I was just on my knees at the end of my rope. For some reason I came back to my PC and clicked on this. Whatever that was at the beginning of this was just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Enjoy your creative talent and how down to earth you are....so natural and real. Pleasure to watch and learn along with you. Blessings, Bettye ❤

You taught me to paint clouds. I was having so much issues but the fan brush and circular movement was fantastic for me

I am a quadriplegic living in a nursing home and I had a wonderful nurse who taught me how to paint with my mouth. I love to watch your paintings.

I like your paiting. It is very encouraging to see how it all comes together when your finished.

Love it, I could watch you paint for hours.. Keep shining your light out from the dark.. I feel uplifted after watching n adore your noises they make me smile 👍🏻

I had no experience painting and 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I started painting right after I was finished with treatments and I painted horrible but the more I painted I got better. It calms me down and keeps my mind off of things so I know what you're talking about. Keep painting!

stunning!

Love your work…VERY inspiring!

Niçe painting ❤birds, sky great jjim pahrump nv as far from the ocean. As can be 110 degrees this week

I love watching you create! You are so exceptional to teach yourself painting plus do something this way to heal yourself.

Justin, this is such a beautiful painting and you are an inspiration to me. I am a new painter and watching videos on people's techniques, etc. So far you are on the same footing with Bob Ross for me. I enjoy your calmness and creative energy.

Oh my goodness this is absolutely breathtaking! I hope to be able to capture water like this! Practice, practice, practice!

I totally agree with your introduction! Sartre is one of my favourite philosophers! We can choose to empower ourselves or become a victim. If you are a victim, you give your power to others!

You know what you are doing, it’s called improvisation! You are a great teacher,

@Justin ....your tutorials are amazing! Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I can't wait to try this one.

Just happened upon your video 4 minutes before you began. Watched your entire process. You are a brilliant painter Justin! This is a talent that remained dormant within you until such a time in your life that you took a higher road and found a new purpose--Bob Ross was a great man who inspired so many to turn over a new leaf, find beauty in all things and love life. Now, you're doing the same. May God's richest blessings carry you to new destinations. Thank you for sharing your talent Justin. This very painting you just created will greatly improve any wall space it is placed upon--a very lucky wall. Keep painting and keep spreading joy and hope through your amazing talent. The world needs more Justin's like you. ✌☯️🎨

Thanks Jason Just starting to paint thanks for all your help. Have a good evening. AJ.

I just discovered your videos today. Wow. I retired three years ago and have been painting off and on. I had a servere heart attack last February and now just am beginning to getting back to painting. I find it very relaxing. I do paint in acrylic and oil but found oil so messy with the thinner and trying to clean bushes, but have since discovered baby oil and shop towels for clean up. They work wonderfully. So Now I can get some series painting done. Please keep doing your videos. I learn slot from them. Your are great at what you do. You do not talk to much. That is just part of who you are and I for one appreciate it very much.

1:24 moment. I loved yr cute holding the brush .so realistic waves in the end !!

Amazing. ❤

I think this is amazing, you have really inspired me. Never give up, we need you. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Best wave! Thank you for sharing!!😊

Vielen Dank ❤

Hi from Ireland Justin. Love your painting and your sense of wit. Please don’t stop - I am just starting to paint with you. Fab seascape ☘️

I really want to paint after this. Tomorrow I m going to get oil paint and brushes and give it a shot. Thanks for the peptalk.

You are so right that in each painting there comes a point when you feel that something’s not okay, something’s wrong or something’s not convincing. But you know you will overcome the stage if you continue with what you are doing. One has to just hang in there, wait for the stage to pass, and you will see the end result is good.

Love your technique! The sound effects tie it all together. 😊

Absolutely. beautiful and amazing.! I love it.!

Justin you are a creator 'your paintings are phenomenal job

Absolutely stunning.

Beautiful. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Too cool for words!! Jam up painting!

Oh wow! Thats awesome Justin. Be proud!

Love this painting thanks very much for helping to uplift my spirits .

I just loved it Justin. Learnt a lot of tricks and techniques. Thanks so much. Don’t stop doing these videos.

