    It amazes me how those tiny strikes just magically turned into a really realistic wave 👏🏾👏🏾

    Thank you so very much for teaching this. I am 60 years old. And I have painted murals since I was a teenager. But I always had a hard time with painting waves. I've been to several art colleges, and schools, and never, ever, had a professor, or instructor, teach this. You have taught it in a way that is clear, logical, and simple, so that anybody could understand this subject that to many artists, myself included, see has hard, complex, and impossible to paint realistically. Thank you again not only for this video, but for all of your videos. It is very much appreciated.

    There are just few painters out there who can explain thoroughly the principle behind how things in the world works. I think this is very essential. Others simply explain the how of painting but you both explain the how and the why. You're great. Thumbs up. My deep admiration goes to you.

    At first when you did the little waves connected together to make the bigger wave , I didn't see it. It was until I stepped back to see what you were doing that I saw the wave. It was truly amazing. I thank you for this little artistic lesson/tip. It was really needed.

    Like Ace, I have studied in the best schools in Manhattan and never have received such clean instruction based on reality...i.e. the science of a wave translated into painting one.
    Thank you for a great lesson.

    Mural Joe, you are not an artist. You are an art scientist! It just shows how much of passion you have. I truly appreciate the time you take to make these videos so that others can learn. I personally find your videos EXTREMELY helpful and learning from you has DRASTICALLY improved my own artistic ability. You are my favourite artist on RUclips at the moment!! I look up to you as mentor

    Painting was my hobby right from school days. When I grew up I had a passion for oil paintings. But there were nobody to guide me. More over my profession was totally different which limited my devotion to painting. Now I am 67 and have enough time to spent with guidance from You tube. I am grateful to You tube for clearing my doubts during my painting sessions.

    • @SydneyAllisonSydneyAllison
      @SydneyAllisonSydneyAllison 8 лет назад +3

      Not sure if you're working with oils, but it helps to blend your paints with a dry brush, or do an underpainting outline of where your darker color should be with a paint thinner and some burnt sienna (it absorbs into the gesso layer so it doesn't distort the color). I recommend also watching Lena Danya's videos if you're using oils specifically. I use Joe's videos to grasp the concepts of shapes more so than I do color, because he has a unique technique that's hard for me to imitate and my own pieces looked fake, but Lena's videos are very helpful in terms of depth perception and its involvement in realism.

    Joe, "You're simply the best, better than all the rest! Better than anyone! Anyone I ever met!"-Tin Turner. I have been a viewer for years. YOU are the one who got me into painting. THANK YOU. I have never quit and love it more each day. I live in Santa Barbara my native town, and I am OBSESSED with the beach and with PAINTING WAVES. I was reviewing these videos I discovered of yours years ago, and the Tina Turner song just comes to mind when I watch your videos. Joe, you are SIMPLY THE BEST! Thank you for teaching me to paint, it has saved my life. Still wish I could meet you someday. It would be my dying wish. (My posts used to be under Paula Ellis but I am back to my maiden name.) If you are ever in Santa Barbara with your family look me up, I'll be your tour guide.

    I have a blue truck, and I work for a water department for my city, and I have been wanting to hand-paint my truck to have this particular kind of water pattern on it, and this is the only video out of a dozen or so others I've watched that really give me the pattern element I have been looking for; most of the others are trying to color- and shape-match some reference material, but I don't want reference material; I want the actual technique of the pattern so I can recreate it indefinitely all the way around, and this is the first one I found that really digs into the theory element of the wave concept, and this is what I've been looking for; thanks so much

    Wow -- I'm so grateful I spotted your hand shape in Lesson 3 and decided to listen (and Learn) to your video. I paint in watercolour but it's gonna be a translation from Acrylic/Oil to digest this information. I'm watching this Lesson 1 again and again and may end up using a gouache to finish the light-throwing tops of the waves. I've struggled with this technique - only to produce 'flat' looking paintings, put them aside and try again with same results....now, I can't wait for the weekend to try your technique and incorporate into watercolour. Thanks so much. I subscribed to your channel so I'll get all the tips I can digest to my lifelong learning of painting - I'm 68 and have only begun 7 years ago to fill my semi-retirement days!

      "This close" isn't close enough. Make that move: buy a good selection of brushes, add your paints when you can get them and get started. I attended a small art group a couple of years ago, voluntary work got in the way so now I am starting from scratch at home - I have my brushes, pencils and a rapidly growing set of acrylics almost ready to do something.
