Wow, that portrait of the girl is beautiful!
I paint realistic but Man!.. That easel is Wow! I thought it was the easel!
😂
F*** man mee tooo !!!!! 😂. I only realised when he placed the brush on it
Me too
Wait. That wasn't a real easel? When it got to that part, I was like "kinda interesting to demonstrate on the easel."
Dafuq, same here! 😀
Cesar Santos, you are the MAN!
Thank you sharing this. I learned so much in that 13 minutes. I went through my brushes and did the test and was surprised to find that I do have some good ones. Thank you for explaining the difference between the oil and watercolor brushes too. I think it is easy for novice painters to get lazy about brushes, but your tools really do make a difference. Now, my approach to painting will be totally different. I will first think of what the painting needs when I choose my brushes.
At first I thought the easel is real.... Sometime later i realised that this is a drawing 😁😁 osm art sir..❤️❤️❤️
I love Rosemary & Co brushes, it's worth every cent of the delivery to Australia! Cesar thank you so much for sharing how you use them, love your work! I am self taught in oils and learnt portraits from great UA-cam like yours!
It seems like a photo! I love it, so good!
absolute favorite UA-cam channel
Fantastic and informative videos Cesar, I look forward to each one!
Am I the only one who thought the Easel at 7:22 was real?
Eddie Moon
Nope!
Hahaha I rewound it 3x thinking..'Why is he painting on his easel?!!!' LOLOLZZZ
I got caught too
Nope, got fool to!!!
I thought why is he painting his easel? Duh and wow! Is there any hope for me?
I was disappointed on my second Rosemary order. The first order they included several amazing chocolates. I was looking forward to them on the second purchase, but none were in the box. Oh well, the brushes themselves are working wonderfully. I guess I will have to get my own chocolate. ;) BTW, your artwork is amazing and I will definitely be checking out your other videos.
Thank you Cesar for sharing your thoughts and your views. It is very useful.
Thank you for sharing this. i love you Cesar, Happy Birthday!
Great information, thanks! Your videos are always informative and always so well done.
wowww man... there is so much to learn from you.. BRAVO.. THANKS FOR LESSONS 😊
Your artwork is phenomenal man. They look like photography pictures.
Truly artist and communicator
Very useful post. Thanks for sharing knowledge César!! All the best!
Thank you for a really informative 13 minutes. I've been painting 34 years and just realized I've limited myself to rounds, filberts, and flats. Why I have no idea but I feel like I forgot I had more tools.
Always impressed with your videos and they always inspire me to paint.
Bought about 25 recently . Love them.
I still like some of the Escoda. I even like a few of my old watercolor brushes. But if I could get all the money back on all the brushes and spend them on Rosemary I would.
We used to get brush wholesalers out to the California Art Institute in Thousand Oaks. This guy bought leftovers and blemish errors.
I remember him spreading out maybe a thousand brushes on the floor.
I think having Rosemary brushes is going to improve my art. It’s that simple.
Loved this video, and literally laughed out loud at the Bobb Ross Afro addition. Your work is AMAZING and I'm delighted to be a new sucscriber.
Thanks for the very informative video and Happy Belated birthday!! I hope you had a wonderful day.
0:00 till 0:26 is inspiration enough for why everyone should paint well, get those brush company supporting you, and you got free brushes untill you die. Keep it it Cesar. Cuba forever!
Yes! specially a great brush company!
Thank you for sharing Cesar. You are such an inspiration love your voice and your rap and of course your master art works:)
Man.u'r THE best out of the Beasts..!! Thank you
I love your videos! So helpful! Thank you.
I'm a digital artist and have been trying to get back into traditional this was very helpful.
Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite on UA-cam! Thanks so much for this lesson on brushes. And yes, Rosemary brushes are one of the best! They are one of my faves along with the Escoda brushes. I don't normally use the natural brushes for my oils though, usually use them with watercolor because I fear that I would spoil them haha. What's important for me too though is the brush care, best ways to clean them and keep them. Perhaps you could share that in one of your upcoming video? Keep up the good work and we'll be watching always...
Thanks for loving our brushes - we appreciate it!
Another great video thank you Cesar ,
excelente maestro, mil gracias por las instrucciones!!
Super helpful and informative, thank you!
Great info, Cesar!
Best ever explanation please upload it with youtube ads, many people will get exact information 🙏
Me ha impresionado su estilo y dinámica en la composición, magnifico.
Loved the Bob Ross reference! 😁🦱
Thank you Cesar!
"Brush-Mary-Roses"! Very cute!
I thought the painting in the thumbnail was a real person and this was one of my wife's makeup tutorial videos, I was like "How did this get in my subscription videos?!" lol
lol
Michael Alphin Art lol
Girl looks like a photo the easel is great but looks painted and I am not sure it is intended to look photorealistic
Muchas gracias tio!!! AGUR, GREETINGS FROM NEW YORK!!!!!
incredible explanation, it helps a lot thanks 🍀🍀
Thank you for sharing these videos.
muchas gracias Cesar por compartir tu experiencia, me es de mucha ayuda :)
contigo aprendo sobre pintura y practico inglés jajaja. sigue así. No cocnocía esa marca, suelo usar escada, pero no soy profesional. me alegra que hayas hablad8 de este tema que ya te había preguntado en otro video. gracias.
i paint with rosemary brushes too, feels amazing:)
Fantastic !
thanks for sharing your knowledge...really you r good artist:)
A tip recommended from a artist in an instructional video I own was to apply standard hair conditioner to the brush after cleaning and let dry over night. This works great for all natural hair brushes. Does wonders for holding the shape of the brush. Any brand will work.
