Thatssss a nice painting you've got there...would be a shame if anything happened to it. lol

[airbrushstand]

Its awesome as hell though. :)

[airbrushstand]

Look at my portraits. They take about 3/ 4hrs. U should try airbrushing friend its a faster art.

[AnnaTheMuseFreak]

1:48 I'm beginning to think that's Hitler

[DankDurfDodge]

That was so sick in so many ways, I thought it was sick you were able to do that and also got sick from watching your video. anyways good job haha

[kiwisause]

is that a 3x6 canvas? love the size

[merksmerksmerks]

it takes a lot of patience to work with this method of painting. great job!

[eduardpiel]

you're just being homophobic

[Evolscape]

amazing, very talented doing this grid method... I Love it when I see different styles of art, its what art is all about!

[danamiceart]

Very cool. I was mesmerized. There is much thought into this grid style. Thanks for posting it.

[eduardpiel]

@danamiceart thanks

[agentike2]

it looked as if more than 24 hrs went by judging by the multipile sunsets in the window

[eduardpiel]

@agentike2 it's 24 hours of painting over 5 days. I would have gone mad if I painted nonstop for a day in one go.

[ONYXAVEDON]

that's fantastic! very talented!

[purpledogs17]

you know what? i dont care if u like it or not - . He obviously put a lot of thought into this, and he put it up on youtube, so all of these stupid comments on how bad it is and how it isnt art is just fucked up. i'd like to see all of you haters make an art peice that defines you like this peice might to him . (not saying u might not do it im saying the majority of you probably can't and are just leaving these stupid comments cuz everyone else is saying its bad)

[MrsJakota16]

and sry for bad english

[MrsJakota16]

I just said that it doesn't look like you've put 24 hrs in it. I dont understand why your angry. I would like for you to explain to me why did you picked that method of painting, because maybe my lack of approvall is caused by lack of knowledge. also- in my opinion you should have more distance to the comments, like, you thought that everyone would like it? It should be more important that you like it ;)

[eduardpiel]

The process of painting itself is more exciting so how can you say that the time spent hasn't been payed off? The more time I spend painting the more happy I am as I can spend time doing this. It's a completely irrelevant judgement.

The process of this was working from a non-manipulated photograph behind a squared grid and working out what each square might relate in tonal value on the canvas. In essence, finding the average tone from the photograph was the main time consuming aspect.

[MrsJakota16]

why did it take you 24 hrs??? this time you've put to that painting didn't payed off, because it looks too simple.

[eduardpiel]

@MrsJakota16 I do appologise for my mistake. I shall have to take on board your expertise and judgment of how my time should be spent and how long one should take to paint. You are correct, this painting is way too simple and I should have made it more complicated with some colourful zigzag lines and masses of drips which I would have got influences from my ghetto environment. It would drastically reduce my time painting and increase the my time to bullshit about the meaning of a brushstroke.

[jonjonjonmw3]

@MrsJakota16 lol, you're such an ass. Who the fuck says something like that?

[jaredletolover]

@koenbp HATERS GONNA HATE xD

this is art, pure and simple.

[snizzlefits]

thats insane

[sierra043]

and ye shall witness the evolution of computer graphics through the ages

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp You don't have to address to me as "sir" i haven't been knigted, yet. But thruth be told I can make one or two balloons into a cute puppy. I'm expecting my invitation to the royal house from the Queen any day now.

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp I'll take that as a compliment, I didn't think people would notice my funny side.

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp what is the "joke" in that?

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp hard to believe ey?

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp all of them together

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp it's on the canvas

[eduardpiel]

@koenbp

it's the big canvas thing with paint on it.

[MrTexaskase]

Is this pop art...no sketch? Did you use gesso on our canvas?

[Tazza66Rikko]

Wow what an Unique way of painting

Really cool!!

[adgerggg]

santogooold<3 great work:)

[smeza943]

an interesting way of painting ^ ^ verry nice

[TheFadedPhotograph]

What kind of paint do you use?

[eduardpiel]

standard water based acrylic for this piece

[TheFadedPhotograph]

@eduardpiel Oh, alright. I'm having a hard time applying detail to my art. I can do it easily with pencil and pen but not with a brush

[eduardpiel]

@TheFadedPhotograph Get some new, decent brushes and thin down the paints with water.

[TheFadedPhotograph]

@eduardpiel Will do! :)

[DirtyDerr1ck]

is there a name for like pixilated art like this? and was the picture pixilated when u gridded it, just curious?

[eduardpiel]

no and no.

although you could call it mosaic painting

[esapvia]

very good keep it upskies

[dmzz11]

O4enj kruto 4uvak, pishi eshe! Great work! -D Bekk

[ColorsOfHope]

So cool! Weird how you can paint in blocks...

[TammyHallam]

This is really amazing... I hope I can paint like this one day! ^w^

[purpleplasticcup]

Chuck is my idol and it's great to see you painting similar to what he does. I am currenty working on a self portrait grid using acrylic paint an I need some advice if youse willing to help!

[auratone25]

You should check out Chuck Close. He is the master of that style. Love his paintings. Good work sir

[samlaughlin]

Nice painting Ed, more simplified than your other grids that I remember.

hehe youin your little shorts and socks lol

but seriously, good work.

[v3brat0]

Wooow..

I cant pait, like, at all! But I can draw, but not realistically. ;P Well, Ive tried realistic..

My question is... When did you start? and how many mediums can you use?

[eduardpiel]

started painting? two or three years ago..... and there aren't that many mediums really.

Just practice, practice and don't stop practicing...;)

[creamberry15]

wow awesome!

[Tinak00777]

is useing a grid easyer then going in and putting douwn light a shadow?

[blueguitar77]

i wanna paint like u do, how did u learn that technique?

did u take classes??

[eduardpiel]

thank you, I didnt take classes, simply had an idea which developed with a brush and some paints.

Practice is always the answer. A lot of my ideas and inspiration came from artist/photograhper Chuck Close

[trogdor1913]

very nicly done! kudos for all that hard work!

[HannahPinay]

Wow. That was awesome. Great job man. :]
