Beautifully spoken. Such wisdom, truth and humility in your words. You sat with me through videos while I attempted to paint a 40 ft. Mural in a small business that we were opening last year. Your voice was the only one that i heard in that big empty building. Thanks Joe. I appreciate you!

Joe, not only are you an astounding artist AND teacher.. you are real a soul with light speaking truth and that sets everybody free, who could ask for more? Thank you so much 🙏🎨☮️♥️👍🌍

Brother.... Thank you. I have been following since your early days. You have shared so much for nothing. Im a decorator, i would 100% pay for your courses if i needed a specific area of knowledge you have made a video/series on. You have taught me so much over the last few years. Just know you are helping and touching people all over the world. Sending love to you and yours 😍😊👌🏻🙏🏼🤗

When your family were going through really difficult times, mine was too and you were brave enough to post about it and it really helped. And you kept the creative positive flow going through so much.. You are just doing it the good way man and karma is everything. ❤️

You, Joe, are a man of integrity. Very good advice for all -- investment of time, diligence, energy, right focus.

I am so excited about your new water series! I’m quarantined at a beautiful lake and the expanse is breathtaking. Your paintings are breathtaking and I’m learning so much from you. You are a phenomenal teacher. Thank you for your generosity and inspiration! This introspective is inspiring.

Thanks, Joe, and a big shout out from South Africa!

Wow so many great lessons in your message. Very insightful. Thank you for sharing.

I so appreciate your honesty and the authenticity of your work!

accurate. you are my favorite. truly one who believes in introspection. and is deeply good. you, Joe, are what's right in this world. cheers.

At this time of "boredom", this IS SUPER nice vídeos, for EVERYONE! Thank You, Joe. San Antonio, Texas

Greetings from Cape Town South Africa. Your videos are really helpful. I appreciate the way you explain things so that they are easily understood. Great advice!

Great talk Joe!

What can I say, I think you do a great job. Keep up the good work.

Hi Joe, been a budding artist for the last 59 years. Have to say I've learned so much more from your clear, enthusiastic, engaging and informative videos than so many so called "technical" artists out there making art some kind of heavy degree that puts up barriers rather than the way it should be, fun and fulfilling. Your strength is sharing that, thank you.

The main reason why I stick to u is your sincerity! I remember u used a canvas with a hole and also rejects sponsors paint instead of using cheap one! U make me realize art can be made with anything without any fancy stuff! U made me see your hard work other than talent for sure! I really appreciate your sharing ! Keep on the way you are joe ! Love u and your work

Thank you. I have learned So much from your videos. My favorite is when you posted how to paint pine trees and their needles

I enjoy your method of teaching especially when we get to watch you do a livestream painting and you’re analyzing what you’re doing and explaining it as you go. I also relate 💯 % to how you don’t enjoy the advertising and selling aspect. It’s a totally different energy than the flow of putting ones soul into the artwork.

Yes! I have learned a lot from your videos, and the way you teach is so straightforward and easy to understand, thank you!

Thank you, Joe, for being so inspirational with your honesty and willing to share your extraordinary thoughts!

Hands down greatest youtube art channel. Can't say enough about how much you helped me learn how to be a better painter. Heart of gold.

You've taught me many artistic techniques over the years that I find priceless. I try to always be grateful for everything and am working on expressing it more often.

You have the best art youtube channel, really. And I'm subscribed to a lot of people, but when it comes to learning _how_ to actually paint, I always come to your channel. Thank you for all the lessons! Greetings from México

Joe is such a gem in this world! So much wisdom, knowledge and kindness. Thank you for all the tips and help over the years, @Mural Joe ❤️💫🙏

My son is about to begin his KZread channel in the coming months. He is a videographer and has been honing his skills working hard everyday. I know he will make a career and go far, he is very talented and I’m so proud of him! And he is a nice person, too. (Not just mum’s bias!!)

