    There is no comparison to the joy an artist feels when they’ve painted a beautiful portrait of someone special. Just imagine painting an incredible portrait that is such high quality that you don’t hesitate for one moment to show it off by either giving it as a treasured gift or selling it for top dollar.
    For many painters, portraits are off-limits - they can be too difficult and result in a lot of time spent without being happy with the results. Trying to capture life-like features, flesh tones, and expressions can be frustrating and difficult to correct along the way.
    There is now a way to learn portrait painting that is easier than ever and will take all of the mystery out of this beautiful art form - you will want to discover these secrets for yourself right away, and now you can.
    In this extended video containing over 19 hours of content, follow along with Cesar as he expertly guides you through each step of preparing, creating, and finishing a portrait painting.

    I've known Ceasar's work for less than a year in the art world, and I'm glad he's doing this for everyone. I can't afford it now, but I think it's pocket change to ask for considering all the people involved, and really most importantly this artist's time, and years of experienced skillfully condensed in 20 hours. If you want to learn and be good, practice is key, but a step in the right direction that saves you time is something to never turn down.

    It would take me 35,000 years to learn to paint like him. Genial!

    Cesar's is truly a master. His paintings are magnificent. I love his attitude toward art. He has a great sense of humor and seems to really enjoy sharing his knowledge through his videos. I would love to meet him sometime or visit his studio or a gallery that has a good sampling of his work.

    • @djangolad
      @djangolad 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Eloy is okay but I think show pony when I look at his work .Cesar is more human, quieter, contemplative, mature.

    • @robosing225
      @robosing225 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      djangolad totally understand what you're getting at. I kind of actually agree.
      What about Gottfried Helnwein? He's much more a realist and more lax in terms of flamboyancy than Eloy.
      All fantastic painters never-the-less.

  • @pereztaastic
    @pereztaastic 8 ปีที่แล้ว +269

    I love painting, but i'm very impatient so i rush and then i wonder why something doesn't turn out how i'd like. i wish i could be patient enough for layering

    • @1951jmds
      @1951jmds 8 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      +pereztaastic The secret is to only paint until you feel the urge to rush. For me it's about an hour or so. By the end of the week, I have 7 + hours into a painting. I usually need about 15 hours to complete a 11 x 17 painting. There is nothing written that says you can only do a painting in one sitting. If you can't overcome the urge, then I suggest you switch to a smaller canvas, 6" x 8" so less time is spent on the background. Another suggestion is to switch mediums to watercolor where speed is required. Play classical music in the background. It will soothe and slow you down. Oil painting by it's very nature is time consuming. Da Vinci took his time with painting the Mona Lisa. According to legend, he spent four years on the portrait and still wasn't done.

    • @yaelmaimonartist
      @yaelmaimonartist 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +pereztaastic You need to work on that :) but some artists work fast, not being patient at all, and that's okay too

    • @z1522
      @z1522 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      +pereztaastic Our modern world imposes a frenetic pace and a sense of vague urgency about life which is a mental habit contrary to artistic work, especially in the beginning. Setting a calm workspace free from distractions and interruptions, work in 30-90 min blocks at first, enforce zero deadlines. So much is about creating a mindful focus, that is intent, but unaware of time. It's about developing new habits, not about waiting for some magical muse to inspire greatness. It becomes a give-and-take rhythm; give the work a dab of paint, then take a moment to see its effect, then repeat until done. Stop/take breaks as soon as you catch yourself applying paint without looking at the changes you're making.

    • @jetsonjoe
      @jetsonjoe 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +pereztaastic you are not alone
      it takes time to plan, but often when learning we do not know of the required steps that could help or the benefits of that exercise. Over time you will find the right steps for your desired results. However try not to get obsessed with any doctrine or methodology...but adopting one completely is a good start to "learn" and then adapt...but you need to be dedicated to learning and growing and doing...
      Shed yourself of insecurities and those who do not support you....and protect your mental state in your desire to grow and learn...share selectively...as most will not have any appreciation of the work required to get to accomplishing and finishing a painting and my be quick to offer "suggestions". This is where a good mentor or guide is helpful...but be humble to learn from them and to continuously explore. All the best.

      @AscalonGR 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +pereztaastic instagram.com/yannis_makridis_art/ most works of mine are finished usually within an hour, some of em around 2 hour max.
      Remember, it depends what kind of portrait you're up to. If you go for a realistic one, you may need more time than a more expressionist portrait. I am really bored of spending more than a day or two for the big ones, and I may need to work my patience as well, tho, its a matter of the way you painting in general and what way suits you better for the better results at the specific time you're painting :) It takes time to improve, be patient.

  • @faxx8832

    It's nice to see someone painting with a renaissance like style instead of puking over a canvas and calling it art

    • @phylr3983
      @phylr3983 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      If there's a market for it....puke on canvas isn't my taste either. Now THIS work - ❤

    • @criticalbil1

    This certainly ranks up there as one of the finest paintings I have ever seen. Extremely beautiful model and a seriously talented painter. I have been an artist my entire life, I am 49 years old and have been to many museums and I just want to congratulate Cesar. This is extraordinary!!

  • @jimmiesutton8468
    @jimmiesutton8468 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mr. Santos, I made a comment on another page, channel or what ever: I just want you to know that bought your video and I'm just thrilled! I am a practicing artist for many years, but after six of seven days, I work completely different! I can't explain it to all but if you are serious, c couple of hundred bucks...will be pennies for what's to be learned from this man's teaching! He leaves out nothing, but you have to work! He TELLS you that there are no "MAGIC TRICKS"! YOU don't purchase because its easy; you purchase it to employ new principles of practice! Having thought art for many years, this video has chanced my approach forever! You will never get a better lesson for less, or more than 200. bucks! It will chance you and your work! Jimi...Thank you Cesar!

    Quite inspirational. I'm at a low point in my life at the moment, dealing with failure and insecurity- both in my life and in my art. I hope someday I get out of this and make great art too 💕

    • @artschoollive
      @artschoollive  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Ivan - We're so glad you found this inspirational. To quote one of our other art video instructors/landscape painter, John Pototschnik, "Paint what you know, what you love, and what you're passionate about and there will be a market for it." Sending you lots of positive vibes. 💖
