Those inverted thumbs are as silent as the wind. If anything, computer generated for the sole purpose of digital balance, and are totally unnecessary ❤️ More power and good times to You Cesar✊
Yeah,but he was born too late...3 or 5 centuries too late. He would be a classic. Now,the ’Art’ is completly different,just need relations,no technic,like Damien Hirst on nft.
they are hoping the algorythms will show them the Kardashians or Bad Bunny, Los Wachiturros o Tinelli. That is why the thumbs own, they want to watch poop
Hello Cesar I have been coming back to this video now for 2 years and every summer I go on to try your method I turned 15 last month and You are always the artist and role model that I refer to again and again thanks for everything you had to offer I got better and thank you so much I wish the best mr. Santos
Thank you Cesar. You are so inspirational. I’m just learning to draw and paint. I am 64 years old and have been studying these elements for the past year. As luck,would have it I found the classes I needed free of charge through a local community collage. While these classes are a blessing they sometimes do not give one on one time that I need. In the case of mono chromatic and drawing, I have had to learn somethings on my own. ...... Wa la, while doing research to help,with my deficiency I happened upon your youtube videos. Today’s video helped me understand the process better. Recently I did a good drawing for a class assignment. The steps ( using acrylics) were coming along nicely , until I realized I didn’t take the monochromatic far enough. Instead I , as well as my instructor , blocked in the other paints. I lost my drawing , it disappeared . I was so dismayed and lost, I couldn’t move forward on the painting. Very discouraged , I set the painting aside. I haven’t been able to touch it since. Your video has giving me hope for my painting as well as others. So, to myself I say. Slow down, watch Cesar’s video again and again if I must. I’ll get there. Blessings to you Cesar . Gabrielle from Rancho Cucamonga California.
Hello there :). I started late in life too (late forties), when you start late especially, I think it is very important to also 'play'. Play like a child, just follow your instincts with colour and different materials, experiment, draw silly things without an attachment to the outcome, AND do you your classical studies as well, just like we learn scales for music, or train as an athlete. I felt sad when I read about your being discouraged. While it is always normal to get discouraged sometimes no matter what we do, it is also a sign (imo), that we need to respond to that in a way that moves us forward. I have finished my advanced diploma in art and creativity, and now I am looking at the classical route also, to improve and help me develop, I LOVE Cesars' videos! I hope you don't mind my unsolicited option/advice :). All the very best, and keep loving art! :)
I know what you mean. I have had that happen to me as well. If you block in the color too early or too much the painting looks like a pop art painting. Me personally i like to take the monochromatic to the limit and add very little pure color and mostly diluted at first. The most colorful part of my portraits are the backgrounds.
I do hope with all my heart, that one day you will release how much you've helped and keep helping people like me, who never study art but love to paint,by shearing all this!Under any circumstances never give up on showing to the world the beautiful univers that lies inside of you.
I would imagine nobody have truly seen themselves until an artist of this caliber paints your likeness. Like hearing your voice on a recording for the first time. It capture the essence of your image.
Уважаемый Цезарь, благодарю Вас за столь подробное обучающее видео.За технику старых мастеров,за щедрость , что делитесь знаниями .Желаю Вам благополучия и творческих успехов.
The portrait you bought, the man is looking inside, within, reflective, contemplative, I think that's what attracted you to it, in your portrait the man is looking outward and or up to where his help is coming, there is still an inward awareness, although it is not as obvious, he does not have the age the other one has, as you said its not meant to be a copy, yet inspiration, yet it's essence is awe inspiring!!! Thank you for your reflection and process you've shared.............amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Great painting Cesar! I just wanted to say thank you. I was struggling to improve my painting technique, being entirely self taught, I was frustrated and often felt like giving up entirely. I got your Secrets of Portrait painting DVD. It's the single best instruction I've ever received, I feel like I have direction to improve and reach the standards that I want to achieve in painting. Sorry if this is long-winded but just wanted to sincerely say thank you Maestro. Good will and good vibes from Scotland :)
Very inspirational and now I am convinced my technique is not 'wrong' as I have been told in the past. Love your work and am learning so much thank you.
Just amazing, educational and en eye opener to the process. What a great way to practice and practice and practice. Excellent guidance. You are the best. Thanks so much for all you do. Blessings and be safe. Muchos abrazos.
Thank you for this free lesson, and although it’s a short one your tips are so valuable that will help me tremendously achieve better results and take my paintings to a higher level. If I had to pay for such lesson it would be impossible for me. So, thanks a lot again!
CESAR CESAR CESAR!!!!! Another masterpiece! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚💚🙏🏾🙏🏾💚 thank you thank you .. thank you for being such an inspiration. An incredible artist and teacher.
I eat sleep and dream off paint every day it's what makes me happy I HV just opened my own small gallery and art school for biginners,, I'm self-taught and what you do is amazing , I'll watch everything you do in 5he future,,don't ever stop ,Soo much respect and hugs ,Rz and family,, Ireland,
