Move over, Picasso! Your squiggly lines and cubism are being cast aside. It’s time for a new era: photorealism. Okay, we’re just joking. Obviously Picasso isn’t going anywhere, and neither is abstract art. But, we do want to introduce you to a genre of art that wows and wonders with how true-to-life it looks. As fun as abstract art is, there’s nothing like some photo-realism to amaze and enchant. So sit back, relax and get ready to step into a world of confusingly realistic paintings.

Every single hair has to be in place, but at the same time, nothing can look too perfect. It’s quite a challenge to create all of the different textures life can produce.
