Since there wasn't a rap at the end of the video. Hahaha.
"Took my sketchbook on the train, to try something new, I painted the terrain and some small portraits too."
Lol!! Cool
Hi Cesar,
Really good to see such a talented artist as yourself pushing out with your comfort zone to try a new medium. Can really see the transfer of your oil painting knowledge being applied to this medium. Can really see why Sargent was so fond of watercolour as well as oils and how the two disciplines can compliment one another. I am learning so much from you. Keep the vlogs going, let’s wrap this message up;
You are riding on the train,
And the message is plain,
Being filmed by your wife,
As you’re painting from life,
Bumping along the train line
And your sketchbook is fine!
Excellent fun. Enjoyed watching
Hola Amigo Cesar Santos, yo soy de las islas FIlipinas. Yo no hablo Espanol bien. The reason why I am writing you a message is that I just wanted to share my experience, and also to thank you for your video and your philosophy that inspires me as an artist as well. As a matter of fact, I am also an Artist but I am artist comics illustrator, animator and industrial designer. My dream is in fact, to meet you in person, I am older than you Cesar, but you did inspires me with your art, your style of classical approach of painting. I also studied in Moscow Industrial Design School (Escuela Superior de Diseno Industrial named after Stroganov en Moscu, la URSS- desde 1985 hasta 1993 anos. Though I studied design, but we never paid attention too much in Human figure drawing and classical painting at the same time, until i graduated, and when I dived into a job,,i started learning myself, digged deeper search for my own style, Though I was a comics artist before I left the Philippines in September of 1985, I was not that skillful enough and to these date. I became cartoonist animator in United Arab Emirates but not too strong...
What I mean, these days, I already turned 53 last August 2018 and going to be 54 this year, I started reviving my desire to do visual arts, and certainly, as I go online searching for the masters, and then that is the reason I found you...Also I wish to share to you that I got some Cuban friends who studied with me in Stroganov Art School in Moscow, Russia, his name is Lizardo Ochoa, for what I remember he did monumental painting,, Nidia Fernandez, Nora Fuentes and Gabriel who did INterior Design forgot his apellido. We in fact, all speak fluently in Russian. Becaus enthat isour medium of communication in USSR that time. Well, its too interesting to watch your video about drawing and painting your classical approach really inspires me...and besides, Philippines is also a tropical countru like Cuba, and we both had the same destiny when AMerican ceded our country from Spain during the 1898 SPanish AMerican War...that is when the Treaty of Paris signed in 1898,,and Philippines was bought for 20 million dollars by the US from Spain...and same thing happened to Puerto Rico, Cuba and Guam in Marianas Islands in the Pacific, How I wish to meet you in person one day....Your avid fan...Your uncle form the Philippines my name is Manolito M Agustin
Good Job!
You look like you are really enjoying that train ride and the colour sketches. You are making beautiful memories of your train trip. Wish I were there too.
This video is so awesome. It’s cool to see how you handle other mediums and inspiring as always to watch you work.
He was training in gouache. Get it?
Awesome work man!
Love it! Lol!
And he ran out to plop.i did ent get et.
I did NAY get it
Your videos are so engaging. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!
Love your attitude
What a fantastic work and thank you so much for all your videos.
You are he teacher i'm waiting for.
Does anybody else find themselves starting at these videos with a dumbfounded look of just HOW?!
Cesar, I love this new style. Sketching is very popular nowadays although your paintings shouldn't be considered as sketches. I prefer this more down to earth gouache style than the oil sketchbook that is same quality as your paintings in a canvas. Thank you for producing this beautiful video and please show us more!
Awesome results considering you never used Gouache for Portraits before! This vlog actually had a bit of a "James Gurney Vibe" to it :) Makes me also even more aware of how good actually he is too!
Reminds me of my travels across country by bus, not enough room to paint as I remember though, Happy Travels!
What a great adventure and idea! I intend to do something similar but while backpack camping. Thank you for sharing your work and talent! Cheers.
This might be my favorite video of yours Cesar! You are such an inspiration! Thanks for your art and your videos. You help the rest of us believe we can speak through art too.
Awesome. I paint in watercolor, so it was exciting to watch you work in gouache! 👏
Wow, Cesar your sketchbook work is so inspiring. I love the idea of traveling by train and making art along the way.
Cesar you are brave as hell using a medium you are not familiar with on a moving train no less! Great talent and skill..... I really enjoyed this vlog. Thanks. :)
I just started painting january 2017 and i really sucks. But i love the way you figure out how the guache works. Thank you u inspire me.
