It is a much easier method than the traditional process but we can't degrade the old master work and their classic great artwork, and much inspiring value able than modern art.

Even "hobby"painters can produce realy lovely paintings. Let's not be snobbish

That was exactly my thought when I heard that line. It put me off quite a bit. A hobbyist, or amateur, strives to create beautiful work as well.

One of the reasons people in the past were passionate about flowers and even fruit paintings is that there was true seasonality - you just couldn't have roses in winter for most of human history so the art stirred feelings of luxury, longing, gratitude, and more. We live in abundance that's taken for granted now; the still lives just don't hit the same way. However, they can stir something else, like a love of nature, simplicity, youth, potential, growth, etc. When that's done, it's brilliant.

Yes and an entire language existed then both in the West and (a different language) in the Far East that spoke to seasonality, rarity, commonality, but also specific values, desires, passions, virtues, etc. even the stage of the flower’s freshness-decay carried meaning (on its own and relative to the other items in the painting). As a gardener, sure, I get some of that from my own lived experience, but I guess I have to admit that, without spending all the time it would take to learn that language, I am not able to “read” the painting as it could have been when it was created. I mean I took an entire course on nothing but this when I was in university in Japan, and I def can read some Asian floral paintings, but I read them at the equivalent of something like a fourth grade level.

Love this comment. I am trying to get into flower paintings and having this tidbit will help me modernize the concept in a different way. Sort of to think of why women today love to have weekly bouquets in their homes, and flower tattoos but not paintings or photos of flowers so much. It's such a big trend for modern influencer to be seen with their bouquets but for art, they like completely different, often abstract concepts.

I personally love floral paintings, but I’m a gardener and a sucker for flowers 💐

yup. Florals are among my most favored subjects to see and paint.

Flowers are never boring to me.

Actually I have never met a flower painting that I didn’t love ❤️ I really love the old so-called dusty painting in particular my favorite is broken tulips 🌷 which you can’t find in modern times. Matter fact I like all flower paintings that’s why I actually found you because of your flowers not for your portraits. I love Quinn red I also like Quinn Crimson red

I am a design student and when I first stumbled across your art a few months ago I was happy a more traditional artist was implimenting ellements into the "old genre" of painting through meathods of design found mostly in digital art, that added a fresher/ modern look to the paintings. Not to mention your mastery use of oil paint. Keep inspiring!

Very instagram-like framing, so it adds an extra layer of modernity, is cool.

Flower painting does not need reinventing!

There's something about simplicity that's so inspirational. That even with a basic subject, looking at the building blocks, or in this case brush strokes, seeing how it's made inspires us to create.

Good but old paintings are not boring. Remember u also grew interest in art seeing those old masterpieces.

@@loati94 that’s unfortunate. There are truly some amazing paintings in history. Maybe you just haven’t found the ones that you like. Personally I really love Basquiat and Van Gogh. There’s someone at my university who takes inspiration from Caravaggio’s style and I wouldn’t be surprised if they become huge on day, love their work. Picasso Munch Bacon Pollock and Rothko are all recent geniuses. Condo is also really interesting (although he’s still alive so I don’t think he counts as an old master).

It looks beautiful! The colours are matching, it looks realistic but at the same time it doesn't have complicated details, only textures which makes the whole painting look so modern. You have definitely reached your goals!

Whenever I have an artistic block, I always come back to your videos and they never fail to cheer me up❤️🙏🏼

Flowers are my favorite to look at and paint. Thank you for this video! Love your modern flair you’ve given to the peony.

Thank you for this! Oh wow, I never realized this could even be possible. This just *really* opens up the possibility for bringing back old genres with a contemporary taste and design.

I love flowers and botanicals. I love the way you did this.

