Hi folks, I am amazed and humbled by how many views this video has now and how much it has inspired and helped others. I was only painting for about a year when I made it but it seems to be one of the most popular among my videos. Thank you.
thanks, Joe....I really like your approach and your relaxed attitude....one I work on in my own w/color work....again, I appreciate you and your videos...thanks
Great tutorial Joe! Gotta add that this technique works wonders on miniature paintings too. I do mostly bookmarks and have had great success using this scratching and scraping to get trees on a small scale. Now I’m gonna go try adding some rocks from what I’ve learned here today. Thanks so much. Blessings to you!
I love the way you did this,actually the watercolors will do the painting for you,love the way you followed the flow of the watercolors along with what you did and made a excellent landscape,I love to do spontaneous painting,thank you for this excellent demonstration of the way you paint and thank you for an excellent presentation. 👍😀😊❤ "For me a work of art must be an elevated interpretation of nature.

Truly amazing! Have watched a few of these USA artists dappin' and scrapin' their artistic stuff and producing in a jiffy or two astonishing realistic artwork. These guys are magicians that magician Merlin would surely give his eyeteeth to emulate such magical skill? Thank you Joe for your wonderful magical tutorial. Think I'll build a homely cabin right there by your lakeside tree where I'll happily hunt and fish and laze all summer long. Greetings from the UK.
This painting is done to look real with fun trick of trade.. I what’s it so many times. You are an incredible artist with the beautiful gift of painting but teaching as well. Thank you s much.
Just beautiful! I’m amazed that you did most of the painting with a BIG brush, and your scraping technique makes a stunning landscape. I can’t wait to try this.Thank you so much for sharing your style and techniques
Thank you for sharing these techniques. I live in Colorado and love trying to capture mountain scenes so I' really appreciate your instruction. Awesome video!
I was watching another video when this just happened to pop up. I am so glad it did! Wonderful demonstration, especially the close ups! I can't wait to try this.
Absolutely a great job. Love the medium and techniques used. I'm grateful for the contemporary techniques that sort of steer away from sooo much of the brush and water techniques, and find it somewhat freeing - and fun. Using the plastic (credit) card, painting knife, tip of the brush handle, sponge, torn pieces of napkin, fingertips, aluminum foil, seran wrap, and so much more, is revolutionary and exciting. Please keep the eye-opening innovations coming for more adventurous enlightenment in the art craft. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️🎨
Nice job! I always save those small, key chain cards. I cut one edge to create a sharp corner for tree trunks, grasses, etc. You can also scrap into the paper to leave streaks and movement on the surface of water.
Thank you for sharing this technic with us. I like scraping it's fun and you do get great looks with scraping, especially with rocks and trees. Thanks again and happy painting 😊😎 FL.
Great video! Amazing that you produced something like this in such a short period of time. It taught me something new, too, adding some paint around the scraped section to make it more realistic. Thanks so much!
If you want a variety in your scraper, make a tool from a credit card by cutting 3 of the 4 corners into different lengths. You then have a variety to use, which helps avoid repetitive marks.
Thank you so much for this video! I've, seen videos of painters "scraping" before but it was never clear what they used and when they scraped--wet or dry. You have a new fan!
I learned about the scraping rocks from Dave Usher, also warming up the foreground. But the scraping on the tree trunk is new to me. I may try that. Thanks.
This was mostly intended for the scraping, someone in our Ron Ranson group asked me to make. Thank you for your comment. I too learned a lot from Dave.
Great demo! This has always been a technique I've had trouble with. Not sure why. But your demo makes me want to try again. I just don't think my timing is ever quite right for it as you mentioned. Need to experiment a bit more.
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me
Wander full technique, very nice the way you demonstrated this scraping and the high skill you had painted a natural scene, thank you for making me knew a new technique.
This is excellent. I use oils, never watercolour, but I'm guessing this scraping technique will work just as well with wet-in-wet oil. I'm going to try now. Thanks Joe.
I am really new to watercolor and happened upon one of your videos. It appears that you are using watercolor paint somewhat like you were using acrylics with very little watercolor. Can you tell me the consistency of your paint when you are using the scraping method. I like this a lot. Thank you so much for your videos. Barbara
Love this! Cant wait to try it. I went to your ebay store but didnt see supplies. I would like to know what paper holds up under all the scraping. Also, what brand of paint. Thanks!
I used to have more in supplies but I haven’t been focused on that so much. Cotman by winsor and newton is a good all around paint for the money and I prefer fabriano for the economical papers and any good 100 percent cotton for the better paper

OMG! I love this tutorial as it has given me some great ideas.Thankyou
Thnx Joe
My question answered perfectly
Looks great beautiful picture thank you
Awesome...great demo. Thank you

I enjoyed watching your process. Painting is all about illusion ha.
True! Thanks for watching.

