Since the ancient Greeks, realism has been aspired by Western art lovers, but during the late 1960s and '70s the popularity of highly-realistic drawings reached its peak. Thus, Photorealism and Hyperrealism were born. These perspective drawing genres are still popular, and some artists master their technique so successfully that it becomes hard to tell an oil painting or a pencil drawing from a photograph. Bored Panda collected some of the best examples of this cool art and made a stunning list for you to enjoy.

Drawing and painting purple irises can be a challenge! It is also a great opportunity to draw these intricate, undulating shapes, and to create some beautiful violets and purples, through mixing and mingling on the paper. We will use a range of colors to get both cool and warm temperatures, so that these irises will glow with warmth. For this project, you'll need the following watercolor pigments (or something close to it): Quinacridone Rose (or Permanent), Quinacridone Magenta (or Permanent), French Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Burnt Orange (or Burnt Sienna), Sap Green, Alizarin Crimson, New Gamboge, and Aureolin Yellow (or Hansa Yellow). You'll also need some salt, and some alcohol (the rubbing kind) in a little bottle with a dropper -- for texture. 1. Start with a pencil drawing, on the white watercolor paper, which has been mounted on a board. Finish your drawing by adding long narrow leaves in the background. Be sure to take them off the edge of your paper, so as to divide the negative space into interesting shapes. 2. Prepare a gold wash for the background. Mix Quinacridone Gold with Yellow (New Gamboge). Mix up enough water and paint together to cover the entire background. Since you will be painting this onto dry paper, you need more water than usual. Have a dropper-bottle of rubbing alcohol on hand. 3. Paint this gold wash over the background. Paint the wash onto dry paper, painting around the iris blossoms, but over the leaves and stems of the flowers. Have your board at a slight angle when you paint, so that you have a "bead" at the bottom of the wash. When you pick up more gold from your palette, you will pick up the "bead" where you left off, and paint downward from there. Don't go back into what you've just painted. Continue painting this gold wash until you come to a stopping point, at the bottom. Then, lay the board flat, and add a few drops of alcohol to this wash. Finish painting the rest of the background with this gold wash. Then, lat it flat again and drop in a little of the alcohol drops. Let this dry completely. (There's no right or wrong way to add these drops. Don't worry if it doesn't look exactly like this -- we're just adding a little "texture" to the background.) 4. Paint the Yellow "Beards". Clean off the gold wash from your palette. Then, prep two Yellows -- like Aureolin Yellow and New Gamboge. You won't need much. Paint the "beards" with these yellows. You can also paint a little of the yellow onto the middle veins of a few of the petals. 5. Prep 3 pigments for the purple iris petals. Clean off the yellow from the inside area of your palette. Now, prep 3 pigments -- French Ultramarine, Quinacridone Rose, and Quinacridone Magenta. 6. Paint each petal with these three colors. Working wet-in-wet, start with the Rose, then switch to the Magenta. Finish off the petal with the Blue. While the petal is still wet, turn your board upside down, touch your brush to the blue, and "pull down" a few strokes of the blue, into the pink. Don't "fuss" too much. Then, move on to the next petal. Painting in this manner, move from petal to petal, but painting every other one -- so that you don't get in trouble by painting right next to a petal that's still wet. Change it a little on the bottom petals, the "falls", by touching some rose to the bottom lacy edge at the end. Now, move to the bottom flower. Try something a little different with some of these petals, using the same three colors. Wet half of the petal with clear water, then touch the frilly edge with the Rose, all the way around the edge. Then touch the other edge with the Magenta, leaving the middle unpainted. Then, paint a few strokes of the Blue. Continue painting every other petal this way, mingling the colors in different ways. Go back up to the top flower, and finish painting the petals. Then, do the same with the bottom flower. 7. Paint the background leaves. Clean off the inside area of the palette, and then prep three Greens -- 1) Sap Green, 2) Sap Green + Cobalt Blue, and 3) Cobalt Blue + Aureolin Yellow. Use these greens, wet in wet, to paint the background leaves . . . 