Which one would you hang on your wall? And why?
The previous one looked more appealing to me, despite of new one being vibrant and positive.
Second one
I love focusing of the main object of the painting. So I liked modern one more I guess. However, I also like the reflections of the main object around the painting like the first one. İt's hard to decide 😅
I really love the colors in the first painting, and I find the greys in the new one a bit drab (by comparison). It's not so much that the new one has anything wrong with it (it's fantastic), but that first one when I saw it really jumped out and spoke to me. The pear in the new one is just incredible though, so my answer is - the new pear in the original setting. :)
I think your own comment was spot on: the original has a timeless classic feel - hang it on the wall next to my aunt's portrait, sure why not? The second is clearly more modern, and would need to be next to modern art. The only thing that doesn't appeal about the second one is the overwhelming gray around it. It's too much "neutral", given the pear isn't a very vibrant colour. Were the pear brilliant orange or dazzling pink, the gray would be needed to relax the eyes. But the green isn't that powerful that it needs all that gray to neutralise it. So make sure you hang it next to something bright, or on a very powerfully coloured wall.
When I see the original, I see a painting of a pear. When I see the second one, I see an Alpay Efe painting.
That's it exactly
exactly:)
Bingo
The touch
To me, the old one was done by a "good student", an artist who needs approval. The second one has the maturity of someone who assumes who and what he is, despite the opinion of others. C'est superbe !
I think the opposite is true, the second one caters even more to the current common mainstream opinion of others by using the contemporary/modern style that has saturated our art world right now
first one was in my opinion.. better but 2nd was modern and simplistic
@@vcat724 That's precisely why I think second is "better" nowadays: simplicity is popular because is useful, not otherwise. It tells the same story than the first piece, but in less time.
@@vcat724 Win.
The old one could be equally modernized with the addition of another focal point - or forth dimension idea. (like the newer one is/has)
Your uninspired robotic spirit is turning off anyone and the ultimate definition of boredom.
I normally don't like paintings of fruits because they're boring, but you have the eye to turn everything so crunchy and vibrant. This is so fun to watch!
😁
Winsor & Newton Sponsorship ❤️👏❤️
Their Magenta oil paint of one of my go to tubes!
Enjoyed seeing more of your set up process.
Neither painting is "better". They are different. Style, look, feel, mood.
Your old painting I would hang in my dark library/study or near the fireplace in my local pub.
The new one would go in my modern white and grey granite kitchen or in a contemporary restaurant.
Exactly! 🙌
yes, you can like one better, but that doesn’t mean it is really better. It can be an improvement or just a different style you did.
I prefer more "classical" looking paintings in general. However, the new version is so refreshing and unique in its own way. Also, anyone could've made a generic sort of classical pear painting. The new one, however, obviously has your unique take on it and that's what makes it better. The old one is just a pear. The new one is Alpay's pear.
What a lovely comment :)
Cobalt Turquoise and Green Gold are the most glorious colors when used together. ❤
tbh I like the pear from 10 years ago more. The details of the backdrop and wood it's sitting on make the pear appear very special.
The rendering on your newer pear pops more though. I like both!
You purchased EIGHT pears?!
Now I understand the costs of commissions.
Aaannnd two bricks! 😂
I actually like both paintings. The first pear reminds me of a painting of a golden apple I saw in the Brooklyn Museum by Rembrandt Peale. Thank you!
Apple-PEALE? nice
I feel warmth from the appearance of the yellow pear painting plus it seems like a soft pear variety. I see the base of the wood giving balance to the composition. When I see your most recent painting, I see a very colorful green and crispy pear although I am not in agreement with the gray background, although I do like the addition of stem and leaf to the pear. Bravo to your personal appearance and sponsorship with Winsor & Newton.
Ich finde definitiv die neue Version besser, faszinierend wie modern man ein Stillleben gestalten kann! Respekt!
This is so amazing and it reminds me of son's drawing. I am keeping all of his art work. As a young boy he was able to draw objects dramatically. He is in heaven now. And this pear reminds me of sketch of the same fruit. God bless your heart for the art and bless your hands.
I'm happy you have your son's paintings as part of your memories of him. As you live with the pain of his loss they bring you comfort and a tangible reminder of him.
Without any doubt, there's a "pear" of techniques that you've acquired in the last 10 years that make a big difference!
The "new and improved" painting is by far my favorite! Why? Because your soul is in this one! Congratulations!
