OIL PAINTING TIPS || The Mind of an Artist #13

Cheers...🍻

[@mymusic11525]

Alpay Efe wow I’m early this time! 🙊🌞

[@AniVan1R]

It's funny how you repeat that people say "you ruin" your paintings by introducing abstractions. 😂 I need to learn how to "ruin" my paintings to make them less dull. I think you're really inspiring. It's a shame we live in different continents! I would love to go to your painting workshops. 😢

[@Citroen_2cv]

Cheers, mate. Nigella Lawson has said "Make a tart. Don't wait too long to make another one." That's what I keep in my head about my painting practice.

[@AlpayEfe]

Carlos Martínez I repeat it because the comment section in every video is filled with a healthy number of people whining because I don’t do what they personally want :)

[@AniVan1R]

@@AlpayEfe hahaha It's not like it's their painting, so who cares.

[@averysalbum]

So inspiring, makes me want to drop everything and paint right now

[@AlpayEfe]

Then do it :)

[@Vixa_Jaz]

Alpay Efe -I don’t think my boss would appreciate that 😂

[@s1r1us_ufolog]

Oh yeah! U push me to keep painting in my life.

“Not giving a shit” MY MAN. I get so worried about messing it up when I can just try try again 😊

[@artimisrok313]

This dude could be my therapist. I came for the art, now I’m here to get over my anxiety. Every video is another session 🥃

[@jayanand555]

Got to learn many things about art in general thank you for the video...

[@TheGoodKingBadru]

Best art video and narration ever!!! Good job / Thank you

[@oilonpaper]

How refreshing to hear someone NOT preach about the importance of archival paints and materials for everything you create... 😅

[@pat4005]

Always 👍🏻 and ❤️🎨

[@hannahtanner3758]

Alpay: "And then I pay even less attention to these areas." Meamwhile, I'm sitting here thinking it's already so beautiful 😩

[@lilio2997]

Your videos relax me so much.

[@breprince1205]

You're not destroying your art; you're stylizing it.

[@nebularcore]

The crazy thing about art today is the fact that we can share our art and thoughts and ideas on a widespread popular platform such as KZbin. I (like other viewers, I'm sure) feel more closely familiar with the artist. And once I buy (which I plan to do one day) one of the artists works I feel I will have a deeper connection to the artwork due to being able to understand the mind of the artist through these videos and ultimately due to the advances of technology. It's a treat to live in the tech savvy world we do.

[@StevenBeard]

'Oh I couldn't give a shit' the best thing I've heard this week, thank you.

[@cmdesign01]

What I like is the fact you come across really humble and unpretentious

[@Sammichx]

I needed this 🙌🏾

[@marysparrowfineart]

That deserves a frame...a hang on the wall and a drink! Thank you!! I love your destroyed work!

[@yasemin8102]

I get not only tips for painting, but also tips for thoughts to calm down and be filled with good energy.good luck

[@robertalexander3067]

I love your work for a few different reasons, but you know what, after watching a few videos, it occurred to me, that your philosophy is more important than your methodology. Great stuff!!!

[@bobbyhaddock2242]

Love your videos there awesome. Was curious to see if you ever paint with all acrylics ???

[@charlotte155]

Thanks for all your advice you have learned me so much, thanks!

[@emilybarrett539]

i appreciate this channel so much because he is obviously formally trained and yet he gives away his knowledge for free in a fun way to anyone who wants to learn. this channel is so special.

[@skaipaints]

Love. I was anxiously waiting for you to cover one of the eyes with paint haha

[@AlpayEfe]

Skaistė Butkutė haha 😂

[@sarahmiller1390]

I finished a small painting of a girl with purple skin and no hair with a flat teal background and some gold details thrown in. It was... different to say the least. I LOVED it but I know not to many people would but my friend bought it for a white elephant gift exchange and it exchanged hands a few times before it finally found its forever home (which for a white elephant is a good thing) and that made me feel SO good :)

[@sadiekathleen9110]

i do not think that you adding ur background work in “ruins” ur art. it makes it more unique and so magical. i genuinely love how peaceful it makes the painting.

[@jia6847]

I like your attitude for the life, thanks for sharing, you inspired me!

[@amysbees6686]

Excellent advice! Simple yet profoundly difficult at times to achieve.

[@rebeccarhoten8591]

OMG “the right way of giving a shit” sent me... you are a wordsmith 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@ameliamango5688]

So true! - you do you...period. I love the motion that your abstractions add.

[@gamelogic5949]

Love your videos bro.. I dont get it when people care so much about what others think!! You dont destroy your paintings, you make them your own..

