Amazing art

I have to give it up to this artist named Reza. It took him 2 years and 6,000 physical paintings to make this video, it is intense to think of how painstakingly tedious it must have been to finish it.  That is true art though.  Spending 2 years of your life for an end product that is only 5 minutes takes extraordinary commitment.  I can say that this guy has at least inspired me to start my art again if not more.

watch it and take not just the video but the process, the brush strokes and the color change.
