"a painting is never finished, only abandoned at some point "


Ill_Consequence

Watching this video and not being a painter, I had just come to a much less eloquent epiphany of this. Then I scrolled down and saw this and thought and it literally took the words out of my mouth. Thank you for this.


nation543

Wow, this is actually quite profound.


[deleted]

And quite often quoted


Dripping_Gravy

I had not seen or hear that quote before now. I like it


TirayShell

Bob Ross woulda done it in 23 minutes.


[deleted]

Tbh, I thought the same


[deleted]

Obviously it’s much more detailed, and dare I say, sophisticated. Really awesome, artist person!


WhalesForChina

Definitely. I think Bob even admitted a few times that there are some concessions taken when he has to fit a whole painting into a half-hour.


jeepjp

I will forever clean my brushes, by quickly slapping them back and forth on a table leg, or the edge of the counter.


avalisk

Do you laugh and say "beat the devil out of it" every time?


jeepjp

Yes, with a little giggle and a smile.


MaleficentSorbet360

Whatever you do don't use turpentine. That's what killed Bob Ross. Beating the brush made the chemicals more airborne and he did it in a closed space so he inhaled a shit ton of the stuff. He sure did love beatin' the devil out them!


Catinthemirror

I'm sure smoking for most of his adult life had nothing to do with his lymphoma.


btm4you3

too long, it would be 12 minutes and 41 seconds


Little_Lahey_Show

And if you tell anyone, I will come to your house and I will cut you


Tapurisu

why didn't you just... sleep?


Toussaint_Morganti

I’d say it’s more due to the newborn in the background than the actual painting


ratapatapat

Haha .. that and 2 others who take up all my time.

is this about the time of day, or murdering your family?


slasherface

Yes


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

I was waiting to see an astronaut cat in the reveal, but I guess that’s another artist.

olive_owl_

The kid is saying "daddy" , they're not a newborn 😂


gyarnar

The kid. I'm just guessing.


-disso

He is spreading misinformation online guys, the world record for not sleeping is 17 days, we've got a liar on our hands fellaz


GodzeallA

Longest officially recorded. Some people break that buy get no official credit because it was never recorded.


TemporaryPrimate

Too busy battling shadow people to contact the record keepers.


Unknownfriendo

I went three days without sleep once. I was seeing freaking shadow spiders in the dark whole trying to lay in bed and sleep. Do NOT recommend.


FBIaltacct

I did 3 days my first deployment fixing our busted radar. I never hallucinated but i did fall asleep tightening a bolt and got yelled at to go sleep.


StampedeJonesPS4

I had a mdma problem and did 6 days once. I was going to work the whole time. On day 6, I'd be walking through the factory and while walking, would literally fall asleep for a split second and quick snap awake..... while walking. Then there's the whole shadow people thing.... You FOR SURE hallucinate. You are constantly seeing "beings" just out of your main field of vision. It seems like there are entities running around in your peripheral vision. I'll never go sleepless again.


FBIaltacct

Oh i dont doubt people hallucinate, i was just saying i personally didn't on my 3 day run.


StampedeJonesPS4

Oh sorry if I worded that like I was arguing your point. I didn't see anything after 3 days either. It was day 5 and 6 that got really weird for me.


WorldlyPhysics3399

They deliberately don't record stuff like this in Guinness etc because of the danger (I.e. youngest pilot)


[deleted]

Oh, a woise guy, eh?

[удалено]


HapticRemedin31

True


monkey_trumpets

This guy's a phony! A big, fat, phony!


Pawn_captures_Queen

Holy shit I hit 6 days and I was mad hallucinating, 17 days I can't fathom. That's some level of hell.


-disso

I start seeing spiders jumping after 2 days


StampedeJonesPS4

I had a junkie friend (RIP my guy) that once did essentially the whole month of February. He was strung out, injecting meth and stayed up for 28 days. At that point he was literally friends with the shadow people.


bmanley620

Haha I thought the same thing. 5 months of sleepless nights just sounds so unnecessary to add since it’s obviously hyperbole


CSyoey

Right? You can’t accomplish multiple hundreds of hours of work in 5 days. The most you can get is 120 hours


PhDinWombology

1.2 hundreds of hours of work


avskyen

Great painting downvoted for the cheesy "see I'm still painting it" trope by recording a random last paint stroke/application


stiick

The close up makes the the rest of the painting look dried. I say we grab pitchforks until OP can prove he painted the whole thing.


dephsilco

And look how shaky is their hand. I expect a skilled painter have it much steadier


HereOnASphere

From other comments, he may have been up for many hours and fatigued. Or it could be the reason it took so long to paint.


a-default-icon

Hard to record and paint steadily


romansamurai

I downvoted because OP posted himself in nextfuckinglevel.


