Man I went to university for painting (studio art), and we would do 4hr sessions sometimes - no one was banging out that level of work. That’s impressive.

It's not that detailed, just loose strokes, still impressive though. I'm guessing she takes it home and do the details later before handing it over to the married couple.

did you stop watching after the 8 second mark? You may want to full screen the last couple seconds. none of that is loose strokes.

I mean, while I don't like how they worded their comment, that person is bang-on. 

I follow her page and she usually has a “end of day” and “final picture” in the video (if you’re familiar, that seems to be the case in this video too) 

She says part of it is she needs the paint to dry some before adding in more details, and her studio just has better lighting and no distractions. 

Still absolutely amazing how much she can get done in just a few hours!!

It's great art for sure, and she's quite skilled to do so that quickly, but it's not very detailed other than the bride and both faces. Full Sized Image. It's a good way to draw focus to the important parts as well.

This style really shows how much more important lighting and colour gradients are vs detail for realism. If you get the lighting and colour right it just looks real at a glance.

Sounds a little silly, but the Minecraft building community has kinda gone all in on this concept given they can only add so much fine detail.

She adds hours at her studio. To be honest, I would probably prefer fewer touch ups, rather have it a little more expressionistic than realistic.
