Sometimes it's just not possible to attend a workshop in person,
But this is the next best thing!
NEW!
The ocean is rich in life and beautiful. That is why paintings of marine life enjoy such popularity. This project draws inspiration from the undersea world. In this video, Dru walks you through his step-by-step process, showing how he created this underwater painting.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough, that you need another class first, or that realism is too hard. You can do it! No matter your current skill level, you can achieve photorealism and become a better artist through these Classroom in a Box kits. We guarantee it.
