Oh my gosh! Loved this! There are few things as fun as going to an art musuem with an artist friend.

[@dunningkruger6075]

I like seeing Stan's west coast method art background contrasted with the Academic Florence style. Form over Value and Value over Form. Constructive vs observation. Illustrative leaning vs very natural. Interesting to see two artists I like so much that have very different styles hanging out. Love it.

[@scottkendall5655]

love the discussion between you guys.

[@tshobe7833]

Stan and Caesar are my 2 biggest modern day master artists that I follow closely! And to see this video with both of them together now is surreal! Did you guys do this just for me? Thank you!

[@yazmoz9863]

Tim Shobe I felt exactly the same way. Amazing. We are lucky to witness this.

[@Kaalokalawaia]

I think we all feel this way

[@clearebueno2697]

Hahahaha. Felt the same too

[@Mimosarush]

wow what a dream team- you guys are both great instructors and artists. Thank you!

[@michaelbabin6606]

What a delight to see two professionals artist that I love to watch and learn from...great video guys. Cesar you forgot to rap the video up!!!

[@christopherwalker3936]

This has really helped with my artists studies, how to describe what I'm seeing and explain it. Thank you 👍🏻

[@bastonero7572]

2 of my favorite artists collaborating! 😊

[@maliequizhu6614]

Love these 2 artists ❤️❤️❤️

[@mirancor]

Ahh hombre Cesar vos tenes un alma y una pasión como la de un niño que buena onda. No te imaginas la ola que se esta volviendo en las redes y en el internet los talleres, los curso y la enseñanza en linea sobre el arte clásico, recuperando mucho de su esencia tradicional que para muchos como yo nos es difícil encontrar en nuestros países con ese alto valor académico (ademas de asequible) que ustedes los profesores y maestos americanos han adquirido durante décadas. Gente como Stan Prokopenko, James Gurney, Glenn Vilppu y muchos otros que hacen genialidades por la red, de los que he aprendido mucho gracias a sus curso libres y pagos, ahora vos sumandote como un puente aun mas cercano para los amantes del arte del Rio Bravo hasta la Patagonia. Me alegra e inspira a seguir aprendiendo y lo mejor de esto es que es de nunca acabar. Un fuerte abrazo, espero que tus trazos y pinceladas, te traigan a ti y a tus colegas algún día por Colombia alguna charla exposición o taller estaría de muerte jajaja. Seguí dejándonos fascinados con tus obras y mejor aun con tu conocimiento. Exitos que vas pa' arriba aun mucho mas.

[@nsblizard]

mirancor apoyó total a este individuo y su genial comentario una clase maestra con cesar en bogota seria genial o un conversatorio....saludos

[@sarahwoods1371]

It is so funny- when your knowledge of art is limited how different conversation about paintings in a museum can be! Fun to listen to you guys discuss the technical things about art - makes it look so fun to be able to see paintings along with a strong understanding of what is going on in them!

[@hiddentrails6735]

What a lovely video. Two of my favourite artists in the same video. Hopefully there will be a lot more of this in the future.

[@kailasassrinithyadevaroopa2650]

Awesome you guys! Looking forward to the next one ! Thank you!

[@NavyaJohri]

Cesar Santos you sir are an inspiration, your work ethic is amazingly crazy but extremely practical!

[@milkbread5036]

This was so fun! I love seeing the two perspectives of great master artists of today ^_^

[@kenny97844]

OMG TWO KZbin ARTISTS!!! MY DREAMS CAME TRUE 💓💓

[@krautgraphics]

Can't wait for the sequel!

[@danteslasher]

This is soooo sick man! I often make use of Proko's content. It's a blast watching you two hang and discuss art. Never thought I'd see you two, do a collaboration like this!

[@AnamiDevGyan]

You both are my favourite ❤️❤️❤️

[@yazmoz9863]

Simply Great. Your sketchbook on proko channel is a masterpiece. Amazing.

[@SebastianTinajero]

I love Proko glad you both did some videos together

[@BetoAzamar]

I really enjoy to see you two together just talking and sharing opinions. Please do another video like this one. Perhaps in another museum or a coffee together talking about art. You both are amazing artists. Different approaches and that's why its interesting to see you talking.

[@markcaselius5993]

Really enjoy your incites and your sharing of your knowledge. I learn a great deal every time.

[@lindamclean8809]

Wonderful.......wish I was there

[@Kaalokalawaia]

So good. Love your commentary

[@rickyvilla9213]

Wow maestro Cesar does it again

[@TheGalaxyWar]

love it every time you upload

[@AngelOrtiz1]

great I admired both excellent gathering amigos Saludos a ambos

[@HowardOwensIII]

Enjoyed this not just because I like your work but it was great to see scenes from home from 3000 miles away. Miss Balboa Park.

[@ArtistWizardry]

You two make a great team.

[@Lucyart]

I love both of you 😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@Hayreddin]

Hi Cesar, I really appreciate your videos and love your enthusiasm. The fact that that still life with the big piece of cheese has no clear prominent subject, is a matter of choice by the artist, I was taught that this kind of art is defined as paratactic (hope that's the correct term in English) and should be thought of like some sort of geographical map, where all the information is laid there and the viewer chooses what to concentrate on, if I remember correctly is was common among Flemish painters; on the "Italian" side we have so called syntactic art that can be read like a book and puts the focus on the narrative element, as you know very well you can often follow the composition to learn a story, so I think that reflects two different outlooks on life and the role of Art.

