Classroom in a Box : Serpent Eye - Full kit
Make a photorealistic Serpent Eye
One could hardly ask for a more beautiful eye in the animal kingdom. This project uses several special effects, such as the "skeet" technique, depth of field, and buffered contrast reduction to achieve a photorealistic painting.
You'll start with the kit, which includes the stencils needed to establish proper proportions and edges, reference photo, Blair Airbrush paper, aggressive eraser, dowel, mixing cups, paint, and permanent online access to a two-hour instructional video. All you need is a working airbrush and access to the internet.
Dru has designed his classroom in a box home study courses just for you. Dru is 100% committed to making his lessons the best and most informative they can be. Each Classroom in a Box walks you through the project step-by-step just like being at a Dru Blair workshop.
Classroom in a Box home study courses are recorded in real-time using HD video and narrated by Dru Blair himself as he walks you through your project and explains not only every mark he makes, but more importantly, why he makes those marks, as well as why he chooses to use one technique over another. Classroom in a Box home study courses: the next best thing to being there!
