Instructional DVD & Manual, Volume 1 | Traditional Realist Oil
Painting
American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD
series
demonstrates the techniques of the lost art of traditional realist
oil
painting. In volume #1 he presents five comprehensive
demonstrations,
offering nearly 2 hours of solid instruction. The demonstrations
included are of compositions involving: three lemons, radishes,
ballet
slippers, railroad conductor's pocket watch, and teacup & saucer.
Through his innovative, step-by-step approach he outlines the process
that was used by such 19th century painters as Edgar Degas and Edward
Manet. Using an easily understood teaching approach, Hall reveals
the
secrets behind creating dramatic light and shadow illusions to
compelling atmospheric spaces, all the way to rendering convincing
three-dimensional illusions of form and space. The two included
DVD's,
along with the accompanying manual, present a concise step-by-step
system, offering both the beginning and the professional artist the
necessary tools to successfully create traditional realist still life
oil paintings. Such topics are covered as establi****ng background
variation and movement, accents and cast shadows, and realizing the
primary and secondary planes of the motif. Each of the five
demonstrations is divided into phases with clearly stated topic
headings that correspond to the steps presented in instructional
guide. A glossary of painting terms is also included! All of the
demonstrations are approximately 15-30 minutes in length.
Hall has taught art for over twenty years, and currently is an
Associate Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews
Magazine
critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that Hall Groat II's still life
paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including
painters like Jean-Baptiste-Sim=E9on Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his
teacher Lennart Anderson." Collectors of his work have expressed
that
the work is "Alive, full of grace vitality and beauty, capturing
light
that is sublime in nature."
Groat is included in im****tant private and public collections
worldwide. These include actors, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta
Jones, Clear Channel Communications, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cellular
