I have just discovered this artist Sarah Graham whose painting are just amazing. They look so real, unless you look closer, you could mistake them for photographs.
Her work is based on the pop culture and inspired by her working in Woolworths at the age of 16.
Implications - As digital photography and computer-based art continues to improve, amateur artists are increasingly able to create astounding masterpieces. Professional artists are standing out from the crowd by rediscovering traditional techniques and mediums. Photorealistic paintings, drawings and portraits done with pencil, paint and pen represent fine art that only the most talented designers can produce, which adds value and desirability to their portfolios.
