When you think of a painting, it is most likely that you visualize something you can hang on a wall. Well, not in this case.

Remington Robinson does his painting on Altoids can lids, meaning that the paintings are both small and are meant to be displayed on a flat surface. Robinson is also a master of plein air paintings that are drawn outdoors. So, usually, the artist is inspired by beautiful landscapes, cityscapes, and, from time to time, a coffee cup.

No it doesn't. He's not even painting on the container. He's painting on a piece of paper...

    Trust me they don't teach you how to art in art school ... They make you attend so many at history courses you could automatically get a minor in history 🤦‍♀️ and I'm so bad at history 😬 good thing is I already knew how to art

    Not sure why that was downvoted so take my upvote to get you back to zero. It’s true that falling coconuts kill more people annually than sharks kill. And if you’ve ever seen a freshly harvested coconut in real life, you’d understand why. The outer husks are massive.

    My guess is he took a photograph of the scene and has it developed. Then did the small painting on a little piece of canvas, using the tin as a pallet. Put the painting in the tin and then took a picture of it in front of the original photograph.

    Nice paintings but it seems like he could put out a lot less paint in the pallets.

    They look like pea-sized dollops of paint. Not sure how much less he could use.

    This looks so much the the mountain ranges a few hours away from me, I did a double take. Then I realised the trees there aren't that tall (or cut to make room for the cable car)
