work like this takes amazing and enviable expertise, and i'm amazed by brandons speed, maybe im being overly critical after just coming back from art school and everything, but i wonder a bit why so much of his subject matter is the same or incredibly similar.. i'd like to know the why of it all

[cherilyndria]

so far this is the only one i feel to throw a semi negative critique for...I feel the reflection in the water is too crisp, with a flowing water source, it should have a distortion to it. Other than that, your work is just genius!

@kapirex100 i think its some kind of hard platic almost like a "staright edge" that he just puts paint on and rubs down. also a pallete knife is what he uses for the details

[kapirex100]

what do you use to create waterfalls.?????....xDD

[SexySamuraiMan]

@sophietina Um, probably because he enjoys this subject matter? Why would he paint something he doesnt enjoy painting?

[gabbiiification]

@sophietina maybe that's just what he likes. I've been getting into the spray paint art because I like space, and can make sweet space pictures. So I do mostly pictures of space, because space is my favourite thing ever. I wouldn't care if people wanted more variety out of me, because I just want to do space.

Its a sponge :) I think....



[metalmlo0352]

What is he using to dab at the paint to make the leaves? Is that a sponge, piece of cloth or what?

[metalmlo0352]

@EzeeSKANKIN you might be mixing paint types. Are you using glossy white? That's what works best. Also, make sure you shake the can before spraying.

[analternatending]

@sophietina it's probably just what he's best at. or he cant do anything else. probably the first one because that much talent has to go somewhere else too

OH SNAP AT 1:05 THE LAST LINE TO THE LEFT IS THAT THE GRUDGE AT THE BOTTOM!!!

[EzeeSKANKIN]

when I do the star technique, the white paint kind of breaks or thins out when it hits the paper or other paint. would you know why it does this? Thanks
