You will have streaming access on our virtual event platform, designed to be compatible with the largest number of devices. For the evening Cocktail Hour & Paint-along, we will be using Zoom free meeting software. The bandwidth will vary depending on connection speed and many other factors — we would estimate around 5GB of data will get used for the event.
Note:The conference is NOT delivered via Facebook or YouTube.
The demos are NEW content with some being live and some being pre-recorded with the artist talking live over the demo.
Cocktail Hour painting will be an image on the screen that everyone paints.It will have some interactive feature but that’s still TBD
Breakout sessions are live networking sessions where you will be paired with 3 - 5 other artists for 10 - 15 minutes of discussion.
The feedback from attendees of our previous virtual conferences is that this is their favourite part - to be able to meet and talk about art with other painters just like you!!!
It’s a Private Facebook for Realism Live. We have a way that we're allowing people to communicate as a community.