This video is incredible. I understood every word you said. I cannot thank you enough for this. This is exactly what I wanted to hear and it came at the perfect moment for me. Thank you. I am overwhelmed.

Thank boss! From the bottom of my heart you are a truly mentor of great human values... God bless you! I really wish we meet one day! Ennio

THANK YOU. Since I found your channel I’ve always looked at you like a teacher and a source of inspiration. Thanks for everything

Joe I’ve been following you for a while, I truly think you might be the most talented painter and teacher I have ever seen. I’m in awe of your work. Thank you for inspiring me and bringing your unique talents to the “masses”.

This was one of my favorite videos. Thank you very much for always being so helpful.

Thanks MJ I really needed to hear that, I’ve just finished a big commission work and have another to do. I’ve learnt so much from this video and my own exploration in oil painting. Being stubborn runs in the family but now I see the value of not being so stubborn 😂 to come at the problem at a different angle. Cheers mate

Been watching you for years, I had slow growth too, starting off in 2007. Love how you've grown in your art, always genuine too, many thanks.

Joe, You are Amazing and I Love seeing the belief you have in yourself and what you are able to teach and direct others with your words of wisdom and artwork and talent!!! I believe SO MUCH in your talent and follow your advice !!!! Love your methods and advice and talent and words of love and teaching........ I am benefiting from my belief in you!!!!

I thought I knew a lot about perspective, but no one teaches perspective the way you do. I'm glad I found your channel because without it I would never have been able to find what you teach anywhere else. Thanks for the great content!

Love this Joe. You are so real and honest and very much a giving artist ! Don’t change. I use to do murals ( retired now) and I would’ve loved it had you been around then. 🙏🏻💙

Joe you are the best congrats for all your good work you deserve it

I just found you again after watch it mg some of your videos when I first started to paint. I love your honesty and appearance of not being “too polished”. Your newer video seems to really focus more on explaining the process as well as “why” the lighting and why things appear the way they do. This helps a lot!!! If my shape is not excels like what your shape is, it’s going to react to light and darkness different than yours (Or anyone else’s that I’m trying to paint). So this helps me figure out where high lights and shadows should go. I purchased your water and wave bundle because of your honesty and your apparent desire (you appear to care) if I get what your explaining. That and your sincerity made me want to help your business and also gave me faith that I would find your product worth the purchase. Keep being you Joe! Thank you for being you!!!

I really enjoy your videos and I think that you have an easy relaxed way of teaching.

Thanks so much for the video. I truly appreciate your honesty and sharing your successes and your struggles. Great advice and inspiring words. I love your videos. My favorite is painting the ocean, crashing waves, the water foam it all makes me feel I’m there in the beach. You provide such real soul when painting, it is breathtaking. I wish you the best for each day and continue success in every project you have. Remember, the more you give, the more you will receive! In your case your returns will be 100 times more. Love your personality and the way you teach. Keep going and continue being YOU! Blessings and be safe.

I really like the colors in the picture! thank you for making such a nice mural for somebody and sharing it!

Very inspiring! You were one of those who gave me the courage to create a KZread channel and to believe in me. Thank you for knowing your channel and for everything I learn from you. Greetings from Portugal.

This is s great combination of information and philosophy, and how they relate. I love your videos, especially your livestreams. We really see how you truly are, no veneer, a real human, and it's wonderful, refreshing and relatable.

Thank you Joe so much for sharing your expertise . I have learned so much about light perspective and water from watching your content on you tube and also from those I have purchased. I realize that it comes at a huge personal cost. Take care of you

You're the man Joe! You've been the biggest influence as far as an "art teacher" for me these past 5 years. Not only tips and methods to improve my painting, but you're overall energy, wisdom and approach are why I am a lifetime subscriber. You're the type of buddy I wish I had. I really appreciate all your efforts and authenticity 🙏👏🏻

This is so meaningful just want you to know you're one of my favorite youtube artists.. you're one of the foundations of my artistic courage🙂

I feel the same way

Knowing how hard the road is and staying true to your direction, I am so pleased for you and your family that it is paying off for you, you have honed an incredible talent, and we are so privileged and thankful that you share it with the world 💎

This was the sweetest-and most realistic advice heard. Thank you.

