The question of hyperrealist painting has never stopped since the birth of this art form, even after the emergence of so many hyperrealist painting masters such as Igar Ozeri and domestic such as Leng Jun, there are still people who grasp the so-called meaninglessness and valuelessness.
Even often there will be people who are not ashamed to leave a message, to paint a painting like a photo, only need to grind time, if you are willing to work hard, everyone can face the photo, draw exactly the same look. The reason why Xiao Dai uses "big words" to describe this type of person is that she knows that hyper-realistic painting is not something that anyone can paint, nor is it a superficial cognition that can be painted like this.
The birth of a hyperrealistic painting requires the artist's deep understanding and emotion, and indeed requires a lot of time and patience, but this is by no means a decisive factor, and the portrait of the painting is only a feature of hyperrealistic painting, not the only factor in considering the success of a work.
Of course, many people's attention to hyperrealistic painting is still curiosity, the understanding that they can also paint such a painting, but also just take it for granted, the artist Emma Tols Evans from the United Kingdom, often faces such doubts, asked whether creating such a hyperrealist painting, whether it is a simple imitation, whether it only takes time to invest... It bothers her from time to time.
It is understood that Emma Tols Evans is a self-taught artist, since the teenage years, she has been honing her pencil drawing skills, most of her works are done with pencils, portraits are her most commonly created subjects and objects, because of the use of only tools, so that each of Emma Tols Evans's works is as if it is taken out of black and white photos, her treatment and portrayal of skin, hair and even the makeup of the characters, have reached the extreme.
In response to the curiosity of many people, Emma Tols Evans began to shoot while painting two years ago, shooting each part of the painting with a camera, and when a work was completed, she also photographed the entire creative process. A seemingly simple painting basically takes 60 to 110 hours to complete, and the artist shows step by step how to achieve amazing realism with a pencil layer by layer.
Many people who have been dismissive of hyperrealistic painting have shut up after watching the painting process shared by Emma Torth Evans, and some netizens have also said that such complex and realistic hyperrealistic paintings cannot be learned casually, even if the eyes learn, their hands also need years to learn and train.
Okay, so let's take a look at the wonderful portraits created by this British hyperrealist artist.
