Still Life Painting. Cesar Santos vlog 007

Still life ia an important part of Academic training, let's investigate why.

To see me in action painting a portrait of my wife from start to finish, while sharing my thought process in almost 20 hrs of instruction, click the link below:

I don't understand why some people who are trying to learn figurative art hate doing still life. They want to do portraits, but to me still life is an essential step when learning.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your videos provide a lot of information in a short period of time and are easy to understand. And of course your passion for your craft as well as your humor shine through!

You are such an amazing artist! I'm overwhelmed by your details in paintings.. I am painting everything from landscapes and now trying to do human figures and portraits but i'll start still life too. i hope one day i can be half as good as you. THANK YOU so much for existing.

Love that you did a teaching on how to set up a still life! Still life props. 🎨 Yes focusing on unity of everything and not each object is definitely a master skill. Gorgeous work as always.

Thank you so much for your videos! I wish you more success!

[SilveryRedEyes]

I really like your vlogs, they teach me so much

[doudeck]

Glad you briefly discussed the purposes of still life painting throughout history. I believe we need more art history taught online, as well as aesthetics. I believe it would help the artist in bolstering the understanding and appreciation of art of the past as well as their own art.

I think you are adorable.  The fact that you are a great painter makes it all the better!

Ceasar you should do a special on who invested and pushed the contemporary art movement that they push in Grad school.

[themrtomward]

Can't say it enough.With all the work you put in and the spoonful of talent you got at birth...WOW! but can you find other music? I have to watch with the sound off and click it back on when you start speaking.

Cute rap brother. I think still life is something that can seem deeply superficial.. because it shows a story about things. But actually, it sets up a a story locked into a time portal that no other moment can steal. I have pictures from my youth that are still lifes. Ordinary pictures, but they hold such a deep profound poignancy of life then because it was so ordinary then that it pulls out in me now how extraordinary the whole is... effortlessly.

Cesar, what would be your advice for someone in the very beginning of learning to draw/paint -- Like if you were told you had to start over - knowing nothing - where would you start?