[@gwenritch]

Im an acrylic painter. Love your style. Thanks for the video

[@MohamedMohsen-se1bu]

Very entertaining and informative!! Love what you do with the roller!!

[@H00DEY]

You’ve really opened my eyes to what I should think about art and I’m buying oils just to try and create like this for fun I’m not gonna sell maybe give away to friends and family but you make it easy to realize that it’s supposed to be fun and enjoy it because that’s important

[@lenelvstrm7248]

Yes! First time watching you and already like what I see! I too love Quinachridone Magenta! Thx for sharing!

[@bethcroudace8330]

I so enjoy your tutorials, you are brilliant.

[@siripremfors8425]

Ive only watched like 3 or 4 of this guy's videos and I'm so hooked. The paintings are beautiful, and I become so inspired to try and paint portraits, but also his voice is SO appealing. Like, the actual voice? so sexy. The reasoning? Fascinating and thought provoking. I have a new internet crush. Amazing art. All I want to do is go home, buy oil paint, and try it.

[@tommybell1786]

These videos are amazing & have some of the best advice I've heard.

[@asil0072]

I wish you gave online step by step lessons !

[@sophiaelborginy6629]

Very beautiful painting and very helpful talk, you make it harder for me to decide which of your videos is my favorite!

[@noureladli5599]

I really watch ur videos not just only for ur art and painting,but also for ur great, inspiring and soul touching talk ,,plz go on and continue pleasing us with ur masterpieces .

[@me951129]

It's so amazing to be watching you here on KZbin only to find out that there are Ausstellungen of your pieces in my Stadt 😍

[@AlpayEfe]

welche denn 😊?

[@me951129]

@@AlpayEfe in Essen! For 2020 I was really thinking of deepening my creative side und habe nachgeschaut ob ich mit Acrylic oder Öl-Farbe lernen soll and your art confirmed it for me! Absolutely gorgeous

[@AlpayEfe]

Da bin ich morgen... meine Empfehlung ist übrigens Öl!

[@me951129]

Ach wie cool! Und wieso denn eigentlich? Weil das was ich an Acryl zum Beispiel nicht mag, is that the colors are not so vibrant to my eyes. Maybe i have just not been getting the right quality but idk 😐 correct me if i'm wrong

[@AlpayEfe]

Acryl Farbe ist nicht so brilliant und auch bei weitem nicht so flexibel wie Ölfarbe.

[@chrisgenovese8188]

I would have subscribed for the painting alone or just the philosophical treatise on not giving a shit, but I was enchanted by the combination of both. Thank you

[@bl4ckc4tn0m4d]

absolutely in awe of your philosophy towards painting, so refreshing and encouraging!

[@barca10108]

Best advice hands down. Overthinking is definitely the key factor on not creating what’s originally in your head.

[@ilearnguitar25]

I love it, makes me want to pull everything out again!

[@pwking1115]

I just watched this video for the first time and just recently subscribed to your channel. Just wanted to say I really loved this video and what you said. Thanks for your insight!! I really appreciate it.

[@danielwilkinson1326]

You had me at "not giving a shit" 😌 ...my new mantra. Great vid as always!

[@tadretz4473]

Really Nice! I especially love the way you painted the flowers and have extreme hard and extreme soft edges.

[@Ana-yb3bx]

I love ur art style and view on art look forward to seeing more.

[@aurorarain1265]

Love this..just smile and paint-entertaining and informative, no whack music. Thank you. I subscribed immediately. Looking forward to more!

[@yc6603]

Brilliant philosophy! I really enjoy watching you paint and listening to your commentary.

[@mavisseah2547]

Love the colour scheme on this one. I've been watching all your videos now and have been playing them while I paint. 💙 I feel that the way you destroy this painting feels like how we are all only temporary. And by feel that way, ya we shouldn't take all comments from people to heart - "not give a shit" if they are nasty. 😊

[@sandraabbott7477]

Thank you so much for posting and raising my vibration to a higher level... love it...

[@robertblackborow8474]

The truth will set you free ,many thanks for sharing !

You inspired me to start painting again after 10 years. Thank you

[@lindatagesson7658]

Thank you sooo much!! Just what I needed to hear!! :)

[@amandikaart9931]

I love that unfinished look in some areas of the painting ❤️

[@lbow5479]

I really needed to hear this today, thanks for making this video. Also I love the mix of abstraction in this painting, makes me want to try things I normally wouldn't.

