I am absolutely thrilled to see a lefty paint. I am left handed and it is so much easier to follow along with a left handed person. Also I like the fact that he does the cloud shadows and tree shadows totally opposite from everyone else. I do the same thing! Beautiful work. Thank you.
You all probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
Wow, I just want to say thank you. I randomly searched how to paint landscapes and happened to click on your video first. You truly are an inspiration. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety a lot lately. Art use to be something I enjoyed in highschool but I haven’t done much of it since. I just attempted my first mountain painting.... and honestly it’s easy to feel frustrated because you’re imagining something completely different in your head. I appreciate how you value the journey and just painting for yourself. To help release feelings and emotions. Not worrying about anything else. I’m learning how to be patient and understand it’s about the process. Your work is beautiful! I’m thankful I came across your channel. I’m excited to watch more of your videos. Thank you for your positive influence and sharing! What you said at the end of the video really hit home for me. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!
Wet on wet is an awesome process.. I used to watch ol Bob Ross years ago on sundays. It truly inspired me to go get the supplies and get busy .. It gives me such a feeling of accomplishment when I'm doing this. It also lead me into the next level of oil painting. Now I'm really going crazy into the finer touches of detail.. now it takes 4 days to do a painting instead of 1 hour.. I really appreciate your videos.. Keep up the great work. It looks fantastic..
Thanks Justin for your tutorials and for your kind words... Your paintings always inspire me.... I have tried this painting today, it has come out well and I'm really happy today..... Thank you so much
Justin, I just wanted to tell you that your work is absolutely stunning. I went down. That same dark road of depression and its a monster. You have a beautiful mind and a beautiful heart. Thank you so much for sharing. There is alot to be thankful for in this life and there are so many people, because of people.such as your self, are learning of the beauty whithin themselves. Thank you again and I look forward to more of your beautiful creations.
Justin I appreciate the time you take to explain what your doing. This helps me in so many ways. That's what drew me to your channel. It helps me to slow my anxiety and anger that I struggle with. Helps me to concentrate. You also say "however you feel comfortable" wich gives a feeling of being in control to. This was hard for me to throw out so please no bad comments . You are so talented. Thank you, thank you for finding art as a way to deal with your life and using it in a way that helps save others who are struggling.
After watching you create this awesome sceen I have decided to come HOME to alla prima!!! I was doing much better emotionally when I could blend, and smoosh, and just play on a canvas like I did on my guitar. The clean-up of oils sent me over to acrylics. I call acrylic painting, "The fight" Each painting is like going into combat! Not a relaxing afternoon of, "oops, I don't like that area of the meadow I'm painting, so I'll just smoosh it into the hills behind it." My God, why did I ever leave? Well you have brought me back, and I'm here to stay... clean-up and all. Your paintings got my attention because, in my opinion they are a pretty big notch above the tsunami of wet/wet people out there. They have the grandeur that makes the clean-up worth it. Thank you so much. I'm off to the art supply shop. I'm back on paint thinner. I wish I could afford odorless. It'll still be worth it just to be able to smoosh again.
I have decided I really like you. I am growing thanks to you and I can see you are too. You are turning into an incredible teacher! Thank you so very much for you time and knowledge!
Thank you justin for sharing your painting but also for your thoughts. I wish I had received your insite 30 years ago when I suffered with depression. Thank god you didn't end it all.
Great messages to your viewers especially beginners as painting is about you expressing what is deep inside yourself and if others like it well, that is the cherry on top. Thanks Justin
Thank you so much!! You have no idea how helpful for you to say things like “don’t take too much time on this” because I tend to overdo my paintings and they become bad. But this is absolutely amazing! I managed to trust the process rather to throw it away immediately and I love the results :) this helped my grades become higher for my painting assignments
I was just watching one of your tutorials landscape Paint 101. I am also an artist... When you said this was your favorite type of painting And it makes you feel good when you do it... I have That exact same feeling.. When I do mountains...Great work!!
Wonderful message to all your viewers. I very much appreciate you taking the time to explain to us that we need to have self-confidence in ourselves and not to compare our art to yours, which I often find myself doing. I have been painting since June 2021. It was very relaxing during Covid 19. Thanks again, Justing for all of your helpful hints. God bless you Justin. You totally rock!!!
Thank you so much Justin for sharing such an incredible work, techniques, tips and the nice words of advice. You are amazing, may God bless you for being such a helping person.
Hi Justin. You paint exactely like Will Alexander and Bob Ross, including brushes and knife. You sure must be the best and more accomplished of all their followers. Congratulations. Love your painting. Fabulous job.
