I learned more in the first 10 minutes of this than the entire time I’ve been painting. I’ve only been painting a month but that’s beside the point. This man is a genius.
What a treat to be able to view this demo in such detail. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and time. Really enjoyed the banter as well as the painting. Your sense of humor shines through and makes it doubly enjoyable. Hope you have the time and inclination to do more demos at this length!
It is amazing how your painting comes together. In the beginning, the painting looks like a failure, but as I watch something really cool is created. Thank you for this demonstration, sir.
I don’t leave comments! Think I’ve only ever left two on all social media platforms but I must leave one today - I’ve watched and tried to learn from Alvaro through videos and Colour in Your Life - but until I had seen the live demo today - I just didn’t get it! I thought it was about waving your brush about on the paper and hoping for the best but Alvaro has shown it’s about using the medium as it should be used! Lots more to learn. Thank you Alvaro!
I have been watching every Video of Alvaro's demos and Im still watching and waiting almost every time from him to say the one and only " u r thinking I'm making a disaster, but at the end will become a masterpiece " and I'm laughing till the very end. GREAT Alvaro, what an ART of entertainer BRAVO. There is one more " this GUY is very enigmatic LADY" hahahhaha what a MASTER, beautiful.
A true master will always share their creative process which YOU are, thank you! I love your style, so freely and with confident. The Daniel Smith paint you’re using is from my hometown, Seattle. Glad I found you in Instagram!
Just so cool, this is what I hope to achieve one day. Thank you for telling us everything we need to know, it will put me on the path I have been seeking to change my whole life.. quit my job and pursue my passion for art.. I started looking and I have found it, all I need to see and hear to fill me with pure inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your philosophy and technical applications ❤
To see you draw and paint like this reminded me of something I thought was no longer part of me because it had been locked away for decades. Totally thought it was gone. But now the desire to be creative wants to come out and play with me again. It is so helpful to see how you invent shapes and design your drawings. And the painting process - it makes me want to try it. Thank you for posting demos.
Thank you soooooo very much for your generosity in sharing this tutorial - I have many of your videos and have been fortunate enough to attend one of your workshops and everytime I watch you paint I learn something and am grateful for the knowledge you pass on to us....
Quando guardiamo complessivamente l'opera straordinaria di questo artista ci si chiede perplessi perchè non apre una galleria d'arte a Firenze o a Roma o a Venezia ! Nessuno come lui possiede il sentimento del tono urbano, del colore, il guizzo, lo scatto, la sciabolata (come quando si stappa lo Champagne con la sciabola) ;un incredibile talento della sintesi per accidente, nella complessità urbana delle nostre disgraziate metropoli ! C'è molto da dire su questo artista a suo modo un colorista sensibilissimo (vero maestro dei grigi colorati) nel solco dell'impressionismo moderno, contemporaneo . Lui e altri ( tutti amici) inaugurano una interelazione nuova (marketing) tra artista e fruitore "ragardeur" ben al di là della consueta complicità che si installa quando l'illusione ottica della sintesi richiede all'occhio del pubblico di completare l'opera ! Avrei tantissimo da raccontare su questo artista ma purtroppo il tempo è tiranno, forse in futuro muovero per lui un autentico caposcuola un corposo cenno critico che ne celebri la grandezza. Buon lavoro grande.
Thank you from San Francisco! I am a troubled man living in troubled times, and I feel that this is why your art and vision resonate with my soul so well! I appreciate you! Peace and love and good health to you and your wife!!!
Bienvenue!!! ALVARO CASTAGNET....Merci Beaucoup. Tienes Muy Bonita Aquarella Pintura. Bonjour, I am here in New York City today, originally from California USA, but currently stationed in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. I LOVE plein AIR watercolor..... Castagnet you are Magnifico. Hope to see you soon. I saw your workshop here in Santa Barabra, California (2022).... I.hope it went well. America is tough. But it can be DONE.
Alvaro is the greatest watercolor Artist among all in this generation...I love the way he do painting of streets, restaurants,humans and architecture ❤
Wonderful demo Alvaro, your approach to the painting is unique and as you have always said: "The final results is what it matters"!!! Very inspiring!! Gracias Maestro
You are a master of watercolors and your energy radiates positively, but I think that Dusan Djukaric is currently the best and leading watercolorist in the world, what he does with watercolors is mastery of the highest level and hardly anyone will surpass him, although, with all due respect, best regards. .
