Drawing and Painting at the Angel Academy of Art. Cesar Santos vlog 056

[@baileybateman2338]

I love how passionate Cesar is. He's already been through this academy, he knows every single piece of information that man is saying, but the focus and enjoyment on his face is like he's taking it in for the first time. Cesar will forever be a student of the arts and THAT is why he's a master.

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Well said! Very much agree.

[@deborahgonzalezknight168]

He's also very irritating.

[@Eizengoldt]

He’s a very smart and passionate guy, reminds me of myself sometimes

[@ammiller3911]

Thank you for posting this, as someone who will not have access to this level of education, just listening to great instructors is invaluable.

[@PHeMoX]

@Keep Rocking! True, but a lot of those are not exactly affordable, even when they are considered by most to be worth it. ;)

[@nananina982]

@Keep Rocking! Apprarently you don't understand living in a 3rd world country where your parents earn $5700 a year . A year at the angel academy costs $4,783 and that's just the tuition you also have to pay for the housing, living, and material supplies .

[@christiancotugno8651]

@@nananina982 a year at angel cost $12600 ...4,783 is only for one term

[@abigailjones9868]

@@christiancotugno8651 Huge investment, not too bad either. Private universities here in USA usually range $20-50 k year. Sometimes though your choices aren’t for yourself it’s making sure your future family will be taken care of, so you must minimize risk and take a more attainable profession at a cheaper school.

[@christiancotugno8651]

@@abigailjones9868 i konw , in usa is normal , for my country ( italy) one of the best private education cost about 10k year,but usually a person pay 400-700 dollar for year of tution.

Bravo Cesar, another great vlog!!! And bravo Jered, you explained our programme very well indeed.

@@santocesart Hi! I was at the Immersive Van Gogh experience. Here in Nyc. I told my bf. I was imagining,more like hoping. You, and like @Proko to show up and start sketching on site! I did notice a girl. Writing notes, she took down your name. To look up your channel.

Wonderful that such an academy exists. Truly the classic way to learn to paint.

I've heard the thing I needed to hear but didn't know I needed it : It's about suggesting some informations things and not just put every details to show everything. Thanks a lot for that !

[@symmachus898]

[@LoneStarRocker]

I wish to visit Italy someday. Thank you Cesar for another insightful and informative video.

[@brannonmcclure6970]

I appreciate that. What an insite and I am interested. One day I would love to come out to your school.

[@thedavegoodman]

Great info! I need to figure out how to get practice like this while being a husband and Dad. Little by little is suppose. Doing what I can is better than not doing anything at all. Thank you for offering this elite artistic knowledge to a guy like me, who would otherwise not progressed further in his artistic endeavors. You and Proko are my jams. High five ✋🏼

[@squirrelnuts007]

Like you I am trying to balance my drive for this skill with family & work responsibilities. The biggest hurdle is my own doubt of this been achievable. Having feedback from an accomplished artist is key to see the mistakes you are unaware of making. Looking into online schools now, have learnt a lot from doing master copies, numerous books, proko, doing my best to practice in a smart way.

[@eafahgewthrthertsdetr]

Wow it was very nice to have this bird's eye view on art/studying/mastery as a whole. Thank you for uploading this conversation!

[@m.i.miller8008]

I love this video... I can't stop watching this.... it somehow gives me inspiration that with hard work you can learn and study to attain the level you so desire in your art journey. I can't stand it when people say how so and so was born with talent...ugh... how about that person worked their tail off and persevered to attain that level. .. Thank you for making it and sharing it. I certainly was not born with talent but daily I see improvement with the time I put in daily pushing the pencil...

[@rogermari7489]

Excellent, thanks. I wish one day to visit the academy.

[@claudiajohnson8799]

It's true! Jered is an awesome teacher! He is patient and encouraging, while challenging us to reach a higher level! Thank you, Cesar, for putting up this video. I was shocked to see you at Zecchi when I first arrived.

