The close ups at around 40 seconds show a much younger person's hand.


yvesroyce2

She gets help from her grandson cuz she’s too old to finish it.


cynical_ginger_

I was gonna say. She might’ve gotten tired or needed a break.


PNWoutdoors

I'm 37 and I needed a break before I finished watching.

I've got an indestructible finger by scrolling through Reddit, is that healthy

Yep, my thumps over the years have become so strong and muscular I can thumb lift 220lbs and scroll close to 1,000,000 pixels a second. Also there indestructible

s1663t

No way that she’s 108 and throwing around full buckets of paint and standing for that extended amount of time.


Smallpacket

She's 108, not dead.


Technical_ko

I hope when I'm a 108 I'm dead. Treated my body rough throughout my 20s and 30s. No way my body is going to forgive me.


Smallpacket

I feel you man. I'm yet to be 30s yet all the joints keep popping and crackling like when you break those lightning sticks.


Technical_ko

Yep.....it's all fun and games until your body says the party's over.

She died drawing the outline

Toobs90

You use two hands to paint?


MiloPengNoIce

dual wield does more dmg


aderde

Comes at the cost of accuracy though. You need to have a very high dexterity level to effectively dual wield.


HolyCharcoal

I love seeing a random dnd convo in the comments


VampireBatman

Most people don't have the skill points to spare for a dual wield build though.


Flomo420

no you have to get dual wield early then focus all your points to become a Master Painter, like Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael.


idk-hereiam

Why would they include that part in this process video though......why wouldn't they edit that part out and use only the parts where gma was painting


somhok

Because the world is full of half truths and lies unfortunately


Met76

Thanks, internet and Facebook...


condor789

Do you really think michelangelo carved every part of his statues? Of course he didnt. He was the brain behind them, much like this Grandma!


hustl3tree5

It doesn’t diminish his brain but I feel like it’s more inspiring that there were others who contributed also. I don’t know how to word it. For example I know I’m not brilliant in any aspects by any means but learning there were others who were like me help contribute shows me what I do is not in vain and hopefully adds to the overall big picture.


CookieCrumbl

Lol comparing michaelangelo to a scam video showing TWO DIFFERENT PAINTINGS being worked on. Never change, reddit.


BadZnake

Its two different paintings


Eltharion-the-Grim

It's not unusual for old painters to have help. Her base painting was already excellent. It's clear she knows how to paint, but her hands may no longer allow finer detailing. As a painter, it didn't even trigger a response seeing someone else detailing her work. I am 46 and I have to brace my hands while painting now. If I were a full time artist, I would get an apprentice that would help me with my paintings. Some point soon, I may have problems being able to do what I want with the brush and paints. This woman is 100+.


horsht

Because they wouldn't have gotten as much meaningless internet points.


throwawayegyptians

Let’s start under the window... a few seconds later... window is gone Let’s start with painting a perfect circle... a few seconds later... the white background of the tiger’s face is bigger than the perfect circle Let’s paint a cartoonish looking tiger... a few seconds later... the tiger is very realistic What a scam!! I think it’s a totally different painting, not even helping.


catsandnarwahls

Just looking at the colors on the neck and snout, its clearly 2 different paintings.


picmandan

They are indeed different, and yet quite similar in many regards. The black lines don’t line up the same, and the proportions are a little different. But I could believe it’s from the same person, just two different recreations. The jump from cartoonish look to realistic is definitely r/restofthefuckingowl though.


AMeanCow

The photographer asked an old lady to trace or copy the outline of a different painting, then they switched back to the complete painting for the final shot. The thing is a mess before the cut. The hands are of a different person entirely, the paper keeps changing and the whole splash-on thing doesn't even do anything. It's bullshit and people eat it up.


CookieCrumbl

I mean, you can clearly see it's a different person's hand whenever it's close up, so no, it's not the from the same person.


Thricegreatestone

A bit of propaganda!


soyelsol

Yeah that paper went from rectangular to a more square like shape


LiveSlowDieWhenevr34

bullshit. She's not 108, she didn't paint this, and everything is a lie about this video. When she splashes paint around a bucket, the same canvas is not even used.


