Dezeen | The Master's Pupil is a hand-painted video game informed by Monet's artworks @dezeen | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 17 minutes ago.
Game developer Pat Naoum has launched a video game with backgrounds, creatures and scenery entirely painted by hand, which took seven years to complete.

Available on Nintendo Switch and Steam for Windows and Mac, The Master's Pupil is a 12-level puzzle-adventure game that explores a painterly world through the eyes of French artist Claude Monet.

Naoum painted every background and element seen in the game with acrylic paints on paper before scanning them with a high-resolution film negative scanner.

"The paintings themselves are quite small, the green vines only about five millimetres high, so I used very small brushes along with a wet palette," Naoum told Dezeen. "They were so small, they kept being fuzzy when I used a camera, but the scanner captured more detail than I could even see."