Lol I never realized that I was using modern art traits in my work until watching your insightful video;I enjoy combining realism and abstraction too! You're right, applying these principles to subjects like flowers and still lives breathes new life into a dull subject for yourself and your audience❤💯

I for one love flower paintings and I think (and hope) that they will remain a timeless subject for people to delight in forever

Funny thing is...I just finished my second flower/plant painting when this video went online 😂 Your paintings are far more amazing of course! I love your modern painting style, especially combined with more minimalist objects you paint. It's so fascinating to see the different values and structures in such simple things, it makes me so happy 🥰 Your paintings are the main reason I had to try oil painting myself! "Making every inch of the painting a work of abstract art itself" turns out to be one of my favourite quotes and life wisdoms 😊

Great video... it got me excited about doing art again :)) I think flowers are one of the classics, they will eventually come back again. Personally ever since i started gardening I noticed flowers emit some sort of superiority. There is nothing more beautiful then a fresh healthy grown flower... the colors, forms, detail, it just looks incredible, and then how its beauty fades as it wilts and then starts again as a new one grows. Its almost magical

I love traditional flower still-life oil paintings and I actually collect these. For me, they are timeless pieces. This is an interesting take though.

This makes me respect and appreciate art from the last century even more.

The MOST practical, forward-thinking intelligent talk about contemporary painting that I have heard!

This is so timely! I have been working (and reworking… and reworking) a concept rose for a very patient, but increasingly eager, recipient. Thank you for this one. Very affirming! :)

Floral paintings are by far my most sought after pieces. My most favorite to paint aswell.

I actually love flowers. They just do something to me. I love how beautiful they are 🥰

Love it! Thank you! Flowers are one of the most interesting and beautiful things to paint in my opinion! ☺️👏🏻🌹🌸

Those painting you show in the picture were also so beautiful actually i like that kind of painting than those new century you speak about💕💕

Beautiful I'd have that on my wall. I do like the old master ones though too. I love still art.

The antique version of floral paintings: simply realistic. Your version of floral paintings: more simple but more standing out, and of course more thought-provoking. But both are beautiful in their own ways.

Love it, reminds of 1950's commerical art.

I typically don't like floral paintings by itself but when it's used more background for other subjects, it's works for me. The great painting of Sargent: Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose; is one of my favorites of all time. I have done floral sketches as studies but I won't commit them to paint because like you say, it's not interesting enough. I do like your modern floral painting. I love your use of large brush strokes to give striking texture to the painting. You have a great sense of contrast with brush strokes, tone and color. Thanks for the video.

God i truly have no words for how much i love the end result, amazing job as always

I llove it!!! So besutiful and colors everything wow! 👏👏🤗

Design before accuracy...love it

I think florals will always have a special place in art!

I wish I had your judgement on what goes where, when and what covers what, I am still very interested, yes. Your paintings are incredible, especially the flowers and faces

This man is a genius.

Flowers are the best 🌻

I find floral paintings boring. But yours.. Just like you said speaks to the modern spirit. I love it!

I paint a lot of flowers, and have never felt the genre was old or dusty. I love the practice. Thank you for this video!

You won me over with your modern interpretation of it and made me interested to attempt it myself. I appreciate you creating content like this that inspires me to be a better artist. I usually draw with graphite. I don’t know if I’ll ever be as good as you, but I’m certainly going to continue to practice more with oil painting.👨🏻‍🎨

I love flower paintings much more than artists that are full of themselves.

Beautiful! And I love flowers!

watching your explanation make me want to start painting again

I love modernity !!

It is clean and so beautiful~!

Stunningly beautiful

I love Dutch Masters still life paintings.

It’s amazing you use such large brushes!!

I would loove some prints with flowers painted by you! Flower paintings are not boring at all

I love this - such clean lines, so fresh and vibrant - just beautiful, definitely modern with an energy that makes my heart sing. Wonderful

Beautiful!! Love the colors and the voice when he explains how to change the look of the flower with just a little touch of paint... Amazing!!! 👍♥️

I love painting flowers and your style is wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

Ok but the flowers u picked are so pretty 🥺

Amazingly beautiful floral painting 🌷🌺🌸💖

The whole process of your paintings are so satisfying! And the result always so surprising!!

After the invention of photography, oil painting had to find new forms of expression, solely than 'realism'. Painting is still very relevant in a post modern age, thank for demonstrating that :)

Very modern looking. 👌

I absolutely love painting flowers. Gorgeous painting!

