A lot of painters are nervous about painting "live" like this-- Your fearless approach and willingness to share your thoughts as you paint makes this an excellent demonstration.

Almost an hour and it passed so quickly. All your videos are so informative and you're an amazing teacher. Thanks a lot!

I love the level of understanding you have with the things you see. I feel like I grow a little bit as an artist with pretty much every video you post. Thank you for that!

I haven't painted for nearly 40yrs.... You have enspired me to pick up my brushes again. Love the way you teach... Amanda Perth WA...

It's so ironic that you uploaded this because just last night I was searching for videos on how to paint metallic objects but i had trouble finding them. Then I wake up to one of the most informative artists I always go to posting this

You make the mixing of colors so easy and simple. Keep this up, and you’ll become the Bob Ross, in the mural field!

Would be interesting to see an episode on painting soap bubbles or other oily translucent/transparent reflective surfaces

This was so informative. thanks. i love that you not only took the time to show everything and explain how to do it, But more importantly why.

You are so smart! I wish it understood shadows like you do. Awesome👏👏😊

Very nice example! Easy to understand.

This is my first video of yours, and it was extremely useful. I am sure I will have to watch it a couple more times just to take in all of the information you shared. I really appreciate it and subscribed. Thank you.

First tutorial of yours I have watched Joe. I am working on transparent glass in a painting and my search bought you up. I like the way you explain things, it makes sense in my brain. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks a lot. Shoutout from Qld Australia.

first thing I thought thanks Joe for so much content for free your awesome!

Fascinating and very helpful! Thanks Joe!

I watch this over and over... one of the best lessons I've ever watched. Thanks for sharing.

I learned so much from this regarding reflections. Awesome job. It's very relaxing to watch you develop and I hope to place more of your techniques in my paintings. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift with all of us! Not only are you an awesome artist, but your style of teaching is wonderful. You are quite an inspiration!

love your lessons, they're amazing and simple. more teachers, of all subjects, need to be like this

Joe, you are a fantastic teacher! I wish my memory was just as good. I'll definitely have to watch this video again when a metallic object is in my painting. Thanks so much.

It is so much fun to wTch you paint like a magician with your limited palet of black, white, red, blue and yellow - great inspiration and your process seems to be both analytical and intuitive - playfull and filled with joy

I really appreciate your expertise and your willingness to share! You're a good teacher. I am a design student taking advanced painting, but my classes never get this technical. I will be binge watching your videos. THANK YOU!

Perfect! I love your perspective. Thank you

Now I've gone through a lot of tutorials where it just seems like the artist do their own thing but very few of the times you get some some real knowledge. This was great. Much appreciation form India.

Thank you for the lesson. It's bee a long time since I've painted and you brought things back as a reminder...

Joe what a pleasure it is to watch you paint as you explain why certain colours should be in certain places. I am learning so much from your teachings and for that I thank you immensely. Im an Aussie bloke who has been painting for some time but you can never stop learning. You wanted a wish list for your app? How about the ability to recognise perspective in any photo similar to the way current facial recognition works. As painting faces is my primary subject often I have to work from photographs, most of which do not offer receding lines of perspective and if I have to add a background it can often come down to trial and error. Don't know if it can be done but if it can I'm sure you can do it. Cheers mate and thanks again.

Lovely video - and really useful tips. Thankyou Joe for sharing your art

Great video as always, sir! Thanks for doing them.

Just started watching your videos. Really learning a lot, thank you.

I was very confused when you were drawing on the whiteboard but once you started painting it, the light bulb came on and it made a lot of sense. Thank you very much!

That was great! Your knowledge of and eye for color and what that color does is amazing. Thank you

Thank you Joe! Much needed information 😊

Very good demo and explanations of how to paint shiny objects! Thank you!

Thank you. This really cleared a lot of things up.

Wonderful, I'm very impressed! Thank you so much!

What was once a mind-boggling concept beyond my reach, has now become user friendly process that I can attempt. Thanks to you.

