Excellent teaching. You've given names to techniques I only intuited as a 'new' painter. Love your process, use of brush (only one, not cleaning between colors, etc) and your explanation of WHY starting with mid-tones, then adding light & shadow works so well with painting rocks.

Hey Joe haven't seen you in years your doing great.

This is so good, very interactive and lots on information. You should have more subs, definitely will recommend you

Hi, I just want to thank you for the great demonstrations and the systematic explanations you provide. I learned a lot from your how to paint videos and I admire your work.

You're the man, Joe! As usual.

As a fellow KZfaqr myself I enjoy learning from others, so thanks for sharing.

Great video and informative video as always. I'm an artist from Arizona too (downtown Phoenix) who's starting my own channel. It's really great to see how great your art and channel are doing, it's very inspirational

Joe, you are the best! I enjoy your videos and am learning a lot of great techniques I can use in my own paintings. Many thanks.

Hi , I love how you explain what is going though your mind while painting shapes and mixing. If your foreign watchers go to closed captions then settings, they can scroll to a long list of languages. it will auto-translate.

Love all these videos...Thanks for sharing your knowledge Joe...

Joe eres un gran maestro,nos ayudas mucho...muchas gracias y sigue así porque me encantas..gracias. Te sigo desde España.

Pinta muito ... Muito talentoso...

Esta claro que nacistes artista. El destino te ha dado esa virtud y tus pinturas son muy realista y buena mano de creador. Me encantan tus pinturas. Ya tengo 76 años y viendote de trabajar me haces de pijntar con mas entusiamos. Muchas gracias y espero estes muchos años mostrando tus trabajos. Mil gracia Naci tambien artista, pero el sisteema pollitico de mi pais en España con lla dicatadura no tuve la oportunidad de estudiar en un colegio de bellas arte. tal vez era mi destino y nacer en la epoca de la mas mala de mii pais.

Thanks a lot for this video...I'm trying to make a lion and cubs on red rocks! No one else teaches like you. Ty

Hi Joe, I wish that you could have shown the beginning of the painting. I am actually working on a red mountain in Mesa, AZ. Then I saw your video and I thought it would be a good idea to get inform. I am working in watercolor, not acrylics for the Red Mountain. I have always worked with oils, but recently I have been practicing with watercolors and acrylics, that is the reason why I wanted to see how you work on this red mountains. Thank you for you videos, I am really grateful for them. You are great as always. Amazing!

Do you have a video on how to mix paint to achieve the red rock colors you are using. It looks amazing!!!

Joe your technique is so realistic & complex that I have many questions: (1) ROCKS: How do novices know where the light is hitting the rock, esp when to place purple grey low lights? At 9:11 in this video, "white striking the top side of the rock", but to me it looks like the side surface of the rock. I'm fuzzy in my understanding. If this is the top of a rock how far down before another 'white highlight is realistic? Do you have a rule of thumb for this? Do you remember what were some of your common misconceptions at the start of your career at major transitions that led you to where you are now? >> Could you make a video of the top mistakes you're spotting from these workshops? We learn from failures, so it's not to embarrass but improve. (2) You also mentioned at 17:53, "it's just like painting waves," however even after watching all your wave videos I'm still confused by this meaning. For water, mid-tones are reserved for any areas below high points receiving light source but not areas darkened by absolutely no light source. For land, grey can depict either: (1) atmospheric colour wash-out that gives perspective of far-away objects, or (2) colour blending of red surface reflecting blue sky. >> Why does ends of rocks reflect sky colour more than any other part? >> Why do waves of the ocean seem to have more grey/mid-tones than rocks-cape? Are there notable exceptions? (3) OCEANSIDE: Could you make a video of this from POV on high mountain looking out at a tumultuous storm with multiple vanishing points (8 or more) given the various wave patterns that arise in nature. (Ex. instagram.com/p/Bb7N1Wsng2m/ ) So impressed by your ability to dream up your own realistic version of places & of course your colour blending/creation from primary colours. You're very inspiring & empowering given the rising costs of everything. For years I've hoarded art supplies, until I felt safe to create crap..it's funny how many professionals admit to feeling this as well. It's nice to know each of your techniques for overcoming this problem. Cheers

Appreciate the help 🙏🏻❤️

Hi Joe. I am a new pastel artist and I love painting the red rock scenes of Arizona and Utah. I find it very hard to create depth and shadowing in red rocks and this video helped me, but I would love to see this same technique done in pastel. Do you ever paint in pastel? I cannot find any red rock demos on KZfaq in pastel.

Love this

I am looking forward to seeing an explanation for the tree

Nice job

I am using gamblin oil colors to use on a white canvas .???

reds , yellows and browns to mix .??suggestions

Brilliant

Молодцы ребята! Очень талантливо!

gostei bom trabalho, queria saber pintar assim.

Hey, Joe, do you know the artist Roger Dean? I think he finished Yes (band) works, and have a incredibly talent too. Is a inspiration for all of us. Cheers from Brazil. I really appreciate your work.

Sei davvero bravo!!!!

Parabéns, adoro o jeito que você pinta. Eu tenho muita vontade de começar a pintar e toda vez que olho seus videos fico com mais vontade ainda rs. Aproposito, me diverti com a tradução dos comentários kkk. Forgive my translation rs -> Congratulations, I love the way you paint. I feel like starting to paint and everytime i see your videos i feel it more. By the way, i had fun with the translation of comments kkk

Oh joe joe, I’m trying so hard to learn this stuff🥴

Muraljoe hi have you ever done a middle eastern theme painting or like a german theme like in a special setting i mean

Love your tutoriala

you work so fast but love your stuff man

hi joe, Why do you say that mixing the colors directly in the wall is different to do in the palette?

Holy moly!!! What a great idea. Have your students actually do what you do on something that matters.... Did that sound patronizing? I did not mean it that way. It truly is a great motivator...if they can get beyond the initial "I would not dare/I'd never/Me? Yeah right"- stage. Inspirational stuff to see what you did in context. Question: Do you determine your starter mid-tones in advance? I mean you have different mid-tones depending on where (perspectively) they end up in the painting. Obviously farther in the distance is paler. But I mainly mean working from left to right. Do you have a base colour for the whole mural or do you make it up as you go along?

Joe, please, please, please can we get an update on the Harry Potter painting??? :) Loving the new murals!

If your camera person could get a little closer on your brushwork that would help so much. You’re awesome 👏🏻

lindo!!!!!

You are having what too much fun without me. I want so badly to be inside this video!! Seriously I have learned a lot from your excellent video and your beyond fascinating techniques. The color combinations that you have demonstrated, I will use, this is your gift to me and I thank you.

Your techniques are interesting. I notice that you are so used to slabbing paint on the wall and large canvases that even when you worked on a smaller canvas with oil paints, you put paint right on the canvas from the tube.

Hello Joe.when you mass in a mid tone shape, of an object,are you using the actual local colour to determine the mid tone?

I want to meet you on the fb. thank you very much

22:26 Oke. Now here I have to object. I usually admire your humble demeanor but this is not something to be humble about. Yes it is a trick and up close you see paint and not the illusion. But Have you seen Penn and Teller do the cups and balls with clear plastic cups? Does that, in any way, diminish the artistry of the trick? No, of course not. Knowing how it's done makes you appreciate it even more.
