Could have saved a ton of time and just took a picture.
MetaSomma
I love how the artist had to intentionally texture parts of it to show flaws

A water painting oil painting.

Hang it on a wall and get asked q thousand times "why do you have a pic of a glass of water?" Because it looks too real. ?
Copperbrat
Then it was a success. That's one of the reasons people create and collect hyperrealistic art.

Gorgeous
abrakadumbass
so she set a glass of water on an oil paining and took a picture of it?
pomax
But... why? Is it just a practice piece? Do people actually buy photorealistic paintings of glasses of water? Who are these people?
dobroweigh
...fire in the sky.

Magnificent!

Well shit, sometimes you see a thing that makes you think what the hell am I doing with my life
WhichIsIt
A glass of water can make you question it all.
BoomBoomParrot
Is it half full or half empty though?
SheTurnedMeIntoANewtButIGotBetter
i wish it had a little less water so i could say it looked about 5/7.
kyreizero
I dont get it
WombatWithWholeWheatWish
Look a glass of water which could have been a photo. I’m impressed. This is art.
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
That is amazing, I can't even begin to understand how paintings like this are made
mizzerg
With paint and patience?

Possibly the strongest silent American accent I have ever (not) heard.

I think it's the way she opens her mouth for the Y and how it matches the O in god... that's just my gander...

As an American, I always forget people can see my accent as much as I can see a British or Australian accent :) thanks for the reminder

That's a glass a water. I don't see any oil or canvas.

if you look really close you can see some of the sideways brushstrokes and texturing on the right edge of the glass
Jackhawk9000
Rookie mistake on part of the artist
Isorikk
You can kinda see the brush strokes on the bottom of the glass, but still hard to believe

It looks like a photograph of literally a glass of water sitting on top of an oil on canvas painting.
thetonestarr
Found a larger version (then I came back here & it turns out @Vetinari beat me to it) - you have to look closely, but it really is all paint
EmanonInverse
Vetinari is ALWAYS a step ahead. That's how you gotta be to run Ankh-Morpork.
Zaynara
alright, serious question, why go to all the trouble to paint something so lifelike when you could just take a photo of it in mere seconds?
whiskinputwarbles
My guess is that a photo doesn't capture the nuances that she wished to express. I'll be damned if I can distinguish those nuances though.
TresusIbor
"Fuck all yall, I kick ass!"
sweetnaivety
yeah but you can't say I PAINTED THAT!! on a photo. This shows off ability.
IWasACatAllAlong
Because you want to prove that you can. Or just to see how far your powers have grown.

It’s relaxing. Smoke a joint and grab my acrylics. That’s my kinda Saturday night!
ForboJack
It requires high skill.
TimeFoDat
Well as a painter you might just enjoy the challenge. Why spend hundreds of hours playing video games? Oddly enough both can make you money.
TimeFoDat
Art isn't always practical though it does have a practical context. If someone is willing to pay $$$ for this b/c of the technique, why not?
SherMattLockSmith
Demonstration of skill.
ColoneISanders
I mean, why go for a walk or jog or run when you can just drive places? It's all about the journey/enjoyment of the process
bonemarrowbiopsy
I like your answer to the question.
Copperbrat
Well, for one thing you can make pretty good money selling hyperrealistic artwork. If you can, it's more like "why wouldn't you"?
Zaynara
but you could take a photo! and it'd be the same thing! right? but 1000x easier to make>?
Copperbrat
Yes, you could take a photo. But I guarantee they would not sell as well as a realistic painting or prints of a realistic painting. 1/
Copperbrat
You asked. I'm seriously answering the question. There is a real and substantial market for hyperrealism in the art world. You can spend 2/
Copperbrat
all day arguing about whether a photo would achieve the same thing, but a photo is missing the element which makes hyperrealistic art 3/
nerarth
I personally do not aim for realism or perfection because it's exceedingly difficult to capture accurately; I would just botch it up.
nerarth
On the other hand I like to add impossible elements to paintings and a better realist portrayal would make them stand out in a different way
donutjudgeme
This is photorealism. Realism is like the old masters painted. You would never mistake a Bouguereau for a photo. IMO a paint shouldn’t look
donutjudgeme
look exactly like a photo. It’s missing the soul of a real painting and a lot of photorealism is created w/cheat tools like a projector.
nerarth
Thanks, you're right about the distinction. Unfortunately comments are so short, so I wanted to keep my point equally short.
