"Glimpse the work that happens behind the scenes...." IOW The Art of the Deal???

You can tell he used a camera obscura on all his paintings that are indoors. the light always comes from that left window and the scene is always the same with minor variations. It's been proven that the guy was basically copying using mirror painting. where you use a small mirror to transfer the light onto your canvas and trace over top of it. which is why his paintings are the only ones that appear real. There was a documentary done about it where the guy paints a vermeer using the technique and its almost identical to his paintings. They go through the painstaking process of building the same studio that he had, same light sources, same window, and same projection and tracing room.

Have you ever SEEN a Vermeer painting up close? Nothing in those interior scenes is "copied". They're certainly not "painted" photographs, we know that from material research.

[@nephildevil]

lol ppl don't pay attention and then ask things already said

[@mariocinquemani3134]

Darkvine i think the output of information at just one lecture is so extensive that it is hard for people to retain a lot of aspects to it

Ronni must have been very thirsty and dried out when on stage here, she did consume 4 bottles of "water", quite disturbing.!
