Drawing Mt.Rushmore in Pencil, Painting a Landscape in Oils. VanLife Projects. Cesar Santos vlog 106
#mtrushmore #vanlife
Continuing our VanLife Projects, we drove to Mt. Rushmore for a close and attentive observation of the majestic Monument. I drew the founding fathers in pencil from life in the park. Back to camp I decided to paint the landscape I could see from our van window. We have admired many landscapes from the back window of the van so I wanted to show you this view. Had some time for climbing some rocks too!!!!

Nice I have never seen someone draw Mt.Rushmore
Enjoying following you as you explore the beauty of America.
Bless you Cesar. I'm so glad you came here. Your love and appreciation of our country makes my heart sing. Your travel around the country gives me an opportunity to visit places I can't actually go now & your art & explanations teach me so much. When you're done with your tour you should make it all into a large art book. Cesar Santos' America or America Through the Art of Cesar Santos. I realize you two are regular mountain goats, but please be careful out there! 🙈 Some of your climbing & leaps were... Heart stopping.
Meraviglioso come sempre sei bravissimo complimenti.
Addictive. The more you draw, the more you want to draw. 😁 I take my sketchbook everywhere I go. Practice, practice, practice!
Really enjoying your trip. Can't wait for more videos
Oh.. what a nice landscape filling is.. Amazing effect..🎨
I was impressed with how carefully you worked. You really showed how you get the proportions and tone correct. And there is no way around that other than hard work.
Awesome! Enjoy. Stay safe and stay free 🇺🇸❤️
Excellent! Thanks for the video and and sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge.
My favorite chanellll everrr
Like you Cesar, I drove across America and Mt. Rushmore was by far they highlight of my trip. Love your work and philosophy. Thank you sir for the inspiration in all of your videos!
You are always so inspiring. Than you.
Wow you illuminated parts of the sculpture I never noticed before!
This has been one of my favorite videos. There is so much variety within a relatively short time span. The editing of the video is great too. I really like to spot you found and the painting perspective from inside the VAN. Have fun, stay safe and continue sharing. Love from Miami
Completely awesome and the first time I have seen gesso in a spray can
Beautiful work
I can definitely see some progression in your landscape paintings since the first day on the road👍🏻😉
You're living Master Mr. Santos Your Art Philosophy is really inspiring
I can only imagine how serine it would feel to be at such a famous monument with such few tourists due to covid. As a fellow artist the very idea is getting me excited!
Grew up there. When I was a kid there were no restrictions to this, we used to play up there all the time.
LOVE FROM IRELAND CESAR
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
I wanna visit there one day. I wanna go paint in Yellowstone too
uuuuuu maestro!! eres una inspiración para la gente latina master!!!!
Impressive. I’ve been spending many hours with you snd your wife. Love the hands. I mean this Cezar you have the hands of a surgeon. Soft, accurate. I can duplicate most of what I see( with one eye) but no chance replicating your stroke. Please give your wife some breaks . She has to be a very patient women.
Thank you for posting about your adventures, Cesar. It's very inspiring to me. Thank you.
Great view from the mobile studio, can't wait for the next one
Very nice sir. 😊❤🎨🖌
Love your work, energy and positive outlook brother. Been enjoying your journey across America. Thanks for sharing with us
Always amazing you can draw from so far up the pencil. Great place to draw from.
Thanks for sharing our park and painting.
Enjoy 😉
I love these videos. If you have time, drive through Custer State Park and see the buffalo (bison). (Usually they will be within a few feet of you.) It's amazing and would make great paintings! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Nice drawing and painting! Looks like fun! Man, I should have tried this before I had kids! 😂

Awesome! I love watching your videos.
Hola hermano. Love your art journey across America.
Querido Cesar: ése murmullo de lápices al caer me tienta a volver a dibujar, es muy inspirador lo tuyo, te felicito.
Great commentary about your sketching process, capturing the essence rather than specific detail. Guessing most of us would be happy with that level of ability. Wow, gesso in a spray can. Any good? Guessing it gives an even coat.
La verdad me ha inspirado el video, es interesante ver como te enfrentas a distintos subjects.
big fan of your work and voutube video's. I saw in the face on the right first Robert Redford and the he became Warren Beatty. I'm sure they are more recent founding fathers. :-D
Nice to see you master
I'm glad you got to draw it before it gets taken down.

Show 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like you Cesar, you seem like a nice guy
Painting Jordan Peterson, drawing Rushmore... nicely but quietly telling us about yourself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Oh cool, first comment!
If you happen to pass thru Huron on your way out, there's some amazing little restaurants--Thai, Karen, and enormous burrifongo at the Caribbean shop
cool
oi cesar! pelo seu sotaque imagino que seja no brasileiro, hehe espero ter acertado
I was just thinking 🤔... when the sculptor(s) of Mt Rushmore backed up to check out the whole piece to make sure it was looking right, did they have to hike a mile every time? 😂
I come to watch him rap.
Vorrei conoscere quei tre a cui non è piaciuto il video😜
Wow Gesso in spray!?

Hi Cesar. I am Brazilian and I would like to know If you have vídeos with automatic tranlation to spanish or portuguese? Tks
What brand is the sketchbook? Thank you.
We all know that the disgusting figureheads that are carved into this mountain are a bunch of criminals and land stealers. Lets not glorify these demons. On another note love your channel Cesar!

Thanks for the love. I've lived in other countries for years and this is the only one allowing immigrants to really build their dreams. I wouldn't look at the worse in people but the best in them, and they created the best and most charitable nation on earth. Yes we can all be better.

@@santocesart Hi Cesar! I couldn't agree on this. This can not be entirely true when to this day immigrants are being abused and marginalised.. today as we speak! by the government and common Americans (not all). Lastly the America we know today was built on the back of struggle and suffering. So it is wrong to even say that I can be polite and agree with you. Regardless, still got love for your art and channel!

@@earthq3945 it's ok if you don't agree. It is my experience. Immigrants are free to go back if they were better off in their place of origin. There is no mass immigration out of this country, allways in. The media is making us focus on the worse examples as if it was the norm. It is not. Look around your immediate environment. Not around the same circulating stories through a phone.

I enjoy all your videos. They are inspiring and provide valuable insight into the thoughts and craft of an artist. However, having learned about our nation's treatment of Native Americans I cannot admire Mt. Rushmore. It's a marvelous sculpture but never should have been put in that place.

I see, the difference is that I like to focus on the positive side of what is, not on the negative of what should have been. Thanks for wanting the best.