I feel like he's the second best video narrator in the world, after Werner Herzog. Amazing accent. Also you can tell when he's getting toward the end of the video without even checking the time, just going by his inflection.
😁
I like both of them for different reasons. I like the warmth, simplicity, and cleanness of the first. But the second is more edgy and expressive. So if I was looking to hang a painting of a pear, then I'd be happy with either. Nice work.
I like both. They each show that you have mastered different styles. Each one gives the viewer a different experience. You should make this a series. It’s inspiring to me as a somewhat beginner artist.
Love the second one, just gorgeous. Makes me want to look at it for a long time. First one is what I would expect from a talented student.
The old one , the yellow of pear reflects the sunshine so naturalistic and well I almost felt the heat too
Love the pear in the second painting. Brush stoke, color, and visual texture are all handled with expertise. The neutral gray background, however, is something i never allowed my students to experiment with, including true black and true white.
The old version looks like it belongs to a museum. Its beautiful yet I wouldn't hang in on my wall. So def the new one. Feels like it's not detailed as the old one but much more fresh.
and fresh fruit is always better! :D
I have so many painting I got frustrated with and set aside. I have had two years of health issues and am excited to start again. Thank you for the inspiration!!
I think they are both nice. While the latter one is unmistakably more contemporary, the 1st was also very well executed. I like them both.
I am digging the new video style! A little bit of face time, visually sharing background process and set up, all in addition to the actual painting. Well done. 👏
Awesome, thank you!
How can someone make a pear painting look THIS CLEAN!
Absolutely love your style ♥️
You absolutely asked for it - the old painting I would call it classic and in a good frame definitely on my wall - the new painting well it's unfinished - just unfinished! It is boring, it lacks idea - it looks exactly like the paintings I set aside because they bore me.
congratulations on the sponsorship
Those little elements are still the ones that I often realize are missing when I start doing a piece, I always end up having to go back and figure out what would fit right to change it up.
I appreciated that you mentioned how in time you got to the point where you can see them right away.
Second one is brilliant... so much personality. Bravo !
Loved it , comparing an old style with the modern style of the same pear was eye opening for me .I personally love both old and new styles . How ever I am completely inspired by the new contemporary colors and style . Now I am going to try the contemporary style ! !! As always loving & learn from you !!!
your music selection bring back the old memories
Wowhwo the difference! I got reminded, that it’s not (only) the subject, that’s making an painting interesting. I‘d hang up the second one. Idk why, it just speaks to me more
you are so natural... I fell in love with the voice and this is the first time I see your face... beautiful!
I think the biggest thing about what made it contemporary was the fairly bright background that's about the farthest away from classical art as could be, but style-wise the new painting has a lot more going for it for sure. Great stuff.
I like both. I don’t think the old painting is boring. I really like the colors. It would fit right into my sage green and red kitchen with black & white checkered floor. The new painting is very nice, too. It’s a fresher look with cooler colors, which would fit right into my livingroom.
Alpay has become a pro in video editing too! I love how he has improved the format of his videos! There's so much effort put into them, even more than before. I mean, look at how he set the lighting, the color grading, the zoom effects, the shots. Wow, man! Huge respect! 👏👏👏 Btw, I would hang both paintings haha The old one is good for a kitchen, the new one could be in any room, tbh. It has that Alpay-ish look that we all love and admire. 👏👏👏
Makes me Really happy that you noticed the change and effort :)
You are getting used to being infront of camera now, aren't you?
And Alpay, your art videos are great!
Slowly... still super weird though
@@AlpayEfe My cats want t😀o know who I'm talking to when I make my videos. Then do that 'looking into the distanct' thing to spook me! They think its a competition. They win!
Absolutely stunning both old and new.
I find the new one more appealing. I have painted classical style, but want to change my style. Thank you for sharing
Wow wow wow!!! The new one certainly looks way better and more vibrant!!
I like the second painting better. I find the clarity better and the pear has more interest in the shape, colors, brush strokes and texture. Also, the pear stands out as an object more. I like the way the other planes are done with abandon so there's no confusion as to where the interests is and where the eye should go. The second painting has a fresh spontaneous look but the the first painting looks labored with a black background that supposed look like dark Rembrandt like depth but fails to do so. So nice to see an artists progress in his work.
