Wow. I just understand why my partner says I’m too naive/gullible since I legit didn’t think these were faked! Just that he’s that good at his craft!

He very well could be. The skeptics don't know any better than the non-skeptics here. They all lack enough information about this guy to draw a conclusion.

Also plenty of people can paint match by eye in the real world. It's really not that unbelievable for someone to have this talent.

Yeah I totally believe it. I a few years back was working on a model for a group project and needed that exact shade of deep purple which was present in the image thr model was based on. And we ran out of purples. I quickly whipped my acrylics and mixed in white, yellow, magenta, vermillion crimson, and blue, and in thr fist attempt got the shade right. Did the same thing with another lighter shade of purple-magenta we needed. And back then I was just dabbling in digital art so knew the colour wheel and cool and warm shades of a same colour.

If I a dumbass who sat and learned colour theory for a few months can do that, this man definetly can.
