About the video: Photoshop and reference image
Overview
“Hyperrealism is a technique that requires the perception of small details, so the best option is that you have images with good quality or at least that capture the texture of the surface you would like to paint.

In this lesson, we will think about the choice of the reference image. And then I'll explain how I work with it using Photoshop software.”