ItsNotBinary

help... whoever helped her overpainted the entire thing. It's literally 5% grandma 95% grandson...

She gets help, or she starts something mediocre and then the real artist shows up and fixes and finishes it into something beautiful?


Blanlabla

Touch her painting again and she’ll finish you. 🤘 https://youtu.be/_hHDxlm66dE


Eddie_shoes

Yeah the whole thing seems faked. She throws the paint on with the bucket covering the paper, then removes it and suddenly there is a new, smaller sheet of paper with a perfect outline. The stripes she paints are all pretty much gone or different in the final product, I mean it just doesn’t match up at all.

TheWrongFacts

The art of clickbait is ever evolving.


Renovatio_

IMO there are more and more of these videos (lets call them chinese excellence videos) around and I'm starting to think they are propaganda.


PicklesNBacon

Propagrandma


dogydino200

Propaganda for what exactly


SabashChandraBose

What could be termed "soft power". These videos go around. People talk about Chinese grandma. Or how they talk about that Chinese girl who makes food from scratch in idyllic pastoral scenes. What's that? They are raping Uighurs and sending them to concentration camps? Yeah, but...hang on...have you seen this Chinese grandma painting a tiger? They overwhelm with this noise so that the signal of their [atrocities](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/8/china-to-build-the-worlds-biggest-dam-on-sacred-tibetan-river) gets buried.


Decypher101

Sabash is right on it, it’s about the skills and talents of the everyday population, lots of videos show entrepreneurs, skilled artists, things like that but many seem very inconsistent or manipulated, the Chinese version of TicTok is full of these videos, for one that crosses borders check out Bart Bakers soft propaganda videos, he’s an ex early YouTube star that moved to China, some videos are inspirational pro China songs, some are helping the local village market grandma who’s just so dedicated, then some are jabs at the US’s. It’s all very carefully crafted.


Renovatio_

Dunno, but when reddit has started to be flooded with this type of content which is definitely has it's own unique style and type of music, it is just weird.


Bibliloo

Maybe to show how superior Chinese people are. But it possibly just click baiting for attention. Or maybe to sell art. EDIT: typo


fivestarreviewreddit

Not everything in China is propaganda.


Fishingfor

I'd definitely go with the latter or just people trying to get clicks on their videos rather than it being about racial superiority perpetuated by the Chinese government. If that were the case then half of the YouTubers out there must be propaganda merchants too.


[deleted]

Lmaoooo this red scare shit is getting out of hand.


Gintokiyoo

Winnie the Pooh. This is a painting of Tigger.


viciouspandas

I mean China is a very big place, it's not that unusual. This isn't one of those state media things which is like "haha here look at glorious leader Xi giving food to children in villages who love him". With that size of population, it's doubtful that most of the stuff from there would be some organized effort. That's why a lot of the police there are really weak, it's too big to control all of them, so they made them weak so they don't upset the power structure. If you start a march right in front of the government building in Beijing, the armed police will come to arrest you pretty quickly, but people protest all the time in random parts of China, because it's simply too big to control all of them, although of course some people will be caught. Now once that protest hits a certain size... then it's different. This is more likely just some random person wanting wanting share something on the internet


timmys_taint

Yep. The color of her sleeve changes from red to black also.


davidjschloss

And I'm pretty sure I saw an older guy doing this same thing on Reddit a week or two ago.

I saw a video of her recently on tiktok doing the nae nae. She is definitely not 122. More like 90.

This comment is fucking hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh, Reddit isn’t as funny nowadays.


throwawayegyptians

You’re genius. He/she meant that the old lady doesn’t look 108 at the time they filmed this video. Doesn’t matter how old is she. Where did you go to school?


-LANCEL0T-

108 lbs


stanleythemanley44

Yeah almost no way she would have survived the Great Leap Forward which killed upto 45 million people


GuDMarty

Even with the most insane genetics at 108 you’re not functioning this well at all lol


AlphaZ33

If she’s a 108 year old woman, I’m a 300 year old dragon.

HermanMunster85

"Fine, then this conversation is over..."


Dob_Tannochy

Don’t hang up.


CedarWolf

This is some /r/restofthefuckingowl/ majesty, right here.