What a great video! I love your energy Cesar.
cesar,me acabas de abrir los ojos,pintar mientras viajas en tren.Yo lo intente en el autobús pero hay mucho movimiento y lo aparqué.Pero tú me has dado la idea.Gracias y todos los dibujos muy bien
What ever Medium uses for an Artist still can give justice to his/her painting on their own unique way. just like you Cesar Santos all your work are awesome. 😍👍🏻
Good job 👏🏻
Soo cool
Cesar what a timely video, my wife and I are in London traveling from the US , and will be taking the train to Paris tomorrow. I’ll take my sketchbook on the train, what fun. Inspiring as always. Thank you for sharing your talent.
You never cease to amaze me.
You taught me so much!! I thank you for that.
i would like to see your landscapes work, i really love your work, for me, you are the most motivated guy in the world !
Next week!
Great video Cesar, very adventurous taking it all on the road (train) like this. Looking forward to more of this adventure. Thanks.
You are phenomenal and I love your attitude towards expressing your artistic ability. You are a no-nonsense kid just enjoying creating art. I wish I had your attitude towards expressing my artistic ability. My goodness, you should be a very famous artist enjoying life and all it has to offer you. I wish when I was younger I could have studied art, and work towards becoming an accomplished artist. Unfortunately no family support, to poor. I'm grateful for people like you who inspire people like me to try things that burn in your heart to do. I thank you for sharing your beautiful life with me and others. You make me feel good about myself, and inspire me as well to try my artistic ability in drawing and painting. Thanks again, Phil
🥇🎨👀
Me encanta como resuelve su técnica, esta bien definida y es dinámica y expresiva, genial.
Incredible artist!
It is so rare to see some one is still honest to art this way. .
Greeting to your great wife 😊
Sir. Tnks. For another demonstration. God bless you.
Great work😍❤❤❤
Thats soo cool
fantastic as always cesar! take extra credit for creating great pictures in such a difficult environment.
Hey, last year you witnessed a hurricane. This year missed it by 1 day.
Keep painting Ceasar. You rock.
You are so amazing! Unbelivable artist and such relaxed guy- a true inspiration in all directions. Tnx for these vlogs so much! :)
Really love the 1st painting in this 23 minute clip. At first it seems like it will not turn out(but I know it will because this is Cesar)due to all the bouncing on the train. It turned out really well! love the process and the colors. just the whole process. Such an inspiration!
Well done, Cesar. Stunning artwork considering you were on a train and had no firm ground to steady your brush and paper.
Wow! This is great
You are genius!
I was the one getting dizzy just watching you paint in that shaky train. :)
Awesome idea❗️😃 You’ve got me along for the ride.
Amazing!!
Aweeeeeeesome
O Cara consegue fazer seu proprio retrato, atraves do vidro do onibus...esse sim e um Mito
Amazing sir... Really inspiring...
Im so lucky to be born in the era when a legend was alive
It was neat to see you paint in a looser style. I bet those were so challenging to paint from life! Thanks for the video :D
This is a great video thank you
Cesar apart from your lively fun videos you have an amazing sense of humor. God bless.
Love the GWARCH!
Taking the trip with you! :) Loved that you took the challenge of painting on a moving train. :) Wonderful results! :) Glad to meet your wife. :)
Enjoyed this, the scenes and process. I do a lot of sketching / watercolour/gouache live.
Great vid cesar, more please .
Beautifull.. thanks! 🤙
Cesar, I started watching your videos awhile ago and just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I learn so much from your videos. You inspire me to find my own style. Keep the videos coming and thanks for all you do.
Awasome paintings man! Congrats!
Omggggggggg I've never been one of the first dozen to comment haha this is exciting. Okay. I just want to say that your a great artist, pushing your skillset beyond what you normally do is good, that's how we expand our knowledge and skill. We humans are the most amazing machines, we can adapt to anything or everything. I bet you even do sketches in your dreams. I wish I had one percent of your brain process. People think I'm talented but I am not, I'm just lazy. I do art on digital phone because it's no paper, no paint, and I just draw whenever I want. I miss painting with real paints on real canvas. I hate this world, all we have time for is bills, work and rest. God bless you and your family for bringing such amazing talent to the public. I only hope that I stop being lazy and begin uploading drawing videos too so you can enjoy as well. Your "sketch" book is not a sketch book, it's a glance at the work of a living master painter. [Puerto Rico] Eres extraordinario Censar Santos. I least I have your last name. I am Marlon Alberto Rodríguez Santos.
