Learning Lab: Intro
Hey!
I’ve picked you for the case study for the Learning Lab’s official online course! This online space is designed to be the bridge from our imaginations to reality.
After years of developing software to render complex objects/materials/lighting, I feel it is my intention to distill the essence of that world into what is absolutely necessary for you, the painter, to learn in order to experience the highest possible degree of creative freedom in this domain. Together, we will combine our understanding of classical art theory with modern analytical ideas. As you will see, some artists have developed their entire careers from just small sections of the lessons!
