Hall Groat II Traditional Realist Oil Painting -- Volume #1.
Published by New York Art Collection.
ISBN# 978-0-9799476-0-5
American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD series
demonstrates the techniques of the lost art of traditional realist oil

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 Edouard
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 included DVD, 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 the
instructional guide. A glossary of painting terms is also included!
All of the demonstrations are approximately 15-30 minutes in length.

balanced harmonies, and reveals the pros andcons of each! Each
demonstration includes spectacular close-up shots of various colors

introduced within volumes #1-#3!

Associate Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews Magazine

paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including

that is sublime in nature."