Gran Artista y maestro que admiro
I have two Rosemary brushes - will be buying more!
Thanks César!!!!
Very helpful thank you!
Você é incrível!
Bro youre a great artist
"an improved Miro" hahaah magnifico :)
The best!
thank you for covering tips that nobody talk about 👍
11:00 mark onward- best advise on using brushes.
I want those brushes 😍
Amazing sir
Thanks for all your help great videos! gracias amigo:)
Wonderful tutorial
I totally agree with you about Rosemary Brushes ! When I discovered them I could use my old brushes anymore. I just regret their extra-long mangoose wich is not avalaible anymore even if it is nice for those little cute beast :-)
Gracias. Santos. Buena information
Thank you!!!
Yeah, and I did all possible work with cheap school grade brushes which were not only old, but stuck with dry paint as well. :D
Cesar, I adore you...!!! You're SUPERFLY...!!! :-)
Good info! Thanks 👌🏽
Bravo, Cesar! Brilliant, as always. I'm passing this link on to the Angel Academy students, as well as my Florence- and Belfast-workshop students. (I LOVE your portrait of Savannah, by the way.)
As you know, I and many of the top Realists today use Rosemary's brushes-I second your endorsement of them.
Michael John Angel thank you Maestro!
Thanks so much, Michael. We appreciate your endorsement and all you do for us! Thank you thank you! :)
For a moment there I thought the easel was real. That Bob Ross touch was hilarious.
Loved this. Would like to see an explanation on brush sizes 🤔
THANK YOU!!!!
thank you for share this... i was really thinking about, which brushes should i use for paintings
I’m saving months to buy a set of rosemary brushes. I’m only an amateur artist ☺️ their brushes are top quality, a very good investment.
Thank you for sharing
the king
Wow Cesar, I just found out about you and your work because of your affiliation with the ARC... I must say, I'm astonished by your charisma, your insightful comments, your vast knowledge and the quality of your videos! Instantly subscribed to your channel.. I do have a question: which kind of rigger brush do you use?
Superb info and counsel. Please discuss your brush cleaning method one day.
D&T Floyd you could use solvent, oil, soap and water, or a combination of the three. I often give my brushes a rinse in solvent, give them a quick wash in Walnut oil, and wipe off the excess oil to condition the bristles. You can also use soap and water, but be sure you get all of the soap out of the bristles so that it does not get into the paint. If you get soap into the paint it can compromise the integrity of the painting. You do t always have to clean your brushes thoroughly, because it can wear them down. I have a light brush, a mid tone brush, and a dark brush. I just wipe off the paint and dip them in oil. Try those out and see what works best for you. Let me know how it works. :) Happy to help.
Gracias cesar por la información de los pinceles 🖌!
THAnk you for all your valuable help and information. You’ve inspired me to become a better artist and to learn how to paint.
Can you please do a video explaining varnishing. When to do it and when not to? Thank You 🙏🏼
D.O.N MUZIC varnishing protects the painting and evens out the colors, so there really isn’t much of a downside to varnishing. It will likely make your paintings look better. If you use gamsol, you can varnish when it is touch dry. If you use damar varnish, you may need to wait up to six months to make sure the painting is dry and the varnish won’t crack. Let me know if you have questions. Happy to help. :)
Thank you so much
great video
I have used and still do these rosemarys mongoose and others for years Apart of the mongoose all others fell the same. Da vincis have very nice ones so do Leonardo as well. After a point brushes make no difference to me anymore, I'll adjust them to my style.
nice brush i really jealous to you all painting accesories you have from natural pigments to chalk ink.
Ive got some of those extra long brushes - they're great - but bloody heavy!!!!
Muy bien.... como siempre :o)
Sir plzzz. Make a video on how to make the exact colour which we wanted
waiting for the reply experiment until you get the desired color =) and studying color theory always help
first choose the available paint with the nearest hue to the hue of what you're copying. then adjust the value by adding white and/or yellow to lighten OR black and/or brown to darken to arrive to the value of what you're copying. then adjust the chroma by adding a neutral grey of the same value to lower the chroma or a high chroma paint of same value and hue to increase the chroma.
What is the best method of cleaning brushes? Can you use the same brush for oil and acrylics?
James Garza there are lots of methods for cleaning brushes. You can uses the same brushes for acrylics and oils but make sure they are very clean before switching. Typically natural hair is used for oils because it can tolerate the solvents and soak up more paint, whereas synthetics can break down over time from solvents. I usually clean my oil brushes with a little bit of gamsol and then use linseed oil to clean off excess paint and to condition them between sessions. You can also use soap and water. Try them all out and see what works best for you. :)
what about charcoal wich ones you use for the charcoal?
Thank you, this really helps! I wonder, could you refer where you got that huge brush stand on your right- our left - thanks you again!
The bob rod hair made me chuckle lol.
I love rosemary brushes. I prefer them over trekell. Can you do a video about the kind of oil paint you use?
Thank you
thanks bro..😊
I want a set!
Cesar i wish you would make a video about BLENDING, it seems no one ever has done that. I wonder your process of blending and creating form with values and colors to create a realistic form.
Also how old masters blended oil would be good to learn.
I fell out of my chair laughing @9:46
I adore Rosemary brushes, and jeepers do they make all the difference!
PS: Where did you get that hand gesture t-shirt? I need to know
I see Rosemary Brushes, I thumbs up
Thanks máster...
