    I don't think there's a better teacher on You Tube. He holds back nothing. He explains and demonstrated brilliantly, and shares generously from his vast and deep lake of experience and knowledge. Thank you Joe.
  • I like this guy.I've been painting murals since the 70's.1970's.This guy knows what He's talking about.He's not flogging products,He's giving practical advice.A very good how to for beginners & old hands can learn something too.Everyone has their own method,their own style & you can learn at any stage.If you can use it,if it works,run with it.

    I wish I had seen this two years ago before I did my mural at church for their nursery. I had not done a mural in years and had no idea where to begin! I found your channel back then and watched everything you had done. My mural turned out great, and it was because of the tips I took from you! Thanks.

    Thanks so much Joe! I am doing a big mural but I haven’t done one for years and I’ve been watching your tutorials this week getting tips and inspiration. Funny thing this morning I was thinking about supplies and you post this! So grateful! Your the best, I absolutely love your work and your style of teaching!
  • Hey Joe, I just finished watching one of your videos where you go on to say, that if an individual doesn't have enough money to order your videos, he or she can still order them because, you don't want to think that the only reason they can't continue to learn from your videos is because they can't afford the price. Wow, that is very kind of you dude! Very kind! I have yet to look up the price of your vidz, so I don't know if I can afford them or not. However, I will do all I can to not take advantage of your offer, knowing all along you deserve to be paid for your work like everyone else, and that your kindness shouldn't be taken advantage of. Thanks for being so generous...
  • Excellent, I just requested this of you... of the types of materials you use in your paintings. This video could not have been more timely. Thank you buddy for all the info. . You've helped me tremendously.
  • I'm very excited about this series, my old high school always paints murals for the back drops of the plays and we are about to start for the spring. This will help a lot!

    Dude your my hero! I'm contractor and I just started artistic painting. For my first painting I used samples of house paint and it was on 4'x8' piece of masonite and I mixed my colors on the canvas, and boy, did it dry to fast! I didn't think about using paint extender! Your an awesome artist! Keep up the good work!
  • I see your tutorial so easy to follow because you explain each step from the bottom...Tools, paints and how to apply each coat.
  • Just got contracted to do my first mural! You're a life saver <3 Thank you so much for your knowledge

    Those five dollar angled cut brush! I’m with you doesn’t have to be expensive it’s the end product. I’m lucky enough to have a set similar for dollar from Daiso here in Japan. Thank you for always caring about getting us the information and tips! I think the draw for so many viewers is your concern for us. Thank you

    😍 thank you so much. I've been wanting to know the types of paint to use for this type of work. I paint on canvas and want to try this as soon as I'm able to. This is a HUGE help.

    Thank you for making these videos and sharing all of this knowledge. You have a very good eye for colors and I'm truly impressed with your paintings. I also love how you create a lot of detail by layering the paint. You are a great inspiration. :)
