@99reasons4truth This is going to sound *so* cynical, but do you ever look at these astonishing works of art, particularly the very large scale ones and feel like they look a bit "digital"?
Like they were created by someone very talented but don't actually exist in their apparrent locations?
Some of them seem *too* perfect sometimes, especially when I think about the scaffold they'd need to paint the entire side of a 40 floor apartment block!
@BillyBones and if the artist/s is/are honest about it I have no problem with that.
@99reasons4truth Work directly onto the photograph with digital art programs OR work in digital art programs then photoshop into place.
But paint on buildings?
@99reasons4truth Yep. It's quite easy. You can adjust the transparency so that details like brickwork show through. @BillyBones

Look carefully at this picture.
Notice that everything is black and white except the guitar and my wedding ring.
That's called colour popping and it's done by overlaying a B&W copy of the pic over the colour version, then "scratching through" to the colours below.
Oh and that wall? It was never there. The photo was a selfie taken in my living room.
This was all done in 20 minutes with an ancient version of photoshop. Up to date art packages are even better.

I don't have a problem with it. I never thought about it before.
But how do they do it?
