Coder Makes an Oil Painting Illustration With 100 Percent CSS

A website designer who uses CSS found a website where a coder and artist by the name of Diana Smith used only CSS to create an oil painting. The painting is of a woman gazing into the distance. She has auburn hair, a medium skin tone, natural-colored lips and folded hands. The person who shared the link was impressed by the illustration and wanted to know what others thought about it and how the coding would work.

One person's response to this pure CSS oil painting was their surprise that the coding was not longer. They thought that it would take quite a bit of code in order to achieve this result. Several people agreed with this person's comments. One person joked that the illustration is not responsive, so the creator must not have that much talent.

Many people responded with the things they do not know how to do in CSS and their amazement of Ms. Smith's skills. A few people did not even understand how this could be done with CSS. A few others responded with links of similar illustrations that were done with a combination of CSS and HTML, proving that this is not a new thing for a coder or artist to do.

Several people thought this was fascinating. They applauded the coder for her talent. A few people noticed details in the illustration, such as how the woman's hair is divided into hanks that sort of hang separately in sections, as if her hair had been styled for a portrait. A couple of other people noted that they liked the illustration but do not understand the real-world applications of it. One person replied to say that the real-world application is the deeper understanding of how CSS works when the person makes it and when another person takes a look at the code used to make it.

Some people reported problems with the illustration crashing their phones. They used various browsers and had different operating systems. They noted that zooming in to the illustration was what caused their device to crash. Regular viewing didn't cause crashes. For more information click here https://diana-adrianne.com/purecss-gaze/.
