I love how you make complex theories easy to understand. I bought your portrait painting video and I love it. Afterwards I found your TH-cam channel and it feels like bonus material. If anyone out there is contemplating buying his painting video and is scared by the price. Do it! You will not be disappointed. He explains painting portraits in the same easy to understand way as all of these TH-cam videos. Cesar I love your TH-cam channel. I am so glad I bought your painting video, I have learned so much. Keep it up please.
Cesar, maestro, this is brilliant - even more so than your other usual super brilliant vlogs. Please let's keep trying to make the modern Realists conceive of their ideas visually, rather than (mistakenly) thinking that the simple Narrative statement is enough. Paintings are made of coloured shapes (coloured shapes are their basic vocabulary), and today's Realists have to realise that their job is to manipulate, group and design these shapes into a pattern that pushes the Narrative into the viewer's consciousness. This is called Pictorial Composition and is only taught, these days, at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. Bravo, caro mio!! Sei un grande davvero!
Michael John Angel Maestro!!! Thank you! And respect!! It's true most of this information I leared while studying with you. See you soon... in May. GO ANGEL ACADEMY
Thanks for confirming I have been on the right track as I continue on my journey of understanding how to approach my own painting. I only disovered the existence of the Angel School in Florence today. I failed to be accepted as a student at Glasgow School of Art back in the 1970s, but I'm glad now I was rejected as I suspect my love of classical Art would have been crushed by the school. I had assumed , in my naivety, that access to that school would have trained me in the methods of the Old Masters.
I am a disabled artist that never had the opportunity to go to school thank you for you great explanations and examples. Your explanations and historical examples make incorporating these importance artistic values into our painting practice- practical and possible. Thank you for your series it is well crafted indeed.
Listening to you talk about art is incredibly inspiring. You really need to do a book for artists on how to look at art and the ask the important questions one should be considering when viewing a piece. In this video you are giving me questions I might never have thought to ask about a piece.
david bryan I agree. I also think there is a academic,theoretical way to approach looking at art. It's different, more through a learning lens... if that makes sense. Thanks for replying

What a wonderful masterclass! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time.
Extraordinario artista.!! Grande maestro!! Me gusta mucho su trabajo. Le boy a seguir viendo sus vídeos ..Le escribo en español porque sé que usted es cubano, y en su tierra hablan el castellano . Bueno, maestro le felicito.
You are so generous with the content of your free videos..I have learnt so much from just watching a few. Thank you, and wishing you continued success!
Cesar, I discovered your channel about 6 months ago and I wanna thank you for the knowledge and advice you share with us. Youre the best! :) Thank you!
Whoooha.. So much information, so much to take in, to process, to sort in my mind. *rubs temples* VERY VERY useful, so much good information and above all a sensible explanation for each period and painting. Thanks for sharing this with us!
So inspiring. It has been said so many times in other comments, but alas, this is exactly what this video has done for me. So passionate. What a great video for art history that won’t be forgotten!! Art teachers - take note!!
Thank you Cesar, I live in Europe and near great Museus those I often visite, but I have never seen so much as you do in these old paintings.I just admire them but have never learned anything from it.You has helped me to push my limitations in seeing through a true artistically way of observation.
Thank you so much for this! Your commentary is fantastic. I wish more instructors were as knowledgeable and articulate as you. It's amazing how many visual artists DON'T KNOW about the development of compositional techniques throughout history.
It is always a delight to watch your videos which are highly educational and rich with knowledge. Your works are incomparable and a story in themselves. I wish to meet you in person someday to enlighten myself in my creative pursuit. Thanks a ton for sharing this video.
Thanks for this vlog series Cesar, I find your videos very informative and inspiring. You are an excellent teacher and I am sure that your clear enthusiasm for the subject transfers to other viewers as well as to myself. Well done you.
cesar... i adore you.. to speak with such passion... to explane us so much detales... great... my armenian mom born in russia didn't understand a word.. but.. she was just enjoying listening and watching you)) all you do is great... the hardworker with deep passion to art.. i dream to buy your book and disk one day.. all the best to you.. great thanks..
Thank for posting this, all excellent points and you are an excellent teacher. I always liked the stage-like lighting in the old master paintings. The figures almost look like they are in the spotlight against the dark backgrounds.
Cesar, I did a report for Art History from the very paintings in this very museum! You did a much better job than me, I love love love your explanations of these pieces. Thank you for posting! I will share this!!
Great video. Now everyone, keep this in mind and actually go draw and paint, it's not enough watching every video and regurgitating this information to others so you look smart, so many people doing this type of things this days...
Extreme late reaction, just seeing this now and wanted to thank you for this vlog. Because feel like I have learned more in this than my last two years of art history classes together! Thanks man, you make me eager to learn again and keep practicing!
I spent may hours there at the SD Art Museum also the Timkin Museum in Balboa Park. Thanks for the memories. You need to come to Louisville, KY to the Speed Art Museum. Cheers.
Nunca habría imaginado que ver pinturas hechas de maneras arcáicas y mayormente desechadas me sería útil para un entendimiento sobre las cosas a las que apuntan las técnicas modernas. Siento que me está resultando muy útil ésta aproximación tan paulatina. Gracias por el recorrido y las explicaciones.
Awesome stuff here Cesar. I've been watching your videos all day. I thoroughly enjoy getting little bits of insight from everything. I can see the William-Adolphe Bouguereau influence now that you mentioned it. Much Love, keep sharing
This was almost a perfect summary of a the chapter „Tone and color design“ from Harold Speeds „Oil painting techniques and materials“ I was reading today. Just 10 times less dry and more fun! :) Great information!
Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts! They landed in my ears just when I needed them the most!😊 It’s been a while since I have last found something that useful and new to me about painting on the internet! And part of what should be the basics every painter should know. Funny, huh? Thank you, thank you, you’re a gem of a soul! ❤️