Yes and save your darks for the end and use that to accent any areas you want to stand out more. Thanks for watching!
Looks good. Thanks
Brilliant! Thanks so much for this. Inspiring. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍 nice technique
Very good example and great painting naturally looks biutifo and naturally
Wonderfull skills. Bravo. Very nice !!!
I think you add some texture to canevas before or after Gesso
If you want a variety in your scraper, make a tool from a credit card by cutting 3 of the 4 corners into different lengths. You then have a variety to use, which helps avoid repetitive marks.
Great tip! I’ve done this myself actually I thought about making a keychain with a few scrapers on it.
👍Thanks, Joe. Nice lesson. Great job!
Excellent 😍 merci 👌💖👍
Very helpful. Thank you.
Really beautiful, thank you for sharing.. very enjoyable😌
Thank you, going to try this tonight!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing some trade secrets!
Thank you for watching
One brush and one card wonder!
Thank you so much for this video! I've, seen videos of painters "scraping" before but it was never clear what they used and when they scraped--wet or dry. You have a new fan!

annette fournier yes scraping rocks has been around. For a while I thought I invented tree scraping but the I saw an artist in Myanmar doing it. 😀
This was mostly intended for the scraping, someone in our Ron Ranson group asked me to make. Thank you for your comment. I too learned a lot from Dave.
Joe Menza Thanks. I love the technique!
Génial ! Merci
You should have scrapped in some water lines 😎👍this was VERY helpful to watch! I love the rocks ✌️
You’re right. Sometimes you have to keep a running inventory of options in mind when painting. Glad you enjoyed.
Very beautiful! I need to try this. Thank you!
I like it!
Great demo! This has always been a technique I've had trouble with. Not sure why. But your demo makes me want to try again. I just don't think my timing is ever quite right for it as you mentioned. Need to experiment a bit more.
Thanks Steve! Longtime fan of your channel. Thanks for watching!
Joe Menza another viewer recently recommended your channel since I was trying Hakes for the first time. I’ll definitely be back. Good stuff Joe!
That’s great. We recommend your channel in our Facebook group as well.
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Julius Ellis instablaster ;)
Thank you Joe, I will try to incorporate this in to my paintings.
Love it!!!
Nice one Joe, the light red at the end really made the painting pop!
Something I noticed Dave Usher does here and there just a little dab of red it really makes a difference
Wander full technique, very nice the way you demonstrated this scraping and the high skill you had painted a natural scene, thank you for making me knew a new technique.
Moc hezký 👌
Brilliant instruction, and thank you...!
Awesome video 🌨️ next bob ross! 👍mountains for days!!! God bless you my friend, keep up the awesome videos✝️ P. S. 💖I love the blick art store 💕
Me too
Awesome Joe. Thumbs up!!
Thanks Edo!
Wonderful.
Ty a lot for sharing your experience.
enjoyed that Joe first time for me I have subscribed and look forward to watching more. Thank you
This is excellent. I use oils, never watercolour, but I'm guessing this scraping technique will work just as well with wet-in-wet oil. I'm going to try now. Thanks Joe.
Herman peckel uses the technique on oil you can get his video at APV
vimeo.com/ondemand/hp1
@@joemenzaart Thanks Joe - Herman looks great too.
Thank you. Will be trying this.
Thanks Joe... that was very helpful.
Thanks for sharing, very interesting demo!!
Love your sky.
Awesome job!
Thanks Joe!
Is this watercolour on canvas? How do you prepare it to take the paint? Really gorgeous outcome!
No this isn’t canvas but I’ve used it the kind that canvas is ready but if not you can use watercolor ground Or buy watercolor canvas
Great demo. I have been having trouble with the things you show close up. I wonder how thick the paint is where you scrape.
Experiment on paper with burnt umber, 3 different amounts
Positively beautiful❣️
awesome!!!!
superbe aquarelle, j'adore votre façon de peindre; dommage ce n'est pas en français! merci pour ce moment de plaisir!
Cool!
I am really new to watercolor and happened upon one of your videos. It appears that you are using watercolor paint somewhat like you were using acrylics with very little watercolor. Can you tell me the consistency of your paint when you are using the scraping method. I like this a lot. Thank you so much for your videos. Barbara
I use paint thicker than most. More water in the beginning and then less as I move to the foreground.
Great tip!
Magnificent technique. What paper are you using? Perhaps 300lb?
This was 140 fabriano studio
Does it work better on a rough surface paper or on a smooth type?
I would say it looks better on rough paper or paper with some visible grain. Thanks for the question.
Hi Joe, thanks for this tutorial. I notice your hake brush is multi purpose. What kind of hair is it? And manufacturer please? Heather
Heather, my go to Hake is the Ron Ranson Hake by Pro arte. I have a few in stock in my eBay shop. It’s goat hair.
Bravissimo! Grazie!
Beautiful painting. May I ask you which support have you used? Is. It paper? Thank you :)
This was painted on Fabriano studio. I use a board behind the paper and clip the paper to it.
@@joemenzaart thank you very much for your reply 🙏🙏
Thank you
Just found your channel love it by the way put some damn WD-40 on the chair😂
lol, this is an old video and I no longer have that chair. Thanks for the comment.
Great demo - is that a hake brush you are using?
Yes. It is my go to brush for this fast and loose style. Thanks!
What level of paper did you use and was it just thicker, water colour paint? It is amazing how much detail you can get from a little plastic card! :)
In this video I used 140 lb fabriano. Thicker paint works best for scraping. Take a look at my newest video I do more scraping. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Joe! I have never painted before but thanks to your videos, I am going to try my very first one
Enjoy the process and have fun with it. It can be very addictive!
Great video thank you. Can anyone see there is a Yorkshire terrier in the left cloud area....
I don’t see it but we all have a tendency toward familiar shapes. Thanks for watching!
Love this! Cant wait to try it. I went to your ebay store but didnt see supplies. I would like to know what paper holds up under all the scraping. Also, what brand of paint. Thanks!
I used to have more in supplies but I haven’t been focused on that so much. Cotman by winsor and newton is a good all around paint for the money and I prefer fabriano for the economical papers and any good 100 percent cotton for the better paper
Thank you so much!
Close ups so help the demonstration!!!
Please, what weight of paper did you use..tooth?
Sandy Davison fabriano 11x14 140 lb
Very nice ! What brand of watercolor do you use?
Cotman by Windsor and newton also Daniel smith and m graham
