What surface is that you're painting on? Stretched linen?

[@AlpayEfe]

@@1995ssc wood panel

[@1995ssc]

Cool. Always wanted to try wood panel but I don't know what wood to use or how to prime. Any tips?

[@hemalimandaliya5652]

Did u do free online painting classes ???

[@carissafisher7514]

You can paint the wood panel with gesso, that will prime it. You can also sand it first. I don’t know what he used but, you can use a piece of Masonite. The hardware store will usually cut it for you also. You can get it cut to the size of a pre-made frame, like 8x10, 11x14, 16x20 or buy the frame first. Acrylic and oil paintings generally don’t have glass.

[@Lavrnjaa]

No art is wasted! It’s time spent learning and every piece makes you a better artist :)

[@garywilloughby6893]

Yes each experience is learning.

[@crmfineart]

Perfectly said!

[@zosuke8992]

That is true. As a beginner artist I’ve improved with every drawing/ painting. I do think learning the fundamentals will help though with the process!

[@RusPitman]

Very true although sometimes hard to remember when you’re in the middle of a failing piece :)

[@danjones3009]

[@ginaalvarez6023]

Never ever say you’re a random artist. You are a bad ass, a brilliant human and your artwork is stunning. Thank you for yet another invaluable lesson. Xoxo

[@VAPIDISM]

Kung Alfred burnt the cakes he was making, and so we have biscuits :-)

[@ivrogne7858]

the only bad art anyone makes is one that you dont learn anything from and can bring with you to your next piece, and usually the way you learn is from failure.

[@yuckyskunk2021]

i hate quotes like this cuz theyre wrong. if ur goal is to be a career artist, n ur unanimously not good enough yet, then everything u make is a failure, according to urself. u r literally failing to meet ur own self-defined goal. unless u can seriously live the whole "itS tHe JoURneY" bullshit. then again, tons of career artists have trash art. seriously theres some 17 yr old kids that should just get punched in the face n we all know it.

Oh man every artist in the world needs this video. Every person, I think! I'm gonna save it, share it, and watch it again and again. I always get so much value from your videos it's insane. And I'm gonna tell you this, your the biggest raison I got back painting after 15 years without picking up a brush or even a pencil for that matter. It makes my day when I see a notification from your channel. Your brilliant. Thank you so much

[@AlpayEfe]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@camihkas]

thank you for remind me that its ok to fail, i have three kids, and paint in the night when they sleep, as i have little time to paint sometimes the pressure of doing something good inmediatly is overwhelming

[@crowstray]

If there was anything in life that taught me to not fear failure and try to learn from it was playing Dark Souls. This video has reminded me of the lessons I feel like I have forgotten.

[@AlpayEfe]

👌

[@lyreparadox]

A lot of video games really reinforce this idea, and really encourages you to try something different next time.

[@akkistyle05]

This made my eyes full of tears as I have been struggling with myself convincing that it’s okay to not make good drawings or paintings and it’s okay that I don’t have my own art style or genre yet. I always feel like giving up as I can’t find commissions. But this video has made me little hopeful and motivated 💜💜

[@cheefclam654]

That’s amazing..Keep it up know I’m rooting for you all the way!!

[@chroazad6519]

I agree! I am having a hard time nowadays and many of us do.. but this video made me realize so many beautiful things Thank you 🥺🌸

[@Dj-fb8bs]

Same I almost gave up on drawing ,but I didn’t. A year ago i couldn’t draw at all I was always the worst artist in the group and I decided to draw everyday and I did make a lot of progress for a year. My family says I draw good now and it feels good ,but I’m still on the level I want to be. I always fail and I’m trying to become amazing also started painting. This video gave me motivation and I’m not going to quit😃. Hope everybody tries there best!

[@mrunalizode3328]

That's bitter but so true! I really appreciate this. Failures are part of our journey and not everyone is kind enough to tell you that.

[@siwarmejbri501]

i'll forever keep failing and succeeding but no matter what i won't ever have enough ! thank you so much for sharing this with us

[@mouseich9576]

A wonderful advice. Recently I've been trying to draw and do watercolour illustrations again, but I haven't been making anything that's "good". Seeing this video and remembering the time I draw many "failed" drawings before getting any better. Now I'm more comfortable with failing and I just have to keep drawing! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@katherineklife1108]

Love this. Many times I look back at my failures as a blessing in disguise, but in the moment it’s not always fun. Love the painting and your style ❤️

[@danamelone7440]

I love the way you capture a subject's expression and attitude in your portraits!

[@bodawei425]

Alpay, your work is just fantastic. And, on the top of being a great artist, you are a true philosopher of life!

[@geraldines.6096]

Thank you for this video. I rarely write comments on videos, but you are an answer to prayer! My own frustrations and defeats had started to get me down. This video advice while realistic and sobering, was so encouraging. You are an inspiration. I wish you the very best success.

[@eisraa.8105]

I love how seamless your color transitions are. Do you have a video on how to achieve that?

[@amysbees6686]

Beautiful portrait! The flowers look AMAZING!!! EXCELLENT ADVICE!!

[@themishening]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm always so anxious to start a painting because I'm afraid of failure only to realize that when I actually sit down and start painting, the results aren't as bad as I'd imagined. Failure is necesarry and a part of life. We can't learn without it. I've also realized that painting is like problem solving. If a technique doesn't work, you try another one until you succeed.

[@lynromero8002]

Just LOVE your exciting skin tones. Your colors are so fresh and vibrant. My current goal. 🧡

[@jackiej3155]

After bumping onto yr video, I'm obsessed n hooked. I'm a little artist, sold a few pieces, only painted 1 portrait which is not my forte, but watching yr video gives me an incentive 2 try. I've been working on a 2x1 meter oil painting of a sunset 4 about 1yr n after watching yr video I went in my garage n worked on it 4 around 3hrs. Thanks Alpay yr voice, kind words n spiritual advice is to dye for.

[@cherylannebarillartist7453]

First of all, thank you. Your voice held me as the value of your words unfolded. Your style of painting is drastically different then what I usually prefer AND I find myself learning too. I agree 100% about life’s failures as really being lessons and stepping stones on our continued path! Again, thank you. ~c

[@anaelauve8070]

Im so glad I stumbled upon this video. Ive been struggling with starting a painting this lasts couple of weeks .- The more I procrastinate- the worst I feel; as u mentioned "the shackles of failure" . The thought of wasted time or materials keeps me from taking that first step.Hearing ypur advice has actually helped me adjust that mindset so thanks a lot for this bit of wisdom.

[@cosmicglitter]

This video was a great first click for your channel. It covers exactly an area of my life I am trying to work on, and had just the other day a long discussion with my psychologist about. What a wonderful way to meet an artist!

[@TiffanyBatesArt]

Im glad i watched this video today, and thanks for sharing it! The last part where you said ‘failure is just the result of a recipe that didn’t work for you’ resonated with me so much, and so much deeper than just in my art. I was never allowed to fail as a kid, and this succinctly describes the mindset I have been attempting to cultivate recently to heal. It always helps to hear someone so accomplished that I look up to express these concepts! The painting is also so beautiful 😊

Wow, another amazing painting. You never cease to fascinate me with the way you use different shades and tones to create depth and shadows/highlights without strictly using darker/lighter shades of the same color which is what I do and end up totally frustrated sometimes. Unexpected technique, beautiful and effective result. I need to try method that out.

I wanted to do it my way self taught as I have taught myself figured it out so far because I could not pay to go to school so I just practiced by taking pictures on my phone of people and flowers trees that’s how I did it so far .