[@seanpaulson9098]

Amazing

[@mkAYY825]

2 masters of the 2018 re-rennaisance , proko and cesar santos :D

[@Mariana-lh5ic]

The videos of the two are inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing!! Please have some videos from your channel, which the caption option is not enabled. This helps us a lot, thank you !!

[@pardismack]

I thought Proko will contact you when he asked what artist he should visit next :D I guessed right :D

[@MilenyDias-rk8so]

I love you guys

[@maribelmorales6004]

Hey Cesar, when will part 2 be out? Love you guys!

[@pleinaire8698]

ahhh wish I could have been a tag-along with your both!!!

[@GambozzoBalozzo]

Hi Cesar! I really fell in love with the way you explain paintings and history of art, it seems so genuine, visceral but at the same time very technical and methodical. Maybe because you are an artist yourself and not an academic /history teacher? Could you suggest us books/videos/blogs/websites that tell art and art history this same way? Thank u very much

[@hellobaby133]

Proko just got schooled by Cesar, i enjoy what both of you guys do.

[@zepps88]

Meh, I feel like he's pulling a lot of things out of his butt.

[@novusvoss]

Just because one has more fun talking about it doesn't mean the other one didn't understand it beforehand. ;)

[@Awprod2000]

Is that the original "Young Shepherdess" painting? It's outstanding. Anyone know where it "stands" in the art world, is it considered one of the great ones? It certainly is to me.

[@procrast]

amazing! call sinix to join you guys, that would be really cool

[@juli82E]

How I would love to hear what you have to say going through the Kimble Art Museum in Fort Worth! I can spend days in there!😜

[@Nivenization]

Thank you.

[@Drawing-photography]

When is part two?

[@jaydubya3698]

Cesar is Courbet from "The Meeting" and time traveling to San Diego. LOL

[@elsef6798]

Great idea for a video! :) and probably a very interesting conversation but while Stan Prokopenkos' voice is clear, it is really hard to hear what you (Cesar) is saying. At least for me trying to watch it on my iPhone. Ps I really like that the video is longer 👍

[@santocesart]

Else F is probably my accent!🤔🤣

[@elsef6798]

Ha ha no your accent is def no problem (it actually makes english sound better) - but your microphone might be 😊

[@yazmoz9863]

Cesar Santos you are unique . Your accent is what makes you who you are. A Cuban master who is humble and real. Keep it up.

[@daleg9355]

Yeah, the audio was unclear at times, but you can turn on the captions. Great video. Great way to learn from a talent like Cesar and get to see great museum works. Thanks Cesar and Stan!

[@DescartesDooley]

cool

[@warlorddk2070]

Who painted the women in the white dress in the garden?

[@TracyLEmond]

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 Cesar! Question a bit off topic...when you are doing paintings in your sketchbook, what are you using to add to your oil paints to get then to dry quicker??? Otherwise I have to let my sketchbook sit for a week till it drys enough...

[@santocesart]

Tracy Emond Alkyd titanium white and ivory black. A bit of Cobalt drier if needed.

[@TracyLEmond]

Cesar Santos thank you SO much! 💜 your work!

[@melissalefebvre3476]

I can’t make out the name of the “magical artist” he refers to that does amazing blending? Bolero?

[@sghinshaw]

Anyone know the name of the painting at 5:00? Beautifully done!

[@nicolasnoel8809]

[@misha5570]

[@ShawNshawN]

Hi Cesar, I love this video dissecting the museum. I included this clip in my FB Group called Art Collector Connoisser on 9/5. The link to the group is facebook.com/groups/artcollectorconnesseur/ . Can't wait to see more museum reviews with other artists. Peace!

[@nambundilko]

You two are powerful combination. Cesar voice microphone sounds weird :(

[@mayploy6869]

[@dynamics36]

[@rickzan731]

[@matt23012301]

poor proko

[@eu210495]

I want to learn something from you. I want to understand more about glazeing. I mean all about this, because I found this part of the process very difficult. It will be very usefull for me as an artist and i'll be very gratefull if you will do this... Tutorial... To say it so...

[@erxfav3197]

Mihai Christian to really learn try it yourself don't focus on the technique/application but on what you are trying to achieve with it, and learn in the process There is not much to say about "glazing" technique-wise It is simply applying wet paint over dry or dry-enough paint It can be opaque pigment made more transparent by adding medium (oil/turpentine/resin/etc/combination of any) Or it can be transparent pigment (also diluted with any mixture of medium) It can also be applied and rubbed off/smeared with a towel or finger etc So regarding the technique that's all there is to it.. Regarding in depth philosophical discussion that is something that just comes Learn. Apply. Experiment. Learn Develop a reasoning Then the execution is almost a byproduct The execution can also be a means and an end in of itself To summarize: glazing is just a description of a technique (of paint application) or glazing as a technique is just a technique Glazing in a greater sense is something else.. and that is sort of beyond words.

[@eu210495]

Anthony C Thank you. I will take in consideration.

[@ssddpost]

Weird Twilight Zone stuff.

[@macx8360]

Is this a profitable proffesion

[@Cosmic_Ordering]
