    I am truly speechless. I have no words. Painstakingly brilliant comes to mind but that's not it either.
    Beauty in life is sometimes about details isn't it?
    Some people see and appreciate the details. Others have no idea they are even there.
    Thank you

    Great painting!
    As a fisherman I've been sketching and painting fish of my own. I thought they were pretty good, but this makes mine look like a crayon drawing. After watching this, I'm more motivated to paint my own! Thanks!

    Mr. Witte,
    As an artist myself who leans and strives for realism with multiple mediums I have to say what a breathtaking experience it has been to watch you perform your craft. There are not too many times I am left speechless but your work is such a pleasure to watch.
    Thank you so much for posting.

    If I took hundreds of thousands of classes, I still could never come close to this... Now THAT'S the definition of talent~

    Marcel ... I have only just discovered your work, which I admire greatly on several levels. Your artistic talent is remarkable; beautiful craftmanship. The idea of staging your images on a "blank screen" is such a novel way of emphasising the subject. And, as a zoologist and filmmaker, equally I enjoy your use of art to express irony and offer environmental comment. There is so much commitment in what you do. Thank you for sharing it.

    Stunning! I have raised aquarium fish since a young age (50's). I have taken art classes at the NYC Art's students league (alas I was more 3d sculpture ). But it showed me how much talent is needed to do this sort of rendition.
    Stunningly beautiful and the particular mark of making it more than an Audobon painting - the fish on a leash (like a dog collar) - whatever one reads that to mean.
    Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing your talent.

    I wish RUclips had more videos like this, and fewer videos of people doing spray paint art on the street--it was cool for a while, but jeez has that trick been done. Love these videos, Mate.

    Wat een prachtig stuk weer! Ik ben echt onder de indruk van je vakmanschap en de geniale onderwerpen op al je schilderijen. Wat geweldig dat je het proces met ons op youtube deelt. Ik hoop er in ieder geval veel van te leren.

    Hi Winnie,
    I use several kinds and brands of brushes. For the detail painting I prefer the pure red sable of Rembrandt. These brushes are round and have a extra fine point.
    The large brush that I use for the background have synthetic hair and is from the home brand of Hoopman-Amsterdam, a Dutch shop in art materials.
