Originals in this selection, Photorealism, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Formats from 28.2 x 21 to 48 x 62.5 cm.
Resolution that tolerates closeness
Photorealist drawing takes time: hours for an eyelash, days for a fold in fabric, until the surface no longer reads as strokes. Photorealistic drawings for sale from 1,000 to 2,000 euro suit anyone who wants to see craft at the highest resolution.
At this tier, sheets are often larger and more densely worked. Graphite, pastel or charcoal produce a tonal range that does not fall apart even up close. The pages on graphite and pastel show the breadth of the style.

Setting the light right
The smoother the rendering, the more sensitively it reacts to reflections. For large sheets choose low-glare glass and a spot without a window directly opposite. Warm light from the side models the surfaces particularly well.
Learning to read the craft
Ask to see details in close-up, such as skin, metal or glass. They reveal how securely the tonal values are set. Also ask about paper type, fixing and, if available, how long the work took.
