DEMO LIVE - September 13th

[@jimcarpenito3371]

What a treat to be able to view this demo in such detail. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and time. Really enjoyed the banter as well as the painting. Your sense of humor shines through and makes it doubly enjoyable. Hope you have the time and inclination to do more demos at this length!

[@terrynaidu7717]

Just amazing to watch how you evolve this scene, from a lot of very loose washes and a few deft touches!! Phenomenal vision Mr Castagnet!!

[@BaydreamR]

A push in the right direction a watercolour painting should go! Thank you, sir.

[@johncarbis6688]

I learned more in the first 10 minutes of this than the entire time I’ve been painting. I’ve only been painting a month but that’s beside the point. This man is a genius.

[@JN-kf3kf]

you are ALVARO! ... thank you for your generous time and giving us this demo.

[@thelanes6448]

I don’t leave comments! Think I’ve only ever left two on all social media platforms but I must leave one today - I’ve watched and tried to learn from Alvaro through videos and Colour in Your Life - but until I had seen the live demo today - I just didn’t get it! I thought it was about waving your brush about on the paper and hoping for the best but Alvaro has shown it’s about using the medium as it should be used! Lots more to learn. Thank you Alvaro!

[@Kennie2Times]

Thank you from San Francisco! I am a troubled man living in troubled times, and I feel that this is why your art and vision resonate with my soul so well! I appreciate you! Peace and love and good health to you and your wife!!!

[@AlvaroCastagnet]

Thank you for your support ! Hope you enjoyed it ! keep well!

[@TerryKrysak]

Thanks so much for the demo, I have a number of your videos, and it was wonderful to see you paint a great watercolor right before our eyes.

[@SeanKroner]

Excellent Demo! You are an inspiration, and a treasure to the art world. Nothing better then watching a true artist’s application of their mastery. :)

[@pinwheelgrl9304]

To see you draw and paint like this reminded me of something I thought was no longer part of me because it had been locked away for decades. Totally thought it was gone. But now the desire to be creative wants to come out and play with me again. It is so helpful to see how you invent shapes and design your drawings. And the painting process - it makes me want to try it. Thank you for posting demos.

[@frenchgrama]

Thank you soooooo very much for your generosity in sharing this tutorial - I have many of your videos and have been fortunate enough to attend one of your workshops and everytime I watch you paint I learn something and am grateful for the knowledge you pass on to us....

[@rollinwithsonny7975]

A true master will always share their creative process which YOU are, thank you! I love your style, so freely and with confident. The Daniel Smith paint you’re using is from my hometown, Seattle. Glad I found you in Instagram!

[@hlk01]

It was an honour to watch this live. Thank you for sharing your talent with the wider community and thanks also for making this available to watch again.

[@AlvaroCastagnet]

Thank you Christine!

[@celiagraham3926]

Just so cool, this is what I hope to achieve one day. Thank you for telling us everything we need to know, it will put me on the path I have been seeking to change my whole life.. quit my job and pursue my passion for art.. I started looking and I have found it, all I need to see and hear to fill me with pure inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your philosophy and technical applications ❤

[@preetiartist01]

Alvaro thank you for this splendid informative demo. It’s brilliant. You discussed the whole story of painting that you had in your mind, explained your plan of action, color scheme, problems you faced and how to tackle it. Brilliant. Thank you. 🙏🏻❤️

[@randystewart8895]

Amazing creation! I'm in awe at Castagnet's style and technique! Thank You for sharing your Master demonstrations with us Alvaro Castagnet. Thank You.

[@ColorArtEmotion]

Such an amazing demo! Loved it so, so much! I loved the most how you explained all decisions and the fact that you were so flexible and free! So inspiring! Thank you!

[@sgingsul]

This demo is absolutely amazing. You just shared the whole of your watercolor painting technique and the materials you used. Thank you very much for your sharing.

[@mariorobertoserranov]

Muchísimas gracias apreciable maestro Álvaro Castagnet, excelente demostración, totalmente genuina, auténtica como pocas demasiado artificiales con retoques que impiden ver los retos de trabajar en forma realista y honesta como lo ha compartido de manera increíble para poder explicar la acuarela con toda su belleza y tremendas dificultades que encierra en sí la técnica y desafíos, retos y sobre todo, buscando sobre la marcha increíbles soluciones artísticas... aprecio mucho y hoy he aprendido procesos de gran valor para mi propio avance como amante que soy de la acuarela por lo que soy seguidor de su hermosa trayectoria. Desde Guatemala, mi atento saludo para augurarle larga vida y más éxitos como artista y como maestro que a través de estas demostraciones comparte mucho de su increíble experiencia.

[@JoseRamirez-hk5qd]

Que alegre saber que tenemos amantes de la acuarela en mi bello país Guatemala. Saludos Mario Roberto de un chapín de corazón 🖒🖒

[@mariorobertoserranov]

Jose Ramirez: Gracias José, saludos y mi celular es 55394545 🤗

[@JoseRamirez-hk5qd]

[@milosmihajlovic1867]

You are a master of watercolors and your energy radiates positively, but I think that Dusan Djukaric is currently the best and leading watercolorist in the world, what he does with watercolors is mastery of the highest level and hardly anyone will surpass him, although, with all due respect, best regards. .