Love this modern painting, wish I had a steady hand like you 😂

This is the method which I was exactly looking for... Creating floral stilllife in old method has got less audiance since many art prints are taking place of Painting.. But when we go for morden art style no photographs can replace the uniqueness.. that's what I felt now a days and trying to build modern art in everything.. It's time to accept the fact that the way of looking into art has got change.. Thanks for conveying it in a wonderful way 🙏😊

paintings from YOU are my thing! It seems, you could just paint anything for that matter and I would find it intersting… can‘t wait for your next video. Thanks for sharing!

I read somewhere that to be innovative, one must adhere to convention just enough to not be too ahead of one's time. Your lovely painting demonstrates that quite well.

It reminds me some flower paintings of Vladimir Tetenykin... Good work man :)

I’m a fan of all floral paintings. I like the dark moody ones. 😊 This looks great!

Wow love it so much!!... Thanks for sharing how you did it...!! Love and kisses from the Netherlands.

Love this! Flowers are one of my favorite things to paint. Your modern take is inspiring.

Love watching these videos, or just listening to them at work! Really helping me get into painting and already gotten a good amount of paintings done!

Love the smplicity yet vibrancy in each stroke. TY!

This is so inspirational 🌺 I do a lot of botanical line art but not strictly "accurate", I'm really inspired by artists like Irina Vinnick - she takes inspiration from nature but focuses on lines, form, flow, texture, design etc and weaves in other things like architecture, calligraphy, creatures, fantasy & more Her pieces are obviously very differently to these gorgeously paintings but she still has a similar approach I feel. Complexity, design, purposeful marks, texture etc are all more important than "realistic" renditions in her ink art. And to me, they feel so authentic and really capture the spirit of the subject. Her attention to detail and observational skills are so good. I also love more traditional botanical art, but paintings like these, and ink art like Vinnick's really inspire me to try something new! Amazing painting. Thank you very much for sharing your flower journey!

So minimalist but bursting with gorgeous appeal! Thank you

I would totally buy any flower painting you make. This is gorgeous! 😍

Appreciated this technique. Thanks

It’s simply beautiful. Great tips, thank you for coaching so well Alpay. God Bless🙏

I just can't get enough of your painting style!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Omg!!! Every brush touch you’ve made to the canvas has a meaning. I mean every bit of them made a change in the painting and made it perfect! I’ll try this, hope its gonna be good :)

Gorgeous, flowers are my favorite subject. Botanical refresh sounds delightful

Just bought this print, love it! ❤️ Thanks for sharing your process too!

Wow! I just love all your work. The way you use colours and shapes, and leave in the beautiful brush strokes. Incredible! 🙌🙌🙌🎨

Absolut geniales Video! Habe gestern erst deinen Kanal gefunden und kann mich kaum trennen…Wirklich etwas Besonderes inmitten der gefühlten Millionen Videos, die amateurhaft sind und/oder ständig Altbekanntes wiederholen Danke!

Wow. Great perspective. You got me thinking about my own drawbacks in art. So thank you for this painting and the tips.

your art legit NEVER fails to amaze me. just wow

I really like the perspective that you demonstrate when it comes to still life, flowers specfically. I'm really not that fond of doing still life myself but bridging the modern look and design with this subject is interesting. Good work as always!

So glad you can create you content and have sponsors that can support your work, it was time!!! Love your videos and all that you share and we can learn ✨✨

This is so inspiring! I love refreshing florals!

I love florals, this one is very attractive....loose watercolor florals are my fave, the transparency makes petals and leave glow.

Superb! Vibrant, original, modern rendering of a subject considered as 'classical' and 'boring'. And above all: what a wonderful execution ! Each brush troke, especially the ones of the multi-green leaves, is a a unique piece of art.

Beautifully painted,

This is really useful. I really appreciate videos that explain the thought process in detail because I can keep these in mind. Great video!

Thoroughly enjoyed.

This is gorgeous !!

I definitely like your modern interpretation of flower painting

I love it! So vibrant and eye catching

Wow beautiful painting👍👍🌷
