Hyper Realistic!

Looks like a photograph right? Don't be fooled by your eyes. It is actually a painting! Whoa! A work by a New York artist Alyssa Monk, the painting looks like a real photo. This type of painting is called hyper realism. Awesome!

It's amazing how she do techniques to achieve the mist and water droplet effects.

Of course, she first capture a photo then use it as its reference when painting. Great work! A really rare talent.
