When painting this It didn’t cross my mind that people might not know what I’m painting so I didn’t mention it, but I think 50% of the people watching have no idea what/who I painted here 😂🥲
And then there's us millenials, whose childhood you just painted.
I thought it must be a version of Captain Hook, but I never saw that movie.
@@MssJoker1 Same lol
Mostly because well, he mentioned so at one point. LMAO
Oh I knew
I got my degree in illustration in the 1980s. The majority of our illustrations were on illustration board. During my time in college, I went to a seminar with Drew Struzan. He used illustration board as well, but he used other supports as well. He even painted on a hollow core door for Harry and the Hendersons!
@@lorenknowles1521 illustrators are build different 💪😁
I did a painting on a hollow core door. I laminated canvas to it then primed it.
I did as well and most of the time was an illustration board as well.
I like this. I wish movies posters were painted again, even for Blu-Ray covers can have art like this too.
He added acrylic plaster, everything became canvas. You define the texture with the amount of acrylic plaster. What remains below only changes the flexibility and durability. I personally think that nautical canvas and acrylic plaster makes for an immortal canvas hahaha
I was not expecting to see a painting of Captain Hook in my feed today, who while I appreciate the information about the painting surface and it's versatility, that made my day. I grew up with that movie.
The funny thing is, in every David Finch livestream where he and the guests are painting, the guests recommend watercolor paper, so, some masters are still using it XD
WOW!! the very first painting i did was Acrylic on WATERCOLOR PAPER!! Why did I ever stop? You are so freaking right!
I started painting in oil and acrylic on paper supports a little over five years ago, when I started teaching. Using paper started as a necessity to save on the weight and mass. I don't teach in one classroom, and I don't have an office, so I needed to carry my work supplies around. Boy, did I fall in love with it quickly! Even on cheap mix media paper with one slap of gesso, I love the feel of my brushes and knives going over the surface. I'll defiantly try your prep process!
Oil on watercolor paper is amazing! I use 140lb/300 GSM paper straight from a spiral bound pad, no prep and it doesn't warp or peel or shred. Though my first few layers are thin washes, more like watercolor and then gets thicker as the layers are added. I loved to draw on Bristol board
We can always count on you to bring back old gems of artisty that was used by the greats. The painting of hook looks immaculate! Just.. beautiful 🤌🏽. Loved every minute of this video.
Thanks 😊🙏
I prepare my paper in a similar manner, but I coat the front and back with a layer of PVA GLUE (Elmer's) before gessoing. I also do that to all my hardwood panels. The PVA creates a moisture barrier that not only keeps moisture out, but the oil from seeping into the surface and breaking it down. I also throw a little bit of pumice into my gesso to give it some tooth.
Hi! What's pumice and where can I find it? Your process sounds amazing I will definitely try it :D
I use two quick layers of satin spray-paint on mixed media paper (98 lbs) and it was a GAME CHANGER for this pro oil painter! If I love a painting, I use archival PVA glue to paste it onto a board to help it stay protected from the back from any water or oil paint. And the paper is cheap enough that it helps A LOT with my perfectionism - I just throw it away if I can't make it work and I'm not losing a lot of prep-time, money, etc.
The results you get are incredible. Acuarela paper is one of my favorite surfaces to paint with acrylics.
I love painting on watercolour paper for acrylic, most of the time I treat it with gesso but sometimes I just paint right on the paper. It all depends on what I plan on doing with it afterwards. If it’s just an exercise or something in my sketchbook, no gesso, if I want to sit down and paint with intention, gesso. Seeing your painting of Hook was amazing!
Its certainly easier to store your work as well, on top of the great points youve highlighted. Great content. Thanks 👏
I love your movie paintings. Every single one has been such a nostalgic watch. You're a straight beast my dude! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy 🫶
Painting knowledge and Hook? Dang, yeah!
Wow - You've just taken me back to being a 15 year old and stretching the heaviest paper I could buy over a large composite board. My mother would shout at me for making a mess as I commandeered the bathroom to prepare the paper. Good days and I still do this when I want to get back to having fun rather than trying to be 'serious' about what I doing.
