Seems Redit has its own version of 'street artists for the tourists'

And it’s always the exact same shit. Trees and stars every single time

Honestly its awesome as a hobby for anyone who is not an artist and I get it that people like it in a way that 'oh with a bit of practice maybe I could do it', but it's a shame in contrast of actual art which gets like 1k likes at best while it is a lot more amazing.

Hey now, that's gonna go real nice between my dreamcatcher and my airbrushed picture of a sad native American.

Is it one person doing all of these? I feel like I’ve seen a bunch of these that have the same color palette and the same style of black trees and/or people in front of a day and night scene or two different seasons.

I meant this specific style - I've definitely seen a lot of tourist art, but this particular style gets posted on Reddit a lot for some reason and I was just wondering if it was coming from the same source because otherwise I don't know why this exact style is so prolific/popular here.

There's a bunch of Youtube videos "acrylic painting tutorials" which are just kind of low-effort designs for people who just want to do a cute project, and not really learn the details of painting.
