Those are wild. The metallic ones look like airbrush, but they could also have been painted in a paint program on the computer (honestly not sure if anyone uses airbrush anymore.) the piano looks like graphite and the wrench looks like mixed water media, (watercolor and gouache) and from experience, photo realistic paintings look even more photorealistic when you look at them in a photograph, often because the image has been reduced from its original size, so you lose the brush strokes and small details that the artist’s tools leave behind. (Less so on images “painted” on a computer).

@george-k Love watching the videos of in process. Sometimes I get to the point after the underpainting (toned canvas, thinned brown oil paint) and just want to call them done because I like them like that.
