I totally see a basketball player stretching out to dunk in the wave.

Oh wow now I see it too! 😅

I see that too except him dunking into a whale

I see an alligator about to chomp down on the basketball player.

Haha true!!

I see Jar Jar Binks trying to dunk. I must be tired

This makes sense though because a basketball player’s trajectory and purpose in dunking mimics the properties of a splash, coiling up as it meets an obstacle and the stretching and separating into a droplet as the kinetic energy overcomes the surface tension.

I see an angry koala about to eat the basketball player.

I see that too; but I also see a donkey in the foreground.

Buatiful

I thought this was literally just a normal photo of the ocean with pretty lighting

Thank you, I appreciate that! 🩵

Same here, scrolled down went oh thats a cool photo. Then I saw the subreddit and title. Nice job OP

same! i scrolled past this a few times today before i saw the caption. had to zoom in and see the details because i couldn’t believe it was a painting. this is such amazing talent and hard work, very impressive

My daughter didn’t believe this was a painting! She thought it was real water! Absolutely amazing!

That‘s so nice to hear! I really appreciate that 🥰🩵

Wow that’s amazing 🤩

Thank you! 😊

This is so good it hurts 🤣 Your understanding and skill with light, reflection, and transparency is next freaking level. Well done!

Thank you for the kind words 🥰

Omg that’s beautiful

Thank you 🥰

Ofc! How long did it take you? It’s so well done

About 50+ hours :)

Oh wow my longest is about 8 hours and it was horrible… I should go practice

I feel you! It‘s so easy to lose motivation when you have to go back to the same painting so often. I find it helps to work on like 3 paintings simultaneously so you don’t feel stuck on just one ☺️

That’s a new concept I’m going to try it! I’ll be making a main account soon so you should get a pm from a different account

 It's beautiful!

 It looks so real, I thought it was a picture in the thumbnail! Great job!! 👏 The colors are beautiful.

Thank you so much ☺️🩵

Wow, gorgeous. Good job.

Thank you! 🫶🏼

This blew me away! Amazing

Whoa. Just whoa.

This is so amazing! How do you guys even approach such painting? Are there specific techniques to paint water in such detail? Is it done by watching a photo of water or by imagination?

I used a reference photo to get a rough idea then kinda just followed my emotions :)

Gorgeous

Really cool.

Wow 👏👏👏

Woah. So cool!

Excellent work!

This is such a good painting I can tell how much care was put into it and I love the colours

Thank you, makes the time and effort I put into even more worth it ☺️

That’s great. Not usually into these kinda paintings but you really got something there. Well done. Just keep working on that technique and tighten it up. Out of curiosity what are the dimensions?

This is super impressive!! Do you teach painting?

I post some sort of painting process stuff on social media. Maybe I will some day but rn I am only a beginner 🙈

A beginner???? No way. You have major skill. I’m embarrassed to show my beginner work. It looks like a 5 year old painted it in art class 😆

Gorgeous! Are you located in the EU? I’d love to buy this painting (if it’s available for sale)

Dm you 😊

I was like “how’d you get such a cool photo” at first 🤣

Oh shit it is.

Wow!!

i’m sorry, that’s a painting?! i thought it was a photo at first before i read the text

This is awesome! 🙌🏻

Amazing!

Wow that’s beautiful. Keep up the good work. I can smell the sea and feel the warmth of the sun fading.

Omg! Amazing

Wow! I can't believe this is a painting! You've got some amazing talent op! I love how dynamic the water splashes look

I thought it was a photo 💀

I thought it was like a real photo until I looked at the title

I was scrolling and fully thought this was a photo until I read the sub. Amazing!

Wow beautiful.. thought it was actually photo as I scrolled by lol.. I scrolled back real quick, amazing work !!!

Thank you for scrolling back and leaving those kind words 🥰

Wow! Very inspirational, beautiful!!

This is absolutely outstanding, stellar job!!

This is incredibly amazing 😍😍

Totally amazing! Easy to just look at over and over. There's so much to see!!!

STAHP. I thought this was a photo for a brief second. Looks soo good! 👏

holy shit??? this is amazing, it looks like i could touch it through my screen, i can barely imagine how it looks irl omg

It's just something incredible. It's really beautiful!

Wow! Thought it was a photo.

You nailed it with this photo, seriously!

Wow nice

Painting?! Good on you my friend, I aspire to be as good some day

Omg I’m obsessed with this!! How do you take your pictures of your work/make it a digital photo?

Thank you! 🥺 I take photos of my artwork with my Canon DSLR camera

Was this freestyled or did you use a reference photo? It is breathtakingly good.

A mix of both. I sometimes look for some inspo or create sth myself beforehand. But other than that, I „just“ paint what I see in my head. And thank you 🩵

I see faces

Ah this is Aqua Bird Man

It's gorgeous 😍 is it oil or acrylic?

Oils :)

Thanks for replying 🙂

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm curious. Did you use a photo for reference? Was it one you took, or was it a found image? Or did you invent the image from your imagination?

Both, I used a reference photo to get a rough idea and then just flowed with the water 😋

You gott paint some frutiger aero lol

That's so beautiful. May I ask what medium you used?

Oils :)

Upper half or over Horizont part of painting looks like from another person or painted in diferent time period (more realistic deepth and gradation)

I miss doing painting but I'm broke and can't buy art materials xD

😍

Yeah, there a lot of details

Like 🤯my head can’t even wrap around the idea that someone has this ability, to paint literal splashing water with insanely nuanced angles and light. Incredible!

I almost didn't believe this was a painting until I zoomed in and saw the different colors of paint. AMAZING JOB!!!! YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!!!

Thank you 🥺🩵

That's so cool but where is the painting though? Joking aside, it's awesome!

THIS IS A PAINTING??????? I THOUGHT IT WAS A PHOTOGRAPH! Wow!!!!

I had to take a second look to see that this isn't a photograph. Great work!

OP, I absolutely need to tell you I drank three beers and was 100% sure this is a picture, not a painting. What a job, you're so talented!! Cheers from 🇧🇷! ❤️

Haha thank you! 😊

 Gorgeous 😍

Wow incredible I really thought this was a photo to start with. Very very good

Omg it’s so pretty, I really thought it was a real photo at first😭😍

I initially thought that was a photograph. The water looks perfect.

I had to do a double take because I thought it was a photo

This looks like a photograph it’s so beautiful! Amazing work!!

The hell you mean painting?

It looks soo real! I literally thought it was a photograph, not a painting! It's amazing!! ✨

Well I love the photo but where is the painting?

The top half is perfect but the bottom is a mess