Thank you Joe. It means a lot to me to hear your story, not that I plan on a channel but to learn you also have struggled as I do.

Thanks for keeping it super real Joe! I've been watching for a couple years now and I've found you to be so humble and relatable. I went to art school and tried to make a go at being a freelance artist. I learned the art of caricature at Sea World and tried to grow this into a business. Ultimately I've gone on to become an art teacher and it has become very satisfying. I know it fits the cliche so hard about being a failed artist so then subsequently teaching but I've found that it quenches my thirst to find meaning in my job and allows me to help others to create which is what I am passionate about. Plus I now have summers off! I can relate to what you said about the sales part. I think that being a sales person is a real skill and it takes real dedication and motivation. All I want to do is make art at my leisure and dive into it in any old way I want when I want. I now do art shows with my Dad who is also an artist. Much respect for you Joe and by the way I have learned a lot about your observations on color and light blending together and the way light interacts with surfaces. Super valuable information. Keep doing what you love Joe. It has been fun watching you grow and share what you love. Peace out.

Thank you Jo 4 this lovley Inspiration and Motivation, i almost cryed when you said that you through much trouble an hard learnig , this is not about talent, in a way you are hero. Thank you so much❤

Thank you Joe. This video was an I opener. I found it useful and inspiring. And, I will keep your kind words in mind as I start my own KZread art channel. God Bless and take care!

hello joe I have learnt alot from you I thank you I am somali. greetings from somalia

I've enjoyed watching your videos for many years now. Thank you for carving out part of your life for us!

Joe, Really nice job. Man I use you everyday trying to make myself a better painter. You are absolutely my biggest influence. Please keep me posted about workshops. I really want to get out there again and paint with you.

Joe thank you for such an open heart to share so much in this video really helps a lot to get understanding on so much stuff you have managed to understand, thank you again keep up the excellent work mate. David

I have watched you right from the start. I can't believe it's been that long, haha! It's been great fun :)

Hi Joe ! Be yourself as always you explained good techniques you know... I recommend my students to watch your excellent videos. Then, publicize your work as it is, because this is your best advertisement. I also highlight his calm speech when speaking, as a very positive point. Congratulations your work with the Blessings GOD.

Thanks bro for sharing your skills...Much respect for your personality too. Your work is really amazing and so is your ability to teach us. Nothing but love. God Bless and thank you so much 👊🏼

You're so good at explaining things! I apptrciate your account very much and learn a lot. Thank you, you're the best!

Gratz!! I learned a lot from you.

Very motivating video! It spoke to me about my financial lowdown and having to make ends meet with my family around me. The pressure is on to quit my pursuit but I’m pushing through it. Thanks so much! I’m going to create some social media accounts now and be useful where I already have been with questions from friends and family about design and writing

I'm thankful to have mural joe as a teacher.

You are amazing! My only surprise is that it took any amount of time for you to be successful on the internet. Side note: I would like you to go to the doctor and have your throat checked out. (yes I am a mother and you have sounded croaky longer than you should). Also, you should try a feather duster for clouds. You have used teddy bears, brushes etc...time to try a feather duster :) I don't mean the long ones but the one that has a handle (imagine a toilet plunger) and feathers fanning out at the end. Likely available in a dollar store/walmart. Best wishes for continued, well deserved success!

Very good advice! Thanks.

Thank you so much joe many a time i feel like pulling my hair out when a proplem arises inside me there is a determination to solve it i know there is an answer its a matter of being patient the answer will come its fascinating how the universe works big thanks for your honesty and yes joe you are extremely likeable from gaz down under

Mural Joe! You are amazing! Genuine, truthful, and wise. I have worked hard in my profession as a dentist and totally appreciate your wisdom and awareness. We would all get so much further with that self awareness and knowing who is our maker :) thank you. MEG I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I wish to be. I am not even what I hope to be.

