Joel, Thanks for sharing your techniques. You are blessed with multiple talents in your art skills as well as your teaching skills. You definitely were in the Zone !! I'm looking forward to watching more. I'm new to art and looking forward to watching more of your work. Please continue sharing. Thank you !
Again a marvelous creation with an angry bison ready for a fight. My son-in-law and I were able to hunt bison in Alaska and he was lucky enough to fill his tag with a huge bull. You really can not imagine their immense size until you put your hands on them. You have captured every wrinkle and crease in its facial expression especially the wire like hair. Great job!
That’s one majestic looking bull there, Joel. I’m really liking your mixed medium look you’ve developed/continue to develop with your work. An artist wants to distinguish their work from others, obviously, and your style is one of the most unique. I’m a huge fan of your color palate with the earth tones, and also with the subjects you choose. Love the wildlife, especially the wolves and bison. To be honest, if I were a wealthy man I’d purchase every one of your original pieces before they were dry! But for now, please continue with these videos. It’s a pleasure to watch you create. You can tell how good someone is at their craft by how easy they make it look. It’s almost hypnotic! Lol. Thanks, Joel. Troy
Thank you so much for sharing your process. I love charcoal and acrylic. I can’t wait to try charcoal on canvas and maybe mix in some acrylics too!!! Your work is truly beautiful
Joel, I absolutely love your work! And I so appreciate your sharing exactly how you accomplished this beautiful piece. Years ago I started my art painting in acrylic and then moved to oil. I love how you have used acrylic to pull out the highlights in a way white charcoal would not. Thank you for this! I'm definitely going to try this. You are a gem and your videos are great!
I had a college art teacher tell me to use water with acrylic to make a wash for underpainting 30 years ago. After 30 years the science says to use a medium, I use golden airbrush medium for thinning paints to a watery-wash consistency. The reason water is shunned is that it separates the acrylic polymer and creates an unstable base for the rest of the painting, eventually, your painting may peel from the canvas. On a different note, you made me want to try charcoal on canvas. I especially liked your video on how to affix the charcoal permanently.
Joel - I am a figurative artist. I am very very fortunate to have found my teacher Roberto Altmann in Genova Italy to help me. He was a student of Pietro Annigoni which is the exact artwork and style that resonates with me. I want to say I greatly enjoy watching your work and process and it makes me see other Artists who LOVE what they do! Continued success for many many more years to come! Very inspiring for others. Thanks- Frank P. Fiametta III……I follow you on Instagram…
Wow! What a masterpiece! I love it so much! Thank you for sharing your process, the results are so stunning! I am in love with your art. I will certainly give a try at charcoal on a canvas!
Thanks for posting all these videos and explaining your steps along the way. It has helped me learn processes quicker in making my own pieces. I think I've watched every one of your videos, some several times. Once again thank you.
That was fascinating and absolutely brilliant! I had this question over using charcoal with acrylic (I'd tried once and it just ran - so great to know to use fixative!) I now feel I can have another try and experiment more. Thank you!
Your work is amazing. I am just starting to use liquid charcoal. I understand when you say you are at a point in the piece and a little intimidated to try a new step. Thank you for taking the time to share your work!
Awesome work Joel. I'm so inspired now. I am experimenting with acrylics just now and stumbled upon your video. I just need to find what I want to paint now, I'm dying to try this technique. Thank you. x
Wow, you are an amazing artist! I really enjoy your talent and passionate, kind presence. You are inspiring me to add a new twist to my drawings. Thank you!
Awesome work! I wonder if you've ever tackled a black animal and how you worked that out witht hr highlights, lightsource and how you'd create depth with that.
Hey Joel, I absolutely love this! Have you considered doing a full length tutorial video with all the steps and selling it? I for one would purchase it.
Phenomenal. I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while and thought man I’d love to see a breakdown of how you work, so I came here and was not disappointed. Amazing work.
Beautiful piece, looks like you could run your fingers through its fur. Came for the instructions, subbed for the quality of the work and your mellow, charming personality. Might be a weird thing to say but I feel like I'm watching Dave Bautista's baby brother create beautiful art. Checking out the rest of your vids. Hoping you have a materials vid and if not, please consider doing one.
Would you please publish your coming workshops? I would hope you’d consider coming to OKC when 1st Nations has their art festival or Cowboy Hall of Fame for a workshop.
Lovely piece! You are very skilled, so happy to have found your channel! I use alcohol to create textures/abstraction on my initial washes, I’ve never thought about acetone. I wonder if there’s a difference or if it just evaporates faster? I’ll have to give it a try.

So kind of you to share your process
Spraying acetone with no mask. You crazy! 😮

Awesome! I want to try experimenting with acrylic and charcoal now!
Thanks Joe. Learned a lot just from this one video. Great work!
Wow. Unique and beautifully appropriate to wildlife subject matter.
Dope 🙏🏾🙏🏾💙 thanks for this..this is going to really elevate my charcoal art..
And you are nice to look at..thanks for that too 😇

Love the dramatic presentation of your work! Not just another bison painting.
I've never seen these 2 combined before, so interesting and it looks amazing!

I honestly thought you had painted a "one-eyed" bison until you put the cool wash over it😆, then it popped into focus. Came out great!

I have, and for darker subjects I leave the background lighter for contrast. Thanks!
