IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM:

Dear Artists,

Imagine what it would be like to double your painting ability in the next few months… and have rare access to some of the worlds most accomplished artists and learn the techniques they have spent a lifetime figuring out, while spending the same (or even less) that you would spend on a workshop or a couple of videos.
  • Your confidence would skyrocket… 
  • ​You’d be able to paint things you never believed you could paint… 
  • ​You’d feel secure with your drawing skill… 
  • ​You wouldn’t have to spend your lifetime worrying about how to get to the next level… 
You’d finally be able to ‘switch off’ the anxiety of not being as good as you should be, and actually enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
So ask yourself… are you sick and tired of struggling in the studio trying to figure out how to take your artwork to the next level?

Do you wish you could be better at all forms of artwork you may encounter like painting people, faces, hands, eyes, landscapes, flowers, and objects? 

Wouldn’t it be nice to see how artists around the world approach painting and drawing so you can adopt the style and technique that best fits your personality?

Are you fed-up with the struggle of finding your own style? 

Then stop the stress and frustration of trying to figure these things out on your own and discover proven techniques often handed down from generation to generation.

This isn’t just an art class, or even art school. It's a rare gathering of world renowned artists who we were able to gather only because of the pandemic. 

You’ll be able to shift your gears into full throttle and approach painting and drawing with confidence that you’re not only doing it right, you’re doing it well.

Many of them have seen their ability more than double by investing just a few days of their time. Sounds hard to believe but it’s true.
Here’s how it works:
First, when you sign up we’ll send you a special link to the event. On the day we start you simply click on that link. You can watch it on your phone, tablet, computer or even your TV*. 

We’ll start out by building some energy in the morning. You can watch or participate if you have a camera on your device. Then we’ll jump right into lessons. You can paint along, draw, or take notes. 
You can take breaks as you need them because you can watch your replay later. (Every registration comes with replays).

A couple times each day, we’ll hold breakout sessions where you can meet other artists. You’ll have a chance to get to know people all over the world. You can talk about what you’ve learned, about your artwork, or just make friends. It's one of the best parts.
Then back to more lessons!
At the end of each day we’ll have a virtual online cocktail hour, where we will carry on a conversation with the entire group worldwide. And, if you want, you can paint along. We’ll provide a live model, or a scene, or a project to paint each day. (No model nudity)
 
Please note this goes on for three days from 11am to 8pm (Eastern time).

We suggest you block out the time as if you were out of town. 

Oh — and if you’re a beginner (or still working at perfecting some fundamental techniques), you can join our Essential Techniques Day where we will teach the basic principles at a beginner level in portrait, figure, still life, landscape and flowers. (Even the non beginners will love seeing the instructors).

(But it's a lot of fun even in the struggle.)

FIVE-STAR REVIEWS FROM PAST ATTENDEES:
"Absolutely heaven for painters. What a hoot, such a brilliant program that stimulated my brain and imagination, taught me new skills and gave me new ideas to try. I loved meeting the other painters and Eric and Peter. The quality work of the artists demonstrating was awe inspiring — and then to top it all off, just after it finished my swagbag arrived with goodies galore. Awesome conference guys, thanks so much."
–Vicki Sullivan
"I was blown away by the talent of the faculty of RealismLive!! I came away from the experience feeling like this art community is part of a large family. I just realized after attending #RealismLive this week, art unites. Artists from across the globe were there sharing their skills and knowledge in the pursuit of art, sustaining itself, like a nurturing family. Loved Bob Ross and Peter’s costumes. What fun group of people. Truly inspiring. I’m catching the wind, and it’s filling my sail. Thank you, Streamline Publishing team and faculty."
–Renee Nath
"Over the top. I rediscovered that I like to draw and look forward to honing those skills through the replays. The state of the art of realism in the talks by Dean, Peter, and Odd were magnificent and eye opening. Loved that the pre recorded demos had time lapse segments. This will be valuable on replay as the complete process was demoed. The interactive parts were great as well. I'm sold on this type of conference. No travel, sleep in my own bed and have the best seat in the house every day. Kudos to Eric, Peter, and the whole REALISMLIVE team. See you all at Watercolor LIVE."
–Donna Walsh
"I think when I look back on Realism Live from the future I will say that it was THE pivotal life changing event in my art career. Thank you Eric, Peter and all the artists that gave so much of themselves and of course a big thanks to all behind the scenes who made this ALL possible!"
–Patricia Gray
"For 25 years I’ve made my living as a painter. Others sometimes called me an artist, but I lacked the confidence to think of myself as such. A couple of workshops here and there just left me frustrated. While stuck at home because of Covid (and with Covid), I had a lot of time to think about the direction I wanted to take. An ad for this event popped up on my FB feed one day and I signed up. It was a real turning point for me. The quality and variety of instruction was amazing! Even better was the way they fostered “community”. When they announced Realism Live, I immediately signed up, not even knowing what that might mean. Once again, I was blown away by the whole experience. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this unique and wonderful Art experience. I am forever grateful!"
–Sally Bowers
"I had no clue what to expect from Realism Live being a watercolorist. Within a few minutes I had to paint along listening as Joshua LaRock explained the structure and form of an eye. Over the course of 4 days, figures and portraits began to emerge . I watched great talent and met great talent in the break out rooms but mainly I listened and painted. Realism Live fed life into me and I have advanced in my understanding of a movement I knew little about. I am fired up."
–Barbara Tapp
"I never thought I would get to go to realism live. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Realism Live rocked my world, is a game changer and life changing for me. I learned so much from everyone that presented and in the chats. I am encouraged, inspired, and so in awe of everything I learned (brain overload still -lol) I cried through watching several demos. This event was exactly what I needed to validate what I want to do. Now all I need to do, as Pierre would say, “Go Paint”. Which is exactly what I’m going to do."
–Katie Manner
"Realism Live so exceeded all expectations that even though I am not a watercolor artist, I enrolled in Watercolor Live."
–Patricia Caviar
"I thoroughly loved Realism Live. I already miss all the interaction and energy. The years of expertise and instruction shared and knowledge gained in just a few days is unbelievable! I am so looking forward to Watercolor Live. Totally inspired! Thank you for this opportunity! Already signed up for Watercolor Live!"
–Trish Dorton
"Magnificent! It truly exceeded what I imagined it would be. Being able to study with masters of Modern Realism in the company of other artists around the world, from whom I've learned what they had to share also, without leaving my studio, represents a lifetime opportunity for growth as an artist and advancement in the art world. I am thankful."
–Jeannina Blanco
"The week was full of incredible demos, instruction, new drawing and painting experiences, fun breakout rooms and fun dancing and chats. What I gained besides learning a bit about oil painting, was the confidence that I can actually learn to draw faces, figures, portraits, or whatever I want! I was a believer that I couldn't draw, so I avoided the subjects of people and figures. After attending Realism Live, I see that I can obtain these skills with some pointed practice. What a gift that is for sure, to open up the world of painting anything! But I will probably still enjoy painting flowers. I need to go back and work on 30 more demos this week and really make you proud, or at least not regret your kindness!"
–Kaye Licherdell
"The level of skill, and the manner in which it was presented by the artists just reached inside me and pulled out inspiration, and built confidence in very unexpected ways. I did not just learn technical skill, but met hearts, minds and souls. If that weren't enough, the community built through chat and zoom took the whole experience to a level nearing out of this world. Then we add the generosity of sponsors and Eric and his team, and now we are out of this world! My heart is full, my head is full, and my inspiration is on full steam. I know life is different because of this experience, I can't wait to find out just what that means! A thousand times thank you for Realism Live!"
–Jodi Epp
