I was always taught "Straight lines are there for duty ,Curved lines are there for Beauty" Great vid as always! Thank you.

[@robhaidheuch]

Thanks for confirming I have been on the right track as I continue on my journey of understanding how to approach my own painting. I only disovered the existence of the Angel School in Florence today. I failed to be accepted as a student at Glasgow School of Art back in the 1970s, but I'm glad now I was rejected as I suspect my love of classical Art would have been crushed by the school. I had assumed , in my naivety, that access to that school would have trained me in the methods of the Old Masters.

[@anthonycarlson9355]

I love how you make complex theories easy to understand. I bought your portrait painting video and I love it. Afterwards I found your KZbin channel and it feels like bonus material. If anyone out there is contemplating buying his painting video and is scared by the price. Do it! You will not be disappointed. He explains painting portraits in the same easy to understand way as all of these KZbin videos. Cesar I love your KZbin channel. I am so glad I bought your painting video, I have learned so much. Keep it up please.

[@santocesart]

anthony carlson Thank you for those words. Glad I can help! Cheers!

[@divinedia]

I agree he’s amazing at simplifying old masters techniques and classical realism

[@prichardgs]

Thank you, professor! I find your instruction invaluable -I mean that.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Cesar, maestro, this is brilliant - even more so than your other usual super brilliant vlogs. Please let's keep trying to make the modern Realists conceive of their ideas visually, rather than (mistakenly) thinking that the simple Narrative statement is enough. Paintings are made of coloured shapes (coloured shapes are their basic vocabulary), and today's Realists have to realise that their job is to manipulate, group and design these shapes into a pattern that pushes the Narrative into the viewer's consciousness. This is called Pictorial Composition and is only taught, these days, at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. Bravo, caro mio!! Sei un grande davvero!

[@santocesart]

Michael John Angel Maestro!!! Thank you! And respect!! It's true most of this information I leared while studying with you. See you soon... in May. GO ANGEL ACADEMY

[@elsagrace3893]

Michael John Angel narratives attached to art are BULLSHIT!

[@LaoZi2023]

@@elsagrace3893 Two year old response, but why do you feel attaching a narrative to art is bullshit?

[@mamak8853]

Thank-you for your great blog Cesar. Your genuine passion for your craft makes you easy to listen to.

[@Kaalokalawaia]

Absolutely loved your walkthrough art history.

[@carmona_design]

Absolutely on point. Artist's eye with combined with heart and intellect.

[@tsancheteresa758]

Extraordinario artista.!! Grande maestro!! Me gusta mucho su trabajo. Le boy a seguir viendo sus vídeos ..Le escribo en español porque sé que usted es cubano, y en su tierra hablan el castellano . Bueno, maestro le felicito.

[@ncorva]

Wow, beautiflly explained, clear and with a lot of passion. You are the best Cesar! Love your work and your videos.

[@mandolinmountain]

Thank you Cesar and thank you San Diego Museum!

[@elsef6798]

[@PeterQuentercrimsonbamboo]

Fabulous!! What a fine, informative, and insightful tour you have given us ! Thank you for sharing your understanding of art!

[@unoperez912]

Cesar, I discovered your channel about 6 months ago and I wanna thank you for the knowledge and advice you share with us. Youre the best! :) Thank you!

[@JohannaHattner]

Amazingly explained! There's indeed so much to learn from the old masters. Very nice tour, thanks a lot!

[@rodline9027]

Listening to you talk about art is incredibly inspiring. You really need to do a book for artists on how to look at art and the ask the important questions one should be considering when viewing a piece. In this video you are giving me questions I might never have thought to ask about a piece.

[@rodline9027]

david bryan I agree. I also think there is a academic,theoretical way to approach looking at art. It's different, more through a learning lens... if that makes sense. Thanks for replying

What a wonderful masterclass! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time.

[@TheSeeka]

Absolutely superb Cesar! Great explanation from an artist of quality and substance. More please!