[@deborahgonzalezknight168]

It's endless hours of practice following techniques and months of life drawing.

[@Rembrandt133]

@@deborahgonzalezknight168 I wonder how many students per year...still, they are only showing you the best of the best especially on their website. The Florence Academy of Art seems to show all the students works if not most and so, it does not look as flawless as the few that are up on Angel Academy's website. In every class there are a couple outstanding individuals that the Academy wants to show the public.

[@Thesamurai1999]

@@Rembrandt133 Aye, there’s a whole lot of failings included, even among the prodigies.

[@guayaba209]

God, i'd love to do one year at that school. I bet the growth would be immense.

[@Meticularius]

Ohhh Cesar, you and the Academy have shown me up to be the hack that I am, this instrument of sensitive vision, perception, insight, truth....the brush superior to my words. For so many years I have lived under the tyranny of words, exulted in them, never knowing the depths and intricacies of painting. I never even suspected there was so much involved, and now my stick figures fear losing their preeminence. as I seek to be a painter. I don't have that many years left, but I can scrawl or dribble what I can until the end. Thank you for this insight into the Academy and for the discussion with Jared Woznicky. Now I have no arrogance.

[@pennytrupiano2689]

Very cool...a very consistent ability to teach and students that know how to masterfully produce. What a dream it would be to study in Florence.

[@patrickwelch3274]

Not fair. How can I compete against this level of work . When you graduate from here you are a professional artist. Amazing training.

Hey Cesar, thank you for this talk with Jered. It was really awesome.

[@blackcat138]

I would love to join an art academy of this caliber one day, but for now I've got to keep learning on my own. Sometimes I wonder if leaving my eight hours a day job in order to pursue art worth it ...

[@hamodsq272]

blackcat138 same.

[@NS56sn]

From someone in the process of doing just that I suggest trying to get your name and work out into your community and online first. Then once your income starts to stabilize drop back in hours at your day job. Then once your income matches your current leave said job. I’m “almost” there myself. Hope this helps 😁

Oscar Perez you right..thank you

[@ksuhuh]

I feel your pain. You could try some summer workshops at the AA or FAA. I did one at FAA Sweden this summer, learned more in a week than I did in 5 years experimenting on my own. Basically trying stuff on your own is only as good as your ability to criticize yourself. I really needed to hear where I was overcomplicating things and where I was lacking. Just get some decent bargue prints (watch the davinci project videos on KZbin for crystal clear bargue drawing instructions on a full drawing). After you've done some, buy or create some plaster casts and practice drawing and later painting those. Also nicholas beer wrote a good book on sight size portraiture. Lighting without those amazing skylights is also easily solved by hanging 2 80watt cfl 5000-5500k lights at a 30° angle to your canvas off of your ceiling. It's by no means a replacement for a proper 3-4 year atelier training, but hey, it's better than doing nothing. I figure if we ever win the lottery, at least we'll have a small head start right? 😁

[@marcellustone]

Dutch Bushcraft Guy --- great tips, thanks. Could you give me more infos for the lightning. Are you talking about those long bulbs or the smaller spiral ones. And how many lumens per watt do they have. Thanks

[@moisescervantes3801]

Thankyou so much Cesar

[@Xqrement]

I think the closest we can get to learn the techniques they teach on this academy is by getting Cesar Santos DVDs he studied there so the techniques applied must be the same. That and a good video course/book on charcoal drawing plus some books about anatomy, perspective , color/light, composition,and of course lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of practice. Phew, who the hell said being an artist was easy?

[@santocesart]

I think they just require, your willingness and money. They'll teach what they know.

[@volkantum]

In every city there should be buildings dedicated to creative minds for free (free of all the pressures of the monetary system) and must be open day and night. In time all will be an academy of art and science on their own. And that one building may be chosen from the biggest and most beautiful museums of that city which are nearly idle for centuries just demonstrating the past, but should be at creatives' service right now for a much efficient future. Such "School of Athens" like places will enrich the future of humankind and also for our planet.
