This painting was done as an exploration into a very tight, realistic style. I painted it with medium, mostly liquin, which is somewhat discouraged now, but was recommended by my instructor at the time. I have taken some classes over at Crealde here in Orlando, and I can't really say enough about the instructors there. They are just superb. If you live in Orlando, and you want to learn how to paint, Crealde is the way to go.