Another observation....the details you put in looks like you took days to accomplish...but, with your talent of perspective, it has taken only a short time. Your attention to detail is absolutely amazing...and you do it with such ease. I can only hope to be able to accomplish something as beautiful. You have been given a God given talent my friend! 🙏🏻
Every time you move the palette knife, the brush, the additional color, I think “oh he’s gonna mess it up.” And then you make magic instead.So beautiful.
Great work again, Justin. Just love your work. I am new to painting (and any other art form) and I am about 30 paintings in. I use your videos when I get stuck because I usually can find an example of how a landscape could be formed or how a tree could help a background. Thanks for all the encouragement. Keep them coing, Brother.
Another place in paradise. I just love your paintings! I am trying every day to do better. I am new to painting, and I am loving it. Thank you for showing us how you make these beautiful paintings.
Great job. Justin you spoke about the clouds. I like the way it turned out ref the clouds behind the tree. It makes the picture more even and natural. Because clouds are always all over the sky. Praying you have great success with your art studio. I feel this is what God has brought into your life for your peace and feeling fulfilled. Beautiful Beautiful Job!!!!!! I know you will be a BIG SUCCESS!!!!!!!
I tried painting the mountail.. yo! Dude i had a problem. I paint with right.i wasn't able to bring it.i even tried painting with left. i remember last night at 3am following you video and when i was done with my mountain. i was like wtf is this. It looked like big cotton cloud. Lol..i really admire your mountains. Its not something we can get to in just a short period.i will try my best.
Dear Justin, Thank you very much for your wonderful work! It really helps a person who's never believed he could paint to get confidence and inspiration. My only humble plea - could you show along with the painting the way how you mix the oil? Thank you!!!
that was amazing to see how it all came together from a white canvas to the final scene it has inspired me to try and paint. I already draw but I may try painting.
You are so awesome!! I suffer from depression as well. I had a hard childhood where there was abuse that I found myself carrying it into adulthood. Married a narcissistic, abusive man stayed married to him for 30 years thinking it was my fault and he was all I would ever have. Nobody else would want me. Well he ended up going to jail and I have divorced him and have found out that it wasn’t me at all. He was just mentally sick. I’m learning who I am and enjoying life. Jesus has been so good to me through all of this journey. It’s awesome that you are so willing to share your struggles. Your paintings are beautiful. You are a beautiful person and this world would be a sad place if you weren’t here. Keep going, one day at a time. No one is promised tomorrow, so enjoy today and the positive people in your life. I am so wanting to learn to paint. Do you have a video that shows how to set up and the supplies needed to paint? Do you use anything on your canvas before you start painting? Do you have se acrylic or oil paints? God loves you so much and so do we. Thank you for everything you do.
Hi, Justin! Just few videos ago I found your channel, subscribed and looking forward. Great videos. Painting is new in my life, just started learning. I enjoy your open personality, sincerity very much. Watching your videos simply makes my feel good and calm and I get painting lessons as a bonus.
I have just discovered your shows....am in awe! I’m from Southwest Virginia in the mountains of the Blue Ridge....would love to see your interpretation of that area. I’m a painter, new to oils, so, would love to see what you see! Keep up the good work....you are amazing!
