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.
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
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.
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.
i hate this feeling where you;ve tried and failed so many times only to see that this "thing" isn't actually for you. But just like Alpay Efe said, the experience is all been worth 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
You are not a failure, is amazing what you can do in painting. I am a Failure , as a self taught painter that lives in Portugal. Where in Fine Arts just post-modernist painters are supported by media. Living in big expectations or ambitions, goals,working on realism is like fight against the wind. But I am not afraid, I paint and don`t quit. I`m happy in front of my easel.
Watching this video just as I was about to quit Instagram due to decreasing reach even after much efforts and better artworks than before.😢 But now, my mind is composed 😃 its a failure I've faced, its not a loss or a defeat. I'm not quitting anymore. Thank you so much for making these inspirational videos! ❤️
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
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.
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.
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 💜💜
For 6 months I was trying hard on portrait and prior to that 6 years I tried now I can draw better portraits visit here ruclips.net/user/shortsLGqioTxibJE?feature=share
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!
I prayed to God for guidance these last days and here i came across this video in youtube, which I rarely use, who answered all my dilemmas so clearly.
You don't know how much this video has helped me. I am a fine arts student and I have had the worst art block and can't even draw a line. This has greatly inspired me to just fail till I succeed. Thank you.
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.
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!
I post my "failures" on Facebook with my "successes" - beauty is in the eye of the beholder & you never know what someone else will like. I think it also helps me cope with not doing (in my view) a great job and allows me to disconnect my personal value from my work - relieving myself of that burden.
Thank You so much for your advice! I have always been afraid of failure my entire life. But I have started a journey to look at fear as a recipe that just didn't work for me and conquer fear in my own way.
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.
True - you have inspired me amazed me . I didn’t want to see anyone’s ways I wanted to find my own way and I did start to paint with different colors I have taught myself I have not watched anyone you are the first artist I have seen like I said I have had an ego all my life . 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 . Thank you again for showing your skills . ML , Eirini
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.
This is a very important and very underrated advise. And although many people may say 'yeah, duhh?!' -it is something we forget. We watch so many seemingly perfect lives, people, successes etc., that when we fail, we consider ourselves as losers.
Since I began teaching myself I've saved a lot of my failed pieces and used them as a learning tool, I take a photo of it, glue it into my journal and makes some notes on each one to remind me of where I feel I went wrong so I could look back and stand less of a chance of repeating them. When I screw up I don't see it as a failure it's just another lesson.
அருமையான கலைத்திறன் பெற்றவர் நீங்கள், இது போன்ற உத்தியை தான் நான் நீண்ட நாட்களாக எதிர்பாா்திருந்தேன், நன்றி , உங்களின் உத்தியை பின் வரும் ஓவியர்களும் பின்பற்றுவார்கள், தொடரட்டும் உங்கள் பணி, சிறப்பு, Great job. your fingers plays with colors and magical.
His approach makes painting seem easier than most other instructors. Even me as an artist for many years subscribe to your approach…it’s cleaner. Color planning ( light and shades) and the right brush sizes is the key. Great job mate.
Really feeling that lately, move to a new city for a better opportunity (finances go sideways). Started a new RUclips channel (not the one I'm commenting from). Did plein air painting... Learning curve. Painting oil on wood, didn't know about priming... So yeah, lots of failures. I keep going. Nice to hear that failure is not the end, reinforces my hope of success. Thank you
I have failed so many times.. I have given up so many times.. but I 'm happy, I had the courage to start all over again.. so, I keep trying, until I achieve success
I’ve noticed that I burn out so much faster when I try to make finished pieces every time I draw. I used to have such high expectations for myself and my art and every time it didn’t turn out the way I envisioned, I beat myself up and Art wasn’t fun anymore. Now I try to draw every day just to experiment, sketch, and have fun. I have accepted the fact that I will never be perfect at something without trying it first. The master has failed more times than the beginner has tried. I need to get in the habit of sketching just to draw not to create something worth viewing. I’ve made a sketchbook for only my eyes and I’m focusing far less on my Instagram and outside validation. I want art to be a part of me again.
Very inspirational video, I just started painting and my main focus is realism. I literally just told my wife yesterday "I knew this painting was going to challenge me and I don't fail, I don't like to fail". Right video at the right time. I love your work man keep inspiring.🙏😎
I switched positions at my teaching job. In a note from my principal telling me how impressed he was that I wasn’t afraid to try something new, he signed it with an encouragement for me “fail forward.” It’s stuck with me.
