You are truly gifted.

[@KennethPettay]

Thank you

[@Orientaliszt]

Well done, it's impressive. I am fascinated by the techniques in hyper-realistic paintings as in Tjalf Sparnaay. Like in this glass bowl that contains colorful candies wrapped in a transparent and twisted cellophane wrapper that lets glimpse pearl candies through complex optical paths that light takes. Or those impressive pencil portraits of Dirk Dzimirsky with water flowing over a face.

Just wow

[@FlyR7]

Dope, keep grinding !

[@artistrajnikant404]

Great artist sir Sir I was thinking we can make these type of realistic painting only with oil paint But you have inspired me And told me that collours does not matter Skills matter 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂

[@artistrajnikant404]

I am also working on portrait painting with acrylic paints And I was tryling to shift over oil painting but now I will not shift over with acrylic paint Thank you sir

[@macarons4157]

1. Your talent deserve way more recognition 2. I wanted to comment under your train paint 3. For your train painting you set up the game too high I wanted to do a train painting in my next vid so I was watching what others did .... 4. Good work, keep going

I loved watching you paint! You are inspirational! Thank you! I didn't know you can do your own frame, I guess it cuts out cost.. It looked like you painted on wood, or if it was a canvas I didn't notice.

[@KennethPettay]

Thanks! The cradle frame was made of pine, and the board was masonite.

@@KennethPettay Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I wish you lots of great art pieces in the future! All this hard work is much appreciated!

[@RAMROMAL]

Hi my name is Rome, I am a veteran and I would like to learn hyperrealism. I live in NY and I want to know if someone can give me any ideas where to find the right school to learn the techniques and methods. I love painting and I will appreciate any help

[@KennethPettay]

I don't know of any schools. I learned some tips from books, or asking other top hyperrealists. But mostly everything i picked up was from watching other artists time lapse videos. You should start by using the highest definition pictures you can take.

[@snehalbharsakhar9886]

Like how🤐🤐🤐

[@fineartistharpreet7935]

Can you plz tell me from where you got pallete tray? ..

[@KennethPettay]

Amazon

[@fineartistharpreet7935]

@@KennethPettay plz share me link. Of this 😊

[@geoffreydawson5430]

Then you go to an abstract gallery where a painting took an hour t paint that sells for 10 times more than yours. Self expression however, is a commodity, over meticulously copying a photo. Still not bad if not a little overexposed.

[@BryanDalleStelleOfficial]

See? Even a kid can do it 😜

[@screenapple1660]

impossible to paint hyperrealism using acrylic painting. oil paint is much easier.

[@KennethPettay]

Yeah oil paint is easier to blend and no color shift. Acrylic paint is better, will never yellow and more challenging to work with, but it is possible to blend it the same as oil