You're the most honest, honorable, genuine, generous person on RUclips brother! Very few people even have the concern for other people, who they don't know personally, on their radar! Here you are pumping out all these videos, some half hour others over an hour and you post the entire paintings start to end for free! You don't have to go online somewhere to pay to see the whole painting, which there's nothing wrong with, but you don't do that. You're concerned for people who've been broken hearted, some from childhood, others through relationships etc, and you've come from a serious depression, which again, so many people are terribly afflicted by and many people suffer horribly and have no clue why? That can be even worse than knowing the reason! I've not experienced prolonged depression, but I went through a four year period having lost 12 close family including my 45 year old brother,who left four young daughters behind, and his wife died a year later, my mother, and my father under very tragic circumstances, and on and on. That was incredibly hard and so I do appreciate the heart ache others have experienced. My own wife had an absolutely horrific childhood being the eldest of three girls and a boy with brutal, vicious alcoholic "parents" Being the eldest, my wife protected her siblings, very often taking hell for them. She was cooking, cleaning the house, doing laundry and serving beer and booze at 5 years old! She was about 9 when she started cutting grass. Like a lot of verbally and physically abused children she was heavy as a child, and was convinced she was worthless, useless, unlovable and nobody would ever want her because she was filthy garbage and by the time she was 10 years old she was broken. Her "parents" were both vicious, sadistic drunk animals! When my wife reached 14 she decided if she took pills, "diet pills" she could get thin and maybe someone would like her? Of course nobody would ever want or love her, but maybe someone could like her? She had no friends all through public school because she was warned to get straight home after school and never to bring anyone home with her. When she reached high school she made friends with two awesome girls who lived in the neighborhood. Then when her next younger sister went to high school a year later, the four of them became very close. When my wife lost all the weight she was 115 lbs and extremely pretty. Boys took notice! She was constantly being approached and there were a few really nice young fellas who were constantly trying to hookup but she shot them all down because she believed she was garbage. The story about how we got together would take far too long to tell but she amazed her sister and two friends when she agreed to go with them to see what was my band performing Beatles and Wings greatest hits, and the moment I stepped out on stage, I was lead vocalist, she absolutely stunned them by telling them "I'm gonna marry him"!! I never even saw her that night, the place was overbooked and wall to wall people! From the stage we could only see into the first maybe ten rows, and they were in the balcony, so I never saw her. And yet a series of bizarre circumstances happened, and about a year and six weeks after that strange statement to her sister and their two life longs friends Carm and Mel, we were married! God works in mysterious ways!! It took me years of understanding and tremendous effort before she finally able to see her own beauty and worth, and so I have a tremendous respect for this effort of yours Justin, it is so very important, especially in a time where we've been trained to believe material things and money are more important than people. At a time when you are called a "racist" for every menial difference of opinion, which has got to just destroy real victims of racism, which is thankfully more and more rare, but this is yet another fact of today's reality where we've gotten so far away from caring about each other. What you're doing is so so wonderful and awesome brother, and so very few are even aware of the fact that we cannot tell what the state someone's heart is by the way they look, or because they "seem" happy and confident around others. Broken spirited people are experts at hiding their pain and damage out of self preservation and shame, and these people need all the love and care and help we can give them. So my brother, having loved some broken hearted people with crushed spirits, I thank you from the bottom of my heart brother! If there is ever anything I can do, please brother, please let me know because it would be such an honor to help you out in this Godly, awesome endeavor. And I think it's important also to say we also have to try and deal with the people causing this tremendous damage. Very often they've been victims of similar abuse and if we fail to address these people we risk more victims becoming bitter and causing damage to their children. It's rare, but it happens. I dealt with my wife's father in an unfortunate way, but he gave me little choice. In the end, he quit drinking because of the incident, and we became very, very close and he was a dear, awesome, repentant friend for the rest of his life. Her mother saw the difference in her husband and it inspired her to quit drinking and I loved her dearly and in the end we took her in when she got Alzheimer's when nobody else, understandably wanted her, and we cared for her for the remainder of her life, which was six years and the last few years were incredibly difficult, but I wouldn't change a thing. She passed in the house about four or five years ago in a very emotional final few hours when I managed to get the entire family - the kids - her in time to make peace and love each other before she took her last breath over here and her first over there! God Bless you my brother and God Bless all the suffering. Jack - Canada ~'()'~
@@PaintingWithYovette Thank you. There are so many hurt people and Justin is such an awesome person who is making a real difference. Take care Yovette Jack ~'()'~
@@PaintingsbyJustin I always look forward to your paintings brother! I see things opening up for you and as usual you've take the opportunity God has given you, and turned into something awesome to help others! You're awesome brother man! Jack ~'()'~
I don`t know how to paint but i am doing it any way and when I look at my paintings I am happy and that counts. You are my big inspiration and thank you for all the tips. Love from Slovenia.
hey Justin i am an 15 year old teen boy currently learning oil painting under the guidance of my teacher. when i was searching for epic landscapes for my school work i saw your painting its awesome. Keep your good work.
Bro, this is amazing. I love seeing the progress in your paintings. Been watching your videos for a while now but I just stumbled upon this one and I can tell you have progressed SO much in just the 4 months. Keep it up my dude, you rock!
You are a great artist, before that you are a great personality to explain in such a deep detailing. It's very useful for a person like me, as a beginner. You are giving us courage to do it freely. Thanks a lot for a lengthy video
Thank you for making these videos they really help me because lately I seem to drift deeper into depression and having a hard time fighting it. Thank you again for your art and understanding means a lot.
Are you painting with acrylics? That is what I am trying to learn with. I love landscapes and you do beautiful work, I know that your wife is very proud of you.
No this is oil based paint with a base coat on the canvas which allows the paint to blend easier. The only downside is that oil paint can be very pricy. However I have been doing landscape paintings and have even sold some of them, and they have all been made with acrylic paint and water!