I had been skimming through your videos at work with music in the background. I finally put the volume up and heard all your sound effects lol, They're great!!

Enjoyed following along with your tutorial. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others to discover the joy and peace that comes with painting.

Awesome realism and the light thru the wave is incredible!! I sometimes struggle with that but you made it look effortless.

An absolutely gorgeous painting. WOW!

Hi from Russia 🎉yr sea is cute .thank u very much. We want more sea 🌊 😍 🙏 ❤

So appreciate you and you sharing yourself, your talent with all of us! I hope I can do this tutorial one day!

Thank you for the video....love to see more seascapes ... preferably a tropical ocean scene

Justin, wonderful painting! Super!

Hi amazeing wave..I'm watching late night in the uk and yv inspired me to get the paint brush out and this is helping my ptsd..thankyou for all your fine work 😊

Beautiful painting. You are amazing painter and I would say that you definitely can teach.

Hold your peace! 👍💯🔥

This came out incredible

Wow, spectacular! 💖 Just discovered your channel and def a new sub. I've watched hundreds of videos in my quest to learn and you are one of two artists I'm now following as virtual mentors. While you both have very different techniques and styles, you both are tremendously talented and great teachers with much to offer anyone interested in learning. I plan to attempt this sky and wave. I tried a liner brush with my first wave and it's pretty sad - I hate the liner - love how you used the fan for so much more than typical uses.Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials. Don't ever underestimate yourself, you are truly blessed with a natural talent. Own it and be proud. 👊💖

Painting saved my life, as well...hell.."saved" seems / sounds so nonchalant....but my truth seemingly runs parrael to your experience ❤️🔥🔥

You make all your paintings seem so easy. Wish they actually were! I have to try to do these in acrylics, I'm not set up to use oils but I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you!

Great painting and video. I followed along yesterday on a 10" x 20" canvas and it came out pretty good. Not quite as nice as yours but I am happy with the results.

Beautiful!

I’ve tried multiple time, I really don’t know if I’m blending to soon. I am using oil paint with just a little dip of oil. I do some nice work blending two colors but I was all over the place here 😂. This is part of my coping skills and I love it. It seriously releases stress and sadness. It makes me happy, it takes me somewhere else. The ocean and sky is what I love to do one day I’ll master it. Thank you for this tutorial it’s absolutely beautiful! Very talented blessings always

This'll be perfect for me to improve my seascape game. Awesome Justin!

Awesome water!!! Beautiful 👍🏻

thank you it's beautiful

WOW...that is perfect. Better not be your last; I'm still learning sound effects. I talk all kinds of crazy when painting. Still honing my skills.

Loved it 👍

Wow, that is stunning!

I don't know when will I do this painting, but seeing your painting videos are like meditation to me, my mind got very calm.

Epic clouds! Oh how I loved your reaction to the "is this real" comment....you have that touch with using the brush with clouds.....please can you do more seascape...ocean waves...open ocean and such....if your feel it...thank you...enjoy watching you and listening to your thoughts as your painting. Uh oh...I'm commenting as I watch...your with red bull...believe me I know what that's like....

Hello I love the waves and u are doing a fantastic job. I am left handed as well

This painting is gorgeous Justin! I am bummed that I missed the live today and hope you'll do another one soon!

Painting gets me through .... 😊 Words spoken to my soul❤ 20:14

That’s beautiful

Awesome painting

Saudi fan here! I’ve just started watching your videos and I am hooked, painting saved my life, and the way you described how painting makes you feel all jumpy and goofey after awhile made me smile You went from lazy and grumpy to jumpy and goofey in seconds lol Anyways, thank you for your amazing videos, I watch them to fall asleep too🥺

You're so talented and I love the sounds you make haha

I’ve been watching Bob since the 80’s and before him William Alexander the old German guy. I like watching you the best. I can relate much better. Oh I couldn’t help staring at your mushroom tip in the clouds through this whole painting. Lmao!!! I’d love to have this painting for my bedroom. I love it 😏

