Wow,8 years ago.Gosh I miss this show.
He has a very charismatic personality! He could be a nice actor - for sure !
i like his philosophy of theres no right or wrong way to paint, as long as you like what you are creating you are accomplishing something and just enjoy it.
I love that rebellious attitude he puts into his work. Such a great passion; that is what truly separates the masters from the students. Cheers Graeme, great show!
N still he has great control
Now this is real art. No photograph can match this.
I love the way his shirt gradually comes out of his trousers. It's all about the enjoyment of painting. Nothing else matters...
Alvaro is a wonderful charismatic artist, love the joy and passion he puts into his paintings, and transmits to the viewer. He always puts a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing!!!
A true master! The way he just has fun with the colors, it's amazing and inspiring. Every step looks like it may end in a disaster, but ends up looking amazing (:

Liron Yanconsky That's exactly what I think about this video... lol
I love how he is not afraid to put all of that color on the paper. I would be terrified to do that. His work is beautiful.
Provo vT true..I want to paint like him..absolutely fearless and freeminded
Provo vT Hi , yes he is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
cause he has a very strong basic understanding of perspective and using colors , he is on a different stage, can't say anyone can do this unless one follow the same path from starting point as he did
Wonderful! What a showman; "Ladies & Gentlemen"...Truly inspiring.Thank you
wendy herubin Thanks Wendy, Graeme
He is such a character .....you certainly have entertained us Alvaro !
+marta gil-vaz Thanks Marta, yes I call him the Antonio Banderas of the Art world, very swarve indeed, Graeme
Perfect name for him:)
Phew, what can you say? Great, thank you for sharing, especially your thoughts about painting for yourself and your own pleasure:not egotism, just the joy of painting.
He is really Great Master in watercolour!!
Wow thanks for bringing us Alvero , love his free style , something to aspire to
I cannot watch Mr Castagnet without a giggle in my heart and a grin on my face, sheer mastery and what spirit, how can we not be inspired! Beautiful, genius, could happily watch all day every day!
Alvaro, your painting are so free and beautiful, I love your style:-) Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, it was truly amazing!!!
What a superstar. I learnt a lot. Thanks
Alvaro got mad charisma. His personality is charming when he instructs you to paint for yourself first….❤️
wooooo!!Amazing!
Soy de Jerez, Andalucía, tierra de grandes pintores y algunas cosas mas.
I love Álvaro I even use a lot of his techniques but my personal opinion is that before he was much more humble but humility has gradually gone away
I like this artists accent and style of painting..it is right to the point and strong !! ;-)
Ahahaa..love it....AND LADIES AND GENTLEMAN !
Какая удивительная акварель, так все живо, виртуозно, смело, по хулигански даже, в хорошем смысле слова. Просто в восторге!
I wish we still had art shops like that in America
Great video. Thanks God this old precious post pass my page. Wonderful work, long live you two guys. God bless you for share the knowledge and fun of water color painting.
His approach is of an artist that paints a lot in plein air, because there you don't have time, the sun keeps going and you have to be fast, confident and perceptive. Without a doubt he is a great master of watercolor and he gives me a lot of inspiration. Thanks for this video! It's the second great video on RUclips that I've found about Alvaro.
Thanks for your comments, we have many amazing Artists on the channel , hope you enjoy, Graeme
I love this series. These water color artist are amazing.
I will never get tired watching Alvaro's demo. Fantastic art!
Such a great show with lot of wonderful artists . Simply amazing and really appreciate the entire crew for giving us this.
Truly stunning. Your approach to watercolours is unique!!! Many thanks!!
Such a great guy. :) I wish a friend to myself like him.
You have inspired me to get back to my watercolor. Wonderful video! Thank you!
Alvaro is so much fun to watch. Love that red!
wow what a treat to have a lesson by Alvaro , love his work
Love this guy's energy and passion, very inspirational
Alvaro is star watercolorist, perfect forcefull fresh watercolors in ur street cityscapes
Wow so glad I found this video lol. I chuckled more than a few times. I'm reading his book too. Great guy.
You are such a joy to watch Alvaro!!! I can only wish if I could do 10% of that.
Wow! What a great show and what a talented character in Alvaro Castagnet. Totally addicted.