ProperBoots

I downvoted for both reasons. That stupid reveal just makes me feel impatient when I see it now. Like, yeah yeah yeah we know just show the thing already. It's not neat after 15th dude does it. Still, incredible painting.


[deleted]

You guys are petty bitches


[deleted]

I always do that. Its tradition!


dpforest

Sameee I hate that shit


SjalabaisWoWS

I immediately assumed this wall-hanged (!) painting got a random, very shaky dot of white just for internet pointz.


BlackScathach

His last rock did literally nothing for the painting


omgaXD

That's the beauty of painting: every next brush wipe of color makes no sense. However thousands and millions of these wipes are what the painting is made of!


stylinchilibeans

Brush **stroke**


ztufs

Kind of an insensitive comment, dont you think? Sure, one brush stroke alone might not do much, but the collective of all the small brush strokes makes the finished result, which is amazing!


Admirable_Remove6824

What the hell else were they supposed to do for the video. Paint the whole damn thing!!


BlueberryPie1027

Some progressive pictures would have been nice


[deleted]

I am always a bit suspicious unless i see the artist actually doing some of the painting….would prefer to see a bit more so i know you are actually painting it.


ScreenSaverDan

Very suspicious if the painting is already mounted on the wall


rman18

I mean you literally just saw him paint it. /s


[deleted]

Langzee

u/actual-anywhere-8829 I'd be more careful with links you share like that - anyone can see your device and carrier and people have doxxed or stolen identities with far less to go on.


Actual-Anywhere-8829

Thank you for the heads up


JoeFajita

"Tiny final stroke on a big painting" is one of the most annoying conceits in art videos. You look ridiculous.


jrmnvrs

It’s dope but not really next fucking level.


Teeganblu

give me one good reason why it’s already mounted to the wall while you’re “still painting” it


Only-Reach-3938

Congrats my dude or lady dude. Awesome job


StickieNipples

Very nice. Wish this presentation style would die though. I'd love to see a nice high quality pic of it


ratapatapat

dustlustrious

Get ready because Instagram, the place artists used to be able to upload images of their work, is now trying to force everyone to use it like tick tock where they only show it to your followers if it’s a video yaaay


copenhagen622

Only takes bob Ross 25 minutes 😋


Bardivan

i call bullshit. why is it allready hung up on the wall and not the easel?


fartyhardy

Bob Ross would be proud!


amp_757

And would have been done in 22min


jhard52757

Ha ha, that's exactly what I thought when I saw this.


ClobetasolRelief

It's pretty run of the mill


Mrzimimena

thats what i've been scratching my head. It is good, but 5 months of slepless nights??? Jeez, it is just a stereotypical nature painting that won't ever go for more than 50 bucks.


ClobetasolRelief

Dude posted his own work in a sub called nextfuckinglevel


FroboyFreshenUp

I love the art, but did you need to suffer so much?


Shot-Help1460

i cant believe that little kid painted this.


MrmmphMrmmph

I like the level of dramatic tension added by the sound of a child, and the internet teaching me something horrible is about to happen.


arbitrageME

your 5 months of sleepless nights weren't from the painting ..


Amedais

God I hate the stupid trope of adding one final brush stroke.


[deleted]

It's always weird and pretentious when someone labels their own stuff "next level" or "damn interesting".


FirmScientist

Are there any tutorials for stuff like that? would be a dream to do a painting like that as well


MARCKE420

Bro imagine not sleeping for 5 months 💀


Pro_Bonk

That baby sound made me think that something was gonna happen to this masterpiece at the end...


Equivalent-Walrus-28

5 months of sleepless night sounds horrible for taking care of a child. “But taking care of a child is hard, that’s probably what’s keeping him up!” No.. I have a 3 year old and I can say taking care of a child is no where near as hard as our parents made it out to be. You need to get more sleeps and be more I involved with your child.


Otherwise-Mail-4654

Damn that is nice

It's like me spending days picking a kick ass location for my drone video, spending hours getting the right angle flyover shots, spending days editing and color grading, ending up with perfection and then nobody's watches it except me 😂


ratapatapat

Bro.. that’s the best part. You don’t have to please anyone, self satisfaction is a pathway to a great mental health. Kudos to you and wouldn’t mind seeing a few of those videos. I draw my inspiration from everywhere.


endlesslyfallingfool

And you're a baby? Incredible! So cute to hear you celebrating your success.


Sanonta

Reminds me of Skyrim

Bob Ross seal of approval


IcedTman

I hope you got good money for that painting.


Delicious_Ad_1187

That’s really beautiful.


Effective_Nature_387

Super...