I really enjoy your personality in front of the camera! grat video
I like traditional still life paintings, which i paint as well. I think they are valued higher, then modern still lifes. Your older one was great
I love both paintings! I think that it depends on your style and decor in your house
I like how you painted the table in an old painting, and the new version is just perfect in terms of shapes, colors, dimension of the pear, and overall cohesion 🙂
Honestly, the modern one does look like something I would hang up in my wall. I like the colors that you picked. This does seem like a still life I would have done but I would have done a bit more with the background trying to bring more interest to it. The first one is very dark and seems influenced by dutch masters. Not to my tastes but it could work for others. Thanks for the video.
I would hang the new pear 🍐 painting. I prefer contemporary style, pop art... and the color palette and technique you created is really beautiful.
Wow, this is cool! Second one is more contemporary for sure. Interesting sponge technique as well.
looking handsome Alpay :)
This is exactly what I needed this morning ☺️
I love the warmth of your first painting. The style wasn't as contemporary but I loved your color choices. The new painting though is very much your current style and I love it ❤️
Most definitely the second one, I adore the "grey" I can see pink,orange,mauve,blue ..just look
I Love the new one better. The new one brings in a little abstract into it.
Thanks for sharing! New pear is fantastic
Both are beautiful. I liked more the first one. I think it is because my style, but I loved to know two different situations. It was the most important here. A different point of view of the same subject. Kudos!
Really like the new version of the pear!
Your so much fun to watch
I prefer the warm colour pallet of the first one, but the composition of the second one.
I honestly would hang either one on my wall, as they both have their aesthetic merits and I am a fan of many kinds of art. I personally would be happy to see anything you do for that reason and very much enjoy and appreciate your thoughts and philosophies on art in general. A few tips from previous videos have even helped me let go and look at things in a more positive way, making me enjoy my own art so much more.
Absolutely love seeing your face, friend!
Love your videos. Both paintings were awesome. I would love either one. I’m a classical painter who would like to put a more modern twist in my work. You are very inspiring 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I prefer the modern version, however bravo to you for the super realistic painting of the wooden table in the first painting.
Really liked both of them specially new one it's just so elegant
The new pear looks FRESH as hell. Love it! :D
I like both paintings and would happily hang both on my wall. Love the voluptuous 3 dimensionality of the pear in the modern version, love the contrast and severe composition of the old...
Love the pear in the new painting. Felt like background could have had just a little more something to it to make it more exciting
I also love green gold and cobalt teal ❤️
Like the first, love the second, it's alive. I picked the same pear 😊💚
Monthly extended videos on patreon is a great idea but please please consider showing us your color palletes as well as brush strokes :D
Exactly, That’s the one thing I’m really missing!
I like the old one more, simply because I love this kind of style and all the old paintings. But i have to say, the new one is as brilliant as the other one. Great work!
I love how your style has developed over the years. It is so unique and vibrant, contemporary yet stylish. Thank you :-) Oh, love the current painting, so much more to look at and think about.
I love both pears. The colours were gorgeous on both. Being able to paint the First one was part of your journey to being the artist you are now. At nearly 60, I am just really staring my journey with Art, one day I will be able to call myself an artist. I am trying it all, oil, acrylic and watercolour. I love colour. At my age need to get cramming in the work and growing some skills.
The pear itself is way better in the newer version, but overall I would still prefer the old painting by a lot - not because I think it is better, but my personal taste is satisfied way more looking at this nice wooden table with a pear on top of it against a dark background. Honestly the pear itself is not even the reason I prefer it. It is rather the overall impression and my emotions that come with it. The pear reflects so nicely light onto the table and the colors of the table as well as the pear are so warm, so inviting that it is very pleasing to look at. And while the dark background helps to make the main subject stand out it has varying levels of yellow in it, which not only give a nice gradient from light to dark diagonally through the painting, but also work very well with the yellow of the pear itself, whereas the new version has a rather cold grey as a background which vaguely reminds me of the sterile look of hospitals or a dental office and is therefore less calming and inviting to look at as the left one.
Again, this is just personal taste, but I really like the video and I can see why most people prefer the new version - and as I said, the pear, especially the work with light and shadow seem way better in the new version.
Definitely the 2nd one - is more vibrant (due to chosen colors), fresh and airy; I also like the simple graphic finish of the background contrasted with the 3-dimensional pear when the 1st one is more inspired in old masters paintings, a little bit too academic and too dark for me ;-) That's great opportunity of comparison - thank you for this and congrats!
my jaw is lying on the floor, great work!
Your videos keep getting better and better! Congrats on the continued rise of your career.