[@damjangruev169]

I have been watching every Video of Alvaro's demos and Im still watching and waiting almost every time from him to say the one and only " u r thinking I'm making a disaster, but at the end will become a masterpiece " and I'm laughing till the very end. GREAT Alvaro, what an ART of entertainer BRAVO. There is one more " this GUY is very enigmatic LADY" hahahhaha what a MASTER, beautiful.

[@rocioruiz3025]

Your painting is pure intuition, I love it! I understand why you are a fantastic painter! Thank you!!!!!

[@rosarebada4777]

Man, I really enjoyed your presentation! You were transparent in your thought processes and your emotions. I marveled at your proficiency and talent. Loved the work. I've been to Paris; I've worked with watercolors. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Please do more.

[@jeffreykasbohm7685]

That was Excellent! The observations and reacting to what was painted, then observing, then adjusting -- really got to see some of your process. Fantastico!!

[@renatoarrue511]

Gracias por su entrega es muy valiosa. Genial lo que recibimos. Renato, desde Chile.

[@tammyclark1207]

Bienvenue!!! ALVARO CASTAGNET....Merci Beaucoup. Tienes Muy Bonita Aquarella Pintura. Bonjour, I am here in New York City today, originally from California USA, but currently stationed in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. I LOVE plein AIR watercolor..... Castagnet you are Magnifico. Hope to see you soon. I saw your workshop here in Santa Barabra, California (2022).... I.hope it went well. America is tough. But it can be DONE.

[@cpetri766]

Thanks Alvaro, it was so much fun and enjoyment watching your live demo! I really appreciate all your great teaching over the years and it has had a huge impact on my art.

[@reasonableification]

Thank you for sharing your time, talent and your thoughts as you work. Beautiful!

[@filbertpicobrain]

It is amazing how your painting comes together. In the beginning, the painting looks like a failure, but as I watch something really cool is created. Thank you for this demonstration, sir.

[@polinaprianykova3376]

Thank you much for this live demo☺️it’s lovely👍I know I’ll be rewatching it again and again🤎

[@JustinPunio]

Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you Alvaro for this masterclass!

[@janielafortune8011]

Thank you very much for the demo! Very authentic! It's incredible to see the painting evolve.

[@emilioromerorueda2621]

Gracias Álvaro por tu generosidad. Gracias maestro.

[@1pritzel]

Alvaro, thank you SO MUCH for your FREE demo. Your work is totally inspiring and extremely skilful! Masterful anticipation and timing of the paint/brush control. Stay Safe...🤞👏👏

[@lemercredidessinges1]

Quando guardiamo complessivamente l'opera straordinaria di questo artista ci si chiede perplessi perchè non apre una galleria d'arte a Firenze o a Roma o a Venezia ! Nessuno come lui possiede il sentimento del tono urbano, del colore, il guizzo, lo scatto, la sciabolata (come quando si stappa lo Champagne con la sciabola) ;un incredibile talento della sintesi per accidente, nella complessità urbana delle nostre disgraziate metropoli ! C'è molto da dire su questo artista a suo modo un colorista sensibilissimo (vero maestro dei grigi colorati) nel solco dell'impressionismo moderno, contemporaneo . Lui e altri ( tutti amici) inaugurano una interelazione nuova (marketing) tra artista e fruitore "ragardeur" ben al di là della consueta complicità che si installa quando l'illusione ottica della sintesi richiede all'occhio del pubblico di completare l'opera ! Avrei tantissimo da raccontare su questo artista ma purtroppo il tempo è tiranno, forse in futuro muovero per lui un autentico caposcuola un corposo cenno critico che ne celebri la grandezza. Buon lavoro grande.

[@dianemannion2724]

Ahhh, loved this! Thank you, Alvaro! You rule watercolor!

[@lisbethmacdonald6452]

Maestro Álvaro saludos, soy profesional en artes visuales pinto hace ya varios años claro no tan buena como quisiera , no me pierdo video donde este ,me encanta el dominio que tiene de la acuarela y sus charlas al transmitir todo lo que vive entorno a este mundo, quisiera lograr eso cuando dice que usted antes de pintar una obra ya la realizo en su cabeza ,esa experticia es de pocos, gracias por compartir, muchos éxitos mas.

[@Luis_D_Ruiz]

No sufras Alvaro. Estoy seguro que para todos nosotros, lo que da valor a este video son tus pensamientos y comentarios. Gracias por tus acuarelas tan impresionistas, eres una autentica inspiración.

[@georgeisshak4878]

Thank you for a great teaching demo,explaining the structure and basis of your method.

[@divonoartista9904]

Il bello del acquerello è non insistere con i dettagli qui è un perfetto esempio, l'unica cosa forse non c'era bisogno le pennellate delle nuvole, Grazie sei un grande maestro.

[@michellaval7302]

Super démo Alvaro ! J'aimerais bien pouvoir faire des aquarelles comme la tienne, même si on la juge catastrophique dans la première partie 🤣😂 mais tu la transforme magistralement en une oeuvre d'art que l'on a envie de regarder et revoir. Ton style me plais. Un vrai plaisir, Merci.

[@esperanzamartin8392]
