This is a great example of why I love learning on YT, not only can you find instruction on what you want to do, in this case I was looking for 'painting waves with acrylics', but you can sometimes find someone doing almost exactly what you want to learn. I will be painting a mural of a seascape on a friends fish and chip shop next month, and I think I will actually break out the plastic for the full lesson on this dudes site. So remember: if you are several beers into an evening and are making promises for creative services you are only semi skilled in, always allow for at least a month to procrastinate and 3 days to practice before doing the job.

I just wanted to thank you for the kind gesture of sharing your amazing talent. It continues to blow me away at how someone of your caliber cares enough about others to turn turn on to what they know. Your painting is Beautiful, spectacular soothing & stimulating at the same time. Again, thank so much! You're a wonderful teacher btw. :)

I'm also a painter and muralist and I have got to tell ya joe, it was a real pleasure watching and listening to you. I kept shaking my head yes as I listened to your bits of wisdom. And it's fun to see your techniques. Very similar to my style. Keep painting, never stop creating!

Probably the best tutorial on wave painting I've ever seen. Thanks Joe.

Marvellous! In a class of your own. Your depictions of water are so subtle and complex, as well as true to the spirit and feel of the ocean.

That looks unbelievably pretty. Wow. I hope one day I can paint like that.

“My painting is wrong.” I think that’s what makes it art. It’s your version of a beach. I love it.

When I heard the waves at the end, I could smell the ocean! Very beautiful.

Salute to those who transfer their experience with ease simplicity and clarity.

I've watched other artists but keep coming back to this one, he is my hero and I hope to glean from him and create some beautiful artwork like his, someday!

One of the most important aspects to learning any new skill is the understanding of function and relation to form. This gentleman understands the way waves function. He mentions coral. He describes currents after he describes how light plays a role beneath the waves and how both flow together as he forms what what we see here. It's clear to me that this wisdom aides him the recreation and the reinterpretation of what is arguably much more than a wave. This is a mural created by a young artistic craftsman.

Oh you're like a modern Bob Ross! new favorite!

Sometimes I build a frown out of a smile.. 😉

Your whole canvas is so beatiful! ( before the painting session) Your whole canvas is extremely beautiful!! (after the painting session )

Love how there are layers under layers, like I never though of the artists energy this much and how beautiful this is. Each painting has a story underneath!

You are such a great teacher! I learn so much from every video and I stay up waaaay too late watching them! Thank you for being such a humble, down-to-earth guy and for taking the time to share your incredible talents with the rest of us.

I don't usually draw landscapes, but your videos have inspired me. I am going to give it a shot. Thank you.

amazing! it's beautiful! love how you break it up, and the colors make it look truly real! thanks!

You got it Joe ! I would put it on my wall ....and call it inspiration any day of the year ...keep painting ! Love your spirit ...!

How ,magnificent was this video of you painting these crashing waves, were! You were so “ into” everything you painted. You explained each and everything so well. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

i just start to paint and i love watching your videos you are amazing Artist joe.i like what u said feel free to paint a million wrong paint in join the club

Oh my gosh, you're incredible man

You have two gifts, painting and teaching! Well done, great explanation!

Joe iv been drawing for years but was never to confident to try painting ....I grew up watching Bob Ross and was always amazed by how his paintings would flow ..... a awhile ago I started painting scenes with spray paint and it kinda got me more into murals... but your videos are really helping me understand so much more about all that goes into it....and how to blend with just basic colors...and understanding perspective.and painting water in different ways...... I just wanted to say thank for taking the time to post these videos....you truly an amazing artist!....thanks again.

Thank you for sharing, Joe! You're such a gifted and generous man!

LOVE that intro!

Love it especially the use of the roller "this one smears as it rolls to mix the paints" - love it!

I have been an artist since I could pick up a crayon and draw on a kitchen wall. As I I've grown up I have worked in all kinds of media's working on portraits and landscapes. I have never been able to paint seascapes. With todays technology I can now see how it's done, and Joe you have inspired me to give it another try at the age of 69. I was in Panama City Beach watching the waves come in and go out during the time hurricane Harvey was hitting Texas, so I was able to film some great wave pattern's, thanks again.

Thanks for posting this I'm going to try this out today. This is a very helpful video. I subscribed .

