My next project will be my biggest ever 😳… and it will be either one of my biggest fails or one of the greatest things ever 🙈… wish me luck!!! For info on my upcoming exhibition head over to alpayefe.com

[@zoria5900]

never been to an exhibition, will there be an entrance fee? and is the vernissage open for everybody?

[@hopereheis1052]

I’m sure you won’t fail! You always amaze me with your work! Good luck 😊

[@megankachur4965]

I love the subject. It doesn't get cooler than a feminine heroine in armor. And I think the composition is perfect. I'm excited to see more of the exhibition! I can only imagine what would complement this. You know you're already killing it right? 😉 I wish I could see it in person!

[@khatias5908]

i often think that i will fail, i think its artist's disease or.. fear)))))

[@marlen1702]

"tag someone in the comments down below who's scared of projectors" :DDDDDDDDD I just had to laugh so hard

[@JonasOlsonFabrication]

Amazing as always

[@sallybally9731]

Cool

[@hopereheis1052]

I like that you said that you don’t admit things because there’s no need to feel uncomfortable for how we do our art and what resources and skills we use. Also this painting is stunning and I love your narration. You’re my favorite KZbinr. I watch you more than any other

[@ArtbyKurtisEdwards]

It really is his narration. I mean, I love his art and technique, but it's his words and support that really make me feel like I can do it too.

[@alejandromolinac]

Varios types of "projection" have been in use for hundreds of years....

[@mnm21800]

You’re one of my favourite artist. I love how vibrant and purposeful your paintings always turn out to be. They have the type of delicacy that I haven’t seen in any other persons work. Your narrations are helpful and calming and that paired with clips of your process makes for such a peaceful video. I’m so happy I found your channel

[@julyannejuly]

Какими красками он рисует?

[@rosamente]

You can trace a drawing onto a canvas with extreme detail, but if you don’t know how to paint, your work won’t look good. That’s what people don’t understand. It’s true that the likeness can be much better with a projector, but as you said, the objective is to make things flow as smooth as possible. Exercising your drawing skills to capture likeness is just one of the many sides of art making. Congratulations man, your paintings are so vibrant and elegant 🙌🏽

[@adilroufi8642]

Why its important what propel says its important to work for self and getting my plaisair from my art work

[@jeutdraw3021]

rosamente,,, lets connected, i Love drawing,,,

[@jldavis07]

Yesss… so true! My students were stunned that artists use projectors. I tell them that if you want to make a living from selling your art, then use the tools available along with your creative problem solving and technical skill! Continue to practice drawing skills from observation because developing that eye to hand connection is incredibly important in many facets of art. I actually think the likeness in portraiture comes into play with all of the nuances that the projector does not help transfer, but instead the artist with a trained eye and technical ability is able to capture so methodically.

[@alejandromolinac]

@@jldavis07 HUh? When I was in art school there were all sorts of projectors.... The work well if you don't wanna bother with a grid or have a large surface and want to get the proportions just right.... Sigh... Young People, Am I Right....

[@leif1075]

@@alejandromolinac What exactly do you use a projector for if you are painting and the medium medium therefore..paint..oil or watercolor or whatever..what you are projecting and why?

[@newforce5699]

Yes… “professional” artist. You mean, new age watered down artist.

[@alexanderv.zolotarev6185]

😂😂😂 фигня ....50 лет назад, в СССР не было банеров и мы художники, что работали в Худфонде, точно так рисовали наружную кинореклами, но не пользуясь компьютером... щиты были размером 3 метра на 5 метров, грунтовали и рисовали гуашью с добавлением канцилярского клея, чтобы после того как реклама провисела 7 дней смыть краску водой и поновой нарисовать уже другую картинку для следующего кинофильма!

[@carlosquinteronoda]

I confess that I really like your videos. You are truly and artist, not only with the brush but with the camera, microphone, and video editing. I work in a completely different field but I am certain I want to learn from you while I enjoy such wonderful craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this with us! 😊

[@AlpayEfe]

Thanks so much for the nice comment, really makes my day 😊

[@LuisSotogarabatoz]

I found the same portrait picture you painted in this video about a month ago. You beat me to it. You are the greatest!!

[@xy4006]

If you see this, can you please block me? Your mediocre art keeps showing up in my recommended feed. All you do is the same copy pasting over and over again although you have a good feeling for colour. Try to expand your skillset.

[@elizabethmarie7828]

I'm very much enjoying your style of painting with the intentional imperfections. It adds so much character and helps you appreciate that it is a painting, not a photograph.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I always look forward to your videos regardless. I’m a firm believer in using whatever thing I need to make my painting process easier. I don’t know where this dumb idea started that tracing, using a lightbox or projector, even carbon or graphite paper is a fail. It’s dumb. And inaccurate. Every artist I know or follow starts their composition on anything other than their final substrate.

[@Aisha_shaikh.]

From where you learn painting. Every time I watch your vids it inspires me soo much I really want to pursue art as my profession.

[@AlpayEfe]

I’m a self taught artist :)

[@Aisha_shaikh.]

[@kentjensen4504]

You’re an excellent illustrator. That’s what I think of you as. Not so much an artist. I’m afraid I feel like you don’t have anything to tell the world. It seems be mostly just technique. So when you speak of “inspiration” I always wonder what does that word mean to you.

[@space.tel-e-grams]

I think the rub with projectors is that some people use projectors as a crutch because they don't want to bother with learning to draw. Personally I don't really even have a problem with people doing that, because I think gatekeeping in art is dumb, but I think the art suffers if they skip fundamentals.

Wow, I love how this painting turned out! I hope so much that you will share more of your paintings from your upcoming Exhibition. That would be amazing for all of us who are not able to travel right now to attend your show. Also I would love to hear you speak more on how you've come to believe in yourself as an artist, and how to build self-confidence and be more bold in your paintings and approach to creating art. Are there specific exercises and practices you can do that you would recommend? Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ayaanrai3470]

Hey good luck on the solo show Alpay ! Also can't wait for the next one when you paint the special someone 😉.. Have a good show !

Thanks 🙏😊

Truly amazing work. Do you ever have any shows in California or New York?

[@darlene4639]

I recommend the simple, sweet software PureRef for having multiple references at once :) It's an art lifesaver. You can just drag and drop images into it, zoom into specific images by double clicking, and arrange to your heart's content! :D

[@kiwimiwi5452]

I've been kind of missing my spark recently. I just didn't have any motivation to pick up a brush and paint something, but you are helping me find it again

[@shadowstone13]

Hey, Alpay. I was wondering if you could share with us what your palette looks like as you paint. I am so inspired by your work, but am always curious about that aspect of the painting process that painters so rarely show. As a new painter, some of my biggest moments of growth have come from seeing the palette habits of painters who actually know what they are doing.

[@stephensmith7995]

I recently started using a projector for my paintings. It takes away the headache of trying to get the sketch right and the frustration of finding out mid-paint that I got my proportions wrong and the whole thing is a failure. I have far more motivation to paint now that I don't have to dread the initial sketch.

[@ChrisAbramsArt]

Stunning production as always, and a true inspiration - watched it several times over! 10/10 better than Netflix!

I *love* round canvases. I just started painting a couple of years ago, and for whatever reason, I've gravitated toward round canvases from the start. I've done square and rectangular, but the vast majority -- especially those I've actually finished -- are round. Can't explain why, I just love them! Glad to see them getting some love here.

Paint a live model instead of a collage of still internet images! If not, at least pose a live model and take photo's for said artwork. You'll most certainly enjoy it more, develop more & also friend a new person. No regrets here!