*thank youu for this video. i was crying a few minutes ago because i kept failing at drawing realistically but after watching this, it's given me hope that i can do anything, if i believe in myself. "failure is not the opposite of success, it's a part of success.* ✨
No se si vaya a leer este comentario. Pero la verdad es que esto era justo lo que me hacía falta escuchar. Justo lo que necesitaba. Gracias por este valioso video. Saludos desde Colombia.
I agree with so much even though I feel very different with others. I started painting 6 months ago, everybody are giving compliments and I am a bad self critic, I tend to love what I do. At some point this positive feedback just kills the fun. I then have to force myself to fail. To work without model, to work fast, to do technical mistake on purpose (not washing brushes etc). Making an ugly painting brings me quickly back to earth. I didn't do it ugly on purpose, but I tried to do a good painting by taking shortcuts. I learn that everything is not that easy. It feels like the end result is not the only parameter of an art piece, I think anyone could commit to become a human printer or copier but where would the value be?
Just found your channel and it has brought serenity to me . I just got accepted into this four year college for art and I’m excited but stressed on the whole money situation and my artwork ... however I feel like I just need to sit down and enjoy the process of creating, regardless if it isn’t what I wanted. Thank you 🙌🏼
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!
That does it. Thank you for making this video. I have always put off my art. Well it was just a hobby. Saying it wasn't good enough... only for other people next to me being amazed by it after I have already ditched it. It was 1st on paper and pencil. Said that physical medium was not worth it because I can ditched it. Picked up digital art a bit, my sister was amazed, telling me I could make good money...I ditched it again. Tried acrylic a bit...ditched it again... This time I think I will be more consistent. Maybe put something out there that people can actually see... maybe that is the only way that I can grow my art, or let's say the only way that I can be more consistent.
Thanks Alpay, yr right, I have always looked at F.A.I.L. as Finding Answers In Life, and yr right they are not the end, its just learning, love yr work, cheers kev
I really like how you paint. It seams like there is no fat over lean method "recepie".... and so much less to think about painting and really enjoying it !!. I love oils but feel like there is so many rules to it ...... I hope I made sense here
I've been going through such a down self-critical and everything to feel like a failure with painting. Your analogy was quite refreshing is made me stop a painting I was doing that was giving me craziness and try something new❤
This is one of the BEST videos I have heard in a long long time. So encouraging and inspirational. Yes the truth is WE WILL FAIL it is what I do Next that is so important .. Thanks again
I'm here and have subscribed because of the art collaboration you're a part of with Tenhun, and I'm not disappointed. Your painting, she's beautiful. Also, I'm still working on and seeking out that perfect, to me, pancake and I won't stop until I find it 😉
I am just starting my journey, with acrylics on canvas. It is so hard to get all the details right, ugh. I am sure I will get it eventually, just have to keep at it!! Thanks for your videos, love them.
That's exactly what happened with me I lost years because I was freaed to fail and feel like futile Until I failed and realized that mistake make me better artist now I'm so sad for the years that I wasted . So don't be like me don't wast time that can makes you better artist
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.
i have one phrase "Every new paint that anyone do, is your best one of yours paints, no matter what cross the way at the end is your best job" cuse at the end all ur knowladge is printing there!🌼🌻🌹
Stunning painting!! And great lesson. =) I agree, failure is better than doing nothing, having unfulfilled dreams and that nagging feeling if "what if". So nicely put! That is my experience. I'd love to see your camera setup someday!
Wow. The talk was great but you created a living piece of art with brushes almost like magic! First time watching following the 10hundred collab I'm so glad nerdforge referred you. New sub.
I’m not an artist. I’ve never drawn much of anything. But your way of painting really inspires me to try this out myself. This may sound weird but just the way you paint her neck? Amazing in its simplicity. Wish I had the €€ to hang this up at home. Greetings from Austria! And of course excellent advice in this video. I know plenty people who should take this to heart.
I'm so glad I found you.This video meant so much to me.Especially the Walt Disney reference,because even though I've read his biography,I didn't see it coming when you brought him up,and your "reminder" brought tears to my eyes.I do hope to become a paetron soon.Thanks.
good advice. Just love your style that smooth realism mixed with all the stylized brushstrokes. The flowers on her head reminds me of a cake frosting or something, love the look
Let's not miss something with this video. Included in with some excellent advice, is a very, very, awesome piece of art happening before our eyes! That painting is really good! And your studio assistant is adorable!
