I don’t think I have ever seen an artist have so much fun. As he said, “have fun”. I think when we become adults we lose the spirit of fun. This video has inspired me to go and have some “fun” when I paint.
✨🙏✨ me too
He is the best! All his comments are gold nuggets to treasure.
What a great guy Alvaro is. He was so relaxed, happy and passionate about watercolour painting.
Great episode Colour In Your Life
Thank you to all who put this magical episode together for us to enjoy. Also thank you for sharing this with the world. I love the work that CIYL is doing. This episode was a bright spot in my day.
Thank you Alvara. So helpful to hear & see an artist who shares what & why he's doing. His "primordial tip - have fun while painting" That way your joy shows in the painting.
"Your wash is your priority". love this guy...what a talent and so charming. He just exudes energy.
What an entertainer Alvaro is.
Paint for your self indulgence, excellent advice, takes so much pressure off! His Mastership always fires me up, he's an effervescent experience every time. Thank you so much x
Wonderful excellent and have fun. Wahoo!
Watching Alvaro paint is total entertainment! He is a master for certain.
This was phenomenally fun to watch once he started painting and gaining energy...love his work! :)
One of the great watercolor painters. Very nice!
What a great watercolor artist. Thank you for bringing him to us so that we can see his beautiful artwork. I like the fact that he actually stood there and explain some of his watercolor techniques. I love it and I'm looking forward to seeing more of his artwork so that I may Learn and Grow.
Excellent. Castagnet is not afraid of the dark. The dark reds, the very dark blues, he is bold in his approach. What my watercolors lack... but I'm learning by watching.
I have been doing art my entire life, but watercolor was never even a thought….
till I saw this episode. It blew my mind & Alvaro made it look so fun!
I had to give it a go. 5 years later Im happy to say that Im still painting & the experience has even improved my graphite drawings (portraits that r not watercolor) as my approach centers 100% on massing now, in place of linear drawing.
Since this episode, I have sought out other incredible watercolor artists & of course, enjoyed every Alvaro interview & demo I could find. Learning as much as possible about the man & his philosophy.
Out of respect, I do not paint wet streets or city scapes. He is pretty clear about learning: wear ur own clothes while painting a lion in place of the pussy cat.
Basically, express ur own ideas & do so with passion, abandoning all fear.
So, thats what I carry with me in place of ‘what color’ or ‘what supplies’.
Absolutely life changing, simply from the joy of doing, nothing else. No money or fame, no ego…..I just love creating, I love watercolor.
There r very few celebrities I wish to meet, but I would shake his hand & simply say,
‘Thank you’ ✌🏻
How can you not absolutely love this guy?
Such an interesting man and an unequivocal artist.
thank you for introducing me to a wonderful contemporary artist from my country. never spent much time in Montevideo, Uruguay, but knowing he his popular will just help get the word out about where we are situated on this planet and hopefully who we are as people😄. so thank you for featuring him in CIYL, Graeme Stevenson!!
That is probably the most brilliant use of watercolours I have seen. And he has so much fun doing them! Now that's what I call art !
+Elena Lenkova Look for Joseph Zbukvic. You might enjoy him too. Both ultra masters. Uber Maestros.
@@alext8828 just wante to post that haha
thanks for sharing this vid! very inspirational! Alvaro is a very joyful teacher and his art is magnificent. I watch it over and over again!
ALVARO IS ONE OF MY FAVS! such energy and life and passion he puts into every one of his paintings. im an acrylic painter, and i am starting to get into watercolor, and he is a big inspiration! man i would love to see him do some more pure landscapes, that would be a treat to see what unique perspective he would take when painting away from cityscapes.
+gio penn Hopefully we can catch up with him and do another one at some stage, GRaeme
+gio penn One of my fvs too :)

Alvero comes to Seattle Washington at least once a year, sometimes with his son. He does free demos and several workshops at Daniel Smith‘s art store. I have tried to show up every time he’s here. One of my favorite watercolorist of all time.

All of a sudden he turns into a wrestling announcer. lol!

There actually is another one later on which you may have discovered already...
Great...
He was funny, i like this.
Álvaro: me quedo extasiada viendo tus trabajos y especialmente todo el mágico y feliz proceso de creación de ellas ..dibujo al lápiz,pero es un gran deseo que tengo de pintar en acuarelas( fue lo que motivó q conenzara a dibujar,y encontré que es sumamente difícil para mi). Ojalá pueda con eso,lo intentaré,y ver tus vídeos me hacen volver a intentarlo. Quizás si logro tomarlo con más alegría,cómo vos, logre mejores resultados . Es quizás solo un sueño,no lo sé. Un gran abrazo y gracias x compartirnos tu arte
Si vas a pasar por Valencia aquí hay muchos acuarelistas! Pintaremos juntos. Agrupación de los acuarelistas valencianos
very nice...............
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice Demo
Thanks for the visit
Fun !
B Gunter Hi , yes he is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
Бомбезный мужик!
id love him to be my art teacher !!!
So fun! And, crazy! And, skilled! Why does he tuck in one side of his shirt? Ha ha
wonderful masterclass, but the guy is exhausting!!
Brilliant!
...but is it me or are all these artists doing the same style, drag, bleed, scribble sketch? Zbukvic, Pekel and the rest?
nope:)
The interesting part is that they ALWAYS managed to build their own style while painting using the same dam thing... drag bleed sketch, which to me it is just Brilliant
Alvaro suddenly became....like 'if u smell wht d rock is cooking'
I love this guy. He's a true master. But why is his beard always off center? It's too far to the right. Mysteries of life i guess.
+Alex Tworkowski Yes its a bit disconcerting Alex, but he paints well, Graeme
Graeme Stevenson (Colour in Your Life) I have learned so much from these videos. Joseph Zbukvic and others. My brother in law paints. He won't look at a computer. Feel sorry for him. Easy to be in rut w/ no way out. Need exposure to new ideas and ways. Thanks for you response.
***** I just saw a guy on TV w/ the same thing. Is there a secret message being sent. Let me guess. "Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine." That's it. I cracked the code.
Interesting style. What kind of tape is he using? Lots of painters complain about the tape tearing the painting but he just rips this tape without any fuss. Thanks
TMC, It's a masking tape meant for masking things on the paper or stretching it. Good quality ones might not damage the paper.
lol. kamikaze guy. new terminology for me to describe unruly pedestrians.
envoyer moi sur mon face des demonstration complets et merci merci
Water colour painting is the most difficult of all the mediums to master, the secret is simplicity.
The next, is drawing skills, without a good knowledge of drawing you will never be able to do it....BUT you will enjoy your effort.
To be a good watercolour artist will take at least 5 years of constant drawing and painting.....plus a natural talent.
(I teach art)
Those who can't do, teach.
Encouraging comment. Hmm...
+Little Break And so, you shouldn't listen, or what? What is it with that stupid quote, which takes reason away from people? There have been amazing teachers in all fields that couldn't do it themselves just as well as their students. Good advice is relevant even if it comes from someone who can't apply it. But if you can only throw shit at it, maybe you will splatter some on yourself, too.
Who in the hell would dislike this?
Wow. What just happened.
Daniel Hornbeck Hi , yes he is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
