Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Realism art style prioritizes portraying real-life subjects and scenes objectively, without idealization or romanticization. Details are crystal clear; people, objects and landscapes are depicted accurately. Lighting and perspective are used reiteratively to highlight depth, space and volume. To create Realist art, study, observe and replicate details thoroughly, utilize nuanced color palettes, depict unadorned scenes from daily life, and finely articulate light and shadow.
