Painting a Muse, Artistic Freedom. Cesar Santos vlog 052

Check out about thirty of my paintings using the same model and muse, Ashley Morissette. Artistic freedom means you can alter the subject to fit your narrative.
It is not uncommon for some Artists to use the same model for different artworks, here are mine!

She is amazingly painterly and I can see why you can not stop painting her! Great find and beautiful work you have produced :)

[@anthonyrodriguez4055]

Ashley is beautiful! How can you not make a great painting with her?!

[@jasonsykes4199]

[@daikayll1897]

Thankyou Cesar. I understand now. Understand my blockage of production. My thoughts are crammed full of ever changing scenarios. Should of been a film director me thinks but painting is my bag and this video has burst open a door that I , myself , have been holding closed. Hwyl from Wales. Love your work.

[@AspLode]

A beautiful muse and a living master, name a more iconic duo. Blessings to you both.

[@sandormcarthur9453]

[@PeterChorao]

[@Billionaireben]

Does Ashley model for a living or only for Cesar?

[@tystricklandart]

Hey Cesar, I have a question. So I have worked over the last 8 months on portraits in oil, and I’ve gotten pretty good with alla prima, as well as classical drawing such as Bargue drawings and vanderpoel plates, anyway, my question was I’m trying to use your palette and gathered techniques from your videos but can’t really get it right, any tips?

[@BhaveshPatel-rt1pv]

Cesar is gret

[@Nutricionismo463]

one day i will tattoo you!

[@mr.artistpalwe2732]

PLzz can you give a demo of alla prima Portrait

[@yazmoz9863]

No video this week?

[@jeremiaszbojanowski8595]

Love ❤

[@atenakehnaton3965]

Mr. Santos I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question but I wasn't sure where to ask. I saw you have a figure painting DVD set for sale, I own the portrait painting DVD set and I wanted to know what's in that video that isn't already in the portrait painting set. I'm thinking about getting it but I don't know what more I would need that wasn't already stated in the dvd set I already own.

[@luiseduardo9447]

hermoso trabajo, pero como latino me gustaria que tus videos lmenos tuvieran traductor en español, gracias y saludes desde colombia

[@lanayashina]

I totally have people i can paint over and over again. There's just something about certain faces.

[@fbpliegorrivero8869]

También para incomodar, podríamos ver un poco menos de ti y un poco más de tu obra. Saludos y felicitaciones. Excelente trabajo!

[@joseromerocastrillom3321]

Señor tire esos videos en español.tanvien.🤷‍♂️

[@Ricardo_io]

where´s the moose?

[@Anson120]

Dont tell me She is not single.

[@coldpaint1537]

spanish rap plz

[@sarahwoods1371]

🐒

[@caart6317]

You should paint our gorgeous First Lady Melania Trump. She is very beautiful and her face is amazing.

[@Victoria-oe4mt]

she's gross like her husband

[@NorthSouthEast]

Dude ur really exceptional I luv ur presentations as much as ur incredible art. I wish though u would give a talk on the mechanics of painting. Hand eye coordination. Hand and finger control. The basic mechanics that make ur art possible.

[@ShawNshawN]

Very cool how you used this friend from HS into new ideas of Syncretism. I liked how you play off the classical painting with a new interpretation.