Impossible! Your work area is so clean... Whats behind that camera

Easier said than done. You're the best teacher I've learned a lot when you explain shadows and the structure of things and all that. You're the only one I can really learn from.

muraljoe I can't begin to explain how much inspiration, motivation and technique you have given me. I've tried so many different art styles(clay modeling, stipple, portraits, oil paintings, stencils, tattooing, vinyl) and when I come across your work I just want to dive right into painting! You have so much positive feedback and tools to share its heart warming. I could praise you on your talent for hours, but your work speaks for itself. You're an amazing artist(to say the least) and anytime I need a good kick in the arse to become motivated I watch one of your videos. You're truly and inspiration and great teacher! I speak for everyone when I say you're an artistic blessing!! 🙌🙏🎨💯

For a minute i thought u totally ruined it with the green but boy was i wrong

This is really awesome just saw youre chanell I love youre work dude I would love to see more tutorials and paitings :D

Sir: you are one of the BEST visual teachers I have ever seen and trust me, I've seen more than you are old! Great Job!

Whenever I get stuck on how to paint waves and the sea your videos help and inspire me to get it right. Thank you.

where can i go to learn all this??? i know theres schools but is whats the difference between the schools

This is the best way to learn painting! I can see it again and again. And it´s free!

These are wonderful! Anyone I go to beach with never lets me get my fill of looking at the water, these videos are simply perfect!

I just love your paintings! So much more skilled required than those pretentious idiots who do abstract paintings of an ink blot

wow amazing

Beautiful and funny rhythms from painting these patterns of sea foam - and it seem to be quite a meditative job - nice listening to rhythms from waves

Whew! Your knowledge and training and talent are "just phenomenal!" I am painting a mural now and your water techniques are exactly what I needed. If I didn't live on an island I would attend your workshops : ) I am so happy to have found you! Love your teaching as its "true teaching!" I am like a sponge ...Thank you!

nice job

"when there is less green there is more red" where can i find this kind of knowledge..book?

And what a wonderfull blue green color making the feeling of feeling the waves rolling in eternal rhytmic movements of eternal change - beautifull painting and very dreamy experience of observing and listening to the sea

Your enthusiasm is contagious.

I love this!♡

Is this oil or acrylic? What medium are you using?

Joe, I have seen some gorgeous paintings and paint myself in oils, but you are the best artist I’ve ever seen. You probably don’t think so, but we’re our worst critic. I’ve watched you off and on, but today I’ve watched for 4or5 hours and I don’t believe anyone can do any better. Awesome work!!!!👍🏻

Dynamic style with a fresh, brisk approach that is full of life and creativity !! Excellent work and painting. Thanks.

WOW

The painting is moving in my eyes hahaha

Love your style of both painting and teaching.

I rather watch you paint than go to a movie. What a gift you have in your instructions in teaching.

ВЫ МАСТЕР!!!!!!! ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВО!!!!

Eye-gasm

You helped me so much I could cry of joy! I haven't been able to capture the Ocean, waves, ripples, the many colors, and this video has helped me tremendously. I've tried on my own without any guidance and you have cleared up all my concerns within my own pieces. Thank you for existing.

I so appreciate the details about what you do and why you do it.

You make me want to throw my brushes away and take up line dancing or skydiving...

I'm painting along with Joe and it looks like trash. But @ 8:20 I wasn't so mad anymore. :)

Mural Joe ,it is nice 2 see young people doing great things .Man ,you have it together!

absolutely best waves i have ever seen painted..I am a beginner and will be trying your technique.thank you.

best part of ur job is u choose a huge canvas and didn't make it fast.

this was a great video, but you had changed the painting alot and added heaps of details while off camera. i noticed that at least 4 times during the video

Your lessons have helped me so incredibly much with my art work. You're amazing. Thank you for teaching us what you've learnt.

Wow!! I'm a retired art teacher and this is one of the best painting technique videos I have seen!

Strange lonely big wave on a flat sea...

My dear Joe, of all the artists I have seen on You Tube you are one of the best. I mean it! You are the perfect teacher of art, and I love your technique. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

And love the attitude you have towards painting.

I showed about 10 people his tutorials. We cannot believe how well his methods work!

thank you for everything mural Joe.

