I don't understand why some people who are trying to learn figurative art hate doing still life. They want to do portraits, but to me still life is an essential step when learning.
suburban homestead when I started painting, I wanted to paint what I was interested in, namely people. When my interests gradually shifted to still life and plein air painting I also noticed a substantial improvement in my paintings of people. I wish I had done so earlier 😂
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your videos provide a lot of information in a short period of time and are easy to understand. And of course your passion for your craft as well as your humor shine through!
I just watch for the rap endings!
You are such an amazing artist! I'm overwhelmed by your details in paintings.. I am painting everything from landscapes and now trying to do human figures and portraits but i'll start still life too. i hope one day i can be half as good as you. THANK YOU so much for existing.
Thank you so much for your videos! I wish you more success!
I really like your vlogs, they teach me so much
Love that you did a teaching on how to set up a still life! Still life props. 🎨 Yes focusing on unity of everything and not each object is definitely a master skill. Gorgeous work as always.
Love these vlogs!
Great vlog Cesar! Really enjoyed watching them all, but especially this one. You're getting better at doing them, keep it up brother.
Glad you briefly discussed the purposes of still life painting throughout history. I believe we need more art history taught online, as well as aesthetics. I believe it would help the artist in bolstering the understanding and appreciation of art of the past as well as their own art.
Amazing work! So appreciate that! Thank you
you are amazing cesar.
amo tus raps jaja pero sobre todo tus videos, eres grande cesar! 🙌
Ceasar you should do a special on who invested and pushed the contemporary art movement that they push in Grad school.
I love your little rhymes at the end of every video
Another interesting vlog.
You're amazing! ❤️
I think you are adorable. The fact that you are a great painter makes it all the better!
Love love love... Wish to be your student

Very helpful sir ❤❤❤🙏

I want to learn how to paint this all
Thank you
Can't say it enough.With all the work you put in and the spoonful of talent you got at birth...WOW! but can you find other music? I have to watch with the sound off and click it back on when you start speaking.
I laugh every time at the rap at the end
Hello, I was looking for advice on how to set up a successful combination for a still life ...I got some statements/facts how it helps in general but is there a way you can create a video of a process of setting it up? For example - seafood still life or combination of glass with liquids? Something more interesting and modern? Thank you for your time!
Cute rap brother. I think still life is something that can seem deeply superficial.. because it shows a story about things. But actually, it sets up a a story locked into a time portal that no other moment can steal. I have pictures from my youth that are still lifes. Ordinary pictures, but they hold such a deep profound poignancy of life then because it was so ordinary then that it pulls out in me now how extraordinary the whole is... effortlessly.
Cesar, what would be your advice for someone in the very beginning of learning to draw/paint -- Like if you were told you had to start over - knowing nothing - where would you start?
Sarah Woods I would start again the same way... drawing anything that calls my attention.
That doesn't seem so bad... I ♡ simplicity
hello sir im from India and im learning portrait painting ... sir can u pls tell me that which company oil colours you used to your painting??
Biswajit Paul Winsor & newton and old Holland
thank u sir......
XD love you r t-shirt , hahaha
how can i become a disciple !?
I used to think portrait and still life paintings were [among] the most boring things in the world.That is before I learned the difference between showing an object and painting a story. There are a lot of people doing "paint by swatches", which is a skill, and perhaps a way to start, but does not appeal to me. I'm currently obsessed with trying to put gesture and expression into inanimate objects without turning them into cartoons --it's way beyond my current skill level, but remains a goal. At this point I'm not even sure it is possible.
Andre Artus you gotta start making it happen now, don't wait, dont worry, it will evolve later
Hi Cesar, I certainly agree with you.
I realize my message may come across as despondent, after re-reading it, but the difficulty is actually my motivation. Every single envelope, printout, or other piece of paper on my desk has at least one drawing on it. I'm strongly left-brained, so I write and plan the stories I want to tell then practice the components. I'll have a stack of paper filled with three point perspective drawings, or an eye, nose, or even a sphere. I like seeing things that aren't real, but look like they would fit into the real world (follow rules of light, volume, and perspective).
I'm so happy with, and inspired by, this new realism revival (and the people like you promoting and teaching it). I just wish it was around 20 years ago. I had a friend who was very skilled (drew and painted every opportunity) give up on art and move into refrigerator repair after going to art school. He wanted to create beautiful things; they instilled into him the notion that what he liked to create was kitchy, sentimental, and cheap/worthless. He was a very soft-hearted, easily bullied, person; so he believed them. He would joke/complain that his highest assessments came from cleaning/wiping his palette and brushes onto a fresh canvas. He left school and stopped drawing, stopped painting, and -- after two years of misery -- eventually stopped his own life.
Thank you for doing your part in making art inspiring again.
Andre Artus wow
Andre: What a terrible story. Imagine being bullied for persuing beauty. But I think it’s the same in my part of the world. Imagine: the royal academy of arts in my country stopped having painting and sculpting programs altogether. Now it’s only contemporary design, architecture and some other degrees. And most of the products from their graduates are ... terrible, lifeless.
Sir why don't you show us that how to paint with your lecture
1st ?
in a yim mau kun video he says (sort of) nicholai fechin forced his students do draw apples and students where like but i want to paint portraits and fechin replied how are you going to draw a face if you cant draw an apple ?
Still life or: Classical Flossin’
for some reason all ive been drawing lately is still life stuff so I guess if you want to watch someone draw a bunch of fruit im your guy hahah
⬅️👁 👁➡️
Everything you SAID was absolutely correct.
But your arranging of objects that have nothing in common did a great disservice to your viewers.
You did not mention the subject of design once.
Why is that?
Sammy smith because this video is not about design nor about objects that have to do with each other.