OMG. So being an artist I always knew for the most part HOW to differentiate reflection in different textured surfaces visually, lol but you just me actually understand exactly WHY!! Which is not everyone can do; teach a 'creative' concept in a 'logical' way...to creative ppl lol, who (atleast for me) aren't always such 'logical' or 'left brained' thinkers ...let alone learners!! Joe, you are truly a modern genius! Not just that, but on a personal note, a blessing too. Bc after majoring in Fine Art, I became discouraged as to finding work, and apprenticing for scumbag men in the tattoo business, and struggling with depression, moods and all fun shit that comes along with being the "eccentric, artist" type, I guess I created a big blockage and no matter what, regardless of what friends, family or "fans of my work" would try, I came up with every excuse and did not pick up a brush/pencil in almost 13 years ...(prior to this past Xmas eve, when I found ur channel) ... wow, I cannot believe it's been that long, u prob think I'm nuts, lol this is so long but I'm just thinking +typing...Thank you. you've inspired me to paint with ur guidance, tips and your deeper knowledge of color, light, light color and how it differs from paint color (which BTW, do u think the color wheels are different from light and paint bc it's a matter of paint being 3 dimensional and light being "multi- dimensional" (for lack of a better term)?? Anyway, I'm sorry this post should of had chapters in it lol😜 but if I could I would buy all ur stuff and "donate" or gladly pay for ur teaching services more than asking price! Not only have I learned more from you in the past week of watching ur KZfaq channel than I have my whole highschool, college and 3 year apprenticing gig, but you and ur work actually inspired me to WANT TO PAINT again, and I DID!! I found cheap paint, a few old brushes, went in my basement and took over some old canvas, and cheap wall art, and painted until 6:30 Xmas day...ur like my Xmas miracle!! LMAO, Jk! Lol, but seriously ur an angel to me at such a dark, long, confusing , lost time and bc u do ur videos u reminded me of my one true calling in life. And gave me some guidance and support to work with while I'm rusty, and for the future to be better than I ever have. . Lol, now I need a job LMAO, but If i do get $, screw student loans, it's going to MuralJoe!🤗

Joe you are just fantastic, love you.

And also a really effektive way to show how you mix your colors on your "palet" standing upright just under your painting - great idea

thanks for the awesome video, hope you continue doing more

I sure do love a good impressionistic painting..mmm...beautiful, this will come in handy this Christmas!

Thank you for all the info Joe. You are always fantastic. Had to take a break and actually utilize some of the skills I am learning but have missed watching your videos. Will be catching up on them this week. Keep up the good work!!

Excelente vídeo Joe muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento

Nice easel - and always fine to demonstrate with color. TH e minute you start to paint with color it becomes so much easier to understand -

You do such a great job explaining things. I get it now. Thx

from melbourne australia awesome work bro love what you do and showing everyone a easier way to mix there colors rite thanks bro you the man joe

Great video I want to paint a chrome ball on a Newtons Cradle so watched this, thanks for sharing your talent. Martin from Bulgaria

props for the audio cuts.. so smooth.. really helpful video too, ive been wanting to learn reflections for a while now. and you make it very understandable.. thankyou.

What a great lesson on reflections thank you so very much!!!

Great lesson. Thanks so much!

Nicely done!

You’re a great teacher. Can’t wait to see how your instructions work out for me with painting my Boston fire truck -correction-I’m attempting. It’s my first challenge of this 2021 year.

Thank you SO much for this. Beat video on this matter. Thank you for explaining WHY the objects/ light reflect the way they do and not just how awesome you are at painting and "this is what I do" (?!?) !

great lesson!!!

Thank you, good explanations and examples.

You are a great teacher 👌🏻thank you so much for this🙏🏻

Gotta watch this more than once. Lotta info ty.

JOE JOE JOE !!!!! YOU ARE THE BOSS OF PAINTING!!!THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

Thanks lots!. Your editing is great.

I love all your videos, I like the step by step tutorials.....Great Job!!!

thanks for sharing, one thing that I appreciate the most in your vids is, that you're not using terminology (doesn't matter if you are because you don't know it) , in a way you're always giving the definitions of them, and that helps a lot. could you please make a tutorial were there are two light sources? (moon and camp fire on a beach for example). keep doing what you do!!!

