- Understanding your current position is the key to success. Look for opportunities now and execute them well so that new doors can open. Before that big imaginary goal takes place, smaller real projects need to be well executed.

I had the same experience at art school. My professors were devout post-modernists, and they viewed and critiqued me as a "throw-back". Even as I explained that I thought one should possess a technical background in various mediums before you can break new ground conceptually. In retrospect, I would have been better served by seeking out an apprenticeship under a master. Fast forward eleven years later, and I support my family as an artist. Usually land one or two large public sculpture commissions a year, and quite a bit of painting...in the past seven years I have not had a single day where I did not have commissioned or sold work to execute. Its really the best profession on the planet, if one can endure the first five years of hardship that it takes to focus on your art exclusively. I would advise anyone just out of art school that you cannot opt to wait tables or have a day job, then expect to stack the hours necessary to become proficient and successful....you have to set your eyes on 10,000 hours and endure until you make it.....
Thanks for your advise, I'm still in art school, but I always love to hear the views of working artists:)
I work on art every single day and have a full time job I stay up way to late to make sufficient time for art , I want to quit my job so I can put in even more time but I have bills and rent to pay , even tho
I’m selling work and taking commissions it’s not enough to Cover all the living costs , any tips or advice?
By far the best video on this topic I have ever seen. It's completely opened my eyes to what has been missing for me Thank you!!!!!!
THIS one is your best rap for sure! "if you want to take off like a hot air balloon don't take the elevator, you got to take the stairs!" LOVE that one! Because nothing is handed to you, its ALL hard work and pure commitment. Thank you for sharing your insight and experience!
There is Something i want to say. When Kids Start in school with arts they are tought completely wrong.they do mit even learn to SEE the colours, the Beauty , Forms etc.how to Start am good picture. How to prepare the Papier, canvas and so on. It Takes too much time in the Future to learn fineart.teachers have to BE real Artists Like you are. Thank you and all the best die 2019!!!!!
Thanks for video
I definitely needed this
sooo well said and explained, thank you so much 🍀🍀.
Cesar, I have been looking all over for this advice. I really needed to hear this encouragement and hear this from an artist who has already been in my shoes. I am a Native American who has been following the old masters and learning their ways and have been combining my culture with that and have been receiving backlash and flak from both sides of these subjects. I really needed this though. Thank you.
I know onething is for shure.That wether my work becomes known or not.No matter what happens.As an artist I will continue to study and learn more skills,styles.My life will be sacrificed to create art and its ok.At the end perhaps,people will recognize and just admire some or all of my works.
I absolutely love the sun glass wearing,cigar smoking skull.....Mr.Santos some people cant be anything else but creative and imaginative. Love the vids,thanks
I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
As a self taught artist I definitely have had this experience. You do have to work hard in finding opportunities and to show, much less, sell your work.
Megustan mucho tus videos y nunca me pierdo uno 👍
Cesar Santos the master painter !! you are great
Thank you very much Cesar!!! It’s very helpful information for me and many others, I think! Many things I understand now!!!
Muchas gracias Maestro por esta clase. De nuevo una inspiración para nosotros.
Very good talk - and truly also a very inspirational pep talk in walking the stairs to prove you are a professional
That is a beauty of a painting behind you!
Cesar you explain your thoughts with your hands so good so you dont even need to talk ))
This is so very informative to me, it takes a plan to construct these relationships with the art community.
Wow I didn't know that you moved to Italy! Right now I'm studying in Florence at the public academy. I've always been in love with realism and the great old masters like you do, but unfortunately the professors are still a bit stuck with conceptual and abstract art, so I feel a bit insecure.... But your channel and your art is so inspiring to me, I want to find myself and be successful like you in the future!
All helpful information.
thank you for making thus vedio sir..each of your words is worth listening
keep going really appreciate your conviction
Wow you’re such a great inspiration, a have learned with you in this videos like this than with my professors, it would be great if you make a video talking about the art statement, I’m working on it and of course one of the first one that I read was yours, thanks for so much cesar
thank you so much for this. I always learn so much from your videos.
Yesssssss I’m the 7th like!!
Can you make a video about crosshatching
Gracias por compartir. Es información muy valiosa.
I appreciate your videos so much and they are really great learning windows into arts complexity.You have alot of knowledge and its invaluable.Picasso said that he took a lifetime to learn how to paint like a child.Van gogh sold a few paintings.Well,through it all we have to struggle,so then this unique versatile style develops.
I needed this, you need to work with what you have, I often get depressed because I’m not in an atelier and don’t have the money to get there. But I need to exhaust the resources that are present
I was the black sheep in art school too I wish I had thought about it the way you present it. I actually did research and a paper on it - Reconstructive post-modernism. ie slow moving trend back to more traditional art styles.
