Close to the Edge – A Webinar on Edge Handling for Realist Artists

Here’s the replay of a webinar I gave on February 25th, 2016 about edge handling.

I painted two small studies of a lemon simultaneously. The first is done with all hard edges, whilst the second has a variety of edges. Hopefully this goes some way to showing how much difference edge handling can make to the feeling of depth in a painting, even in small studies like this.

Here’s a clearer (and colour-corrected) pic of the two studies at the point at which I left them at the end of the webinar:
