Can we just talk "out of character" here for a second and agree that this is just an objectively bad portrait? Seriously it's like something a high school senior would make for his art final and get a C on... yet everyone is pretending it's such a great and "sharp" picture. I feel like I'm listening to a mother show me and a bunch of other parents her kid's finger painting on the fridge and everyone is just nodding respectfully and congratulating the mom for having such a "talented" kid but I just want to scream and say "IT FUCKING SUCKS YOUR KID IS A HACK" yet no one is saying it about this portrait of Obama yet I feel like if just one person stood up and said "ENOUGH. THIS IS TERRIBLE STOP PRETENDING TO LIKE IT" then millions of others would agree.
Or is that just me? I don't think it's a good portrait at all. Compare it to JFK's... it's like comparing a "Fifty Shades of Gray" to The Odyssey. Seriously.

It's not a good picture. I mean it just looks exactly as you described. A beginner painting student that knows as much about color schemes and color theory as I do. Don't get me won't, Obama looks damn near spot on. But the ivy just looks bad in the background. And the ivy itself is done pretty well. It's just, you look at it and you think a toddler decided he wanted leaves in the background. From what I've read it's not the portrait going in the White House. I'm no fan of Obama but if we're going to hang his portrait in the White House it should be a good one.
Kevin Scott
Can we meme "Obama manspreading" into existence?
Blake Nguyen
ya all politics aside its terrible
Jackson Bailey
someone point this out in another thread
Lucas Richardson
I like that it has Obama outside, while all other presidents' portraits are inside. It gives the sense that he was more of a field nigger than a house nigger.
Jaxon Young
Most likely Obama's face was done from a photograph on an overhead projector. The artist traced it.
Xavier Martin
I mean at least it looks like obama, this shit is fucking TERRIBLE. You can pretend like it’s good, you can claim that “that was the stylistic approach,” this is her M.O, I call bullshit. This portrait does not even resemble Michelle.
Charles Harris
Painter fag here who graduated from the Chelsea School of Art.
It's shit. Pure. Fucking. Shit.
When I first saw it, I thought, someone on Sup Forums could do better. The artistry is poor. Even for a piece that uses Photoshop and projection, I've seen better work in my class.
Then saw that a nigger painted it, and it all made sense.
Cameron Lopez
Requesting Michelle edit with panus.
Noah Brown
Yes, it's trashy.
Blake Perry
so much of the ivy is copy paste
Jayden Sanders
It's called Photorealism user. You trace over the projected photograph and then go from there.

The bushes are a place where probabilities move about. Inside every bush is schrodinger's Nigger. You never know when a Nigger might pop out of the bushes, it's wild.
Robert Lopez
I didn’t like it at first, but it’s growing on me.
Those are representations of real flowers involving Obama’s worldly life story. It’s actually worth zooming into to look at, it’s very classical internet.
It’s very obnoxious, but who cares? The racists would laugh at any portrait he would do. It’s post modern in a very deep way. 2017 was the beginning of a new era. Only time will tell how it will hold up

One thing I don't understand, if a lot of the leaves are copy pasted, does that mean it isn't an actual painting, but rather was just created on some software then printed?

this isn't even fingerpainting-level. he literally copy-pasta'd the leaves haphazardly across the background, and made it look like obama has six fingers.
Benjamin Brown
It's traced
Asher Peterson
I think it's just bad art. From close examination each "copy" is just a shitty painted reproduction. It was just a way to cheat for the artist.
Robert Baker

If this is what a C student at your high school makes, I'd like to see what A students at your school are doing.
You are an A student, aren't you, user? Let's see your projects.

Eli Gutierrez
You have seen lots of art from Sup Forums
Levi Carter
You know, I wouldn't object to Obama having his picture in a garden. If he wants to stand out, you can still look presidential in a garden.
His pose isn't terrible, though I'd have picked a different position for his hands. I'd prefer he be standing, but FDR was sitting (i'm aware he had polio)
Chase White
For you.
Carson Kelly
OP, please stop posting that shopped version. Here is a high quality unstopped version for everyone who respects our president to use,
Joseph Roberts
holy fuck, why is this not happening
Connor Hernandez
I describe it as pretty weak. The lighting could be softer, as the warmth is too emphasized. It makes me think of some generic instagram photo with boosted saturation. Most likely to draw focus on Obama. It makes him feel fake. The background is what really destroys the portrait for me. It fights with the subject matter which is Obama himself. The colors are very warm, and as such feels out of balance. Compared to the other portraits dpnr this is definitely the worst. And don't get me started on Michelle's portrait. That shit looks like a drawing unfinished in Photoshop.
Daniel Campbell

They are both objectively bad. Also it’s a picture of a Nigerian nigger who committed treason so....
Isaac Wilson
What's wrong with your complexion? It looks like she's made out of stone. These portraits are just awful. I see better stuff from anime artists on Danbooru every time I go thair to fap.
The most ridiculous part is there has to have been at least one nigger artist in America who could do decent portraits. They only wanted a chocolate man to do it because of race politics.
Looks like a vaporwave album cover. A E S T H E T I C out of 10
Elijah Rodriguez
Libs at my uni say the picture is unique but all agree that it is inappropriate as a presidential portrait. One even said the artist had a picture depicting a black woman decapitating a white woman. Is that last part true?
Jack Bell
not actually photoshopped, he has 10 chinks in Beijing doing the painting for him

It's fucking comedy gold. It literally needs no memeing or commentary on our part. Even normies have been able to overcome their fear of being called raysis to admit it is hilarious. Just that image of his portrait with all of the other previous classy portrait. Oh my god, fucking priceless. If ever you needed proof that nigs are gonna nog, even when they're the most powerful man in the world, there ya go. Nigs noggin.

Some art is just bad.
Lincoln Jenkins
I think it looks tight, just wish they would have rendered the leaves in the background fully instead of cell shading them. Michelle's portrait is the bad one, not a good likeness at all.

Nobody actually liked it when it was revealed. As the minutes and hours went on post reveal more and more people expressed dissatisfaction, even among his ardent fans.
Did you even pay attention to the public reaction upon reveal, or do you have an IV drip of MSNBC permanently attached to your aorta?
