Description
The Edwardian Era was a great time for fashion. After the outward social stiffness of the Victorian Era, King VII came onto the stage with a bit of flair and a more relaxed approach, and things slowly started to evolve. With the new century also came a desire for innovation, and designers became increasingly inventive each year.

The aim of the hyperrealism is to create a compelling false reality in the eye of the viewer and to leave them in awe at the high level of skill involved. A good hyperrealist painter can go beyond slavishly copying a photograph by knowing how to manipulate the detail and recompose the image, to enhance the emotional impact. Anyone who disparages hyperrealism as "only a photograph" obviously has contempt for photography as an art form.

Hyperrealism is an extension of photography. It exists because cameras have made striking imagery accessible to all. There is a subtle difference between hyperrealism and photorealism. There is a consensus that hyperrealism is an extension of photorealism. The latter is the meticulous copying of a photograph, reproduced as a 2D image, such as drawing, painting, or digital, while the former includes sculpting. Photorealists can copy any picture faithfully, while hyperrealists transcend photography by adding emotion to the subject. The nuance dividing the two is so subjective that it's meaningless.

In the art classes I will start teaching next December (kindly refer to the Post Spotlight section on the home page), I will explain the techniques I use in digital painting to achieve the same hyperrealism achieved with traditional painting techniques.
