What did you think of, sh*t?

Shame on you…

You do not need a camera if you can draw marvellous realistic paintings like these.

I wouldn’t believe that these are paintings if I didn’t know they were drawn by Jeff Ramirez. His super realistic art is overwhelming and alive.

Looks legit.

These are some amazingly realistic paintings by artist Joe Simpson. They are so lifelike that you’ll have to look twice to make sure they aren’t real people. Have a look and see if they don’t look like real people to you.

These illusions were painted by Zebrating-Art. You have to look at them at just the right angle to see the illusion. Actually, they are really amazing.

The author of these illustrations, Justin Reed, has started created paintings “specifically for use as posters” based on famous movies. They all look great and very creative.Check them out.

According to rumors, Millie Brown is not only an artist who barfs on paper to create her paintings but also a singer. Her working atmosphere is easy to describe. Two young ladies sing the classical aria in a white room while Millie drinks colored milk and pukes it on her canvas. She has given a few public performances, and people say she has even vomited on Lady Gaga. Anyways, one of her artworks is available for sale for $2,400. So let’s express ourselves through art.

These are some of the most beautiful and impressive murals I’ve ever seen. As for me, this is the best transformation of buildings that can be done to refresh them.

These are some amazing and colorful paintings by artist Serge Birault. They are somewhat surreal paintings that are also very beautiful. They are of some rather strange and weird looking young women.

Imagine well-known classic paintings by famous artists mixed with cartoon characters. This combination is fun and impressive. Sadly we don’t know whose Photoshop work this is.

These amazing paintings are created by artist Denis Petersonis. They are so lifelike it is difficult to tell that they aren’t photos. The only clue that there is some tiny brush marks on some of the reflections. See if you can find them.

Although these paintings look like photos, they’re not. Artist Gregory Thielker did a great job in making them look very realistic to the point that you will have a difficult time believing that they are actually paintings.

It’s not that easy to recreate photographs in paintings so that it will be difficult to point out the original picture and its painted copy. Norman Rockwell created real masterpieces in painting photos and spiced them up a little.

It’s not that easy to paint on glass, thus all these artworks by Elza Kolesnikova are real masterpieces. She has no professional education, but does a great work at painting her drawings on the back side of the glass “canvas” using watercolors.

Elza has to create her works blindly, trusting her memory, because the upper watercolor layer has to be perfect. One mistake and your painting will be destroyed. You’ll have to start from the very beginning.

When the painting is finished it is covered with enamel and left to dry. And this is when you can finally notice the most amazing feature of watercolor paintings on glass. These patterns change their color depending on the lights, time and even weather. It’s simply fantastic!

These amazing paintings were done by an artist named Esref Armagan who was born blind. He paints using a Braille stylus and his fingers without any help whatsoever. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries all over Europe. He has painted portraits of the Turkish president and other officials.

The story of this blind artist is extraordinary and unbelievable. Professional CPA with a photographic memory, Lisa Fittipaldi lost her vision due to a vascular disease in 1993. She lost her job too, but overcame blindness and began painting in 1995. Her paintings are so colorful and bright; it’s hard to believe that they were drawn by a blind person who can’t even see colors or distance. The main challenge to Lisa was when she was told she could never create complex scenes of everyday life with people as main characters. But she managed to do so, and today her paintings are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Fittipaldi is a unique artist with an amazing inner vision. You can judge for yourself after the jump.

These are paintings made thanks to the Brushes application on an iPad.

The artist David Kassan says that he used this same app on iPhone and that it is not quite the same: "This seems to be more about sculpting the painting and it gives the artist more of a feel for the subject matter and composition. The larger screen obviously helps. The options for colour correction and control are far improved from the iPhone."

Maybe he’s right, but I can say that iPhone paintings that I saw are also awesome. 

These are paintings from different authors and they look as if they were photographs.

I know that for many it is easier to buy a digital camera and make photos but as for me, it takes a big talent to approach to such realism as this, to be able to recreate in perfect, coherent details what you see. A camera is an easy way for people who don’t care, for an artist, it is the meaning of being an artist.

Hats off to all of them for these wonderful artworks!
