I have been oil painting for almost 50 years, did the academic studies in art school and your videos and thoughts on making art have helped me come closer to what I've been searching for all these years - the validation of oneself as an artist without worrying about what's wrong or right. Gracias Jose!
Awesome! I am so amazed how you just place your brush strokes and right before our eyes it turns into an amazing painting. I'm afraid my canvas would look like a total mess..
Love your videos Jose. I need to learn how not to overthink my paintings and not end up overworking them... Been doing that for last 15 years and your videos are helping. Creating work faster than you can think it's the way to go
I just bought this painting on eBay. Jose, I have recently started painting and have been trying to absorb as many free lessons and educational things as I can... I really like your philosophy, attitude and gregarious style. I bought the painting as a reminder and inspiration for the style I am trying to achieve. May you have much success.
I totally learned that lesson recently with what you are saying here. It revolutionized my painting bro. Anybody watching, this is the single most valuable lesson you will ever learn. Thanks my friend
Thank you for opening my eyes to a different king of thought process in painting. I like your free styling, especially the way you use the color values to clearly define the subject you are painting. I am never tired of watching you working on the canvas.
I find your tutorials very refreshing the loose approach without all the dos and donts . also the way you explain things are sometimes the way I think. I try to paint loose but still cant stop myself from getting into details . maybe one day lol . thank you for your refreshing style possitive talks 👍
totally agree, there is no wrong way to do it,I am a very educated artist whom left it alone for many years,now using it as a rehab,had a stroke sev months ago leaving my left side paralyzed and am left handed,lol but now I am using my right hand relearning to draw /paint and am not using taught methods at all, just from the heart whatever comes out ,the important thing is to enjoy it . keep it up man you are fun to watch and listen to,happy painting.
Love your style! I am also an impressionist and my work has started gaining traction. You've inspired me to go back and do some loose brush work again...which is sheer joy!
Thanks. I always work to paint loosely and this is more encouraging :) My motto is - if you think, you're not creating. Great painting. It's alive. I love that spontaneous red that a "traditional" artist might not dare.
Thank you so much for your painting lesson and your words, very encouraging, I have been in a rut with my paintings wanting them to look a certain way, I love your technic, it's so much less stressful
I love the freedom to create. Thank you for encouraging this Jose. By the way, it is helpful to see how you hold the brush. I think the important point for a loose brush style is not to hold the brush too tightly. So please show us your hand in these videos.It all helps.
Enjoyed your video and my main take away was that you paint a lot to study and learn. I will be following that. Also, I like what you said about attention and no thought. You must be a realized soul.
Man I totally love your art and everything you said is so true....they are trying to promote the student loan they paid for and not one of them really believe a single teacher they had were a "master" I am a martial artist and Ive been pretty damn great at alot of things,and from one lion to another.....your doing a great job of sharing your truth and allowing people to come along on your journey as an artist.Thats pretty much the highest achievement any human could do,oh and you do it very well.Be yourself ,Kung-fu Panda.Take your latin passion,shine in front of your kid and look at your wife on camera and show the world what a man is,a man who is mastering himself.We are all examples of something....you could do far worse...Take care man
You are such a star. Yes, I would like to paint like you. So loose and free. Just how do you get your paint not to mix when it is so thick and wet??? LOVE IT!
Jose. Are you changing brushes each time you are using different colors? I would love to see where you are picking up your paint snd how you do that. Thanknyou
Agree with your overall conceptual thought of expression as an individual artist, however, one must have technical knowledge of what makes what happen, then you apply that knowledge to your own personal style. Indeed a very unique application of "the rules," lol BTW, I do like the painting very much!
Dear Mr. Trujillo, as a fairy beginner painter I find the biggest problem is not the "technical skills", although that is always an issue. The problem I find is how derivative and repetitive the art is. You can barely tell the difference between dozens of artists who all paint the exact same way with the exact same style barring minimal differences. One of the reasons I love your work is that it has your style, a specific sense of the art, of the style that is very much yours. I have watched a lot fo your videos and between the actual art and the artistic philosophy I come away smarter. Thanks
I think the term Loose Brush Style is what I have looked for in my very short artistic life. Is that a term you coined or does it exist? It is close to Impressionism way of painting (without detail), don't you think?
Your style is very loose and exciting I'm still finding it hard to let go But you must be doing it right or why would people continually watch you. bam. Gottya. Flint australia
Just thinking...if a painter does not know how to be loose with the brush, they are not able to understand how to be tight. I believe Rembrandt was one who developed this concept in his later paintings.
Theres no right or wrong in art i agree.. They say do things "right" first.. Because the logic behind is enhancing the skills.. For me theres nothing in realism.. People just like it.. It's like exhibition.. But realism will make u understand all light principles.. The physics that lie behind things..so if u try to do a realistic face using a pencil.. Your shading, knowledge in light sources, etc will get better..
I can see your concern Leo German, however taking in consideration the time, design, materials, and the fact that he makes such a faithful contribution to share his talent with the world... Let me tell you 50 dollars is a great bargain. He is an honest man and deserves respect for the artist he is.
I can see your concern Leo German... However considering the time, the design and the materials. 50 dollars is a real bargain, not only he makes a faithful contribution to artists but he also shares his knowledge freely with whomever is willing to listen. I do believe Trujillo is the real deal, and he deserves respect for the artist he is.
Thank you so much Daniel! I charge low for small works so that everyone gets a shot at it. My larger works are in the 5-20 k price points. Maybe one day when enough people have bought $50 pieces...I'll be more known and thus charge get more of that green! :)
Every admiration for your approach, attitude, artistic skill and worthwhile finished creation - the visuals are excellent BUT the content and sound quality of the audio make the mute button essential for pleasurable viewing. You're a great painter, artist even but leave the life-coaching alone, eh?
+Dreadnaught This is exactly Jose,s point do NOT limit yourself to pleasing.the politically correct minority, create only to please yourself. What you refer to as "life coaching" as you can see consistantly in the comments of all of his videos the majority of viewers call "encouragement" and liberty of not feeling under obligation to conform. Most of the Masters were non conformist,s and were deemed scandalous in their time. And as you said already you mute the sound so let those who enjoy listening listen : D
you make it look entirely too easy. if I were to now set up in front of a canvas and try this it would look like a 3 year old did it with dollar store fingerpaints. le sigh.
Jose you are wrong about realism. Think how much it cost a Da Vinchi panting or a Caravagio and how much a painting like yours. But its not only about money. For example thing again how much valuable was a realistic portrait before photography arrives.
Nope! Realism is not valuable because of the work in it. Lol The paintings you mentioned are not "Realism". They are valuable because the artists were famous. Have you heard or Mark Rothko, Basquiat, Picasso, or Matisse?

