That is exactly the point of hyperrealism. "Extreme detail and ethereal lighting effects are often added to create an appearance of reality, in contrast to mere photographic simulation." "Photographs are an artificial simulacrum of an image captured in time. Hyperrealism considers photography as a process tool of art from which to exploit the painted illusion of a representation of a representation. Hyperrealism exceeds its photographic reference source in optically convincing surface details, spatial depth and lighting effects." Many edges are softened on purpose to get closer to reality Unfortunately it is impossible to completely 'hide' the strokes when you use acrylic paint with brushes. An airbrush can give perfect results, such as Denis Peterson's paintings: http://www.denispeterson.com/hyperrealism.html Anyway, it was my first attempt. Actually it's my first ever "serious" painting, like not just a scetch.

1, Thanks for the nice compliments 2, the proportions can't be off, I used grids and I was never done with an area until it was perfect in my eyes 3, many of the colors are off because of the bad photograf of the painting that I also tried to fix in photoshop. The strokes are also more visible in pictures of it than on the actual painting in real life. Acrylics are weird paint. The colors and the stroke's visibility changes a lot depending on the lighting. Here is an unedited picture taken in the same lighting as the first one, and after I varnished it:

How do you get that from the article? I'm dead serious. Here are some work in progress shots:

Hello! It's been quite a while since I was here... I have lost interest for coasters ages ago. I have gotten into a modern art movement called hyperrealism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperrealism_%28painting%29 ). Modern architecture is also another new interest, and I'm going to become an architect Here is my first contribution to hyperrealism: Painted by freehand, with acrylics and regular brushes, on a canvas. It took 6 months to paint, 450-600 hours. An art gallery in London has already shown interest read more and see a larger image here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52335458/ greetings Ville aka.

Muse!!

Will this be open before May 18th?

Wow, congratulations to Balder for beating El Toro

That's a snow storm! Hah! Last winter cars were completely burried in Oslo!

I have decided to leave the coaster world, so I'll confess that I am the one and only, good old NCF Thanks for two great years here at TPR, the only bad experience was Robb's intolerant attitude against me (although I can partly thank myself for that) Goodbye, and ride all the great new coasters for me