Whenever people ask me for painting tips as a new artists, I usually respond with don't be afraid to make "bad art." Of course I don't necessarily mean this literally, but don't be afraid of whatever you make, just keep creating. No matter what your going to have "bad art" (whatever that means to you) but you can learn from it and gather so much experience just from creating. And, maybe one say you'll look at that "bad art" and think at that point its actually something you really like
You got through to me with the comment "What's more frustrating than making pancakes that fail? - Not making pancakes at ALL." I finally 'get it.' You can have buckets of talent, but the person who perfects pancake making every day will surpass you. Thank you! I enjoy your channel very much!
Brilliant analogy! Never thought of it that way and it will be something I will remember as I love making pancakes lol. Your videos are very intuitive and helpful! Thank you 😊
Quite possibly the hardest lesson to learn. I have thousands of unfinished projects because I lost faith part of the way through. If you do design you get to watch someone else eventually publish the same idea. The other side of that coin is finding joy in the success of others, seeing them as compatriots rather than competition.
I have tried and failed at a lot of things. Creating art is so vulnerable. I needed to hear this. I love watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and words of wisdom and encouragement. I will do the same.
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

What surface is that you're painting on? Stretched linen?
@@1995ssc wood panel
Cool. Always wanted to try wood panel but I don't know what wood to use or how to prime. Any tips?
Did u do free online painting classes ???
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.
No art is wasted! It’s time spent learning and every piece makes you a better artist :)
Yes each experience is learning.
Perfectly said!
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!
Very true although sometimes hard to remember when you’re in the middle of a failing piece :)
😊👌🎨
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

At some point this positive feedback just kills the fun. I then have to force myself to fail. To work without model, to work fast, to do technical mistake on purpose (not washing brushes etc). Making an ugly painting brings me quickly back to earth. I didn't do it ugly on purpose, but I tried to do a good painting by taking shortcuts. I learn that everything is not that easy. It feels like the end result is not the only parameter of an art piece, I think anyone could commit to become a human printer or copier but where would the value be?
Just found your channel and it has brought serenity to me . I just got accepted into this four year college for art and I’m excited but stressed on the whole money situation and my artwork ... however I feel like I just need to sit down and enjoy the process of creating, regardless if it isn’t what I wanted. Thank you 🙌🏼
Also hopefully I can find a tutorial on the basics of painting portraits because I haven’t really dabbled in them 😅
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!
Wonderful! ☺
That does it. Thank you for making this video. I have always put off my art. Well it was just a hobby. Saying it wasn't good enough... only for other people next to me being amazed by it after I have already ditched it. It was 1st on paper and pencil. Said that physical medium was not worth it because I can ditched it. Picked up digital art a bit, my sister was amazed, telling me I could make good money...I ditched it again. Tried acrylic a bit...ditched it again...
This time I think I will be more consistent. Maybe put something out there that people can actually see... maybe that is the only way that I can grow my art, or let's say the only way that I can be more consistent.
"Or finding your perfect pancake was actually a waffle" I absolutely love this quote. ❤️😁
Thanks Alpay, yr right, I have always looked at F.A.I.L. as Finding Answers In Life, and yr right they are not the end, its just learning, love yr work, cheers kev
watching it at 4 am I did learn a lot from the video. It inspires me to create and not be afraid of failure. It motivated me to continue painting.ay
Just LOVE your exciting skin tones. Your colors are so fresh and vibrant. My current goal. 🧡
I really like how you paint. It seams like there is no fat over lean method "recepie".... and so much less to think about painting and really enjoying it !!. I love oils but feel like there is so many rules to it ...... I hope I made sense here
I've been going through such a down self-critical and everything to feel like a failure with painting. Your analogy was quite refreshing is made me stop a painting I was doing that was giving me craziness and try something new❤
The beat you used in the end of the video is amazing
This is one of the BEST videos I have heard in a long long time. So encouraging and inspirational. Yes the truth is WE WILL FAIL it is what I do Next that is so important .. Thanks again
Beautiful portrait! The flowers look AMAZING!!!
EXCELLENT ADVICE!!
I love how ur not full of yourself and you even reply to comments unlike most famous youtubers
I'm here and have subscribed because of the art collaboration you're a part of with Tenhun, and I'm not disappointed. Your painting, she's beautiful. Also, I'm still working on and seeking out that perfect, to me, pancake and I won't stop until I find it 😉
it might be a waffle ;)
@@AlpayEfe it may be ☺ but seeking is half the fun.
