>are you sure you know what painterly means?
positive. did you watch the video? there are several clear examples in it.
> there are hundreds of artists doing super realist paintings that just look like photos and if you're impressed by that
I'm not, as I've already explained.
>it's pretty obvious you haven't done much painting yourself
I've been painting for years, I have a degree in painting, and a studio where I make a living selling paintings
>she just copied it exactly how it is
wut. she rarely does that (except in her early work), and when she does, she creates a painting that I'm not interested in.
>I suspect that for most viewers of her painting that the awe factor comes from not being able to believe that its a painting
quite the opposite for me. When I saw them at a distance I wasn't too interested, they seemed too photographic. But when I got closer, I could see how textural and painterly the actual brushstrokes were. When your face is a foot from the canvas, they seem almost abstract.
