    Since I’ve started painting, I’ve always had a photorealistic style, because people seemed to enjoy it the most. Your videos actually inspired me to stop doing what pleases other people and incorporate a more free style, different textures and colors. Now my paintings bring even more joy to my clients and other people. Thank you so much!

    i like photo realistic style , and work in same style just because it amazes how few colours can make a thing that i see, of course art is diverse and photo realistic style is a small part of it but no one can ignore that its the most important one because it's what visual art started because of, one can argue normal singing/music is not interesting and they like opera or beatboxing etc but natural/normally singing cannot be stated inferior

    Is o.k. to go out and do your own style.....but remember that it is the customer you intend to sell the painting to that has the last say.....Sure...there are different people that like different styles. Don't paint what people want unless is a commission work. You can't always please everybody.

I haven’t really tried realism, inanimate objects here and there, eyes on my math homework, and one lip drawing that I’m very proud of, but other than that, nothing. I also haven’t used oil paints ever, but your videos make me wanna try them! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