Alvaro thank you for this splendid informative demo. It’s brilliant. You discussed the whole story of painting that you had in your mind, explained your plan of action, color scheme, problems you faced and how to tackle it. Brilliant. Thank you. 🙏🏻❤️
Such an amazing demo! Loved it so, so much! I loved the most how you explained all decisions and the fact that you were so flexible and free! So inspiring! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Alvaro! I love your artwork. It is superb. This demo is truly vivid, vibrant, stimulating, and inspiring with a lot of lively movement. Thank you very much for sharing it! Best Regards from Boston, -Keizo
Man, I really enjoyed your presentation! You were transparent in your thought processes and your emotions. I marveled at your proficiency and talent. Loved the work. I've been to Paris; I've worked with watercolors. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Please do more.
That was Excellent! The observations and reacting to what was painted, then observing, then adjusting -- really got to see some of your process. Fantastico!!
You are definitely one of the good ones. You make me happy i didnt give up. when i was so frustrated and thought i would never get better. i am getting better. Appreciate you for doing this.
Muchísimas gracias apreciable maestro Álvaro Castagnet, excelente demostración, totalmente genuina, auténtica como pocas demasiado artificiales con retoques que impiden ver los retos de trabajar en forma realista y honesta como lo ha compartido de manera increíble para poder explicar la acuarela con toda su belleza y tremendas dificultades que encierra en sí la técnica y desafíos, retos y sobre todo, buscando sobre la marcha increíbles soluciones artísticas... aprecio mucho y hoy he aprendido procesos de gran valor para mi propio avance como amante que soy de la acuarela por lo que soy seguidor de su hermosa trayectoria. Desde Guatemala, mi atento saludo para augurarle larga vida y más éxitos como artista y como maestro que a través de estas demostraciones comparte mucho de su increíble experiencia.
Gracias mi estimado le llamaré para que hablemos de arte.😊😊🖒🖒 pero antes le enviaré una solicitud de Facebook. Puedes encontrarme en Facebook como Jose Ramírez también en istagram como joserami9779 a lo mejor te gusta ver mis?acuarelas. Saludos paisano.
It was an honour to watch this live. Thank you for sharing your talent with the wider community and thanks also for making this available to watch again.
This demo is absolutely amazing. You just shared the whole of your watercolor painting technique and the materials you used. Thank you very much for your sharing.
Thanks Alvaro, it was so much fun and enjoyment watching your live demo! I really appreciate all your great teaching over the years and it has had a huge impact on my art.
Alvaro, thank you SO MUCH for your FREE demo. Your work is totally inspiring and extremely skilful! Masterful anticipation and timing of the paint/brush control. Stay Safe...🤞👏👏
No sufras Alvaro. Estoy seguro que para todos nosotros, lo que da valor a este video son tus pensamientos y comentarios. Gracias por tus acuarelas tan impresionistas, eres una autentica inspiración.
Il bello del acquerello è non insistere con i dettagli qui è un perfetto esempio, l'unica cosa forse non c'era bisogno le pennellate delle nuvole, Grazie sei un grande maestro.
Its probly blown his brains out trying to work out how to teach it and work out what he's actually doing more than its blown everyone's brains out trying to learn it. Its a god given gift
Bravo....thanks so much you made me laugh with the UFO ....I loved here in Australia .....appreciate your time to do a demonstration ...such a wonderful gift
Maestro Álvaro saludos, soy profesional en artes visuales pinto hace ya varios años claro no tan buena como quisiera , no me pierdo video donde este ,me encanta el dominio que tiene de la acuarela y sus charlas al transmitir todo lo que vive entorno a este mundo, quisiera lograr eso cuando dice que usted antes de pintar una obra ya la realizo en su cabeza ,esa experticia es de pocos, gracias por compartir, muchos éxitos mas.
Thank you kindly....you changed my perception of watercolour painting. Very inspiring. Love your style and I am definitely going to attempt painting again. Thank you again.
What an amazing offer….in my opinion, completely sincere. Much appreciation from Missouri. Ur work is exciting & ur passion is contagious. Thank u The best to u & urs. ✌🏻
Super démo Alvaro ! J'aimerais bien pouvoir faire des aquarelles comme la tienne, même si on la juge catastrophique dans la première partie 🤣😂 mais tu la transforme magistralement en une oeuvre d'art que l'on a envie de regarder et revoir. Ton style me plais. Un vrai plaisir, Merci.
I couldn't watch it live but thank you for letting this up, I just watched the whole thing and it's another great masterclass by Alvaro, you did very well for a self-produced stream and it will only get better. Wishing for more like this! Cheers from Brazil!