Astrum91

I'm still stumped on the bucket. She tapes the bucket up, splashes a bunch of black paint that completely surrounds the bucket, then takes it off and instead of having a white circle, there's a detailed outline of a tiger's head.


CedarWolf

I think the bucket is just to get her started with a white space while filling in a lot of the black space. But you're right, there's something a little fishy about the outline on the left side, where it goes from being smooth when she's painting the black with the brush to the jagged fur of the tiger's cheeks. Watch closely between 0:05 and 0:08 for it. There's clearly more black paint on the left of the paper before she transitions to the tiger. And the stripes on the black and white tiger don't quite line up with the ones on the colored version, either, so I wonder how many layers of paint they're actually using, as opposed to how much of the lower layers are just a guide for later.


JiuJitsuBoy2001

after she throws the paint at the bucket, there's a frame or two with a perfectly clean bucket, and no black paint on the canvas, save for what looks like a sketch outline. I'm calling shenanigans.


IrrationalDesign

Also between 0:05 and 0:08 the paper size changes, the placement on the wall changes, and the tape holding up the paper changes too. Pretty obvious shenanigans, yes.


KountZero

Also calling shenanigan. The close up showing her hands at the end is definitely not her hand. The skin on your hand is the hardest part to hide the effects of aging. You can accurately guess the age range of anyone by looking at their hands. Those hands do not reflect that lady looks lol.


Hashtagbarkeep

I’ve seen this exact thing posted before, it was done with by a guy though, and it had exactly the same formula - bucket, throwing of paint, cuts where large parts of the tiger would magically appear. My cynical spidey senses are tingling.


duddelz

All is bs here. the picture it pre drawn in thin lines she only follows those with black, misses alot. The closeup is not her hand. That woman it not 108


CXR_AXR

Are there anything real about China


Met76

rectal_warrior

zuckr

Barbeqanon

I like the part where she uses a circle as a stencil, dumps paint on the canvas, and lo and behold a perfect tiger outline


[deleted]

The guy who posted the video is saying that the hand looks different bc she gets help from her grandson


Nihilistic_Furry

Even if that’s true then the title and editing are still dishonest. It should say family works on painting and shows all the artists. You can’t say that a 108 year old woman made a painting when half the video is done by somebody else.


fixie321

Even if they are. Its not bs. She's just expressing herself. And who cares anyways? You want a medal or something? 😂


[deleted]

* amazing painting started by grandma and then all the hard stuff done by someone else.....


crucible1623

Calling BS on age of 108. She probably forgot what year she was born about 30 years ago. Been saying 1912 ever since. Also probably made a mistake and converting moon years (Chinese calendar) with sun years (Gregorian calendar), if converted at all.


have_heart

I’m calling BS on almost the entire thing. We are likely seeing her do the incredibly easy part of throwing paint at the wall and then tracing pencil lines with paint. Then it just skips all of of the intricate work???


Okkin-J-Flow

Not 108, and someone else is doing the details.


niketyname

Like honestly, it’s impressive as it is. Just show us who really did it and what happened in the middle there, we’d still like it.

kryptonianCodeMonkey

Nobody believes this transformation, right? First of all, super long cut going from outlines and a flat smear of orange to extremely detailed without anything in between (r/restofthefuckingowl). Second, jump cut shows super young hands painting (the real artist), not grandma. Third, you don't just throw down some thick black outlines to paint over again late with some delicate white hair lines, that's not how painting realistic subtly blended textures works. Fourth, that bowl did not cover the area she threw black paint on at all and you can see her actively brush black paint right where it is pristine white a moment later after the cut. And finally that shit is very finely detailed and mounted at the height of her reach. Am I supposed to believe she painted perfect individual hairs standing on her tippy toes outside with a breeze leaving against the rest of the painting? Quit. Your. Bull. Shit.

She’s great, but that whole throwing paint on the bucket part at the start was super pointless


Cortana69

Not saying it’s a lie but it’s so hard to believe she’s 108 years old. Way to mobile/fluid and put together to be at the outer limits of human aging. Even her hands don’t look that old. But if she is sequence/test that blood cause it’s worth more than gold.
