Realism: What is it?

Realism is a style of painting. It's basically paintings of things that are easily recognizeable.

In other words, I paint stuff that looks like the stuff I see.

Some people artistically take realism a step or two further and call it 'photo realism' when things look photographic, or 'hyper realism' when things are more in focus and more realistic than what a photograph will or can actually capture.

I prefer to just simply call all of it realism...
