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 #2 he presents three fully narrated, comprehensive demonstrations, including 2 hours of solid instruction. The demonstrations included are of compo-sitions involving: a classic American baseball with all of its intricate red stitching, three luminous white eggs set against a rich, dark background, and a lovely grouping of violet grapesresting within a ornate gold vintage creamer!
Through Hall's innovative step-by-step approach, he outlines the painting 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.

Greetings,
If you don't have a blogger account, and rather not set one up, just leave a comment without a name. I'm interested in hearing what you think about the work, in addition to the international sustainable movement.
Thanks,
Hall Groat II, American Artist
