You’ll learn how to study a reference photo, identify what is actually creating the illusion of realism, and make thoughtful decisions about where to add detail, where to soften, and where to let the light do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; caret-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eWeek One: We’ll begin with a study of negative space and how it shapes a strong composition.
