This took you only 2.5 hours? How? You're such an inspiration

Joe, you are incredible on so many levels. First, you're an incredibly blessed and talented person. Secondly, you're ability to understand how we perceive our physical world is amazing. Thirdly, you ability and willingness to share your wisdom and talent and that you take the time to do so. You are so good at teaching.

you're my new Bob Ross! been painting my entire life and enjoy the heck out of your vids

Learned more from your 10 minute video than all of high-school art classes. I'm gonna use these tips in my next mural.

YOU ARE NOT ONLY A GIFTED ARTIST BUT AN EQUALLY GIFTED TEACHER!! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL PAINTING!!

You are my inspiration! Thank you for posting your videos to share to the world and please. For the sake of your fans, DO NOT STOP POSTING! ❤

As a fellow artist having painted for many years, I have to say what a pleasure to watch and listen to your video. You explain things in a great simple to understand way for the novice and more advanced artist alike. Beautiful work from such a young talent. Thank you for posting.

So realistic and the depth is amazing. I want to jump into that painting.

After almost a forty year absence from acrylic painting, I decided it was time to get back to it. Your videos are priceless. Your skills as a teacher in this medium are brilliant. But, your skill as an artist and your way of breaking down what is in your mind's eye is GENIUS. Thank you so much! I am sold!! Ready to get started again with your help.

Thank you for this! Although I'm a digital artist, you gave a lot of advice that is universal in art!!

I can't imagine anyone bettering you at painting.....you the God of painting. what makes you even better is that you explain it all so well,making you a great teacher too.

I like the way you explain how atmospheric perspective works, even under water. It is also true for night paintings. The warms in the foreground, cools in the background.

I just watched this and I still have no idea how the frick u made that masterpiece

what an amazing artist you are. I could watch you all day

first 10 secs "okay this will be easy digital" after the turn down of the cam "Holly shit it's real literal paint?!" /drink acid/

So, at the beginning I was like, "uh huh, uh huh, me get it..". Then when he came to the part where he create this ring of light on the sea floor, my jaw just drop and stayed that way till the end of the video (possible cause I sped up x2). So realistic and just wow, you're amazing!

I have always wanted to get into acrylic painting... I've played a round with it a few times in the past, but I also found it to be a expensive hobby... Not as much as oil's, but the canvases and brushes are really pricey, and being a artist, you only want the best materials to work with... I have met many artist in my 47 years of life, and I have learned a lot of what I know today through them, and Mural Joe has been a great teacher for me, and it ain't cost me a dime! LMFAO! so thank you so much for that brotha! and I always do my best to do the same for other people who are just starting out like I did when I was just a kid... I remember me starting out tracing everything, then I got burned out on that! and I started to draw by looking at what I was doing, then I would hide the picture and draw from memory, so I can just picture something in my mind and put on paper, and it drives my mom bonkers man! because she can't do that, but she is way better than me when it comes to making things so realistic... She won a second place at a contest with Disney, and them artist are the best! so it just lets you know her skill level... Thanks for listening everybody., and always believe in what you do, and never be afraid to ask questions and learn things from other people...

Thanks again for sharing your talent. This is homeschool for my older kids today so thx. We're a family that draws and paints together and we love learning.

Too beautiful for words......................

No other Ocean or marine inspired paintings compare to yours , so realistic and inspiring to watch your art come to life, im learning so much from your videos ..thankyou for teaching us how to developer better techniques like yours

you are a seriously talented artist...and a great teacher. Thank you....I went to your mural Joe.com and its magnificent. Your talent is amazing. Your attitude on not premixing certain colors is unique and brilliant.......if anyone goes to your internet site they will be stunned by your style.........you remind me of a young Kindade!

Thankyou jo! Your style and way of explaining things is clear and detailed

I'm in awe, I just cannot believe your skills, I wish 1 day I have 1% of the skills you have... you sir have a New sub :) absolutely beautiful

Just when I'm ready to give up painting I view your video. I'm inspired, again. Thank you.

Okay. I've been watching your videos on KZfaq for a couple of weeks now. Just ten or twenty minutes every day. I just want to say that I find them informative, enlightening, and frankly quite stunningly beautiful. Your mind works in interesting ways, and I thank you for sharing how you operate like this. Great stuff, Muraljoe.

I have been trying to figure out bubbles for a few days and this was great! I didn't really stop to think about the spatial reasoning and color relationships before. Thank you!!!

Your paintings are the most wonderful thing, like i'm shook by seeing the materials (especially water) suddenly take its form , you are a talented man

After watching every video you've shared, this under water painting is still my favorite.

Love the ethereal quality of this dreamy vision. Love it so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i really avoid painting with water involved but i think i should give it again a try.... so i guess i would really be needing your vids. ty for the inspiration and lesson. muraljoe ftw!!!!woot woot!

Amazing artwork. Great teaching as well.

I just discovered your channel while searching tutorials on how to paint waves. I am in awe! I love your explanations on everything and your attention to all of the details! Will be watching lots of your work!

Damn KZfaq Recommendations! I had no intention of watching this guy ALL day long... but dude is a BEAST!! Amazing talent!! 🧜‍♂️

You have a real gift for teaching. I wish some of your strokes were close up so we could really see the detail.. That being said, I find that if I just take a glance at one of your videos, I end up sitting for the whole thing before I realize I had something else I was suppose to do. Thanks for these, it makes it seem possible for me to be able to do this myself. Oh, it is also the little bits of info, like how the sun rays are a result of what part of the wave they are reflecting on that are so important to understand. I love how you include those little bits of learning in your videos.

True professional with very serious skills!

So mesmerising! I can't stop staring at your work. Truly inspiring!

It's so hard to explain this stuff. It obviously just comes to you so easily. Thanks for doing the WORK to think it through and the TIME to explain it. We are hanging on every word and trying so hard to learn. Thank you, Joe!

Right on bro. Your videos are awesome. I’m a surreal / abstract painter, and your water tutorials are assisting a bunch. Thanks!

Artist here. I really need to work on and study more on perspective and color theory. Masterpiece.

I just love this. Art like this should be appreciated by the whole world. I swear to be subscribed forever.

Thank you. There is so much gratitude in my head for you.....I am at a loss for words right now. So, Thank you just thank you right now.

what you mentioned about your mind filling in details is a gilden piece of info. amazing work and very kbowledgable. thabks bud

I have been sitting here at work watching you paint these masterpieces and learning so much... All I want to do is just go home and paint.

wow! your paintings are sooo beautiful and I think it's amazing watching you while you're drawing. I think your paintings look like photos. I like drawing to, but just on paper and with pencils. And I think with colour and a brush it's more difficult. Respect!

your art works are amazing. you're one of the best painter i've ever seen. I hope to be like you someday.

I'd do anything to paint the way he does. Fantastic!!!!