After watching this, i just went and primed a page of my watercolor paper and am going to try it out and see how i like it! Thanks for the video as i always figured you had to oil paint on canvas or those boards which i absolutely hate!
Thanks for this Alpay. More power to you. Now I can just refer people to this video instead of having to argue. 😉
I've never even used oil paint before, I just find it so fascinating watching you paint and hearing your process 🥰
Paper is also my favorite painting surface, for acrylics in my case
Do you put 2 or plus layers of gesso for acrylic too ?
I used this surface years ago in college and it was one of my favorites! Recently started getting back to using it myself.
Ahhh yess, ive done priming my paper, but never got the audacity to paint on it 😢, sadly i still dont know where is life taking me, am i on journey toward something great? Or im a just looping on this infinity mess. Hope everyone get a great journey on their way ❤
I think I am about to start on this same journey. Here's to infinity...and beyond!
I love working on primed and sealed watercolor paper in both oil and acrylic. Great video and amazing painting!
Ohhhh i can watch the process the whole day i always love how to create ❤❤
I absolutely ❤ the way and style you are painting 🎨🖌️
I'm fascinated! And I adore the motive - it's a reminiscence of childhood
You're 100% right about the 'tooth' of prepared paper being fantastic for color, blending, and being perfect for both details and more abstract brush strokes. I don't think I'll ever go back to boards (too heavy at large sizes) or canvases (too much texture for details on small paintings). And the other bonuses are starting with a great sketch on actual paper (transferring my sketch being so much easier on the light table instead of having to set up something more elaborate for either canvas or board like a projector or re-drawing the sketch entirely). And being able to include actual watercolor washes or ink splashes in the under-painting before it's been prepped with satin clear-coat spray :))
For 100% archival quality cotton paper is the way to go for oils, aquarelle cellulose paper ends up roting because of the polymerisation of the oils. That said if it's well prepared with multiple layers of PVA/gesso/acrylics any paper will do the job. I like big rolls as they are much cheaper per m² than big sheets.
yesss which rolls do you get ?
as an illustrator I am constantly experimenting with paper :D 350gsm is somewhere about a sweet spot - you just need to gesso both sides really. Tape down well. if you get buckle, spray the backside with water and leave under a heavy weight. and you're right of course... its about speed and cost. currently experimenting with watercolour inks down first, then pencil crayon. clear acrylic gesso then over the top with acrylics as a kind of paint over. much faster deeper intensity but still with watercolour glazes and drips and happy accidents. i was working with just watercolour but as its all transparent its not quite as flexible.
Beautiful paintings.
I was at ComicCon in Montreal this weekend and I saw Blend Cota and immediately I tought of you!
I also speak with him about you, I tell him that his work reminds me of yours. (Since I discovered you before him 😅)
Everything you do is incredible, and I like to say with people who don't know your work : "he's like a new Bob Ross"
I love using watercolor paper for my copic marker work and for my gouache.
beautiful work man!
What a painting 🔥 also interesting to see the preparation of this, to me uncommon, surface!
Gorgeous.
Nice one. Cant wait for the next video to drop. Keep up the pace Alpay. Love the Paperboi
Thanks my friend 🙌
Awesome! Thanks Alpay!
I love your work , everything you create is just perfect to me 👌👌this one is no exception 👍👍
Dahm your mixing brush looks magical
Nice paint 🎉
Beautiful painting as alway.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
very useful video! Thanks for sharing it!!
Thanks you we proud of you all 😘🍭
Awesome, Kudos
Be careful with the spray varnish! If you paint on top of a varnish layer that is soluble in some kind of solvent that you might use later, like the solvent in a final varnish layer, you risk removing your painting during the varnishing phase. This has happened to me before when I used "retouch varnish" to "oil out" dull areas. Consider that if you have something like damar resin as the varnish you put underneath your paint, since damar resin is soluble in turpentine, if you later brush on some more varnish ( often damar resin dissolved in turpentine) to protect the painting, there is a good chance that the turpentine in the final varnish layer will reach down to the damar resin layer beneath your paint and dissolve it, and you'll watch your painting be destroyed.