I just found your KZfaq mural videos and I must say you are a wonderful teacher and thanks for sharing your techniques. Thank you!

Painting a seascape for my mother. Your video helped to calm my nerves. I like the 'no right painting' and mentally I have joined that club. Thanks

It is an absolute joy to watch you paint. You definitely have a gift!

Water is one of the hardest things to paint and have it look really good. You have nailed it!!!!! Beautiful!!

Thank you for sharing. I have noticed in my own painting that I have improved A lot from 20 yrs ago to now. That's not from years of pracice. As I paint I start to realize major details that really pop. I just subscribed to your chanel. Watching you really helps me have a good Idea. I will still have my own technique. I get what you said changing your techinques. I love it. Again, Thank you so much.

I loved what you said between 8:20 and 8:30. I keep looking at my work at the moment questioning my work. it's a relief you do too, but obviously as a spectator, I see nothing wrong in your picture. You do, but you have a lovely way of taking your painting as it comes and not worrying. It's very reassuring, so thank you:)

I can't see anything wrong with this Joe! it's brilliant🤗🖌🎨 and it will make me look closer at colours and how waves move next time I go to the beach💎

You make it look so easy Joe, but it is practice, practice, practice and I'm learning to enjoy the process....I wanna hurry and get it done.....but I'm learning to take my time. I love your work.

I always love to listen and watch your excellent artistry and redemption. A wondrous heartfelt labor of love.

That is absolutely breathtaking. I'm showing my 15 year old daughter how to do ripples as she is nearing her exams. She's done them like snake scales and needs to blend them into the water. Her pictures are amazing. I told her to go on KZfaq to look at tutorials yours is the one I've sent her. It's blown me away. Shame on the 477 miserable people.

One of the best beach paintings I've seen!

i like your attitude. it makes me want to come back to this video.

Oh my God, this is fantastic, sir! You are blessed, that's for sure! And great fun to watch and listen to. Thanks a lot!

Mural Joe you are the boss for real. I have been a fan for years.

The tips for shadows and the way to make them more realistic are so useful. Thanks for sharing

I have been wanting to paint again after a long, long, hiatus but I have been hesitant because I want to start with a new medium and I did not want to make too many mistakes.....thanks for your inspiration and words of wisdom. I am excited now to make a hole crap load of mistakes. :) Your the bets!!!!

All techniques and tips are appreciated! My art dwells where i dream of being on any given day. Some days i love the mountains and many, many times, the beach, ocean or waterway .. I put my eyes in the picture, imagining a perfect morning, afternoon..ect. i need so many little tips to make it all come alive right before my very eyes :) thanks, love the clues on how to make my beach and sand come together better.

I'm always in awe with your work. I learn a lot from you and I love how you geek out explaining. 👍🎨🎨🎨

I'm learning far more from you than the time I wasted at The School of Visual Arts decades ago. You are fabulous painter and humble teacher. My son's who are also artistically inclined come to visit me and we watch your videos together. I'll be ordering full versions from your website for them as presents. Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful summer.

I bought the tutorial for this and can't wait to start painting. Will be doing paintings for two of my five brothers. One just bought a house across the road from the water, so this will be perfect. You are awesome.

You have amazing talent. I've subscribed and just began spray paint art a few months ago. I've improved a lot after 55 paintings. Every form of painting gives us insight to bring our works to life. Thanks Joe. Roger from outback Australia.

Absolutely bloody stunning so talented Joe thank you for sharing

Hello, I just discovered by chance your video on you tube, it is with pleasure that I am your gestures. Your fingering is that of a great artist, you restore nature as it takes your contemplator; once caught in the rythm of the waves, I could not look away. Your method is as simple as it is attractive. It's really nice to see your gestures evolve to offer us wonders. Bravo congratulations and bravo, I'll hat you. Thank you and good evening or good night.

the best seascape artist and teacher in the market !!!! good video joe, like your art...

Definitely going to watch the longer version. Thank you, you are amazing!

Wow, your water is just amazing. Thanks for sharing

I like it. It seems you now are here it is painted realistically. Very nice.

I've been watching videos on painting seascapes. I really like your technique and agree with you when you say no one should copy but to build their own techniques. I can see some things I like here and also in other videos. Bottom line, we are individuals but we all need teaching!! Thanks; really enjoyed this.