I am just starting my journey, with acrylics on canvas. It is so hard to get all the details right, ugh. I am sure I will get it eventually, just have to keep at it!! Thanks for your videos, love them.
That's exactly what happened with me I lost years because I was freaed to fail and feel like futile Until I failed and realized that mistake make me better artist now I'm so sad for the years that I wasted . So don't be like me don't wast time that can makes you better artist
I could listen to you give advice all day
Man you're the king for talking about failure this way!🎉
I love your advice, completely agree! But what really sealed the deal for me was your beautiful pupper at the end, subscribed! XD
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.
i have one phrase "Every new paint that anyone do, is your best one of yours paints, no matter what cross the way at the end is your best job" cuse at the end all ur knowladge is printing there!🌼🌻🌹
Stunning painting!! And great lesson. =) I agree, failure is better than doing nothing, having unfulfilled dreams and that nagging feeling if "what if". So nicely put! That is my experience. I'd love to see your camera setup someday!
Wow. The talk was great but you created a living piece of art with brushes almost like magic! First time watching following the 10hundred collab I'm so glad nerdforge referred you. New sub.
Thank you for making us to understand the failure is the start for success.💛
Powerful woman! Great painting and calming voice. Thanks for your hard work.
I went here to check the art, but end up like i went on a counselling in life. It feels like it's a personal session. Thanks for this great talk Alpay
The best advice I've ever listened about art...it's a time I feel paralised and I don't paint ..I feel sad about it. Thanks a lot🎨🖌️🙏
I’m not an artist. I’ve never drawn much of anything. But your way of painting really inspires me to try this out myself. This may sound weird but just the way you paint her neck? Amazing in its simplicity. Wish I had the €€ to hang this up at home. Greetings from Austria!
And of course excellent advice in this video. I know plenty people who should take this to heart.
I'm so glad I found you.This video meant so much to me.Especially the Walt Disney reference,because even though I've read his biography,I didn't see it coming when you brought him up,and your "reminder" brought tears to my eyes.I do hope to become a paetron soon.Thanks.
good advice. Just love your style that smooth realism mixed with all the stylized brushstrokes. The flowers on her head reminds me of a cake frosting or something, love the look
Let's not miss something with this video. Included in with some excellent advice, is a very, very, awesome piece of art happening before our eyes! That painting is really good! And your studio assistant is adorable!
Whenever people ask me for painting tips as a new artists, I usually respond with don't be afraid to make "bad art." Of course I don't necessarily mean this literally, but don't be afraid of whatever you make, just keep creating. No matter what your going to have "bad art" (whatever that means to you) but you can learn from it and gather so much experience just from creating. And, maybe one say you'll look at that "bad art" and think at that point its actually something you really like
You got through to me with the comment "What's more frustrating than making pancakes that fail? - Not making pancakes at ALL." I finally 'get it.' You can have buckets of talent, but the person who perfects pancake making every day will surpass you. Thank you! I enjoy your channel very much!
Brilliant analogy! Never thought of it that way and it will be something I will remember as I love making pancakes lol. Your videos are very intuitive and helpful! Thank you 😊
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 ❤️
Quite possibly the hardest lesson to learn. I have thousands of unfinished projects because I lost faith part of the way through. If you do design you get to watch someone else eventually publish the same idea. The other side of that coin is finding joy in the success of others, seeing them as compatriots rather than competition.
I have tried and failed at a lot of things. Creating art is so vulnerable. I needed to hear this. I love watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and words of wisdom and encouragement. I will do the same.
Your videos are a therapy to me. Thank you for this particular video, really needed it!!
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.

You might not know but you gave me a unique kind of strength. Thank you!
Thank you kindly for sharing your experience, this is a reminder all artists need.
I really enjoy watching you paint, the paint is super smooth.
This dog at the end he's so cute!!!
Beautiful portrait... thank you. Sweet pup too!
great painting, great advice, great dog. the mistrust of blueberries is so cute
Lovely message, thank you for sharing! I needed to hear this!
As always, it’s a pleasure to watch you create art 😍
Also your assistant is too cute 😭
You just spelled out my personality towards my painting so right. I really appreciate your pieces of advice. Thank youuuu😊
I have been waiting for 20 years for my creativity to move me to do ANYTHING.
