W Richards Paintings

Richard Estes is an American painter who uses photography as the starting point for his remarkably realistic street-scene paintings. Estes takes numerous photos of his subject from all angles, then manipulates, cuts, and pastes them together into a composition he likes. He paints that composition with incredible attention to detail, and the result is a hyper-realistic painting of a scene that only partially exists in real life.
