One of my most photo realistic paintings I've created was this Giraffe. To capture such detail, the use of the right brushes is key. I'm using more smaller sized brushes here and that combined with the control and brush technique are all working towards creating really fine, intricate brush strokes. My aim for this painting was to capture the lighting and as much detail as I could. I really wanted to see how far I could push myself in this painting. - - - 12" x 16" acrylic painting Reference pho