Also, you should obviously only spray such products in a well-ventilated area and preferably with a good mask designed for organic solvent vapors. Over time, that stuff will increase your chances of cancer and also will harm your nervous system.
Great edition brother
Good to know! Thanks
Good form! 🔥👌
Nobody understands this 😂
@@AlpayEfe 👵🏻😂 They’re missing out!
These days I’m very into pirates. I just finished watching Black Sails on Netflix (great show btw) and I find the Golden Age of Piracy so fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.
Black sails is a 9/10 show… no idea why it’s not widely known 😄
Have you tried a special paper for oil? It is surprisingly good and nice to paint on it. No primers and preparation are required. I tried this one:
Canson Figueras Oil & Acrylic 290gsm paper pad
I've never tried oil paper, but I've used acrylic paper. At least one layer of gesso improves the experience for me.
I didn't know they painted the starwars film covers
I use the Canson XL Oil painting paper for anything except a 'serious' painting project. No need to gesso, easy to store and great texture. And affordable. I really like it.
this year i met a painter who paints on wallpapers. she buys a lightly textured roll and cuts the way she likes. wallpapers are coated with a protection layer so oil doesnt get absorbed that much.
i believe sealed paper is a very good surface and resulting work is easy to archive.
i also love gessoed or glue sealed carboard.
This was wonderful as always Alpay! Paint like that and you'll never go back lol! No other surface beats the gentle tug and velvety glide of gessoed paper. Oooooooh Hahnemuhle?! How does it compare to Arches Hot Press?
It’s not as good as Fabriano but definitely not a bad choice
@@AlpayEfe Noted, I haven't tried Fabriano either. Will give them a go. Thank you for your time!
Hook and Struzan, you are luring out all millennials like the pied Piper of Hamelin with this one 😅
Great Video again. You should try to make an old school movie poster, but for a new movie. Like the clip you showed of Star Wars 1.
@3:54 And I thought it was, 100% pure cotton Arches form oil paper pads. They are quite good as well! Let me find out! Dropped a like for you! Love the info!
Have you tried using Oil paper by Arches? It's the best of both worlds! It comes ready to go right out of the pad without having to prep the surface.
I have tons of 140lb watercolor paper as a watercolorist…. I wonder if that’s heavy enough? I personally love paper…. Can’t wait to try an oil painting on paper, I really haven’t tried it! Seeing how I just started oils ….. lol
Beautiful, you make some valid points about painting surfaces. What exactly do you use to prepare the paper? I guess the same principles go for acrylics, too.
I’ve been using gesso on watercolor paper for years. Just get thick 100% cotton paper and it is perfect. If I don’t use the paper I am using copper/bronze/brass panels.
for the impatient viewers: it’s watercolor paper with a primed surface.
Very helpful thank you
shipping canvases is so $
Thank you Sir!
Are you able to prep them in advance so you can grab and go to the last seal after drawing step? Do they keep in storage well?
Yes, absolutely
Have you tried Arches Oil paper? I love painting on it and it doesn’t need priming!
I have not
eserleriniz cok güzel, sunumunuz da dozunda espirili: "Hello Cildriinnn"! Tebrikler ve basarilar dilerim. --Yagli boya icin Suluboya kagidini not ettim:)
I just use Gamblin’s PVA size (like a clear glue) on any paper. Once it dries the oil doesn’t bleed thru. I don’t like gesso on paper, it felt so grainy painting on it.
You can prepare any canvas surface with gesso and sanding and have the same result.
I mean this with ultra respect but one of my heroes when growing up was Arnoldo Putzu who painted movie posters and Look-In magazine covers when I was growing up as a kid in the UK. I was just fascinated how from paint he created shines, shadows, textures, tones expressions and your paintings are just beautiful and remind me of his style. I just spent hours looking at his paintings. Thank you. Do you sell your paintings?