[@cmj8304]

I truly enjoyed watching your creations and commentary. .. cheers

[@tannismcfarren7891]

HAHA, This was SUCH an Entertaining Video. Thank you so much!!!

[@oatmilky5019]

He Alpay Efe, I looove your videos they are very helpful for me. I think it would be very cool if you recreated a renaissance painting, like Michelangelo or something

[@RobertF-]

Really great points made here.

[@rachelpokiak7567]

I'm still learning to paint, and your videos really help when it comes to technical skills, and creative learning curve. Your artwork is so inspiring, thankyou for sharing

[@sunsanchita]

You are amazing😍 and your lessons work as therapy 💖

[@artbonita]

Great video! So very true. And I LOVE the abstractions and techniques you do.

[@neilneil7074]

I love listening to your videos like these, it really calms my mind whenever I paint. Since I always think whether or not it'll turn out good, or people will like it or anything of that sort. So thanks for these videos!

[@wonderstruck28]

hands down my favourite painting of yours! the abstractions are just divine. and as always great insight into the mind of an artist and stuff to think about when I work on my own paintings, thank you!

[@antoniaart3694]

Depends on what you want: succes over night, or beeing a true artist and not taking the short cut. And this is hard of course, expecially in our days. A good painting it's like a good wine: the older it gets, the better it becomes. Only time can be the best Judge.

[@najay6882]

Years ago I decided I wanted to have fun with a portrait I’d sketched and painted the skin blue and the hair pink. Everyone criticised it and me to the point where I trashed the painting and stopped for months. Since then, I’d obviously been back but I think way too much about what people think, so this video really helped me realise, fuck people and what they think, I wanna have that much fun again. Thank you so much.

[@tonystarkxthor1215]

Wooooaaooo...... I really like this painting....

[@jodders619]

My only metrics for enjoying my art: Did I enjoy doing it, did I achieve something close to what I set out to do and did I learn anything while doing it. My brother has sold some of his work. That's great for him. I don't want to sell my work, I just want to do it for the enjoyment of having a skill.

[@lloydrobert6182]

Hi, I found you today, and your videos are really impressive. I'm going through a few more as the day goes on. Thanks a ton for taking the trouble to make artists better - both, technically and mentally. Love always. 👍♥️

[@dianacherry1411]

Ahh yes the abstract around or even on the focal point is my favorite!! It really makes your artwork stand out. I asked you about it on Instagram and I'm glad I found this. I think it gives balance to a realistic portrait and makes it more fun and intriguing. Much love for your style and work!

[@pierreartista8211]

I love this guy ! Thank you !

[@ellasparrowhawk8861]

WHY👏DON’T👏YOU👏HAVE👏MORE👏SUBSCRIBERS!!!👏 Seriously though, you deserve so much more recognition your work is truly amazing and it inspires me so much!!

I don't have enough Click-Bait titles and Thumbnails :)

[@ellasparrowhawk8861]

Alpay Efe I think that’s a good thing, I can’t stand click bait you tubers!!

[@KB-er3ii]

So beautiful! I wish you would put the camera beside your head so that the painting is more squared in the frame of the video and not distorted as much. I really love watching you work! could you (at the beginning or end of the video) show us what your pallet looks like? what colors do you start with?

[@breely6016]

I hit subscribe the second you finished saying “not giving a shit” hell yes

[@ArtbyLysa]

This is brilliant and so is the message!!! Cheers to you🥂

[@paromitabhattacharyya3502]

Sublime!

[@samdevora108]

I’m in college for a art major and I had a very traditional painting teacher we’re if you don’t do exactly the way he wants with the paint he wants or even the way you organize your pallet, he treats it like you can’t succeed. I made a painting and he wanted me to change it all restart and said to paint over it . When I finished my self portrait he said he couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be realistic or cartoon and I could not believe how aggravating it was for not just me but everyone in the class. At the end of the semester I just said screw it he wanted me to change and I wouldn’t and so in return I got trashed on by his critique to my class mates they found great and gave me praise .Screw what others want or think you do you , if you like your painting you keep it . Learning and growing is important but if you don’t like what your doing what’s the point .

[@spencergoth1cgutz205]

I'm not sure if it's just me but I feel like he added a slight bit of asymmetry to the corner of the left eye or the left eye in general which makes it look way more balanced out and like an actual photo than trying to get it completely symmetrical

[@JBColourisation]

This is a great video! And your point is true for every creative discipline :)

[@odedonn3912]

Gorgeous as usual Alpay! You inspire me to buy a couple of rollers ;-) cheers from Tel Aviv
