wood to produce a finished portrait as realistic as possible.
