Paint This!
Dru takes you step by step through his creation process of this painting from a first-person perspective with almost 11 hours of real-time instructional online video shot during an actual workshop. He also discusses tips for balancing contrasts as well as the application of masks and other tools to help you obtain great results! Dru obtained special permission to use this image, originally from a photograph by Remco Walravens, and now you can create your very own version of this painting.
In the accompanying instructional videos, Dru will reveal the colors he uses to obtain brilliant tones, as well as his system for the best results for this project.

Why learn from us?
Just ask our former students. We have trained over 9,000 people since our airbrush school was founded 25 years ago, and we are proud to be considered the world's best airbrush school since we opened. Almost all of the world's best instructors train with us. We developed many of the airbrush techniques currently used all over the world.
Dru Blair teaches his subject in his popular Photorealism workshop which starts at $975. Our Classroom in a Box projects offer unlimited reviews for a fraction of the price. Not only will you save hundreds of dollars, but you will also have the luxury of working at your own pace and in your own comfortable surroundings. You won't even need to take time off from work, book travel and lodging, or get a sitter for the kids or pets.
Classroom in a Box kits make it easy to learn many of the techniques that Dru Blair teaches in his workshops in the privacy of your own home or studio. The kit comes with all the materials you need to recreate the project as shown. All you supply is your own airbrush and air source.
As paints and tools can be reused with many projects, you may purchase this and other Classroom in a Box projects without paint or tools to reduce your costs. Classroom in a Box makes it possible to enjoy a Dru Blair Workshop for a fraction of the cost of enrolling at his school!
Even if you have taken this workshop in the past, now you have the opportunity to purchase this kit as a refresher. If you have never attended a Dru Blair workshop, this is a great first step to gain insight about what it is really like to be in his classroom.
While it's true that nothing beats hands-on, one-on-one training for learning, we realize that it's not always possible to travel to one of Dru's workshops.
That is why the Classroom in a Box kits have become important to many artists who strive to improve their skills and bring more realism to their work.
The kit includes access to video content, featuring step-by-step instructions about how to use supplies and tools.
The reference photo is produced on a high-resolution Giclée printer.
Usage rights are included with the Classroom in a box, so purchasers can paint this image, again and again, royalty-free. Usage rights of kit materials and videos themselves are non-transferable, and distribution of the kits, videos, and/or their content to the public is prohibited without written consent.
Some students have even sold their art created with the kit for more than the cost of the kit itself!

This is a full workshop project from beginning to end - Just like being in the classroom with Dru teaching! You see the project as a first-person viewer. The camera is positioned in front of the instructor, not over the shoulder, so you will see the project develop in real-time, as Dru's eyes would see it.