I Love It! and Exactly. I feel the same way Justin, helps me overcome some past issues and want to help others the same way! emotions and transformation! right on!
I've never done any painting but recently I've started watching this type of video. They all use a similar process. When they put in the sky (apparently always the first thing ). It looks to me like way tpo much paint but when it's finished it looks great.
You help meso much! I believe You Are the Best Landscape Artist I have ever seen! Ilove the large mountains,and the fact you only Use a Few individual Trees , This Makes Your Mountains Incredable, This Mountain is Fantastic,And I Loved The Colors You Used
Watched tonight and am in AWWWW for the talent that you have!!!! You are so good in teaching your techniques and I am so lucky to have found you. I have yet to go beyond the fir trees, but I will. I subscribed when I first saw you, I knew you would be my teacher. I wish I could take a class in person or visit your gallery. I will continue to watch and please continue to bring your beauty to us. During these times, it amazes me that we can still find relief thru expression, something I want to continue to do. Thank you Justin, God truly blessed you with such talent and success. I will forever be one of your fans, and I will continue to bring my emotions on canvas!!!
Hi Justin. Wonderful teacher and amazing artists. I watch you nearly every day as I’m learning the craft. Would you share where one can purchase the same brushes for this style of painting?
I really like your clouds they are much easier to make I halve a lot of trouble making clouds. Thank for helping me see that it’s not so scary Thank you
Thank you for this beautiful painting and message. I don't usually comment on videos but your words brought tears to my eyes. My painting looks nothing like yours but the bottom line is this helped me turn my mood around. Thank you once again, you are very genuine.
Justin..This is absolutely gorgeous ,would be such a nice place to sit and have complete peace..I know you made it up but it’s just so beautiful a view..Goodluck on your Studio and Gallery I hope you have a great success ..your doing it for all the right reasons and your a good man and very talented too 😀
Thank you Justin for taking your time to explain how you achieve your wonderful mountain details . This steady step by step approach makes the learning easy to follow and much more easier to understand . I'm so glad you have shared this video and i'm sure my mountain painting will greatly improve on my next painting day . Happy painting to you.
I am absolutely thrilled to see a lefty paint. I am left handed and it is so much easier to follow along with a left handed person. Also I like the fact that he does the cloud shadows and tree shadows totally opposite from everyone else. I do the same thing! Beautiful work. Thank you.

Justin I appreciate the time you take to explain what your doing. This helps me in so many ways. That's what drew me to your channel. It helps me to slow my anxiety and anger that I struggle with.

Thank you, thank you for finding art as a way to deal with your life and using it in a way that helps save others who are struggling.
aajw99001 thank you for this comment !
After watching you create this awesome
sceen I have decided to come HOME to
alla prima!!! I was doing much better emotionally when I could blend, and smoosh, and just play on a canvas like I did on my guitar. The clean-up of oils sent me over to acrylics.
I call acrylic painting,
"The fight" Each painting is like going into combat! Not a relaxing afternoon of, "oops, I don't like that area of the meadow I'm painting, so I'll just smoosh it into the hills behind it."
My God, why did I ever leave? Well you have brought me back, and I'm here to stay... clean-up and all. Your paintings got my attention because, in my opinion they are a pretty big notch above the tsunami of wet/wet people out there. They have the grandeur that makes the clean-up
worth it. Thank you so much. I'm off to the art supply shop.
I'm back on paint thinner. I wish I could afford odorless. It'll still be worth it just to be able to smoosh again.
I have decided I really like you. I am growing thanks to you and I can see you are too. You are turning into an incredible teacher! Thank you so very much for you time and knowledge!
Thank you justin for sharing your painting but also for your thoughts.
I wish I had received your insite 30 years ago when I suffered with depression. Thank god you didn't end it all.

Yes, that's it. The talent to understand and then portray perspective. I need to watch more to learn.
Every time you move the palette knife, the brush, the additional color, I think “oh he’s gonna mess it up.” And then you make magic instead.So beautiful.

Dear Justin,
Thank you very much for your wonderful work! It really helps a person who's never believed he could paint to get confidence and inspiration.
My only humble plea - could you show along with the painting the way how you mix the oil?
Thank you!!!
The one hour of my life best spent.Thanks
My name is Justin and I'm left handed too. If I ever want to start painting, it's obvious who's tutorials I will be following.
that was amazing to see how it all came together from a white canvas to the final scene it has inspired me to try and paint. I already draw but I may try painting.
You’re a very good teacher as well as artist, very encouraging and sincere. I love your videos and find them very helpful. Thank you!