Craig Murray Thank you so much! The unique style is a by product of lots of hours. I think we all can get there if we put in the time and effort :)
I'm learning a lot.
Awesome! :)
I think you're very very good. You should do pictures in bigger scale but with same loose style.
Thanks Ville! I appreciate it...will do! :)
great video

Wait....not famous??? I thought you're the world's greatest painter!! 😉
Your style is very loose and exciting I'm still finding it hard to let go But you must be doing it right or why would people continually watch you. bam. Gottya. Flint australia
Thank you so much Flint! I love that!! :)
Hi Jose do you wipe your brush every time or do you change it ?
Hi Suz, I do. Always wiping that brush. It''s how I keep those colors clean :)
Jose! One question... are you sketching with black or color mix? LOVE your work!
Thank you so much! I'm sketching with just black. :)
@@JoseTrujillo thanks! Just starting painting. Want to try the loose brush technique.
Ultra kool
Thank you Flint :)
True, everyone has a diff taste.
love youuu
Love it! I talk all the time about zero expectations and being present with my students, we should talk? :)
And some people hating on abstract painters, coz they are doing simple things. My gosh.
Thank you so much Molly! :)
please more painting
Thanks! :)
Just thinking...if a painter does not know how to be loose with the brush, they are not able to understand how to be tight. I believe Rembrandt was one who developed this concept in his later paintings.

@@JoseTrujillo you dont want to understood, but is ok. Btw Picaso was a realistic portrait painter at the very begining.
Too bad you didn’t talk about your painting and style instead of ranting.
Who cares about my painting and style. That's meaningless.
Listening to you rant about other painters and styles is not my idea of fun. Gary Jenkins knows how to do it.
Amazing work of art!