Alvaro . The genAlvaro . The genius behind the stress is understandable as you do keep the performance like the welder holds fired up the arch that melt the steel .
Cuando miramos el trabajo general de este artista, nos quedamos perplejos por qué no abre una galería de arte en Florencia, Roma o Venecia. Nadie como él posee el sentimiento del tono urbano, del color, del parpadeo, del chasquido, del sable (como cuando se descorcha el champán con un sable); ¡un talento increíble para la síntesis por accidente, en la complejidad urbana de nuestras desafortunadas metrópolis! Hay mucho que decir sobre este artista a su manera, un colorista muy sensible (verdadero maestro de los grises coloreados) en la estela del impresionismo moderno y contemporáneo. Él y otros (todos amigos) inauguran una nueva interacción (marketing) entre el artista y el usuario "ragardeur", mucho más allá de la complicidad habitual que se produce cuando la ilusión óptica de la síntesis requiere la mirada del público para completar la obra. Tendría mucho que contar sobre este artista pero lamentablemente el tiempo se acaba, quizás en el futuro un auténtico jefe de escuela mueva para él un cartel crítico con cuerpo que celebre su grandeza. Buen trabajo genial.
I love it. It’s a wonderful disaster, very creative and so funny. I love the UFO disaster! Teach us not to worry so much about mistakes and to turn it into something wonderful.
When we look at the overall work of this artist, we are perplexed why he does not open an art gallery in Florence or Rome or Venice! Nobody like him possesses the feeling of the urban tone, of color, the flicker, the snap, the saber (as when uncorking Champagne with a saber); an incredible talent for synthesis by accident, in the urban complexity of our unfortunate metropolises! There is a lot to say about this artist in the way of him a very sensitive colourist (true master of colored grays) in the wake of modern, contemporary impressionism. He and others (all friends) inaugurate a new interaction (marketing) between artist and "ragardeur" user, far beyond the usual complicity that occurs when the optical illusion of synthesis requires the eye of the public to complete the work! I would have a lot to tell about this artist but unfortunately time is running out, perhaps in the future an authentic head of the school will move for him a full-bodied critical sign that celebrates his greatness. Good job great.
The medium is all you said, plus color. I enjoyed this one for its use of a little more color, personally. Thanks for sharing your thought process, mistake corrections and all! The end result was terrific.
I consider Castagnet an excellent watercolourist. That said, I want to point out that this demo is my favorite as it is didactic and fortunately free of his usual bragging. Most of his demos are overloaded with simplistic humor. His talent as a watercolourist is undeniable, but he does not have the linguistic aptitude that he flaunts, since despite his long years in Australia his English is quite poor, not to mention other languages he pretends to speak. Considero a Castagnet un excelente acuarelista. Dicho esto quiero señalar que esta demostración es mi preferida ya que es muy didáctica y afortunadamente está exenta de su acostumbrada jactancia. La mayoría de sus demostraciones están recargadas de humor simplístico. Su talento como acuarelista es innegable, pero no tiene la aptitud lingüística de la que hace alarde, puesto que a pesar de sus largos años en Australia su inglés es bastante precario, para no mencionar otros idiomas que él pretende hablar.
Love his work! Especially the restaurant. Is that white made with opaque paint? Must be. Like the white smears/rays of light entering the windows. Cool!
I think you did a magnificiant job, considering you have to divide your attention, I get the idea and the flow of your painting, congrats, I'm still at mixing color getting the wetness right and shaping flowers...so I think you made a grand job. thank you
Me watching Alvaro paint: this looks awful, this looks awful, this looks awfu- OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC! HOW DOES HE DO THAT? WITCHCRAFT!
A push in the right direction a watercolour painting should go! Thank you, sir.
Just amazing to watch how you evolve this scene, from a lot of very loose washes and a few deft touches!! Phenomenal vision Mr Castagnet!!
I learned more in the first 10 minutes of this than the entire time I’ve been painting. I’ve only been painting a month but that’s beside the point. This man is a genius.
What a treat to be able to view this demo in such detail. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and time. Really enjoyed the banter as well as the painting. Your sense of humor shines through and makes it doubly enjoyable. Hope you have the time and inclination to do more demos at this length!
you are ALVARO! ... thank you for your generous time and giving us this demo.
It is amazing how your painting comes together. In the beginning, the painting looks like a failure, but as I watch something really cool is created. Thank you for this demonstration, sir.

