| | | | | | | | | Although the 3rd Annual Realism Live has come to a close, don't worry – you don't have to wait a whole year for another exceptional online art conference. Join us in January for Watercolor Live – we'll see you there! In the meantime, here's a recap from Day 3 of Realism Live. Enjoy! "This morning I painted along with Cornelia Hernes's still life. It has been the most gratifying thing I have done in a while. Every one of the instructors has offered so much information and encouragement. Thank you, Eric Rhoads and all who have put this incredible Realism Live together for all of the great artists out there who crave to become better painters." ~ Attendee during Day 3 of Realism Live Coming to us from Norway, Cornelia Hernes demonstrated an alla prima oil still life painting in three stages. Her setup included a copper pot, porcelain jar, glass bottle, and teacup. While they "overlapped" each other, she made sure there were areas in the composition where the eyes could pause. |

| | | Director and Founder of the Florence Academy of Art (FAA) Daniel Graves explained the process of traditional gesso preparation of panels, through to the final prepared canvas. In this Materials session, he welcomed FAA program director Toby Neve in the studio, to help field questions as Daniel led the demonstration. |

| In a rare presentation, master landscape painter Clyde Aspevig (aka "land-snorkeling* possibillionist") emphasized how we can see the interconnections and importance of art, and much more. He shared stories from his life, including that, to him, landscape painting is a celebration of life, saying, "I never looked back on the idea that I could not be an artist." After his talk about key moments and favorite books, Clyde went on to give a painting demonstration for us. He explained that while many of us have fears when we face a blank canvas, we should think "this canvas should be afraid of me." *Clyde credits his wife for this term, which she came up with while they were exploring the flora and fauna of Sedona, Arizona |

| | | In the following session, Peter Trippi led an informal dialogue with two leaders in the field of realism: Sharon Sprung and Mario Robinson. Their fascinating discussion covered "where we are" as a realism community today. |

| Terry Strickland joined us to explain how to mix and use her versatile flesh-tone palette in two mini demonstrations. Terry's Tip: Because mixing color can be a messy process, "Most of the time I mix my colors on a different palette and then transfer them onto a clean palette I'll be using just because mixing paint is a messy proposition." |

|
| | | | | In a unique presentation on portrait painting, we saw Rose Frantzen do a full demonstration that began as usual but then went into high speed with an audience Q&A taking place as the audio. This way, we could see the painting take shape while getting additional insights from Rose. One of the questions, for example, was, "What sort of role do you think your personality could have played early in your career in landing clients or gallery shows?" |

| In addition to all of these incredible lessons, we had special giveaways and prizes, unforgettable moments of sharing personal experiences, and promises to "meet again" next year at the 4th Annual Realism Live. Remember, if you can't wait until then, join us in January for Watercolor Live! See you soon! |
