Thank you! I love starting with "it's not good enough," because it takes the pressure off and I'm not as hard on myself. It's helped me get started instead of procrastinating. Love your work and approach. Thanks for sharing!
January 29th 2023 Sunday Hi my name is Philip 66 years of age live in UK, Been looking at many TH-cam painting sites found yours this morning I am self -taught.I appreciate your straightforward approach and the time you take to to explain your methods and I appreciate the 1 1/2 hour shows gives me time to follow your on my canvas keep up the great work and thank you 👍
AMAZING THANK U SOOOOO MUCH YOUR EXPLINATION WAS EASY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AND IM SO HAPPY I LOOK FRORWARD TO PAINTING NOW i was getting so frustrated with painting they dont explain at all like u do can so relate to what u r saying its so fun oainting along with u itried to get on patreon years ago and did not think you did step by step tutorials i looked but maybe its a new thing your doing but im thankfull thanks
Hi Joe... Betty here (your same birthday lady). * Remember I said you were going to be very famous for your work some day? It's been awhile sense I watched you paint. You say your nerves are shaking now... that's not good... I'll pray for you. * WOW... but your work is still the greatest... even IMPROVED!! * I would love to watch your usual painting methods, but with out having to stop to explain every little detail. it seems MAGICAL to watch YOU in particular to paint your scenes & bring them to life... I could watch you paint all day but with out interupting your progress with a lot of unnecessary questions. * I'm a WATCHER... I can learn much quicker by just watching a painting in progress. * God bless you mural Joe and stay safe!! 😏⚘
Hi Joe, I have been watching your videos for years. Your ability to make big paintings is truly masterful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I usually work on much smaller canvas. When I have to work on a larger canvas, i have to constantly pay attention to the balance and had to make many adjustments before I was done. You seem to do it at ease. I am glad that I can learn from you.
I so appreciate all of the wisdom you are sharing. How light and colour behaves when light is reflecting or passing through something!! 🤯 Mindblow! It must have taken so much time observing nature and light. That kind of wisdom is not earthly. I am going to practice that. I have to think people are watching your videos that aren’t subscribing. Don’t be moved by the numbers. You have way more followers, I am sure. You can’t give these kinds of tutorials and not be followed by way more people. I have been wanting to do landscapes and water scenes for so long and have been watching so many tutorials and you have broken it down better than anyone out there. Not to say I understand all that you have explained but I’m rewatching until I do. It’s a new way of thinking about the subject and I’m so grateful. Thank you. Peace!
an enjoyed teacher,he is so informative and human, describing his shaky hands really hit home I shared this with my daughter-in-law who is learning to paint..
When you said to take the pressure off yourself and plan on creating garbage, essentially to go forward in a learning mode, that was the best advice I have ever heard. Thank you. You are a good man and an obviously very talented artist.
I was struggling with my seascape, I have a difficult to painting waves at large sea, away from shores. Building a wave in rough sea, where I paint under less sky lights, cold colors, Atlantic dark waves. In a Tropical sea I got it.
To qualify my last comment, my having to watch the video two more times is not a reflection of your ability to teach this! This is an excellent video. There is a lot of information and my memory won’t retain it all!
Painting water is hard for me and watching you I know will help me because you explicitly explain how to paint it and how to mix the colors. Thank you so much. Your an expert artist; I love to learn from you teachings.
Love you straightforward, non esoteric methodology. The combination of great talent, ability to teach and to be entertaining is not common. You are so gifted and the world of learners is so lucky!
Must tell you I had just returned from Galveston; just hated to leave. While there I tried to “draw” the waves. For me drawing involves focused seeing, not necessarily producing a perfect rendering, but a deeper knowledge of the subject. Along with coming away with only a vague sense of what I was trying was the idea I wouldn’t be returning to Galveston any time soon. Quite happily I turned on TH-cam and there was wonderful you, marvelously painting the sea! You are an exceptional fellow…not just your artwork. Don’t fret the little hand tremble, being nervous, shy, whatever. There has to be some limit to how fine one person can be. Now that I’ve wrecked your humility, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing the gifts God has given you.
I am a self taught artist, and was graced with the talents and natural skills, but the techs that you use are amazing and learnable more than any other I have been trying to learn from. I enjoy the Real help with all the awesome techs. Thank you Mural Joe. SheilaBug
Thank you, Joe. I'm from New Zealand and just stated dabbling with paints earlier this year. This video is awesome - I'm sure my water painting will improve. Thank you for you humility and the great advice to love what we're doing with freedom. After all, art is a personal perspective and we're individuals. Love your video's. Good luck with your TV channel. Much love from NZ
Thank you Joe! I love your detail and passion you put in all your videos, so selfless, its always such a pleasure to watch and learn from you and you videos are so fun. Love ya
Always appreciate your art and free giving Joe, you are such a saint. LOL. There's one most important thing I learn in the video, which is that you inspired me to enjoy painting without worrying too much about the result. Thank you! I'll share the channel with more people and spread your positive energy!
Your videos that I purchased are worth their weight in gold. Thank you so very much for all that you share! You are an excellent teacher. I’m turning a big corner in my life as an artist because of your instruction. Many thanks and I wish you continued success!!
I watch video after video but always come back to "Mural Joe" you are an amazing Artist and a compassionate guy who understands that "money" can be the reason we do not pursue our dream. I left College due to that reason, I was going for Fine Art. I have been trying to make up for that for years. I am finally starting to learn some skills. My fascination is with the Ocean and Sky. So thank you for your wonderful videos on these subjects. Love ya !
