Description: Do you ever question the value of photorealism in the digital age? In this two-day instructional workshop, we will discuss originality in photorealism and the importance of purpose through the hand of the artist, focus on the artist’s specific step-by-step drawing process to achieve photorealism, and introduce participants to new materials and direction that will help to boost the photorealistic quality of the final drawing.
The step-by-step process includes:
- Staging photo reference

About the instructor:
After building a solid foundation at the Ringling School of Art and Design, Joseph Crone graduated from the Herron School of Art and Design in the summer of 2010 with a BFA in General Fine Arts, focusing on rendering the human figure through drawing and printmaking. While his attention to visual detail through drawing is in a constant state of evolution, the development of cinematic storytelling is his current focal point.
His work has also been awarded with Grand Prize for the Shades of Gray competition by American Artist Drawing magazine, Best in Show by Artist Portfolio, and First Place for the “Classic” competition by BLUECANVAS magazine. Featured work and articles can also be found in publications such as International Artist Magazine, American Artist Magazine, The Artist’s Magazine, and Manifest's own International Drawing Annual to name a few. Crone currently works and resides in Indianapolis, Indiana with gallery representation through Lovett’s Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
LOCATION: All courses are hosted at Manifest's Drawing Center Studios in Madisonville at 4905 Whetsel Avenue (second floor) (see map and direction links below). Manifest's studio facility provides two classrooms totalling nearly 4000 square-feet. The
