I have started looking through my photos taken over the course of my life. So far, I have chosen two photos that bring back wonderful memories. I also looked at them with an eye for their composition. I am a beginner, so I will draw them first. Then, when I feel my drawing skills have improved to the point where I am pleased with my results, I will begin the painting process. I'm 65 years old and I am finally beginning the process of learning to draw and paint! Thank you Cesar! You are a huge inspiration to me! Lisa
I found your channel and I am in love with your positive energy and fun personality! Funny how I stumbled upon you when I was starting to get into oil painting
Please don't misunderstand, but what bothers me so much about this kind of art in general, apart from the kitschy themes, is the clichéd depiction. It is not a special hand of this special woman. (Well, the hand that belongs to this woman.) It's not the face of a specific woman! It could well be the face of an AI-generated woman that he is painting. It's just the superficial look of a hand, a face. Almost cartoonishly reduced to an everyday hand, as you see them everywhere. The way you imagine a hand. It's neither fish nor fowl, as they say in Germany! I know it's a bit difficult to understand what I mean. But maybe one or two of you will question it!
i wish there was some kind of electric paint mauler. That way i could easliy and cheaply get my own paints without the extra time investment. but they dont exist.
Truly beautiful work! You wife is lovely, and looking at this painting of her through your love for her, no doubt, makes her even more beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing your process! Lisa
Hi Cesar , you mentioned that u using 150 GSM paper sketchbook, I usually use 80GSM copy paper , and never use better quality paper, as I know, I better use good quality paper for finished drawings , but what about practice ?? I know that each type of paper has different feel when making marks with whatever drawing material I use ,and react differently for erasing mistakes, and blending , so how to get used to this without using good paper until making finished drawing Any advice?
Just started Oil Painting. I’m very happy I’m taking the time learning from the Masters of the craft who have studied a great deal to also pass the knowledge on . Especially happy to find that people still care about true Quality that will stand the test of time. Hope I’ll be able to meet some of you great Artists in my lifetime.
Nice demo Cesar. Question: Do you take measurements when drawing a head or do you just "eye ball it" as they say? It looks here like you're using the Andrew Loomis method for drawing a head.
Thx great tutorial however would be better if you could use an in situ demo painting plain air perhaps …it appears most artists online seem to use modern tech to mix colour/shade/value studies by purely copying or scanning their colours off AI images found online …few artists seem to rely solely on plain air adn spend most time in studio fine tuning from photographs. Its off because a camera perspective is different to the human eye and if one is not well versed in correct lenses then most of the time one would be left with a distorted ‘truth’ of what one is actually seeing in real life compositions. ? It’s all too confusing. Knowing just how successful full time artists create from start to finish …most tutors tend to rely on online tutorials and or teaching at schools for a living so a new artist only sees snippets of the process and not the full uninterrupted final product that actually sells and makes money. Sorry Im rattling on a bit …but most tutors are too academic and not real life artists teaching whilst they are creating their own works ….there is a big difference no or am I misunderstanding a heck of a lot of videos I have watched for years, still battling to ‘apply’ value blocking in and colour selection …
L'un des plus grands génies de la peinture du XXIe s ! Cesar, je me demande si vous rendez compte vraiment de votre don exceptionnel et unique au monde.
Hii, please allow me to ask this maybe stupid question - can any of these be used as pigment a. fine clay b. cement c. lime/slaked lime. I am not worried about the color.