Joe, you have nothing you be nervous about. You are the most amazing artist and truly the best teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and explanation with great detail. Even explaining science behind of everything.
Thank you for your kindness and love for people. Your art speaks volumes! You and Stevie Nicks are on my bucket list. ---That is to meet you! Cindy Baker
Do more lives Joe. I JUST found you and I'm binge watching you. The BEST!!!!! Edit: I have shaking hands for no reason at all, but your shyness is super cute.
I really like what you've come up with using light spectrum to influence pigment choices. Mixing paint vs. mixing light. I love how red and green light makes yellow. (Traffic stop lights~ red, yellow green) Understanding the 🌈 rainbow ROYGBIV has been revolutionary to technology and has been studied again and again. Your color theory technique, which is the first time I've ever heard of this approach and is just brilliant. Just want to thank you for your innovative thinking, beautiful art, generous heart and excellent teaching. It makes the world a better place. Sincerely, Randy Chavez SFAI Allum Also, I spent a lot of time controlling my breathing and concentrating on keeping my hands from shaking, I think if you focus on consciously making a deliberate effort to relax and breath you may be able to stop the shaking. It has work for stopping my legs and feet from shaking and even from snoring, just by focusing on whatever it is you want to stop and just breathe. You need to come up with a good name for your discovery and get it out there. It is really great Sincerely, Randy Chavez
Thank you Joe, your tutorials are so helpful! I love learning from you. You say you are shy but you do such a wonderful job of teaching those , like myself, who are self taught. I have learned so much from you and certainly appreciate your determination to transfer your knowledge to the rest of us in such a casual manner. Please continue just as you are because you are wonderful!
Hi Joe, I've been following you for a longtime. Thank you for posting this video. I paint myself but never have taken a painting class. They way you explain things is very simple and I can follow. Jen
This video made SO much more sense regarding painting waves I’ve ever heard! Thank you for the detailed explanations. I’m sure I will watch this at least two more times, probably more!
Your amazing and thank you for sharing your gift! You are the best teacher I have ever seen, because you explain everything as you go! I have learned so much from you! Amazing! Please don't ever stop?❤️
Thank you, brother! Beautiful work! I've been learning a lot from you and plan on purchasing some tutorial videos soon! Praise be to God in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!
Great videos Joe. What an Incredible mind You have. The fact that You can communicate Your thought processes in picture form is fascinating to say the least. Anyone can call themself an "artist" but Your skills stretch far beyond such a simple title. Well done Sir. Best Wishes from Scotland
You are absolutely awesome!! So talented and I love how carefully you describe and explain your techniques to all of us. Thank you so much, you are a blessing to us!!
You are such a wonderful human being, we are all a little bit shy but that's what makes us human, emotions, and i love people who are still able to express them . Thank you for all the wonderful knowledge you are sharing, i learned a looot.. Hugs from Romania ! 🤗
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been struggling to reproduce proper waves. This series of videos is extremely helpful. Thanks. Liked & Subscribed.
Thank you. This is the best advice, do not worry about as to how the painting will turn out to be. My best paintings are when I tell myself if it does not turn out good I will throw it away or better still give it to someone I don't like. Then I just relax and paint and try out every technique I want to and voila, a masterpiece. Thank you. Great learning. 👍🏻👏👍🏻
Nooo not boring, but absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing your talent with me. I never learned to draw, but now even better I can paint. I am now painting an acrylic painting 36"x24" of the Brooklyn Bridge and will be using your way of painting the waves on the water of the Hudson River, minus the bodies floating.
Thank you jo I can relate with the never being good enough. My painting I’m working on now is a lot better then years ago. But the same as you I want to make it better be a better artist. So thank you Jo for your wisdom. I will have a look at your website and buy something. 😀
I'm directing my dad to watch this. He's very talented and doesn't think he is. I think he could be the next grampa Moses.... I hope your videos will help him stop holding himself back in painting.
You are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Keep shining your light … you matter to me. ❤✨💫🙏
I love how proud his brother is of Mjs skills, and they do make a good team. His brothers commentary makes the content better imho.
Thank you! I love starting with "it's not good enough," because it takes the pressure off and I'm not as hard on myself. It's helped me get started instead of procrastinating. Love your work and approach. Thanks for sharing!
Love, love, love your work! I think many artists are humble perfectionists, but you are a ROCK STAR!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your work ❣❣❣
Thank you Joe! You are a wonderful artist. More importantly, you are a more wonderful human being.
I love your work!
How much is it for Mario DVD to buy
I find I do understand but I feel I need your DVD Mario
Have to say you are a fantastic artist.
I’ve listened to a lot of art teachers and man…… you’re a genius, thanks for vids/ lessons 😁🙏
This is Gold! Thanks so much!

Really a great teacher of this art form and even more passionate to depart with such humility. Is the best I've seen.

This is wonderful tutorial. I am starting learning painting. The explanation of reflection color makes so much sense. Many thanks
This is so fascinating. I think I could actually paint water, you do such a good job at teaching how to do it.
your a real teacher and a good one! i appreciate your vids brother! learned a lot already ! quickly
I'm directing my dad to watch this. He's very talented and doesn't think he is. I think he could be the next grampa Moses.... I hope your videos will help him stop holding himself back in painting.
Thank you for doing this. I had never done landscapes and got myself stuck on a monster mural that scares me! Your advice is invaluable.
I've just found your channel and think it is amazing. Thanks so much for your videos xx
