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!
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!!!
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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" !!!
Gambit2531 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
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.
Roy Simmons 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
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.
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
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! 👍🏼😊
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.
Thanks for your sharing tips for painting Watercolors! We each paint differently. I love to see how some artists have the ability to create suggestions of details with very few strokes! In your Opera painting, your mind fills in the blanks where the tables and people are milling about. I try to paint daily when time allows and still keep learning. I have an arsenal of brushes to paint with, but I find that about 10 brushes are what I do almost all of my works with. I find that so many artists work with small brushes and their work gets to ''tight'' resulting in boring paintings. Try using some cheap throw away brushes some time. I believe you will find the results very surprising and fun too!
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

Alvaro got mad charisma. His personality is charming when he instructs you to paint for yourself first….❤️
Great guy... going to buy his dvd
