    In this instructional video on my website cesarsantos.com/ you will witness the materials I used, the set up and every brushstroke as I paint a portrait alla prima from life.
    My wife (the videographer and editor) and I have been living in a van (ArtMove) crossing the US and I had the opportunity to meet up with friends and paint in their cabin. Enjoy the "behind the scene" preview!

    I am familiar with you beginning a painting always with a carefully done charcoal line drawing, so it's really interesting to see you paint in a painterly allla prima style. This is very similar to how artists like Sargent painted. It's hard to do and still get all the contours accurate but you have definitely got the talent to pull it off.

    The music, your friend, I'm feeling so 1930s about this one. So classical. Love your style Cesar... you're always so fun to watch and informative. I might have to spend longer than 6mins and go watch your full length video. If I painted this I would have sharpened way too many edges. Amazing alla prima style! Love all those brush strokes, the final shades and palette. Also that palette looked very natural colour, I don't know if it was the camera or whether you had a very low chroma palette with very natural colouring? Absolutely wonderful and makes me want to go buy more colours just so I can experiment?! (Oh and because oil paints are delicious and I want more lol). Thanks for always sharing your work and helping us develop our skills! Also super inspired by you travelling and painting. 😚

      His intention was a quick portrait and what he did is more or less mono-Tone wwhile it’s very good he obviously was not actually concerned with Accuracy.

      @@shintori2808 Everyone here has been painting for +20 years. When you said its pretty much monotone that explains your understanding in arts. Monotone is using just one color primarily black and white. I can understand you want to justify his art. No wonder he is a great artist thats why we have come here else we would be subscribed to 'how to draw an eye tutorial'. But when colors don't match they simply dont match. The beauty about color painting is if you can match the value and tone you don't have to worry about accuracy.

I would cover these topics: Miami art scene, adjusting to beach closures (can skip if you want), painting with Proko blind video, Cuban art scene vs Miami art scene. Let me know.
