Hello Master Cesar. I bought your video Secret of portrait painting. You are the great guardian of an almost diseapeard knowledge. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.

Thanks for sharing Master😀👍

Love your work Cesar!. Would live to see a detailed video of how you draw water effects on human faces.

Wonderful explaining 👌🏽😍

Cesar, the model is hot!! the rendering is stunning!

❤️❤️👨🏻‍🎨👌 amazing

Eres grande!

Hermosos cuadros.

Thanks for breaking me today Santos. How did you change the color of the paint 5x without ever taking your brush off the screen It went from dark black to skin tone without you ever removing your brush. I am not even talking about cuts in the video. This guy is a magician.

Great. Do some demos more pls. Great art

Thank you! I've been struggling with this stage a bit so this is super helpful

Respect from Detroit

Good job. This is a constant issue for me as paintings are never done for me. Good lesson makes me feel that I am not alone.

Superb mass I love uuu superb....

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!

Thank you sir

Her still lifes are on another level.

Love your work. I can look at it for hours.

11:50 dry brush to blend out brush strokes With gouache potentially can mist the surface then use a dry brush

Wow! This is so valuable. I'm filming myself doing an indirect master copy for my channel right now, but I feel like I've learned so much just from this one video. Thank you Cesar!

Thank you cesar santo know Perry is that paint oil 👍🙏👍

I love oil painting!

😍😍

i love your work master, i love you too..can you please post a video series on how to mix/paint realistic colours in acrylics?

Ahhh, Got my dose of Santos tutorials again!! Love the work and how you continue to share your knowledge with everyone to inspire the traditional and classical style of painting. Bravo Cesar!!

3:00 using his thickened linseed oil to dab onto the painting to test if it’s dry (and to oil out as well? Because he says e wants to make sure it’s nice and saturated = oiling out)

Thank Cesar for explaining this layer technique! I continue to learn from your demos and lectures. Thanks so much for sharing!

You rock ! All hail Caesar! All hail Cesar!

Cesar sei incredibile, attualmente sei il Caravaggio di questo secolo per me .Fammi sapere se vieni in Roma .

Cesar please do a alla prima painting. I use oil paints but I dont have thinners for them so Im stuck painting like this. Wonder if you can give us some inspiration for this technique.

Cesar podrias hacer un análisis de la tecnica de Ilya Repin? Se que a mucha gente le gustaría. De hecho tu forma de pintar se asemeja.

0:33) 3rd stage/2nd painting layer Is just a thin wet on wet layer with a lot of medium = basically glazing/ stumbling In order to create layers for the light to pass through = mimics irl skin and creates illusion of translucent skin like old masters

Thank you for sharing! Amazing video and painting!

nice...

Thank you for the demos. Chances of me getting to Florence to study are not likely.

Gracias genio! Mostrando su knowlledge!!!

Great video as always. But I’m a little confused. You say wet-into-wet but the painting was dry before you started the new layer???

finalmente ensenaste como trabajs de cerca gracias

👍👍👍👏👏👏

What type of lighting and temprature are there in studio

Do you pai t on both sides of the one page? When I do the page really buckles in the middle making a mess of it. I'm using 270 GSM paper.

I love the timabales in this music :) Oh, killer painting to Cesar! Love your work bro!

Really like this style of painting. What kind of round brush is that that you used to apply the colors after the base?

How long does it take you to complete a work with indirect painting techniques

This is really the stage I want to see and learn. Four colors for the final stages. Although you did not show how you mixed the colors, I can match it to the video.

do we have to use green and which one if we have to

Вы великий человек! Хотел бы я учиться у вас!

"Lets rap this video up!"

Hola cesar Santos , quisiera saber , de ser posible, cual es el medium que usas. Y la opinion te tienes sobre dichos medios alquidicos. Desde ya muchas gracias.

For those about to paint, we solute you!

12:00 does anyone know what kind of a shape brush that is to blend out brush strokes? I’m thinking it’s a round but it seems flayed and misshapen? Perhaps that helps with the blending process?

Best

what u think of those who paint all in 1 layer doing it perfectly realistic?

Maestro, I see you are using the Zorn palett for this demo. Was the entire portrait done using this palett? Gracias por todo, espero estes bien.

bravo!!

How long approximately should I have to let dry every layer to be suitable to apply the next one? Is it enough when it is dry to the touch? Please, give me some tips to be sure it is sufficiently dry to continue with next layer. Thank you.

The tips about manipulating drying speed, like with marble dust were very interesting! Why mix the two different blacks and not just use the fast-drying one, though? 🤔

Would you tell me santos, how to prepare our sketch book to oil painting or you allready tell on your videos. Which videos let me know. Thanks santos. Thanks for sharing

Godbless you,,,doint worry support you and your share your video ,too need ,to people,art school,, thanks you,,I ,tortorial,,technnik too painting artlife,

Why don’t you do a studio tour? 🙂

❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Is this full painting painted with these four colores

What is name for used pink brush? Kolinsky sable?

I gotta learn oil painting...and get better at drawing. Cesar, you gotta get lead white! Natural Pigment sells this, Rublev is the brand. Paint as the Masters did and get better, stronger paint film and help your master paintings last lifetimes.

Sir , good evening you,, very nice beautiful painting,,,artlife,,,I knowledge ,,too painting color life ,, combine color in mixing,,too tortorial

Nice work there Cesar . I would like to ask you ,where can i find that super soft brush of yours? i've looked in Rosemary's site but i didn't find it.How is it called?

Cesar, is that a portrait of Daniela Astone? She's a great teacher and painter in Florence.

Saludos Santos. Which is the percent of medium you suggest to begin? Usually I mix solvent with linseed oil at same part when I have everything set. But just very very in the begin just turpentine. Just ask you to put in perspective my process and learn more about it. Gracias hermano. Feliz Ciclo

mantaaap

Legal

I've only recently learned about the 'fat over lean' idea. I am only about to really start learning oils. Does that method stay together better than say the Bob Ross method where progressively thinner layers were used? Or is the thinning layers due to the wet on wet method and not suitable for a dry surface painting like this?

What type of colours and medium do you use can you make a video on your accessories please

By the way you're incredible. Where did you study?
