I have Frida Kahlo's eyes integrated into the tattoo on my arm because she so inspires me both artistically and with the grit and bravery needed to be so strong through her chronic illnesses and pain. "At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can."

this has got to be one of the best portraits of frida i´ve seen (beside her own of course). the way you captured so much life and vibrancy in her eyes, something i still struggle with, not to mention the variety of undertones that really make this painting come alive.

You have such a wonderful way of explaining things and I love your soothing voice. I am an artist living with depression and chronic illness and Frida is my idol. ❤️

@bozmundarts2614 2 жыл бұрын

this is definitely one of your most gorgeous portraits perhaps ironically, the way you've painted this portrait is so energetic and envigorating.. (if they're not nearly the same) i love it so much!

@questgivercyradis8462 2 жыл бұрын

I love how you got a whole rainbow's worth of color so naturally into her skin. And a beautiful discussion on imperfection! I really should work on allowing myself that, but I futz... forever. Since I'm a (amateur) miniature painter, I got a giggle when you said this is a small canvas! If I paint a figure as large as my hand I consider it large and tons of working space. We are all used to different scales, yeah?

Frida Kahlo is my hero because I have fractured my back a few times and live with chronic pain and she was so strong. She managed to live her life to the full despite being crippled, and it seems she managed to not feel hopeless and helpless for most of her life which is something I have felt since my second injury. There is a difference between pain and suffering. Pain can be pain and not suffering or it can cause suffering, and I think that despite most of her physical pain, she didn't suffer as much as I do, though Rivera made her suffer tremendously. I've always wanted to have a painting of hers. The broken columnnis my favorite because I identify with it so much, but I adore this portrait you did. She looks so alive, triumphant, and almost defiant of the pain. I wish I had money because I would offer to buy this because Its the best one I've ever seen. You should make it into a paint by number so the rest of us who can't paint well can have something like it. :)

This was a fabulous video Alpay. I think you captured Frida perfectly and I loved your process. Talking of your process and imperfections, everything you said was interesting and made so much sense to me although I don't paint in oils, I am teaching myself watercolour and acrylic painting but I am sure the same could be applied to those mediums to. I just glanced at your subscriber tally and can't for the life o me think why you aren't over the 100k mark.
