I had to do a double take just now, I can't believe that's a painting! It looks amazing!

I wish I wasn’t colorblind so I could paint something as realistic as this

I wonder how people have the patience for this. Look at all the little details. I can’t imagine how much went into this. Such talent.

My brain refuses to believe this is a painting. Amazing work!

what did you paint with, a camera? very impressive
halborn t1_iycd2s7 wrote
Paint it as you see it. If it looks like something else to others, well, that's art.

Dude how are people this fucking good at painting?
Dopamine473 t1_iych36c wrote
Extremely realistic, wonderful showcase of skill. Though I must ask why do you create art that has very little subjective interpretation and focuses mainly on replicating that which already exists? This is not a critique in any way I am just curious what drives artists to do realism.

Boy, this is more realistic than the landscape photos that I have clicked.

Wow! You’re so talented, this is so realistic it’s like I can feel what it’d be like to be walking through this painting!

I can’t speak for this artist but I paint realism and I personally love the technical challenge - I like each piece to be more demanding than the last to drive myself to be constantly improving. But more than anything, I think that when you paint realism it makes you stop and notice every detail, and that there’s a real beauty in that. You notice so many things you’d otherwise glance over, whether that’s intricate patterns, the way shadows and light hit something, or spots of intense colour that would otherwise go unnoticed. I know a lot of people see it as uncreative or unexciting, but I think it makes me spot the exciting in the otherwise ordinary, and I really love that.

Such painstaking work and very well done. I'd hang that in my office. How many hours did this take you?
Dopamine473 t1_iycsv7a wrote
That's a nice explanation, thank you.

There’s 0 chance that this is not the most realistic painting I’ve ever seen.

I thought it was just a photo, initially. So realistic, amazing job

Have you seen the Hudson river school painters? They were able to make realistic paintings much like this, but they were also very aesthetically pleasing. This is well made, but it's ugly. You got the technique down, now you just have to get creative and make it beautiful.

Hey, I have an artist friend (who's really talented) that has a difficult time distinguishing brown and greens. Sometimes, he would ask us which is which.
Another schoolmate is also colorblind but creates amazing portraits though I noticed that it's always black and white.
These two would come into mind first if someone's gonna ask me if I could recommend somebody for art.
There's also an artist online who takes videos of her creating art with a different colored light on. Not the usual white/warm/cool lighting but like led lights (red, etc.). It's interesting because you can't see the real colors so nobody knows what the result would be like but still ends up incredible even with the playful colors.

I’m tongue-tide - It’s just so perfect. You’re truly talented. Thank you for sharing!

The problem is that with current technology, this COULD very well be a photograph that has been run thru filters in a program like Painter or others to produce a very similar effect. I take your point and agree that while I truly admire this artist's technical skills, the very thing that would make it transcendent is the very thing that is missing, any variance from slavish representing of "reality" to reflect a deeper representation of the artist's personal impression. And that, only in light of the ease with which a digital capture of reality may be turned into a representation of a painting.

Incredible! It looks so real.
BrooklynOnAFriday t1_iyeebea wrote
I completely get your point about technology, I have seen a lot of similar images that have been made digitally to emulate traditional fine art. I work in graphic design and the software I use every day has lots of tools for replicating realistic brush strokes, as well as textures to overlay onto the document as a whole. That being said, I think there are a huge number of objects and products that people continue to make by hand despite the fact that there are processes and machine that COULD also produce them. Certain markets continue to pay a lot more for clothes that have been sewn or knit by hand, pottery that has been hand sculpted, furniture that has been hand carved. I think the same applies to realist art, while many people will be happy with something digital or a photo, the market will still be there for a painting. In terms of the artists personal impression, I try to communicate things through composition, and I think you can say quite a lot whilst still conforming to the realist style. I think it’s also important to consider is the way the art is being received, it just doesn’t translate onto a screen, and while we can admire a painting for looking like a photo, for me I’ll always been amazed standing in front of a piece of realist art, seeing the tiny details but also the texture and depth that comes with brush strokes. That being said, I’m probably biased because this is the type of art I personally love most!