8. Paint the stems. Prep two Greens -- Sap Green, and Sap Green + Yellow; and prep a Quinacridone Burnt Orange (or Burnt Sienna). Use these warm colors to paint the stems and the buds. 9. Paint another layer of Gold in the background. Clean off the palette, and then prepare another Quinacridone Gold wash. Once again, you'll be painting wet on dry, so be sure to mix enough paint/water. This time, you will paint only the negative background shapes -- NOT the leaves. After painting each background shape, sprinkle it with salt. Let this dry completely, and then brush off the salt. 10. Mix up some deep Purples and a Blue. Clear off the gold wash from your palette, and then prep three dark colors -- 1) French Ultramarine, 2) Quinacridone Magenta + French Ultramarine, and 3) Alizarin Crimson + French Ultramarine. 11. Darken the petals. Strengthen and deepen the colors of each petal, without becoming too opaque -- you want some of the original colors to show through. You can leave some of the upper petals as is, except for the base of each petal, which you can darken. You can see how you don't darken every part of each petal, and that the bottom "falls" are generally darker than the upper petals. If you find that you've gotten too opaque, or that you want to lighten an area, lift out some highlights with a damp brush. 12. Add more green to the leaves and stems. Mix up two more greens -- Sap Green, and Sap Green + Cobalt Blue. Paint all the leaves and stems again with these two Greens and plenty of water, to strengthen the colors, but still keep it transparent. You can also add a few darker colors to the tan parts of the stems, using a mix of Burnt Orange + Magenta. If you like, you can stop your painting right now, and call it done. Or, you can proceed to finish as I did, with these last two steps. 13. Paint a Burnt Orange glaze over the background shapes. This will tone down the texture a bit. If you like your gold background with the texture, don't do this step. 14. Paint a few dark greens on the leaves and stems. Mix up a dark green (Sap Green + French Ultramarine). Darken a few areas of the leaves and stems with this green. And, you're finished! Be sure to sign it.

Round two on the floors at the new Reading store had Colin taking over completely after about 5 hours of squatting and shifting across the floor. I couldn't take it anymore! My knees and butt were worn out and any muscles found in the gluteus maximus were being rediscovered with a vengeance and they begged me to be kind and knock it off!! So at about 4 in the afternoon I switched to ragging the walls. At least I could stand and climb a ladder and when I got down low I could plop onto the ground and sit on my fanny. This pic was taken by hubby as he stopped by to see our progress around dinner time...I think he was looking for his wife but she was no where to be found. While Colin continued on the slow going cobblestone creation I got to the ragging~there was a lot of ponytail flying and hands moving in quick motions. I ragged the walls with smears of Chalk Paint® in Country Grey and Paris Grey. Spritzed with a water bottle and then ragged the mixture across the wall doing two foot sections at a time. You hardly use any paint doing this technique and it gives such an atmosphere~and its fun! Hubby took his mom along for the ride and here she watches her daughter in law make something new look old. I am not quite sure she gets this idea...haha! Colin and I were out the door so early and we were determined to get the cobblestones done. But we underestimated how time consuming it is to faux every cobble....and so after many hours of doing the squats I switched to the walls. This picture is so funny because I have my gym pants on backwards!! And I didn't even realize it...that is how much in the zone I get when I open a store. I am so focused on getting there and doing stuff that I will find myself wearing mismatched socks and in this case backwards pants! Anyway, the walls were coming along nicely~ And quickly! Colin shows off the colors we used for the cobbles~French Linen and Paris Grey. This was our system when we worked together...see my "knee pad resting station" right there? Its a folded over drop cloth. Anyway, I start by laying out the cobbles sponges after rolling them with paint, and then Colin follows along and adds smears and swipes of French linen and Graphite and then sponges it in. Very simplistic, but what a great effect when you are standing up looking at it~! I made a little rolling cart with a box to hold the paint so I could push it along the floor. You have to think of ways to make life easier on jobs like this. By the end of yesterday we got this far~half the floor and half of a wall...its getting there. But here is the kicker: I scheduled our family vacation a year ago for this coming week, having no idea I would be opening a store. Ugh. So today I leave for a vacation and Colin and Justin are going to complete the store or do as much as they can. So til then both you and I will be in the dark and have to wait to see how it all comes out!!!! OMG!!! Can I walk away and give up this much control? I will try my best~
