Wow,8 years ago.Gosh I miss this show.

@anthonyjones6596 9 лет назад

I love that rebellious attitude he puts into his work. Such a great passion; that is what truly separates the masters from the students. Cheers Graeme, great show!

@RoamingDoctors 5 месяцев назад

N still he has great control

@LironYan 7 лет назад

A true master! The way he just has fun with the colors, it's amazing and inspiring. Every step looks like it may end in a disaster, but ends up looking amazing (: - Liron

@IYQ2-22 7 лет назад

Alvaro, your painting are so free and beautiful, I love your style:-) Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, it was truly amazing!!!

@maryayris6295 9 лет назад

Phew, what can you say? Great, thank you for sharing, especially your thoughts about painting for yourself and your own pleasure:not egotism, just the joy of painting.

@rubysabanal6617 7 лет назад

I will never get tired watching Alvaro's demo. Fantastic art!

@roxym.3933 4 года назад

I love Álvaro I even use a lot of his techniques but my personal opinion is that before he was much more humble but humility has gradually gone away

@terrywbreedlove 8 лет назад

I always enjoy watching this man create. I did not need those huge subtitles interfering I can understand him perfectly.

@mindfulnessjewelshk8667 2 года назад

Amazing work!

@debrabannister6922 10 лет назад

Thanks Alavaro! I found this to be a very instructional video because you talk about the philosophy of the artist e.g. the broadcaster as well as helping us understand why a great artist does what he does. I certainly feel inspired and ready to be more authoritative with my brush strokes.

@fritzlaukemann5393 5 лет назад

@monsurhabib 6 лет назад

He paints almost like performance artist....its not just the painting at the end of the process. Its the entire process that is so engaging. I dont know anyone that can do this.

@ФанияВалиева-п3и 4 года назад

Какая удивительная акварель, так все живо, виртуозно, смело, по хулигански даже, в хорошем смысле слова. Просто в восторге!

@vivekjaiswal9024 3 года назад

When the very first time watercolor caught my attention , I never knew who Joseph Z was or Alvaro , Thomas S… then I started watching these people in action.. I always thought what Alvaro is doing? But now I realise his loose and free painting style is more expressive and yes as always he starts with a disastrous approach which always ends up looking so wonderful … great respect for him and all the other artists.. too bad I am honing my skills in charcoal and pencil for now.. not much of watercolor but once I start I would love to replicate his style .. thank you for this video ..

@justinwr092 Год назад

Wow so glad I found this video lol. I chuckled more than a few times. I'm reading his book too. Great guy.

@mczarnecki6 8 лет назад

Thanks for your sharing tips for painting Watercolors! We each paint differently. I love to see how some artists have the ability to create suggestions of details with very few strokes! In your Opera painting, your mind fills in the blanks where the tables and people are milling about. I try to paint daily when time allows and still keep learning. I have an arsenal of brushes to paint with, but I find that about 10 brushes are what I do almost all of my works with. I find that so many artists work with small brushes and their work gets to ''tight'' resulting in boring paintings. Try using some cheap throw away brushes some time. I believe you will find the results very surprising and fun too!

Question about color. For the Dome, I hear Ultramarine Blue but not the other color. Does someone hear that clearer than I can. I wanted to go to his workshop when he is in the North East up in the New England area but cant make it. Or I would ask him. Thanks..

Álvaro,me maravillan tus obras y disfruto el proceso. Desearía llegar a tener esa libertad,esa comunión y hasta desenfado con la acuarela. Supongo que el secreto sería cambiar mi postura,soltarme sin temor a arruinar el trabajo . Disfrutarlo y pintar para mí,como creo que expresas en este video.Soy Argentina. Ojalá pueda verte en vivo,no se cuando volverás a estar por aquí. Se que fue hace poco invitado por acuarelistas de mi pais y no pude ir. Un abrazo y que sigas siempre regalando tu arte y tu alegría a todos nosotros ,tus admiradores.

@benjaminscheafer2934 5 лет назад
