It's not a photo! Believe it or not

The image that became the painting was originally captured with a high quality digital camera, and likely projected on the surface being transformed into a painting.

Ah yeah, that would make sense now.

Nah. It would never work. Just admit that the guy has talent.

Different painter(s), but this one always amazes me.

I dont get it at all. Its clear that the painting used a fairly high resolution digital image as its base.

I guess its the challenge to recreate the original image by hnad.

skil yes. real talent...is far more than skill, even skill at a very high level.

You make a lot of assumptions . . . .

And what are your assumptions about this artist?

You need to justify this statement, since it is you that has made it.

You say it would never work. Why, exactly is it that you think it would "never work"?

Projecting an image and then painting over it and having it come out in any way good.

You still have not said why it would not work. You have only polemicised on the issue, rather briefly and weakly, I might add.

Why would painting over a projected image not "come out in any way good" ?

I can see some merit in the technique, although I am not an artist, by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why I might be wrong on the matter.

Because the projected image would interfere with the process. It would be akin to painting in bad lighting. How can you know what something is going to look like if the colors you are trying to paint are being covered by projected colors? You can use the projection technique to sketch and outline an image - but not to paint it.