Cesar
Great stuff!
How many finished/sellable paintings would say an artist needs to have before going out into the community to promote them-self or sell their work?
Thanks
I am moving to Italy!
Thanks a lot.
YOU MENTIONED.... STRONG.... HEALTHY.... PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP ... can you pls make a video on this topic ?
I came for the advice, but I stayed for the rhymes.
nice t shirt!
Wondered if you could make a video on finding values in drawings, i find this one of the hardest parts, I'm always so cautious because i don't want to go too dark in areas an then ruin the work? cheers ans thank you
Ave Cesar :) Thanks for your videos, are awesome! What would you recommend for someone like me who lives in a city of Greece of 200.000 people with no galleries?? The only option for me is social media
Hallo Cesar, this Video is very honestly. Thank you for your Power! Your mission is to bring Back true fineart. What will the Future of Art will BE? How do you think.? Greetings from germany
man i really want to see a video of you with james gurney
Hola Cesar como estas compadre?Bueno queria preguntarte, que hace uno si no ha tenido instruccion professional o si uno no a ido a una escuela de arte o Universidad ? Como uno puede entrar al mundo del arte? Also , what is the best way to approach a GALLERY if all you have is a portfolio but havent been in a show before? Do you recomend entering online competitions etc? I have had professional education, ive been to art school but was only there to brush up on my skills but never got to the part of how to deal with a gallery?.
Your personality is definitely why your video is worth $200. And is $200 well spent.
hello ceser, my name is David /can you do a blog on painting a oldmaster 1400c painting eg.raphael.ta david
is that a Tintoretto or Titian behind him? because if its a copy by you Cesar.. damn. im dumbfounded either way
I am under the impression that the question was not answered ahahahaha HOW CESAR HOW?! HAHAHAHA
Cesar Santos vulgo Leonardo da Vinci
Who would dislike this? I’m so confused...
Evan Peterson There is a small number of people who can't help themselves. It's the same mentality that finds it acceptable to vandalize the world--it's easier to destroy than to create, so lazy, unimaginative folks trash something and feel as if they are somehow "participating." Don't let them discourage you or dissuade you from creating your art. If you do, you are a target of vandalism yourself. Don't be a victim.
Take a look to Freud's work (Lucian), his etchings will change your perception of volume if you watch them closely, his paintings are some stuff too.. Actually "realism art" does not exist, what's was considered "realism" on past eras, now looks like childish paintings, and so on... nothing can be exactly the same as the reality, no matter how objective, technical and methodic art becomes through the ages.
That skull😂💀
Oh well, according to this I will get recognition only after my death
Cesar, you said this because you live in US and went to Europe, but I live in Middle East and here there’s no art galleries except modern crap!
Can't win unless you're in the game. Can't get in the game unless you got game. Gotta show up and play. What kind of vitamins do you take?
I understand your point, but I disagree. Although galleries are one way to show your art to the world, I don't think it's the proper mindset to believe that displaying in galleries means you've "made it in the art world." I think a true artist doesn't care about an elusive "making it," ("making it" is a metric that's personally defined - you can choose to make appearing in a gallery part of your own metric) I think an artist is more concerned about connecting and engaging with people, no matter what channel is necessary. Whatever tool an artist can use to reach an audience and connect with their audience, the better, and galleries are only one of dozens. In fact, if you "know yourself" then you probably know your audience, and there's a decent chance that your audience doesn't spend time in galleries, but might just spend it enjoying art through other channels. You have a valid argument, but I disagree.
Joseph Soeller I agree with you. Galleries do not define the artist, nor the quality of their artistic expression. But I asked myself, What has been the best way to show Art to the people? Through a screen or in gallery spaces have been the main answers.
Cesar Santos Thanks for your response :) Keep makin' those videos brotha!
@@santocesart First of all I love your channel!
I found that a nice way to sell painting is through a local cafe in your area. A cafe is a so-called second home in a lot of modern countries. The people are sitting with their coffees and chatting, and they have all the time in the world to watch the painting and let it sink into them. That's how I find the customers who really like my painting, because there is nothing biased and pushed to them like "buy me" or "this is good because... 1. 2. 3. etc."
I believe that art has only one rule, and it has been proven throughout history and that's why I love art so much:
Kill the status quo by doing something new and refreshing that puts doubt on what has been the same for years.
Every time an artist has done a step that changes (mainly through styles) the art they were cherished by the public.
This time Rap was more inspirational.
visual art are dead, photografy took his place, what still stand are the cheat they call modern art, its sad, that there are less and less professional visual artists.