Very helpful. Thank you!

well explained :) thanks joe!

thanks for sharing! i love the way you explain what you see! pozdrawiam z Polski!

Thank you Joe for sharing your knowlege wich you worked hard to atain generusly with us .

Thank you from Argentina!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will have to watch again as I don't quite get it all, but I will ;)

That was awesome, ive been watching KZfaq videos on how to paint this or that. I loved how detailed you had described everything in this clip, I would have not even had the desire to do it cause , well for one, anything shiny always looks intimidating to do and how would i start? You make it look easy but i know for me it will be a challenge, but at least im inspired to try. Thank you soooo much for giving out this for free. I really do appreciate it, Schools so expensive but all your videos really help. Any information helps and inspires me to paint more. So again I really appreciate it. Thank you.

thank you for sharing ur technics. really interesting. I saw many videos of urs. but I can really do the same I doubt I know?

Joe....great vid. How does the reflected light behave on a flat chrome-like door seeing it straight on, or at, maybe a perspective slightly from below (ie; the back of a tractor trailor door).

Fascinating.

Thanks Joe's brother for the production work.

Awsome !!! Never had an art teacher explain reflections and the relationship of the colours around and in the reflections as well as you just did.Thanks very much.I will definitely subscribe to your chsnnel.

Great work from you biggest Aussie Fan

Wondering if you had an art teacher and if so, did you scare them? You are so funny in your teaching and so fast and so sure of yourself ;)

Helpful video! Thx!

You are truly a teacher

Amazing!

Fantastic example! Thanks for sharing :-)

from India , love ur instructional videos 👍👍

Joe, you are again so FANTASTIC. This is so useful. Great instruction. Joe, good luck on your new house. Will you be creating some of the great murals on your new walls?

Thanks for this video - a lot of valuable information, plus I love watching you work. Good luck with your new house. 🍷🍷 a drink to christen your new dwelling. From the UK. 😊👍🏻

it was a joy to watch

Thanks for that Joe. Very informative. Many years ago, I drew a chrome coffee percolator in crayon as a school.homework exercise. Soon realised that it was a just bunch of squished & stretched reflections within the overall shape of the percolator. Drew all the reflections I could see then stood back and dammit I'd drawn a chrome coffee percolator!! Somehow I got away with my complete lack of understanding of the colour theory.

thanx again Joe! Great video! btw.. thanx for answering my red vs. black question in Your Landscape video.. tooooo many purists out there saying "Never" use black! but I disagree, and what You said makes total sense.

it would be nice if you could do a tutorial on an animal drawing as i am struggling to draw animals. i would also like to know a good water colour brand which is not that expensive

That cedar plywood was a lot more absorbent in the beginning of your video than at the end, haha. You forgot the white spot in the reflections on the gold bulb from the chrome and red ones, but you were in a hurry. Love the way you think, thinkers tend to be tinkerers. Depth creates interest and thought. Love listening to how you explain things. DrQ'in

Hi from Plymouth in Devon, England. Great tutorial thanks! Would like to see how to paint planets tutorial. x

Joe, would/can this technique be achieved using oil paints? If so, what would have to be done differently to achieve the same look?

this was helpful 😊

Wow, this needs courage to do because only in end our eyes will start seeing the shiny surface 🙏

Thanks. It was great)))

Awesome Joe...from Hawaii 😊

Perfectly imperfect.

Hey Joe, Are those Gallons of paint you are using House paint? Or is it Artist Grade? Latex, Oil, etc? Brand? I need large amounts of paint like that can be used on canvas. I have projects that are large and my pricey tubes will be ate up in no time. Thanks!

GODLIKE!

Wow!!!

Hey how did you get started painting >?

Hola lo felicito ,pero es una lastima que no se ingles así que solo saco conclusiones a través de las imágenes,pregunto si existen viseo en español. Gracias

could you do a gooey or fleshy texture tutorial with acrylics please.!!! lots of love from maryland!

You have 120 million (give or take) rods in your retina that register light and dark. You also have 7 million cones that register color (pretty much focused in the 'yellow spot' . That is indeed the limit to what we can see. That is why grass will turn a sea of green instead of individual blades. Simply put they outnumber our rods and cones at some point.