Thank you so much . ❤ your instructions. I wanted to paint underwater ...and waves.

Joe, I REALLY like the way you teach! I'm 77 and just started linda painting. Do you ever paint like farms with chickens, horses, farm houses, etc?

That's a beautiful painting thanks

Hey Joe! I'm painting my first mural and wondering if you could help me figuring this out. I started by painting a giant tree in the corner, which is already pretty awkward. My vision was also to have the branches extend across the ceiling. But I'm having trouble getting the perspective to make sense with the angles between the wall and the ceiling. In hindsight, I wish I would have invested in a projector and made my life so much easier. But the damage is done. Haha. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance. Your work is amazing!

great job, great vid! Keep it up!

Man, can I relate to this video! (and a lot of your other viewers I'm sure)

Beautiful

YOU ARE QUITE A ARTIST....I PRAY YOUR SAVED....LOVE YOUR WORK

I've been on youtube since 2007. I miss the old days when it wasn't about money or being popular. People posted here because they wanted to talk to other like minded individuals and have fun. All I see now on youtube is vanity and dishonesty. I have so much to say against youtube I'm thinking of making a series about it. I have not and never will monetize. I think it was a bad move when they did that. One of many bad move that youtube keeps making. I refuse to give ads to my watchers and I never joined to make money as this is not what this used to be about. It was originally meant to be fun. Also everyone's focused on the "one thing". I have been and always will be a variety channel. I also strongly think that you post what you want the right people will come to you. My channel I mostly post about exotic plants but also birds, my digital art and characters, travel, vehicles and really whatever I feel like when I feel like. I refuse to give youtube a cut of my money so that's another reason I'll never have ads here. People are such slaves to this system and I hate that. Hence all the annoying begging for subscribers and thumbs. Vanity and pointlessness. I'm glad you have a real job at least where you go to houses and business and paint something. I have no doubt you'd survive without the channel.

I hope my talent isn't watching youtube videos but I'm pretty damn good at it!

Can you ALL show us how to do a butterfly/flowers painting,?

I am a huge fan of you

What about the Ps4 PRO? Anything to report on the pro/x versions of the consoles? Or is it basically the same outcome? Thanks!

Joe what is the best way if you’re painting a body in order to get it right . the legs how do you do that I bought your video I could still can’t figure it out Like if you’re looking at a face how do you figure the dimensions of the face the eyes and everything . I mean you did a fantastic job on your brother I can’t even print my cat 🐱😢

Should I just should I just do it over and over and over and over again help Joe

All you describe joe, is simply building your own business. I have opened a new company last year, and dammm it is exactly the same.

Also you need content that catches the eye and mind of a viewer. For example "Mural artist tries painting in Bob Ross style". It is not the painting but the idea to catch more mainstream viewers. "Mural artist tries cheapest paint he can find". "How to make your bedroom wall look like a safari". Every idea in my opinion has that nugget of excitement hidden into it. You wonder what it will be, how it will turn out or how silly it will look in the end. Get out of your comfort zone to provide entertainment. Something like "Professional landscape artist tries 3D perspective art and fails miserably". Don't be afraid to call your self a professional and don't be afraid to fail/be silly as these things will bring the most entertainment for your viewers. Also I'm not sure what is your audience. Does it consist of artists that learn from you like they learn from art lessons? Or KZread lurkers like me that watch any entertaining videos that they can find. I think it would be great to understand your audience's background. During your videos ask people to give you ideas on what you should do or what they would want to see and pick which ones you like the most or you can relate to. Anyone reading this comment, let me know if you can relate, if not, please also let me know! Well sorry for the long-winded comment! These ideas are just a food for thought not more!
