Disney movies have given moments of pure magic to everyone on this planet. They make you laugh, they make you cry, and they always give you a great story to remember forever. And let’s not forget the amazing visuals of them: whether you’re talking about the old movies or the newer ones, everything just looks amazing. But what if there’s a way to make them look even better?
Thomas Kinkade probably wondered the same thing and came with the perfect answer: paint these movies.
Yes, these are paintings. The fact that they almost look like digital illustrations is because Thomas is actually very proficient in a painting technique called chiaroscuro. This technique makes use of big contrasts to give the illusion of depth and volume. It makes these paintings look much more amazing and grand in scale than they really are. It’s like these characters are living in a fully 3D world, despite having been painted on a canvas.
