      That is actually what goes into painting flesh. Its very interesting and tough to learn. You dont really use the typical "skin colors" because it all depends on the light and colors reflected on the skin

    • @liva8522
      @liva8522 3 роки тому +9

      That is very normal actually, that is how skin is usually painted ! To get skin right you need to use a lot of colors and not just a dark or light brown🥰
      Blue and green and brighter reds work really well and make the skin look alive

  • @lurklingX
    @lurklingX 3 роки тому +586

    The thing that strikes me the most is that the MOOD has completely altered. I’m not sure if it’s partially the lighter background on the new one or not. Obviously your Second painting is technically much more proficient and realistic. But what really captured me about the first one was the mood. I think the first one tells more of a story. And that’s what I look for in art. Although your second painting of the figure is beautiful. I really wonder what would happen if you did a more impressionistic and darker background on the new one. If that would bring back the gritty/sensual mood and story that I feel did not translate over. (anyway, fantastic video! Loved it!)

    • @msjennable
      @msjennable 3 роки тому +25

      I have kindly disagree. The mood was not set in the background but by the focal point itself in this painting...it conveys different and yet the same sides of the same person...more evolved..like a real human.

    • @trattogatto
      @trattogatto 3 роки тому +15

      Exactly, the first one recalls memories, for me it is the picture of a hooker outside an old fashioned nigth club, i almost hear some jazz music as background. The second one is the instagram picture of some narcissist we have in abundance nowadays. Perhaps just a bit more depth of color in the first one would pop up the lady.
      This is the same thing i find in music, there are some simple songs, but very groovy, and some other at insane level of sofistication, but forgettable.

      @lurklingX 3 роки тому +13

      I agree! I like the mood of the first one. But the technical proficiency of the figure’s rendering in the second.... Going purely on which image pulls me in more and makes me think more about what’s happening in the scene, I have to say the first one is my preference. Even though the second one is very beautiful.

    For me... I feel like... the first one is more emotional in the sense that she seems to have so many worries and struggles and that though she's trying so hard, she's caught in a quicksand. the second one feels like.. she still has worries and struggles but she learned how to deal with them and let go of things she can't control. she seems free and glowing. there's growth.

    You can see an artist comfortable and confident in their ability and skills, who has found a path with their work they enjoy, and whose results they are proud of and enjoy themselves.
    In the first painting, you can see an artist looking for those things.
    Amazing work.

    Alpay, there is definitely a maturity in your confidence of painting in comparison from the first and the second painting. Yes, as you critiqued I agree, there is more clarity and mystery in the second painting, contrast and variety (worlds apart in comparison), quite a vast difference even thought the model is the same image. Obviously the time comparison also proves your growth in artistry.
    My eyes appreciate the second painting, although, it will be interesting to see your third painting of the same image to see what else could be appreciated in addition to the talent that already withhold.

    I think the beauty of early art is, if it's a painting or music or something else, that it's bolder. I like the deep reds from the background of the old painting, and how they seep into the foreground. I think that adds depth where the newer one is lacking.

    I love your encouraging words and your art. I will be purchasing your full step by step tutorials.

    The newer effort glows with an enhanced feeling of three dimensionality. Your color tones have a cleaner appearance. The ten-year old painting is flatter and a bit muddier. Yes, indeed you have grown very much as an artist. Your confidence and experience show thru!

    I like both paintings for what they are!

    You've clearly put the hours in and you're reaping the rewards. It's that thing where people say "You've got such a talent for a painting". But it's not necessarily innate talent, just starting at the beginning and doing it again and again until you get really good. I love watching you paint, you have a really nice style and method of constructing your compositions. Also, great voiceover and editing. Keep them coming.

    The new one is so much better in all the ways you mentioned.

    Fantastic comparison and commentary! I enjoy both paintings but the second (more recent) painting is my favorite. I'd love to see the even more updated version you suggested at the end of the vid!
