Beautiful Brush-Less Portraits (12 pieces) One look at David Walker's beautiful brush-less portraits, and you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you he only started painting three years ago. For two of those years, he only painted in black, white, and pink because it was cheaper and allowed him to concentrate on his subjects more. Then, he came across a box of random colored paint that had been buried in the studio and he started exploring with as many colors as he could, all at once. "It just felt right at the time and it’s been a lot of fun," he says. Walker doesn't use brushes because he wants the pieces to raise questions about graffiti and traditional painting. "People are normally quite surprised the work is made from spray paint and I think many are also surprised they actually like the work when its outside on a wall; suddenly they have connected with a scene that they previously had no time for at all.
" As for the faces that he paints, he doesn't know them all. Phan Thu Trang Paintings&-&AmO Images: Capturing the Beauty of Life&-&AmO Images: Capturing the Beauty of Life.

Leonid Afremov is a Belarus born, Israeli modern painter who creates unique landscapes, cityscapes and figures using a palette knife rather than a brush to paint.
"I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and pallette-knife. Every artwork is the result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the creative search; every painting is full of my inner world.

By Teddy Zareva Newspaper cutout, hidden messages, and what Oliver Twist has to do with ink stains. Cherri Wood is one of those rare nineteen-year-olds who manage to translate their mandatory teen angst into wonderful works of art. Her drawings combine that childish, messy quality of art with the intensity of adult reality. Simple but rich like a haiku, Wood’s work reveals graphite kids standing in the watercolor dirt, daring you to fill in the wide white blanks of the world.
The Oliver Twists of her canvases, inspired by a lost fingernail or the freakish masks of her neighbors, speak volumes with their faceless melancholy. The talented teenager can transform a newspaper cutout and a piece of duct tape into something much grander and more profound, into tiny pieces chipped away from on old soul. Do check out Cherri Wood‘s extraordinary work. Share on Tumblr.

A lonely gray road, an empty street, a concrete wall and dirty manhole covers can all be so much more fun when decorated with colorful art. That was exactly on the French street artist OakoAk’s mind when he started this street art project. He places humorous and clever installations at the most surprising places out in the streets. They are certainly eye catching and fun to spot when your out taking a walk. His inspiration is often from current social issues and other pop culture icons. A rectangle found on the sidewalk is easily turned into a Gameboy, a handicap sign into ice water with polar bears on it, and a white electronic box into a snowman. Another bad-ass street artist that is really killing it as well, is the famous MTO and his awesome graffiti.

Stunning Realism in Oil Paintings by Pedro Campos. 46-year-old Pedro Campos – artist from Madrid. Using oil paints, he re-creates an incredibly realistic still lifes, which are very easily mistaken for photographs. He works in a variety of areas – from design and interior illustrations (in advertising) to the restoration of furniture, paintings and sculptures.
A painting he generally began only 30 years old. “I think the development of my own drawing style strongly influenced the process of restoring paintings – said by the Spanish artist. – Restoration of the ancient art forces you to look for a solution in color: any personal contribution of the artist to remain unnoticed. ” While many compare Campos with other masters of realism, he admires artists such as Lucien Freud, Richard Estes, Francis Bacon, Antonio Lopez and Anish Kapoor for the specifics of their work. Below you will find a small selection of the incredible work of Pedro Campos. Birds by Abby Diamond. Beautiful Watercolor Landscapes (12 pieces) Z.L.