fantastic! And I'd lovr to leave some notes so when I come back here I know which D. Smith colors Alvarro uses: 2b pencil light sketch, then 6b to firm up good outline; yellow ochre thin on sky with light cerulean blue at very top in wet y. ochre, let bleed, a little alizarin crimson, magenta, ultramarine blue mixed for darkest shadows; at opera sign: lots of pure pyrrole red for awning; hansa yellow deep and yellow ochre; below awning: lots pyrrole red under awning; back to neural cool tint, adding alizarin crimson for slight warming into foreground, road adds a little burnt sienna in dark shadows, save highlights, add straight from tube for reflected light and awning: pyrrole orange for details in the crowd and focal point....that's the general colors :-)
What a wonderful artist! Thank you so much for the artist advice and great tips!
What a great guy!
Thanks Graeme for making that happen! What a great guy, so laid back, fantastic craftsman.
Such fun watching you while I'm learning. A great showman with amazing talent. Thank you from the UK
I always enjoy watching this man create. I did not need those huge subtitles interfering I can understand him perfectly.
He's adorable!!! Love his work!!! The enthusiasm I awesome Thank you so much from across the pond... absolutely Refreshing!!
He paints almost like performance artist....its not just the painting at the end of the process. Its the entire process that is so engaging. I dont know anyone that can do this.
Thanks for sharing the video of the master in action. You are doing great work. More focus on the paper and brushstrokes please. That’s where the real magic happens. :) I know it’s hard to decide where to focus on when you have a passionate painter like him talking and painting at the same time. Cheers! 👍🏼😊
Holy crap this mad artist is simply amazing!! He has inspired me to paint ja!!👌🏽👌🏽 Thanks for this video!!😜😜😂😂
Me encanta verte pintar, eres un "crack"!!! Sigue con tus colores vibrantes y con tus brochazos vivos ... Estás entre los artistas "top" que disfruto al máximo, gracias "master" !!!
I loved watching this guy!
Incredibly inspiring artist! Thank you for this video!
Having his confidence is what we lack, the rest will follow if we had it.
I so agree,I also paint for myself,great work.
So good! Thanks for sharing this glorious demo!
When the very first time watercolor caught my attention , I never knew who Joseph Z was or Alvaro , Thomas S… then I started watching these people in action.. I always thought what Alvaro is doing? But now I realise his loose and free painting style is more expressive and yes as always he starts with a disastrous approach which always ends up looking so wonderful … great respect for him and all the other artists..
too bad I am honing my skills in charcoal and pencil for now.. not much of watercolor but once I start I would love to replicate his style .. thank you for this video ..
Great painter and please put this Guy in a theater too!!
AWESOME!
A magician.
He's definitely my favorite artist, I hope I can be as good as him one day
What a genius! And a great way of telling the story and evolution! Just love it! :)
Eres fantastico Álvaro y ese carácter te hace mas grande aún!. Gracias Graeme por este maravilloso video!. Un abrazo a los dos.
Tatiana Flores Infante.
A masterclass! Thank you so much!
Lovely video! I just love Alvaro's wonderful paintings!!!
Amazing work ! This is a beautiful view of my city !
oh yes I too am in love! amazing
Thanks Alavaro! I found this to be a very instructional video because you talk about the philosophy of the artist e.g. the broadcaster as well as helping us understand why a great artist does what he does. I certainly feel inspired and ready to be more authoritative with my brush strokes.

Wow, a true magician!!
Hey Graeme, just wanted to thank you for these awesome videos!
Loved watching him paint!!! What a fantastic painting lesson, thanks so much for this!!! I'm wondering if he always uses such a small palette when he paints.
Amazing and extra-ordinary work!

Wow! enjoyed the journey, I admire your paintings Thanks!
A lot of drawings there in a cityscape ...i meant that there has thousands of lines ..to draw cars , buildings , windows , people..but how does he simplify all that things that quite amazing !!!!! and the colors r just magical !!!! so magical ...I think he uses wine in place of water !!!!
He puts the blood of virgins through a water purifier than uses that.
El maestro de la acuarela!!! Bravo!
Amazing work!
Very cool! Like this guy's style!
Amazing, you should do more of these seriously.
Just amazing! Thank you for sharing your fabulous programmes with the world! You clearly have a generous spirit and a love of art Grahame

Wonderful shop in this introduction.Your work is great.
Thank you both!.. Truly amazing is about all to be said! A master is easy to spot because he always has fun and that's the first thing you notice. He leaves so much information with you and of course a few question, but the more you observe, the more easily the puzzle comes together! Truly Amazing! Got lots of work to do! Thanks Much. Jimi
