Imagine messing up this one stroke

Anyone else notice the paint seem to slide/ stretch across?

Would be awesome if this is real. Majority opinion in my head says it's fake af because of that little paint ripple at the end.

edit: maybe it's just the material moving, though?

From my Bob Ross days this looks real to me.

Not sure of the specifics but he's painting on canvas which can flex.

From the tool he's using to paint, I expect this is that textured paint that feels/looks like spackle. What I think is happening here is he's going over a raised edge in the painting making it easy to "edge highlight" with this single stroke across the raised edges.

It's more 3D than 2D.

Looks like the canvas warping from the applied pressure

I would guess the material is moving, since canvas is more like fabric than paper and is pretty tough.

But I also think the way this was painted allowed him to do this. The tips of the waves are probably built up with extra paint so they stick out further than the other areas. Which allows him to just take a broad stroke to cast the spray across the entire area.

IF that's the case and it isn't just a fake, then it's very impressive that he was able to set it all up for that, and then pulled it off seamlessly.

The little blob of paint on the blade doesn’t move the entire time. It should deform if the blade is making contact as it shows. There’s a part where there should be obvious deformation as white goes down under it and it just doesn’t move at all.

I think it’s the canvas deformation from being pressed in.