[@MaryThompson63]

I love these talks about art theory & history. Thanks!

[@brendadoyle643]

So inspiring. It has been said so many times in other comments, but alas, this is exactly what this video has done for me. So passionate. What a great video for art history that won’t be forgotten!! Art teachers - take note!!

[@MRBRIANBATISTA]

This is absolutely fantastic Cesar! 🏆💘🎨

[@antoniofellini5484]

Fantástica lección. Muchas gracias Cesar Santos.

[@artbyshackleton3270]

Wonderful video Cesar, and very succinct history of art. I learnt a lot from this. Thank you.

[@edthewave]

Thank you so much for this! Your commentary is fantastic. I wish more instructors were as knowledgeable and articulate as you. It's amazing how many visual artists DON'T KNOW about the development of compositional techniques throughout history.

[@soroushnajarsaleh9898]

One of the best vlogs you've already done. ❤

[@watchvids7802]

Art history, as told by a painter. The world very much needed to know about this perspective!

Thank you Cesar, I live in Europe and near great Museus those I often visite, but I have never seen so much as you do in these old paintings.I just admire them but have never learned anything from it.You has helped me to push my limitations in seeing through a true artistically way of observation.

[@heiferTV]

This channel is a great discovery i made today. Excellent. Gracias por compartir tu maestría.

[@nancyshell2855]

I am a disabled artist that never had the opportunity to go to school thank you for you great explanations and examples. Your explanations and historical examples make incorporating these importance artistic values into our painting practice- practical and possible. Thank you for your series it is well crafted indeed.

[@gayesekula]

This is excellent! Thank you, Cesar!

[@vinibustamante]

[@TheIzary]

Really interesting! Thanks for taking your time to explain us everything!

[@mrinalsainani7312]

This was great! Thankyou for the simplified explanation.

Extreme late reaction, just seeing this now and wanted to thank you for this vlog. Because feel like I have learned more in this than my last two years of art history classes together! Thanks man, you make me eager to learn again and keep practicing!

[@rodrigolima3d]

Amazing video. You inspire me a lot with this channel. Keep this work!

[@0fleur0de0lis0]

Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts! They landed in my ears just when I needed them the most!😊 It’s been a while since I have last found something that useful and new to me about painting on the internet! And part of what should be the basics every painter should know. Funny, huh? Thank you, thank you, you’re a gem of a soul! ❤️

[@100cpd]

Awesome video! I have taken so much from this in such a short time. Thank you

[@davidheath4836]

Awesome video full of valuable information thank you for sharing

[@chrisward1008]

Thanks for this vlog. I got a lot out of this. Your knowledge is great and I'm very grateful that you share it with us.

[@marionvandenbosch]

Thank you so much for this art class :-) greetings from The Netherlands.

[@jrg7951]

Thank for posting this, all excellent points and you are an excellent teacher. I always liked the stage-like lighting in the old master paintings. The figures almost look like they are in the spotlight against the dark backgrounds.

[@klausgasser]

This was almost a perfect summary of a the chapter „Tone and color design“ from Harold Speeds „Oil painting techniques and materials“ I was reading today. Just 10 times less dry and more fun! :) Great information!

[@thondupandrugtsang]

Wow man! I'm finally getting to appreciate and get a rudimentary grasp of what Cesar is saying.

[@williambo5989]

thank you. hope to see more of these

[@rickyvilla9213]

Im in Love With César Santos!

[@neeruda1980]

It is always a delight to watch your videos which are highly educational and rich with knowledge. Your works are incomparable and a story in themselves. I wish to meet you in person someday to enlighten myself in my creative pursuit. Thanks a ton for sharing this video.

[@ManuelLopez-ph6nc]

Cesar all your videos are amazing but this one really raised the bard

[@lindamclean8809]

Thank you for your videos....I believe art in general needs an injection of the skills of the old masters