Great artist great work.....love u sir
Beautiful work brother. I can only hope the inspiration of art rubs off on me to draw or paint this way” 👍🏻
Cesar, As you were painting the self-portrait bright circles of light....red...yellow....blue were flashing through your face from outside the window. Did you consider dropping them into the portrait?
Have you watched Steve Huston:s gouache videos? Valentina:s portrait reminds me of his style a bit.
I have! He is great
thankyou for sharing this great video!
dude! come to Chicago we'll do the museums !
Wow nice work
Oh man! I just missed you I'm in Winston Salem North Carolina South Carolina is only 3 hours away
would be awesome to see you explore gouache more. What is your overall verdict on it? I'm using it in the same book. How does the Turner differ from say, Graham or Utrecht?
I love this! Very inspiring sir.
Hello from Brasil!
I'm obviously not doing enough art, you do more on one tran journey than I do in a month.
I like your videos
superb very nice work in car
Have you used verdaccio in any of your oil paintings? If not then why not. Ps loving the DVD on my second round watching so much info.
Hai un entusiasmò facilmente contagioso🤪
Hi to you can you please draw a picture using one ballpoint pen that has more than one color in the pen I'll would looooove to see what you can do with a mix color pen love your work way so cool
Great video Senor! I was wondering if you could make a future video on how to approach a gallery to show your work? I'm an artist living in Jacksonville, FL, and am still trying to pursue art as a career, so any help would be appreciated!! Thanks
hi Santos..crazy talent and skill bro..i am amazed how you paint very fast and without sketching ..and using a paint directly..i was wondering how do you learn it...do you start everything from drawing and became expert on it and then move to painting ? thx
Lots of drawing, lots of painting my friend.
exelente
At 19:00 I was like HUSH!
Cesar did you stop boxing because you was always on the canvas lol.
Lol. Never lost a fight!👊
So you’re saying you were putting bodies on the canvas even back then? LOL
Hi Cesar & everyone, A question: What made you choose Gouache over Acrylics? Is-it because when it's dry on the palet it can still be reactivated? Or is-it juste to avoid to ruin your clothes if's falling into you because of the train moves... anyway, thanks ALOT for your work and videos!
Gouache dries matte which I like. Acrylics feel too plasticky and watercolor doesn't have enough body. So gouache!
You make me wanna jump on a train and paint. EDIT: Wait, charlston im not from the us but aint there a massive hurricane right now or is this old footage?
That was the day before the hurricane.
Cesar Santos, All in one day amigo. Fair winds all the way from an Aussie who loves Gouche. Sure you are aware but I'm sure you're aware of Ralp Mayers Artist Handbook. That is very helpful for everyone who is learning ;p
First viewr.lov from india
thanks for the video, what made you go for gouache and not watercolour or mixed media approach?
Hi Cesar ... I think you have a great skills and I really like work ..
I have a question and hope you reply me..
I shading using "back and forth " stroke technique .. I tried to use cross hatching and cross contour lines for long time ,but I really bad at them and finding my self more comfort with the back and forth lines ..
So my question is ..should I continue to try other cross hatching and cross contour techniques ?? Or just using the simpler back and forth and angular hatching techniques ? Is it normal that an artist be better in some techniques than others ?
Yes! You do you!!
I’m guessing Rember Orellana has done that inner forearm tattoo ?
Would you ever consider doing the "DearMoon"? That is if you were picked.
also love your work
Is there a particular brand of gouache you like? I didn’t see it listed in the description.
At one point you can see the label Turner Design Gouache.
TJ Duprey thank- you
Some of your strokes looks like john singer sargents strokes
que material usa?, acrilico?, acuarela?, oleo? jaja tengo esa duda gracias
First Australian
Why don't you make a vedio on handling watercolour
Hola cesar< cuando vas a expander tu mensaje en español?
Train sounds fun but I hated being cooped up, unable to smell the air, unable to stop and explore. Maybe I was too young at 22 but I don’t think that’s it. It’s maddening not romantic.
What’s the name of the song @ 14:41
Painting in a train sounds like a boatfull of motion sickness.
Cesar i hope you didn't feel nausea
I probably would in a boat or car, but the train was just perfect. Thanks
What brand of gouache?
Turner design gouache! Good!
