PHOTOREALISM Photorealism is a clear painting that looks
realistic and looks exactly like printed photo image. 1. The

2. The Photo- Realist uses a mechanical or semi mechanical means to
transfer the information to the canvas. 3. The Photo-Realist must
have the technical ability to make the finished work appear
photographic. 4. The artist must have exhibited work as a
Photo-Realist by 1972 to be considered one of the central
Photo-Realists. 5. The artist must have devoted at least five years
to the development and exhibition of Photo-Realist work.

The characteristic for realism is that the painter has tried to
make the images look like a realistic photograph that has been
taken by a camera. The characteristic of these two pictures of
drinks and three cans are that they look realistic they also have
loads of colours to it, but the colours are the actual colours they
the drinks have in real life. Other characteristics for these
pictures is that they both look dull and they want all of the eye
attention to the centre of the pictures which are of the drinks.
Because the drinks are brightly coloured you can also tell that the
painter wanted all the eye attention to the drinks. Characteristic
for realism
