Wow. It’s still pretty intense. I had gas (halothane?) as a 6 year old in about 1991 and they took about 10 teeth…a weird minty smell and then echoes. I woke up with a headache and a strange feeling where my teeth were.

Yep, the Russian impressionists have their own ideas and themes. Great stuff

This reminds me of the inscription plate on the Voyager probe.

Only the very drunk will survive.

Carl Larsson

Me too mate.

Yup, this feels like brushing my teeth in the mirror alone at 39, the man knows his stuff.

I’m kicking myself because I can’t remember the American artist that did such justice to the crashing waves of a coastline, I’ve posted his work but can’t recall his name. A most difficult subject to get right. Ivan Aivasovsky is the only one who comes close to this style.

Excellent

I see what you did there

Mightier than the penfish?

Also possible

As other have mentioned, they could have sketched the light and shade, then painted over… even so at midday the light might not move so fast. You can do the basic areas if colour then fine details after you know what the flesh tones are and where highlights and shadows sit. You can paint fast :)

This comment scared the carp outta me.