Excellent Demo! You are an inspiration, and a treasure to the art world.
Nothing better then watching a true artist’s application of their mastery. :)
A true master will always share their creative process which YOU are, thank you! I love your style, so freely and with confident. The Daniel Smith paint you’re using is from my hometown, Seattle. Glad I found you in Instagram!

Thanks so much for the demo, I have a number of your videos, and it was wonderful to see you paint a great watercolor right before our eyes.

Everything you do is absolutely amazing 😮🙌 Thank you so much for the demo and the inspiration 💯
Thank you very much for the demo! Very authentic! It's incredible to see the painting evolve.
Its probly blown his brains out trying to work out how to teach it and work out what he's actually doing more than its blown everyone's brains out trying to learn it. Its a god given gift
The words you talk to youself while you are painting have great helpful information. Thank you so much!
Great demo! As someone said--don't paint beautiful pictures but paint pictures beautifully. Thank you.
Love this video because of Alvaro's thought process! A treasure!
Love this guy how he shows himself in the painting.. a privilege!
Gracias Maestro!
More like this, please!
You are the god of watercolor
I love how carelessly careful AC's approach to painting is.
Thank you for sharing your time, talent and your thoughts as you work. Beautiful!
Bravo....thanks so much you made me laugh with the UFO ....I loved here in Australia .....appreciate your time to do a demonstration ...such a wonderful gift
Marvelous!! Your generosity to so openly share your struggle & deliberations as you create this magic is so interesting & helpful.
Thankyou!
Maestro Álvaro saludos, soy profesional en artes visuales pinto hace ya varios años claro no tan buena como quisiera , no me pierdo video donde este ,me encanta el dominio que tiene de la acuarela y sus charlas al transmitir todo lo que vive entorno a este mundo, quisiera lograr eso cuando dice que usted antes de pintar una obra ya la realizo en su cabeza ,esa experticia es de pocos, gracias por compartir, muchos éxitos mas.

Thank you! lots to learn!
It's either the honest gentle poetry of Trevor Chamberlain or the vivacious tight rope Tarantella of Alvaro Castagnet that turns my watercolour crank!
Thank you for a great teaching demo,explaining the structure and basis of your method.
Alvaro . The genAlvaro . The genius behind the stress is understandable as you do keep the performance like the welder holds fired up the arch that melt the steel .
Gracias por su generosidad mostrando su arte!!!

Wonderful job. Really enjoyed it. Don’t we wish we could be sitting in a Paris cafe watching the crowds scurry by on a rainy day?! Thanks so much.
Wow, this is Art !! Thank you to help us understand
Thank you so much master of great WATERCOLOR PAINTINGs it's sooo amazing sir I learnt something
Thank you Mr. Castagnet. Good day, good health, good painting!
Wonderful! your fan from the Philippines
I enjoyed this demo very much, thank you.
I love it. It’s a wonderful disaster, very creative and so funny. I love the UFO disaster! Teach us not to worry so much about mistakes and to turn it into something wonderful.
When we look at the overall work of this artist, we are perplexed why he does not open an art gallery in Florence or Rome or Venice! Nobody like him possesses the feeling of the urban tone, of color, the flicker, the snap, the saber (as when uncorking Champagne with a saber); an incredible talent for synthesis by accident, in the urban complexity of our unfortunate metropolises! There is a lot to say about this artist in the way of him a very sensitive colourist (true master of colored grays) in the wake of modern, contemporary impressionism. He and others (all friends) inaugurate a new interaction (marketing) between artist and "ragardeur" user, far beyond the usual complicity that occurs when the optical illusion of synthesis requires the eye of the public to complete the work!

I consider Castagnet an excellent watercolourist. That said, I want to point out that this demo is my favorite as it is didactic and fortunately free of his usual bragging. Most of his demos are overloaded with simplistic humor.

Considero a Castagnet un excelente acuarelista. Dicho esto quiero señalar que esta demostración es mi preferida ya que es muy didáctica y afortunadamente está exenta de su acostumbrada jactancia. La mayoría de sus demostraciones están recargadas de humor simplístico. Su talento como acuarelista es innegable, pero no tiene la aptitud lingüística de la que hace alarde, puesto que a pesar de sus largos años en Australia su inglés es bastante precario, para no mencionar otros idiomas que él pretende hablar.
Love his work! Especially the restaurant. Is that white made with opaque paint? Must be. Like the white smears/rays of light entering the windows. Cool!
Alvaro must be a real trip. A genuine nice guy too.
you are number one...bravooooooooooooooooooo
En Honduras pintamos al estilo de Álvaro Loved all your paintings.
que bueno eso!!!! Gracias
I think you did a magnificiant job, considering you have to divide your attention, I get the idea and the flow of your painting, congrats, I'm still at mixing color getting the wetness right and shaping flowers...so I think you made a grand job. thank you
Thank you Alvaro for this demonstration hope you return to Malta some day.
I love u as an Artist... Do come to Mumbai City India 🇮🇳 🙏🙏🙏 it was such a great experience to see your thought process... keep rocking Maestro
Gracias. Un placer poder evadirse a un lugar mejor.
Water colour painting is a magic .. you prove that ..