Paleomedicine

I wish I knew how to paint like this!


CFADM

It wouldn’t have been complete if it wasn’t for that last brush of paint.


Old-Ninja-113

Beautiful


voxboxer1

What place inspired this? Id like to visit


[deleted]

Beautiful!


The_True_Zephos

Gorgeous


MarsupialEuphoric35

Your painting is absolutely beautiful!


gdx45

Wow


neuromorph

That will look cool in a hotel.


QuintillionBeetles

I never finish my artwork because I never decide it’s done lol


Mean_Collar_6895

It's beautiful. Congratulations 🎊


MR_RAWBOT

Beautiful


Obvious_Bad_2418

se7en0311

That's pretty dope I haven't done a landscape too scared to try.


Bumper6190

Nice!


[deleted]

It looks beautiful!


[deleted]

I have never gone a sleepless night working on art… Maybe I should try that 🤷🏼‍♂️


FFKL4488

That’s incredible I wish I could paint I can’t even draw a good stick figure without it going bad


voldi4ever

I would believe you if you said 5 years. There is no way anyone can finish any hobby project in 5 months with a toddler in the house.


El-N-Wes

When do you decide when you are done


Thiserthat

Usually before you mount it on a wall. This guys is different though


Wintersmight

Oh my goodness that’s gorgeous


MikeHonchoCloseUp

Decent but 5 months???


Dawnfreak

That last splotch really brought the whole thing together.


Ashki_ak86

That looks like a dinosaur in the background at the start!


superautopetsman

I'm not sure how so many people are so great at art, I personally suck at it, great job!


broomshed

Not impressive, I can capture the same image taking a photo 🙄


DavyB

Oh man, you ruined it with that last stroke.


imhazardouss

How much?


FormerRelationship8

Holy smokes, friend! That’s incredible. You’re beyond talented


FuckingSpaghetti

I hate the zoom out painting trope. Cheesy shit


Dubious_Titan

That final touch. *Now*. Perfect.


rawrizardz

Mmm I need that in my office!


pikaboi122

Im astounded at how great this is... very well done! Wish i could have that skill but my hands shake like a fricking washing machine with a brick in it lol


[deleted]

May you never sleep again! Seriously though, you are talented. I’d move there and live.


Armybert

It wasn’t worth it


OccasionallyReddit

I think your child is impressed.. as with us all.


FaithlessnessMore835

Awesome!


WoodenMonkeyGod

Yo, that’s some landscape


Puzzleheaded-Lime448

You deserve fame


SprayingFlea

Beautiful. But at the cost of 100s of hours, do you just sacrifice everything else you might have done in that spare time?


TheDeafDad

The level of detail is awesome. What does an art piece like this usually sell for?


AeroZep

Not enough to cover the labor and supplies.


GodzeallA

Probably not much considering it's just a completely normal landscape painting. Nothing really special about it and there's tons of these types of paintings out there.


Cobek

That's what confuses me the most about this picture. Goodwill has something like this for $50


GodzeallA

Yeah. A high priced landscape painting would have to be absolutely incredible. They look nice but they're very common and not hard to find.


[deleted]

well usually for the amount of taxes a billionare has to pay


[deleted]

[удалено]


ratapatapat

Haha.. fair enough. Between work family and 3 kids, I spared what time had after they went to sleep to complete this over 5 months. It was mostly the details that took me a while. Those grassy details caused me to go to an eye doctor and get prescribed for reading glasses. Lol


Zealousideal_Stop781

What a great way to relax your mind though, lose yourself in the art but still be able to reconnect to the world at the drop of a brush.


CptChristophe

I’ll start the bidding at £3.50, do we have £3.50?

OneLostOstrich

100s* No apostrophe. It's not a possessive noun or a contraction.


WhyRYourPantsOff

Judging by the babbling I’d say you’re little more than a year or so old which makes this even more impressive!


Embarrassed-Gas-8155

Very impressive, especially as from the sound of it, you're a inarticulate toddler.


gwardotnet

Bob Ross does it in 25 minutes.


Knuc85

"one hundreds of hours"


BlueberryPie1027

Haha yeah right


Cheesenips069

Ok Bob Ross go off


Keepupthegood

That’s how long it took painters back in the day for portraits? Imagine. Sitting still for five months


Fine-Mushroom3834

Beautiful! Bob Ross would be proud!


dogbertknowshisnose

Bob Ross?


[deleted]

You mean to tell this baby made this amazing piece of art?


tinynancers

I'll give you $25 for it


[deleted]

Looks like the path from Roanoke into Grizzlies East.


D4RKNESSAW1LD

Felt cute, might throw out later.


pennhead

That road dodged a few rocks and then somehow straightened right out.
