Secrets of Portrait Painting with Cesar Santos

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.

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.

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

[jamobee]

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!!

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

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!

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

[Avinele]

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 💕

[frogrebate]

You are an AMAZING painter!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!

[bobbytirlea]

Absolute RULE, study anatomy! Although, some ten years ago, when I thought I could get away by drawing the figure directly for dynamic illustration, I thought wrong... You have mad skills, thank you for the reminder: Anatomy and basic shapes!

That Thumbnail Painting... It Catches everyone's eye. It have that Freezed Moment.... Can't stop Thinking about that painting....It makes my eyes more thrusty...

[gnuPirate]

It's really difficult to express just how insanely lucky people are these days that artists of Cesar's standard are freely and generously sharing their hard earned skills and knowledge with the world, regardless of our geographic location.

[euceviohernandez]

honestly its satisfying watching him paint

[tioalile]

Inconcientemente la pintura me transportó a una bahia de la habana... Una bella muchacha un poco triste mirando a los lejos donde seguramente piensa.... encontraría una trabajo amigo.

[HelloThere-zfke]