I always watch your paintings and think this guys really good, but then I watch your videos, see the little details here and there and think damn, this guy is on another league.
Hola César. Soy un profundo amante admirador de tu carrera y trabajo. Como artista principiante y autodidacta en realismo clásico que soy, es un placer poder ver tus vídeos y aprender de ellos. Espero un día tomar clases bajo tu instrucción. Saludos desde ciudad de México.
This is the best art channel on youtube. You can see Cesar's passion to art on his eyes and his way of speaking and that is extremely inspiring. Also the way he explains stuff is top notch too! Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us, Cesar! Muchas gracias, hermano! Saludos desde México!
No hay nada mejor que ver un vídeo de Cesar Santos antes de continuar con el retrato de mi hermana. Así encuentro mas inspiración para terminar la pintura!, gracias por estos vídeos Cesar... saludos desde Venezuela!
Cesar i will write in Portuguese: Este foi um vídeo em que pude ter total compreensão do seu processo de trabalho. Muito obrigado por isso. Eu não vejo a hora de poder adquirir uma de suas aulas. Muito obrigado e que Deus continue lhe abençoando. Muito obrigado por seu trabalho! Saudações do Brasil.
In some videos you learn someting really usefull. In this one I learned about the importance of values and preparation when dealing with old school classical paintiing, and in a very straight forward way too. Thanks.
Je viens de decouvrir votre travail 👍🏻👍🏻. Cest tres interressant de voir l'ensemble du processus du 1er trait de crayon au dernier coup de pinceau. C'est MAGIQUE....bravo 👏👏
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! 400 years ago, we all have had to go to italy to learn from such a Master! #futureIsNow #nowIsFuturenaissance
This is the first time I heard about the gesso technique you applied to your paintings. I like that idea. I will start practicing that technique in my paintings. Thank you so much!
3:43 as I pause it here I can see the great bridgman technique Santos spoke about , this 3/4 draft of the head shows his mastery of those skills which I think is a great foundation for painting classical realism .
Hoooo....buenísimo vídeo. De gran impacto en los artistas del realismo contemporáneo, gracias por su esfuerzo en cada demo Sr. Santos, en Lima lo admiramos y seguimos.
Gracias césar desde España!! Hice bellas artes pero no aprendí nada en pintura... Sólo teoría conceptual Contigo estoy aprendiendo mucho! Gracias por divulgar arte y belleza, y que Dios te bendiga! 🤗
Wow! Owning that piece! Then re-painting it & doing another piece inspired by it, all so beautifully, with such ease! I know you’ve had a lot of schooling & have been painting for a long time, but still I’m surprised at your ability to create these amazing pieces !!!!!!! I’ve been a professional artist for some time, but not schooled. Self taught & not very painterly. I’m definitely going to watch & learn Caesar, so I can apply this to my new work, the pieces I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t have the skill... yet!
Hola Cesar! Tengo una duda respecto a la segunda mano que le diste a la copia en tu cuaderno ¿ocupas el blanco? O aplicaste los colores directo del tubo?
I totally wonder too, the masters of the past and how they interpret it, now we have photo to make a study on the image, and have access to using technology to modify the tones to create the final piece.. bu they didn't have that in those times... also, their light inside their buildings when painting was dim and low, allowing the colour to become more observant in the artist... sometimes for me too much light on the subject blanks out the real tone quality of..for example...skin... I love Constable, and Turner.... simple brush marks can accentuate something when standing back so much... its incredible... blessings Master Santos... one love
Thank you Cesar. A great inspiration and definitely a great way to practice. I truly appreciate you. I will be watching your videos and I’m sure you have more tips. Great job. Blessings.
Nice demo Cesar. Question: Do you take measurements when drawing a head or do you just "eye ball it" as they say? It looks here like you're using the Andrew Loomis method for drawing a head.
I enjoy your videos very much Cesar. Working on my first oil portriat video . Maybe you will stumble on to it sometime. I have learned much from you and others. Thanks for sharing
After the value layer, do you paint the color in glazes, letting the underpainting values come through? Or, do you use the value under painting as a guide, and apply color with thick paint that ultimately covers the underpainting, matching the colors to the values as you go?
Did you have two different models? or am I wrong on this you were making two copies? the one in near to the original, the other is about 20 years younger and reminds me of Merlin the magician both very nicely executed
Excelente ejercicio Cesar, felicidades!!! Me gustaria que dedicaras un video hablando español, creo que tendrias muchos seguidores de habla hispana , saludos!
Awesome. Caesar, do you prep linen before doing the charcoal drawing? You added clear gesso to the drawing so I'm wondering if the rest of the surface is dealt with or left raw?
You are trully amazing, not just the way you painty oh I would love to make portraits like you do, but the whole energy you bring along... I really appriciate your videos! Thank you...
Don't understand those 137 thumbs down. People without respect for Art!!! This young guy he's a true modern Master!!!
Those inverted thumbs are as silent as the wind. If anything, computer generated for the sole purpose of digital balance, and are totally unnecessary ❤️ More power and good times to You Cesar✊
Yeah,but he was born too late...3 or 5 centuries too late.
He would be a classic.

