All I have to say is... that's a painting?!

The old masters would be proud. I know I am.Β
In this day and age, there are few things more pleasing than seeing people with talent using their talent to make awesome things. And this is awesome. The way you rendered the plastic bag is nothing short of miraculous. The tiny swirls on the upper part of the bag, beneath the ziplock are incredible, as is the rendering of the moisture on the fruit.
The only possible criticism I can give is that if one looks closely at the image, the downward-pointing white triangular fold in the center of the image (beneath where the stem ends inside the bag) seems just a tad bit too strongly whited.
Once again: AMAZING.Β

Wait, this was painted with oils?! I thought this was photography!!! AMAZING!

This is unbelieveably difficult to accomplish with oils. Not quite as hard with acrylics and the ability to add a touch of color and highlights to gel. But in oils....just jaw dropping awesome work. I can only dream of being that talented. Bravo!

Exceptional! Hard to believe this was done with a brush. You have incredible skills.

Simply amazing. At first I thought: "Why people post so simple photos?" but then I read the description "oil on canvas" and... Well, I was stunned.

Wonderful work! This is utterly a new level of realism. I love those little details such as the condensation of water on the bag near where the grapes are in contact with the plastic. Really awesome stuff!

i think some of the brush strokes on the stem give it away. other than that it's just perfect.

to me the brush strokes give it more texture. it makes it seem less flat. but yeah, very great picture.

I know that in fact you took a picture a wrote "oil on canvas" just to make fun of us...

Lol. Such a random thing to paint. Done exceptionally well though!

Indeed. And it is its randomness which makes it so more challenging, to me.

Holy crap I saw this and I was like, why did a bag of grapes gets daily d? So I clicked it and I was still wondering and I read the disc and I choked on my coffee. This is so amazingly realistic and I just can't get over it...I'm still suspicious.Β

Usually, in cases like this, if I keep looking at the painting I can eventually see things like brushstrokes etc. But with this, I keep looking at it, and I still can't see it as anything other than photograph! It's kind of blowing my mind.

"Well that's not really a very interesting pho--IT'S A PAINTING!?!?"

OH and my favorite part.. the wetness from the grapes pressing against the bag
π: 0 β©: 0
absolutely fantastic.
love the every detail you've drawn.
plastic bag crinkles, light glare, color variations in the grapes...intricate detailing of the entire subject. well done.

Nice work! Excellent technical skill and contrary to some other people, I think the subject is very clever. It's not your typical "still life" with grapes!