It’s available on my website 😄
@@AlpayEfe thank you

I love watercolor paper for Acrylic painting but only the cellulose stuff. I use the watercolor sketchbooks all the time. I also like Canson multimedia boards for acrylic paintings too. A little thicker so it feels more substantial. And oddly I hate using cellulose watercolor paper for watercolors. Cotton only for me now. But I don’t like cotton for acrylic. So weird. For small paintings, like 5x7, 6x6 or smaller, I like aqua boards. Just so nice. I hate canvas and canvas paper, etc. Not a fun choice for tiny paintings for me. I like my surfaces flat, a little toothsome and solid.
You would love arches huile paper. Recommend
The fella from the Painting Lab says to save money when using oils, watercolour paper primed with thinned white glue.
Works great, cost of a 9”x11” works out to about $2 instead of $7-8
Love this! Which protective spray would you recommend?
Anything that protects the drawing and isn’t reactivated by painting mediums… i used a watercolor varnish by Schmincke here
@@AlpayEfe thank you very much! I appreciate it :) your work is amazing!
🎨 🖌️🎉
Türk müsün? Süper olmuş
hi, do you stretch your watercolor paper before or not?
Nope
I recently attempted a painting on one of those canvas boards (with acrylic) and though it's ok... I did wonder if the canvas was limiting my options a bit in terms of the texture being too prevalent. I will definitely have to try watercolour paper... I'm curious as to whether taking the big step to oils might also help as I suspect acrylic just doesn't give as much "play" with blending colours etc on the canvas? Dare I say Bangarang!
Wow, I’m early af
What protective spray is that? I have one I can only do outdoors for its toxicity.
What are the consequences if somebody roll it (make a roll) by accident after the painting is finished? Will it chip, crack, fandango?
Do you also use transfer paper to transfer your sketch on canvas? Instead of drawing directly on the canvas?!!!
Alpay, what about canson's paper for oil painting? Is it any good, have you tried it?
No I haven’t, but the stuff you can buy is usually a bit underwhelming 😅
So much to say ( comment ).
can you use Winsor & Newton Oil Painting Primer on heavy water color paper
have you got this tutorial in your patreon? i love it
Love it! What kind of spray varnish did you use?
In this case it was a watercolor varnish from Schmincke
I love your vibrant style. What brand of gesso do you use as a primer?
Will this work on a scale of 2x3 feet? I’ve been requested to do a Van Gogh replica of those dimensions and am worried it might start to buckle at that size.
Yeah that’s probably a bit too large without a wood panel as backing
What do you think about illustration board with additional preparation?
I want to try this as well! One of my favorite artists Soroyama has painted on illustration board all these years! I will probably try and gesso it as I love a smooth surface and to avoid warping but will try without as well hmm
Cheap? *watercolorist raises an eye brow* ooooh not arches …. Ok yah you can get it cheaper if you not buying arches :) I like painting on bristle board with acrylics.
Compared to a wood panel 😅😂
why do you paint on Bristol board for acrylic?
@@CyberCaliber similar reasons to the watercolour paper trick in the video. I gesso it and it’s cheaper / easier to frame
@@icefireobsidian7490 thank you
He looks a lot like Bollywood Actor Akshay Kumar 😮
yeah lol
aren t fixatives supposed to be used with mask and very bad to breath?
Frazetta painted on hardboard and Fedrix canvasboard. I don't think people should overthink it. Every surface comes with a downside, but its your job as an artists find conclusions. That is what art is. One bunch of problem solving. And thats how you learn.
Can you provide a link to a website where I can purchase the paper?
It's look like Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar 😅❤
Looky Looky, you paint Hooky, lol
That's a $90 pad. So each page costs 9 dollars. I'm still considering.
I think they were using illustration board, that's what Jeff Watts said anyways
that's right! it's also paper though
Parden my ignorance, but why are the canvas boards "completely useless?"
I was wondering the same thing as I just got a bunch for my birthday to start to learn to paint. Yikes.
