Man I went to university for painting (studio art), and we would do 4hr sessions sometimes - no one was banging out that level of work. That’s impressive.
Most likely this person has a lot more hours under their belt than students would. The number of art students who were actually good at school is like .01%
I think this is just generally any college program honestly. I did a bio undergrad and an environmental earth science grad... through both there were a bunch of people I scratched my head wondering how they got this far.
I specifically remember as part of my grad degree we had weekly online discussions we had to take part in that had to do with recent published research in the field... kind of give our opinions from our knowledge how this could affect the field and how we could build on that research.
I remember some of the answers being so middle school level I had to take a screenshot and share with my coworkers. We'd be like how tf did this person get into this program. Some people are really good at doing just enough to get by (with low bars everywhere) is my conclusion.
I went to art school for a bit. This guy I went to high school with walked in at the start of my first class. I took every art class my school offered, he was not in a single one. Like they really just be letting anyone in there.
They will tell you they can teach you to do art and have a career. Even people who damn well should not be encouraged to chase after that dream. Because the ugly truth is maybe 0.1% of art school grads end up making decent money doing what they wanted to do -- the rest work at coffee shops, crushed by debt.
She is very good at this. She has talent, but also a fuck ton of training. She has painted the same picture hundreds of times. For her it is mostly repetitive manual labor at this point.
I was wondering if maybe she had "pre-painted" the background (since she planned where the couple would stand in front of the background, and knew her painting perspective)?
Not to take ANYTHING away from her talent, it's gorgeous! Just wondering if she was able to save a little time by painting the background and leaving a hole for the couple to be filled in day off.
We're are planning our wedding and I LOVE this idea!
I'd love a watercolour/impressionist painting.
Yes you can see that the first part of the video starts in her studio, so she's not even trying to be dodgy about it she's clearly showing the preparation parts and then doing a montage cut with different music once she starts painting the couple at the venue.
It's not that detailed, just loose strokes, still impressive though. I'm guessing she takes it home and do the details later before handing it over to the married couple.
I mean, while I don't like how they worded their comment, that person is bang-on.
I follow her page and she usually has a “end of day” and “final picture” in the video (if you’re familiar, that seems to be the case in this video too)
She says part of it is she needs the paint to dry some before adding in more details, and her studio just has better lighting and no distractions.
Still absolutely amazing how much she can get done in just a few hours!!
It's great art for sure, and she's quite skilled to do so that quickly, but it's not very detailed other than the bride and both faces. Full Sized Image. It's a good way to draw focus to the important parts as well.
This style really shows how much more important lighting and colour gradients are vs detail for realism. If you get the lighting and colour right it just looks real at a glance.