I would hang both in my house, but lean more towards the new painting because I have a modern industrial look. 🤙
I love these videos Alpay! It's incredible to see how your work has changed through the years. Thanks for sharing your process with us!
I love the old version (the cast shadow and colors) and I also love the new version, but am unsure why you left that bit of white to the upper left of the pear...? (Please don't say "why not?" lol). Anyway, that tiny section looks unfinished to me (and I want to "fix" it), but I love the detail, colors, contouring and light. Love your work, as always!
this dude's style is doing exactly that, leaving some messy bits in a way that "looks organic to the process and not tacked in". I personally am not a fan, but I still appreciate the content and wisdom he provides as an established artist regardless of that.
Love the painting, love the vibe, love YOUR vibe. 👏
Ich würde deine neue Komposition bevorzugen, allein schon weil du meine Lieblingsbine gewählt hast.😂
Die Farbwahl für den Hintergrund sagt mir auch viel mehr zu.😊
Zudem spricht mich die moderner Variante mehr an.😁
Damn that windsor and newton sponsorship! Amazing congrats.
Love that confidence 👍🏻
I think both paintings are great in their own sense. The older painting is exactly what you said - it looks old, like it could be 100's of years old. It has a sense of traditional, warm and comforting aspects to it. The newer one is definitely more contemporary, there's no doubt about it - it has a feel of old meets new and that is evident in the shape of the pear. It captures the modern representation of how we spent a lot of time bying perfectly shaped fruits from supermarkets but we're now in a more enviromentally concious world where we now seek out the oddly shaped fruit and veg from farmers markets because they're organic and natural. One thing I would love to see (if you haven't already) is a video on your art set up - all things you need/use to set up for an oil painting. Something like that would be extremly useful to someone like me (possibly loads more of your folowers) who haven't got a clue how to venture into the world of oil painting! Big fan of your work my friend!
Waiting for a video from yesterday as it was weekend....🙃
The video was worth it💓💓
Du steckst nicht nur viel Leidenschaft in Deine Gemälde, sondern auch echt viel Mühe und Kreativität in die neuen Videos. Ich mag die Einblicke auf die Vorbereitung, das Setup, die Material- und Farbauswahl, als auch die zahlreichen Blickwinkel während des gesamten Prozess. Aber vor allem, dass man jetzt Dich sehen kann, machen die Clips deutlich persönlicher. Hut ab! 🤓
Green gold is a must have! It's such a versatile and fun color
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for spending your time and energy creating them. I feel very inspired after watching!
great concept, great painting. thanks Alpay.
Really great! I never thought I’d hang a pear but that modern one would definitely have a home in my breakfast nook!💜🙌beautiful work, great video. Thanks!
you are a great artist Alpay.I love your style and I try to learn from your tecnic.Thanks for sharing.Basarilarinin devamini dilerim
Really good video. I haven’t ventured into oils, but your teaching style is great!
I would be thrilled to have the first, it is outstanding and has a comfortable feeling, but I would snatch and run with the new fresh one, it's exhilarating and it is the whole, pristine energy of pear, it commands the whole piece and by comparison the old one is almost apologising to have been caught on the shelf, sweet, but nowhere near a match for the sparkling supernova.
your art is really great and your videos inspired and helped me a lot
Thank you! Hope you're doing good :D
I like both in different ways. The first one because of its soft and quiet atmosphere, also because of the reflecting light in the background and on the table (beautifull chosen colours which submits harmony) and the language of the picture is clear and pure. The brush stroke of the modern one is casual and pretty cool. The look of the pear is sexy and makes me want to bite in it. Many greetins from switzerland 🇨🇭 👋
Bravo, maestro!!!!
Love the new pear, as good as the old one is it just doesn't have as much character and energy. I've binge watched all of your videos in the last 24 hours and I've just ordered some oil paints. I haven't painted for 8 years but both you and your artwork is too inspiring, thank you and looking to the next video!
i love how you've become so much more confident and show your face in every video now, i remember watching the first video you did so and you were so nervous 🤭
There’s a je nais se quoi about the second one. The original is beautiful. It’s tight, particular, sticking within the rules of the painting. The second one is relaxed, free, alive, interesting, and intriguing. The second one doesn’t have anything to prove. I like that one. 💯
I have to say Alp I love seeing this new style of video. I LOVE seeing your face! And wow the way you paint so simple and almost willy nilly looking and the effect is so sophisticated.
