OMG😮😮😮! Your husband is Alpay!!! He’s my favorite oil painter on YouTube!! I love, love, love his work! I love your work too. Man, talk about a power couple!

Great video! In my opinion I think the most important thing is to know yourself to know how to paint. Some people can paint every detail and that's because they are meticulous in what they do they feel good to do so, others need to paint in an expressionistic way because they can't paint details and they are more emotional. Other people need to see the color and enhance it. That's why it's useless to copy other artists: styles go according to personalities and not the other way around🙂 Greetings!

Alpey is your husband?! That is wonderful!!!! 😁💖 Am artist power couple. You are two of my favorite modern day artists. I reference him often but I work with different mediums. Your mediums. So I have a habit of utilizing information from both of you, as well as other artists like Arleebean. That just made my day learning you two are together.☺️

I once read about a great advice for digital art that may fit to the beginning topic (painting every little detail) of this video:
Basically, never zoom in too much, and work too detailed on those zoomed in areas, because as soon as you zoom out and see the whole painting, you will notice that your details/the area may not fit to the whole painting anymore. It's better to focus on the whole thing most of the time, before spending too much time on the wrong things. Also, most people will NOT EVER zoom into your art and take a look at details that are smaller than ants :D

Sometime I wonder if I’ll ever stop studying and learning new art techniques and the answer is “no” because the more you learn, the more you understand that there is more to learn 🙌

[livingdeadgirl]

Wow! I never knew your husband was Alfie! I’ve followed both of you for so long 😱❤️

[whisperofcolors]

Never knew you and Alpay Efe were couples. Your both are my favorite inspirations. Love both of your artworks.❤❤

I think that the constant search for how to become better is the biggest strenth of an artist of any level! And it is so awesome that you (the artist of absolutely stunning paintings) do not stop in your progress!

This piece is gorgeous. So much to look at and focus on, not just a center area. Lovely.

Not through the video yet, but I totally agree.
I noticed something similar when I rediscovered Basquiat. Instead of imitating him, I asked myself what I like about his works. The spontaneous scribbles, the rough elements, etc. Etc.
Just like letting ideas of others rerun in my head and get my own view on it.

Your work is absolutely beautiful, it's definitely a great direction to be taking, it's resulted in an almost abstract surrealism that's totally stunning.

[jilliancrawford]

I really envy your ability to embrace abstract.
I can't help but try to achieve realism the best I can, figuring that if I can master realism to where it's easy, then going with an "easier" and "simpler" style like abstract will be effortless.
In truth though, abstract is a skill of its own and something that I need to practice at just as much as realism if I want to be on the same skill level as either or. I am aware of this and yet it's still something I forget or doubt in the middle of a painting lol. I know this is the case because I would never think to do what so many expressionistic or impressionistic or abstract painters would do and can't tell how it's done a lot of the time!
Just because I focus on realism doesn't mean I'm any good at it but I aught to also take the opportunity to be expressive too. As my watercolor teacher taught me; "photos are for capturing the image and paintings are for capturing the feelings those photos give you".
