About hyperrealism we usually publish some news when we find an artist of those who they leave us a little dumbfounded for the great ability and talent they possess to reflect on a canvas a small portion of those moments that pass our eyes in the form of reality.
Dutch artist Emmy Kalia is one of the talented painters who with 8 colored pencils is able to leave us astonished when we find that video on YouTube in which he demonstrates, step by step, the strokes given to make up that hair that almost seems to be about to come off that sheet.
The domain of hyperrealism needs your time and your study, but it is in this small work where Kalia shows us the intricate process to gradually draw lines and dark tones to give that feeling of realism that the artist herself seeks.
Hyperrealism is not easy and that today we can equip ourselves with certain tools that allow us to streamline processes, especially that of the study. From smartphone apps that tell us RGB values from a scene captured with the camera, to the device itself that allows us to capture that moment to be able to work on it without having to go through a photographic studio as happened a few decades ago.
This has allowed us discover new artists who are showing their great expertise with hyperrealism and how it is becoming a more fashionable technique. Antonio Tordesillas happened 8 months ago, Steve Hanks with his special watercolor: Lee Price with this special work, are a sample of that hyperrealism that floods our days.
You can follow Emmy Kalia on on Instagram where you have hundreds of thousands of followers and where he is showing his latest work. Not all are of the same quality as the main painting in this post, but it shows how difficult it is to master hyper-realism.