Mi estimado César, un gusto saludarte y escuchar tus comentarios. Esto es un verdadero salto cuántico en aprecio del arte y el trabajo práctico en este oficio. Felicitaciones!!!
Thanks Cesar! The title is very appropriate, and I don't really use color too much, but I am going to start using warm and cool gray markers next month(I am an aspiring comic book artist), so this color and line information is very useful to me! Now i'm gonna rap this comment up, now I know the lines I need to create the right illusion, how to balance light and color to create an even distribution.

anthony carlson Thank you for those words. Glad I can help! Cheers!
I agree he’s amazing at simplifying old masters techniques and classical realism
I was always taught "Straight lines are there for duty ,Curved lines are there for Beauty" Great vid as always! Thank you.

Michael John Angel narratives attached to art are BULLSHIT!
@@elsagrace3893 Two year old response, but why do you feel attaching a narrative to art is bullshit?

Art history, as told by a painter. The world very much needed to know about this perspective!
Whoooha.. So much information, so much to take in, to process, to sort in my mind. *rubs temples* VERY VERY useful, so much good information and above all a sensible explanation for each period and painting. Thanks for sharing this with us!

William A. Bouguereau is my favourite artist, i can watch his painting for ever so mesmerizing!! Good video tough!
Well articulated...truly a master having a full grasp of your craft
Awsome depiction of the progression in traditional painting .
Thank for posting this, all excellent points and you are an excellent teacher. I always liked the stage-like lighting in the old master paintings. The figures almost look like they are in the spotlight against the dark backgrounds.

😎 I can't believe it, you're in my museum! I wish they'd let me wander around in there alone. Very interesting presentation. Learned a lot.
Nunca habría imaginado que ver pinturas hechas de maneras arcáicas y mayormente desechadas me sería útil para un entendimiento sobre las cosas a las que apuntan las técnicas modernas. Siento que me está resultando muy útil ésta aproximación tan paulatina.
Gracias por el recorrido y las explicaciones.
This is so awesome. I live 10 minutes away from here and I've been quite a few times but I've never thought of the art that way
INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Your the best
Awesome stuff here Cesar. I've been watching your videos all day. I thoroughly enjoy getting little bits of insight from everything. I can see the William-Adolphe Bouguereau influence now that you mentioned it. Much Love, keep sharing
Really brilliant video Cesar. Really insightful. Your knowledge is incredible.
Bravo Cesar, you are an artist saint.
I love these talks about art theory & history. Thanks!
You are so fortunate to be able to see a Bouguereau up close and in person.
dagoelius there is one in Stockton, California of all places in the world. It is in the Haggin Museum.
Hopefully one day some his works will tour down under here in Australia. :)
This is definitely a favorite- and I love that Barefoot Bouguereau!❤️❤️❤️
You have become one of my all time favorite artists! I look forward to every video!
Very informative and well described as usual. Thanks and great job.
Your excitement, love, and dedication to arts is contagious man... 👍
Amazing Santos. To soften up my edges I use a power sander.
This was almost a perfect summary of a the chapter „Tone and color design“ from Harold Speeds „Oil painting techniques and materials“ I was reading today. Just 10 times less dry and more fun! :) Great information!
You are a wonderful teacher. So informative. thank you!
Wonderful video Cesar, and very succinct history of art. I learnt a lot from this. Thank you.

Excellent vid, your a great teacher. Thank-you 🙏

One of the best vlogs you've already done. ❤
Amazing video. You inspire me a lot with this channel. Keep this work!
Awesome video full of valuable information thank you for sharing
More like this please. You explain it so well.
Thank you so much for this art class :-) greetings from The Netherlands.
Wow man! I'm finally getting to appreciate and get a rudimentary grasp of what Cesar is saying.
Im in Love With César Santos!
Thank you Cesar another great video with great information,
This was a really amazing video - I really learned a lot. Thanks for sharing about Bouguereau! I'll have to spend some time studying his work.
Fantastic teaching. Give us more!!
this one blew my mind. I feel like I learned more in 20 minutes than ever in art school or all historical art documentaries combined.
Every artist needs to build on the foundation that came before so that we benefit.
Cesar --- Thank you for this; I found your presentation brilliant!
Simply FANTASTIC
Much respect. High quality analysis.
was doing my nails polish while listening to your video , so refreshing and calm ;D , lovely thanks for this video.
Very interesting thank you! Can you review more of Bouguereau paintings. Just great!
Yeah I'd love to see you analyze more of Bouguereau too! This was an excellent presentation, Cesar! Outstanding. Thank you so much!
Thank you Cesar!! really love the longer videos!!
great show case and break down of some top artwork
Thanks dear Cesar 💗
This video is gold, Cesar. Thank you!!
More of this! You explained it really good, pls do the same with different art styles and artists!