You are so awesome!! I suffer from depression as well. I had a hard childhood where there was abuse that I found myself carrying it into adulthood. Married a narcissistic, abusive man stayed married to him for 30 years thinking it was my fault and he was all I would ever have. Nobody else would want me.

It took me years of understanding and tremendous effort before she finally able to see her own beauty and worth, and so I have a tremendous respect for this effort of yours Justin, it is so very important, especially in a time where we've been trained to believe material things and money are more important than people. At a time when you are called a "racist" for every menial difference of opinion, which has got to just destroy real victims of racism, which is thankfully more and more rare, but this is yet another fact of today's reality where we've gotten so far away from caring about each other.
What you're doing is so so wonderful and awesome brother, and so very few are even aware of the fact that we cannot tell what the state someone's heart is by the way they look, or because they "seem" happy and confident around others. Broken spirited people are experts at hiding their pain and damage out of self preservation and shame, and these people need all the love and care and help we can give them.
So my brother, having loved some broken hearted people with crushed spirits, I thank you from the bottom of my heart brother! If there is ever anything I can do, please brother, please let me know because it would be such an honor to help you out in this Godly, awesome endeavor.
And I think it's important also to say we also have to try and deal with the people causing this tremendous damage. Very often they've been victims of similar abuse and if we fail to address these people we risk more victims becoming bitter and causing damage to their children. It's rare, but it happens.
I dealt with my wife's father in an unfortunate way, but he gave me little choice. In the end, he quit drinking because of the incident, and we became very, very close and he was a dear, awesome, repentant friend for the rest of his life. Her mother saw the difference in her husband and it inspired her to quit drinking and I loved her dearly and in the end we took her in when she got Alzheimer's when nobody else, understandably wanted her, and we cared for her for the remainder of her life, which was six years and the last few years were incredibly difficult, but I wouldn't change a thing.
She passed in the house about four or five years ago in a very emotional final few hours when I managed to get the entire family - the kids - her in time to make peace and love each other before she took her last breath over here and her first over there!
God Bless you my brother and God Bless all the suffering.

I don`t know how to paint but i am doing it any way and when I look at my paintings I am happy and that counts. You are my big inspiration and thank you for all the tips. Love from Slovenia.
Awesome !! Yes that’s right , who cares what they look like. Be happy for the feeling !
hey Justin i am an 15 year old teen boy currently learning oil painting under the guidance of my teacher.
when i was searching for epic landscapes for my school work i saw your painting its awesome.
Keep your good work.
I also do song covers and a few other things!
Absolutely beautiful work . I see how you love paintingg landscapes.
Bro, this is amazing. I love seeing the progress in your paintings. Been watching your videos for a while now but I just stumbled upon this one and I can tell you have progressed SO much in just the 4 months. Keep it up my dude, you rock!
You are a great artist, before that you are a great personality to explain in such a deep detailing. It's very useful for a person like me, as a beginner. You are giving us courage to do it freely. Thanks a lot for a lengthy video
Thank you for making these videos they really help me because lately I seem to drift deeper into depression and having a hard time fighting it. Thank you again for your art and understanding means a lot.
Are you painting with acrylics? That is what I am trying to learn with. I love landscapes and you do beautiful work, I know that your wife is very proud of you.
No this is oil based paint with a base coat on the canvas which allows the paint to blend easier. The only downside is that oil paint can be very pricy. However I have been doing landscape paintings and have even sold some of them, and they have all been made with acrylic paint and water!
Really enjoyed you painting, and the way you explain how your painting. I look forward to seeing your next...
I love you, you're amazing !!!!
Unbelievabley beautiful, you inspire me in my journey in the creation of Art. Thank you.

I've never done any painting but recently I've started watching this type of video. They all use a similar process. When they put in the sky (apparently always the first thing ). It looks to me like way tpo much paint but when it's finished it looks great.

I won’t be able to watch live but will watch tomorrow, for sure! And my easel is ready for tomorrow to start the beach wave you did last week :).
Or I guess it was three weeks ago lol.
Watched tonight and am in AWWWW for the talent that you have!!!! You are so good in teaching your techniques and I am so lucky to have found you. I have yet to go beyond the fir trees, but I will. I subscribed when I first saw you, I knew you would be my teacher. I wish I could take a class in person or visit your gallery. I will continue to watch and please continue to bring your beauty to us. During these times, it amazes me that we can still find relief thru expression, something I want to continue to do. Thank you Justin, God truly blessed you with such talent and success. I will forever be one of your fans, and I will continue to bring my emotions on canvas!!!