What a wonderful painting!Love it.Greetings from Germany from Dani

Beautiful...👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

This has become my go to oil painting channel for seascapes fantastic Art Justin. I wish to paint my son a house moving gift (seascape) would I be able to copy one of your great paintings New Artist never done a oil painting before. I use to be a photograph (weddings) but loved the sea and long walks in the woods but sadly I have become house bound and disabled so I can't do this any more hence to move to painting. Love your work James from the UK

This is the first time I’ve seen you paint anything living in one of your videos 💜 Birds just like those are pretty much as far as I’ve come with painting anything living so far. You make a difference every day to so many including myself. Thank you for helping us 💜. Stay strong, healthy, happy and god bless 🙏🏻

You're quite talented 👍🏾👍🏾

I think you're really great! I use arcrylic so it's hard to get what your doing in the blending.

Found your site, like how you do your waves. Helped me with mine. I can't make them come out like Bob does his. So glad I stumbled onto you. You are really good. Subscribe too. Keep painting, love you ideas combing with mine.

I love it justin omgggg!!!!!!

Buffalo, NY in the house.

Lol love your attitude❤ The comment" is this real" I don't know, is this life real? I'm like you on that one😂 Love how you reminded me to just put the color on to force myself to put it somewhere and go from there. That's why I love oils. Thanks for turning that camera on so we can watch❤ you speck my laungage new subscriber 👍 GREAT Job love how it came out

I love the way you explain your painting process. I am new to oil painting and was wondering how you can accomplish a painting without smudging your wet oils?

👍👍😍😍😍

This is amazing ! I would love to purchase this!

You are a genius! This is stunning! Love the sound effects too - they make complete sense to me.

Can hear you👍🤗🇿🇦🇿🇦

Congratulations very nice 😎 👍 👏 Cheers Peter Wonisch Schweiz 🇨🇭 😉 👌

Super greetings from germany

Can hear you fine

Love love your work. So beautiful. Would you mind listing the brushes you used?

I emailed you for some help. I’m so stuck in the clouds lol love your work!!

Hi Justin I love what you do! Do you only do oil painting? I’ve done few but normally I do acrylic. Just a question: when you do oil do you apply something on canvas prior to color? By the way I am in Boston. Thanks

Question - did you build your easel? Or is is of a specific brand? I have been looking around for an easel that holds canvas without overlapping the top or the bottom at all like this! Also... Great painting as always! Keep up the amazing work!

Супер!!!

Are you using acrylic paints or oil?

What is liquid white?

I know this is an older video but I wanted to comment. The first thing that caught my eye was the clouds. My birthday is May 27th as well :) I love your no-bullshit, no-bones attitude. I love that you open up about what painting did for you. I have a long history full of stuff I haven't been able to get out for years. I'm hoping painting will be my saving grace like it was yours. I've wanted to get the stuff out of me for years and I haven't been able to put it on paper in writing. The little painting I have done has shown me I get a release from it. I'm hoping to paint out the pain. I'm hoping to help others through it as well. I'm an actress, singer, writer, and a lot of other bs stuff that really doesn't matter because none of that helps anyone else. Obviously, it hasn't brought the relief I need either. I've just recently taken an interest in painting and you have been an encouragement. You are fast so I really have to watch and listen but most of what I don't catch from one video I see in another one you have posted. Not being critical at all. You're just good and know what you are doing... I'm not and haven't even got started yet so it's going to be slow at first. I've been watching for some clouds that are a little darker... sort of angry but not too much. I have a vision of what I need to paint. These are beautiful. I could write a song around this one painting using the clouds. I can't wait to try to paint these. Thank you for these amazing tutorials you put up. You are pretty special because you are so transparent. In a world full of fake ass people it's nice to find someone who isn't. You give people like me the courage to try something even if it's a mess. Kinda like my life has been over the years. You can take what looks like a mess to someone else and turn it into something amazing. I want to be able to do that. I think you have shown people no matter how cracked and broken you are you can make ashes into beauty. Thanks Justin.

You need to stop being so hard on yourself. Your paintings are beautiful!

Subscribed for that Intro bro.. You are a man that has touched rock bottom, it makes you a Huge man! It makes me think that art doesn't belong to woke people, they are actually destroying it.

Are you still painting?