It doesn't really matter what the ignorant express... that's why they remain ignorant!

"First I saw it now I bought it then I draw it then I copy and I paint it now you know it." That cracked me up. Thank you for sharing!

Rosie Leat thank your Rosie. I don’t mind your advice at all and I thank you very much. Gabrielle
Oh that's grand then! You are welcome so you are! :)

Me personally i like to take the monochromatic to the limit and add very little pure color and mostly diluted at first. The most colorful part of my portraits are the backgrounds.
I work in Acrylic too... try and take a fine grain sandpaper to the colored area and try and work it back to where you want it...
Who would thumbs down someone sharing their knowledge, their passion - For free? Astonishing as the painting
in love with your paintings and with your energy! these videos are such a gift.
I do hope with all my heart, that one day you will release how much you've helped and keep helping people like me, who never study art but love to paint,by shearing all this!Under any circumstances never give up on showing to the world the beautiful univers that lies inside of you.
Cesar is a real artist. He a very excited artist about his work n his teaching as a fine artist
I would imagine nobody have truly seen themselves until an artist of this caliber paints your likeness. Like hearing your voice on a recording for the first time. It capture the essence of your image.
I been studying Leonardo n it is the same way he does somethings with a new n old approach!He's a great artist n my opinion.Keep teaching Santo's

Great job you do amazing work
There aren't words! In awe!
You are always such an inspiration. I watch and want to run down to my little area and start something. Thank you.
Yo muy feliz de haber encontrado tu Canal.
Very nice! Have got to get me self some clear gesso. I've read that boiled milk was used in the past.
Thank you Cesar. A great inspiration and definitely a great way to practice. I truly appreciate you. I will be watching your videos and I’m sure you have more tips. Great job. Blessings.

Excellent video. I am inspired. It's hard to make a portrait on your own...I've tried it and it doesn't look realistic, but I won't give up!!!
You are the best. I adore you and your work. You have the whole package, man.
I enjoy your videos very much Cesar. Working on my first oil portriat video . Maybe you will stumble on to it sometime. I have learned much from you and others. Thanks for sharing
