Cezar I’ve studied you a lot during the CV. Every morning I get up at 5 am and watch YouTube or videos for two hours.
You have the hands of a skilled surgeon. When you combine it with your work ethic and standards it is exceptional.
I cannot duplicate your hands. I’ve seen few that could. KOKO and keep raising your expectations. You are a real role model for any artist at any level. Work work work!
You have a beautiful wife also great model.

"so you can paint in your studio"

if only i had one

[Noonesbusiness]

Beautifully explained. People just need to experiment and play with the color and they'll understand better.

[supersal]

You’re by far my favorite modern artist

[liztaylor]

Thank you for your videos, i was having such a hard time dealing with the stay home order here in chicago, my school had to shut down for the remainder of the semester. You videos really put me back in a space to create again I’m so grateful for your channel

[mahakvandanaart]

very informative video for oil colour artists. 👌🏻

[DanielMartinez-csfg]

Wow this was excatly what I needed! I have purchased all your DVDs, and I am loving these new segments of classes coming from the Best artists. I myself am to busy to ever go to a school in florence and learn like a master, Because my career is in finance but on weekends I try to put time to try to improve. I am still a virgin when it comes to oil paints and achieveing that realism as you do.

p.s One thing I notice tiny cretic in this purcahse there was not any Palate to canves carma angles like in the other videos. helps alot for a beginner to see and also apply.

Thank you My Master Professor Cesar Santos !

Another great video Cesar. Love your presentation and methods. Thank you for sharing.

[Drawing-photography]

Hey Cesar, I bought the full video it’s great! I am having an issue though my paints keep drying before I can blend them together? I tried about four times already. any chance of a video explanation of drying times and blending techniques - I’m going crazy 😜

5:43 classical white skin is pretty gray, pushes saturation from transition from light to halftone
And can play more freely with hues in the ambient light/mid shadow areas

[msbabio]

You can find more power with the ivory black than with the mars black. And that’s how I remember it now. 🙌🙌

[JumeoniArt]

Finally the channel l was looking
I subscribed 😃😊

[on-the-way]

Have you thought about teaching online classes in drawing and painting? I would love to be your student😁

[rubensanchezorozco]

Un gran referente en la pintura clásica en tiempos modernos, aunke no hable en español se le entiende bastante bien, siempre que se sepa la jerga de la pintura básica en ingles claro, gracias cesar.s.

Hi Cesar, could you do a demo where you apply the study if the sphere by tacking a portrait of Caucasian master portrait
And turning the skin into the black sphere color you did
And make it believable?

I have no problems doing spheres or painting from a reference
But the moment I try to do this type of transfer it becomes....”unbelievable”
