Can’t believe they are not photographs.They look so real #incredible

Lisa August 21, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Alyssa Monks uses oil on linen, if you click through you can see the brush strokes detail. Splash is oil on canvas.

Artists don’t automatically have photo-realistic abilities. It takes time and practice, you have to prove that you can do it. So to those saying “what is the point when you could take a photograph” and that they could do something more interesting with their time, their art isn’t just one painting, it is a journey always trying new things, trying to get better, and always learning.

the last one with the earrings is a photograph, the “artists” made this whole spiel about it being a painting as a joke…. casts some doubt on the rest of the “paintings” here.

viny August 26, 2009 at 8:32 am

me sorprece is something that I am learning also to do how is everything?

Paislie August 28, 2009 at 9:02 am

Those are amazing!! I want one! ha

Globlin August 30, 2009 at 11:51 pm

Lmafo, number nine is a joke chumps. Peace

Masud Rana September 5, 2009 at 4:04 am

The number 9. must be a photograph.

Crazy GOOOD September 5, 2009 at 10:19 pm

all I have 2 say is……………………. WOOOOOOOOOOOW!

zach September 6, 2009 at 11:39 am

i am pretty sure most of those are fakes, seriously, and the one even says “this photoshop contains over 15000 images” well that would be a lot of work, certainly, but that doesn’t make it a painting, it still makes it just a picture. and number 9 is obviously a photograph, from the individual strands of hair to the texture of her skin and teeth, no painter could possibly achieve that level of detail with a brush. i call shenanigans on pretty much all of these.

egypt web design September 6, 2009 at 1:28 pm

wow nice collection

Rafter242 September 7, 2009 at 9:05 am

Number 9 is not a fake.
You can see the making of it online.
Several of these (including #9 and #3) are not traditional paintings, but created in photoshop.
Still, an amazing achievement.

Anonymous September 8, 2009 at 3:42 am

should i have my image?

Harry September 8, 2009 at 4:27 am

Sometimes these photo-like paintings offer us something interesting, but when you look at the late rembrandt self-portraits, you see a man who uses the paint expressively as well as a means of intense visual description

Имели мы вас всех имеем и будем иметь.
Совершенно секретно, гриф секретности 10. Теперь мы бессмертны, мы света и тени смеси, и дом наш будет поднебесье храм указующем перстом.
Заряд бластера на максимум в другой руке кусок пластика, я ползла ползла ползла слыша поступь вибрации по коммуникациям крейсера, по трубав винтеляции. Выстрел один, другой, третий достали вы меня братцы, за пазухой капсула вырезать лазером лаз в низ, разум в прострации а в теле проснулась машина убицйства, я помню точно точно вашу сверх секретную формулу …

Godspeed September 9, 2009 at 3:24 am

Мы всеравно сильней

jess September 15, 2009 at 10:01 am

number 9 is an airbrushed painting. (zach) the artist who did it even founded an airbrush school, and i’m studying under him in another week! i’m stoked

Ren September 15, 2009 at 11:47 am

These are amazing I hope I have the ability to aspire such art in my lifetime.

Joyce September 15, 2009 at 9:55 pm

This is almost impossible, but I know now day any thing is possible. I do a little and have a sister that does oils.But this gosh it is so clean . Thank you …..J.

ORPHANANNIE September 17, 2009 at 11:43 pm

These are truly amazing. The milk in Milk Girl looks a little too viscous though, like paint almost, it should be thin like water.

Anonymous September 18, 2009 at 7:40 pm

Number 9 looks fake. Nobody can get that detailed. But in light of all that why not just take a photo? If these ARE real, then I can appreciate them for extreme technical proficiency only. I find hyper-photorealistic work incredibly boring.

me September 26, 2009 at 3:17 pm

many, if not most of these are just photographs with filters applied in photoshop to make them look like paintings.

admin September 27, 2009 at 4:39 am

Retard.. most are paintings. Please think for second before posting next time.

Ang September 29, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Truly gifted artists.

asha ray October 5, 2009 at 9:38 am

alyssa monks, diego gravinese and eric zener are now my new favorites! thanx 4 sharing this awesomeness! ;-)

bebo October 5, 2009 at 4:04 pm

gooooooooooood

Denis October 6, 2009 at 7:28 am

I think that for any art movement we have good and bad artists.

We can say that also a photo is warm or cold.

Photorealist must be great painters, they can also interpret the original image, like Chuck Close.

Some years ago, I was lucky to see some work about an italian photorealist, starting from the begin.

She started from a color photo, for realizing a b/w paint. It was amazing, she trasformed the color image in her mind, giving to the paint deep of field and blur.

here a link to her work – http://www.chiaraalbertoni.com

what amazing work, an inspiration. The female portrait is out of this world with painstaking detail!!!

kitt November 20, 2009 at 10:15 pm

#9 is NOT a fake. I thought so too until I remembered that picture being covered by AIRbrush magazine a couple yaers ago. It is real.

BRB November 25, 2009 at 1:34 am

cool! I wish I could paint like that..
though hyper realism isn’t my style ^^

Duey November 30, 2009 at 8:43 am

Wow, these are really incredible. I love all of them but my favorite is probably the first one, Shower Scene :)
