    My son grabbed my arm yesterday and pointed to the sunset. "Look, mom--those clouds are as beautiful as the ones Mural Joe paints!" You are doing an awesome job, and I really thank you for posting these.

    This guy is a great teacher which is better than a great painter when you want to learn. Great presentation great work and great articulation

    You are one hard working artist and you are really blessed with lots of talent. We all appreciate your videos. Don't worry about the rocket science comments. As long as your making a living at this, that's all that counts. You a re a great artist. Thank you very much.

      It takes a special type of intellect to be an artist. Joe is a genius at perceiving patterns and in understanding natural phenomena.

      I'm not going to read the comments to find out what was said about anything rocket science oriented; however, if someone is saying this isn't "rocket science," well, first, no. It isn't. ;) (At least they got that much right!) Second, if they are here watching the video for any length of time, they are probably here to learn and feeling a little out of their league! Third, Mural Joe isn't painting-by-number; he's painting by-hand! I agree with A Martin, "It takes a special...intellect, (and)... Joe is a genius!"
      I came to find out about painting a beach sunset on a large wall. I have *never* painted more than maybe trim around a window or some shelves - plain, blocky, done. :) So I'm absorbing all I can about light, depth, color, etc., and I'm thrilled to be here! Thank you, Mural Joe! "Liked & Subscribed!"

    Thank you for this. I’m currently doing a mural of clouds in a room and I have overthought the process. I can paint anything on a small scale,but for whatever reason a mural is so intimidating. These tips help so much!

  • @Jere4319

    I really appreciate that you give such clear directives, are non pretentious and just do wonderful work. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your videos...thanks so much. Currently, well it's been ongoing: this work in progress of mastering atmospheric clouds. Your instruction in this video offers a clear path even as others are fine but I like a 'road map' if you will. :) So much of my work is inspired by the local South Louisiana landscape so you can see why I really need and want to be able to provide beautiful clouds.

    OHMYGOSH!! I just started really painting about 7 months ago and it all started after years of watching Bob Ross. I've been struggling with clouds (not that I can't make the BR blended clouds) and want them to look like what I see out of my window. I've watched countless videos and asked a million questions and until finding your video I was still very down in the mouth about my clouds. My first set of clouds I did with acrylic paints looked like a cotton ball spaceship... my other clouds have always blended away into almost air. I've wanted those layered clouds that you can almost reach out and touch for my paintings as I'm getting ready to paint the side of a mini camper my husband built! Your video is golden for what I've been trying to learn. Thank you so much!!!!! I can not wait to try my clouds with this tutorial! OMGOSH I'm excited about painting these.

    perfect lesson for a "never painted a cloud on a wall" Grandmother! I'm making a Beatrix Potter room for my Granddaughters & I have the room painted blue & green...now just need the clouds & some meadow grass. You explained things perfectly & I am going to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your talent.

    Thank you very much for posting this video. It was extremely informative and I certainly learned a lot. The tips on what types of paint to buy are great because I usually end up with colors that are either too similar or too contrasting if I attempt to pick them myself. I have been intending to paint something similar for a while and your video has now made this a more happily anticipated experience for me. The shadowing is beautifully done-I fully intend to check out other videos of yours!

    Thanks for being straight with your teaching, MuralJoe. That's the most directly informative lesson on art I've ever had. Everywhere else just seems to gloss over the important stuff.
    (I'm an digital artist/animator and I'm trying to refine techniques and I always struggled with clouds. I'm confident your method will help me improve- despite the fact it's digital work)

    Well, I'm not an artist by any means but I do love to draw and paint. I wanted to paint clouds in my bedroom because I have this whole sky theme going on and thought clouds would be a nice touch to the dull blue wall. However I have been absolutely DREADING doing the clouds. I saw your video and am so inspired!!..Meaning I may have to hire you instead of doing it myself!! D8 In all seriousness, you are amazing and I just LOVE your talents. God bless you and your career!!
    (and wish me luck, too!)

  • @muraljoe
    @muraljoe  11 років тому +5

    I use the same paints that people use for exterior walls. Just keep in mind that oil base is slower to apply and fades in the sun. Water base is not quite as resistant to moisture. I would still use all exterior acrylic paint though and then use an acrylic exterior clear coat over it as well. I just don't know what products you have there in the UK. I use a lot of Sherwin Williams for exteriors. A lot of painters here like Dunn Edwards too. I'm sure there are many other pro opinions about brands

    Great video! I am attempting this in a friend's new nursery this weekend. Your video is so good, it gives me the confidence so that I feel like I can actually accomplish it. I will have your video on my phone so I can reference it when needed. Someone mentioned above that your narration sounds like "a cross between Maguiver and Charles Bronson", we actually think it sounds more like David Blaine! Thank you for a great video!

  • @muraljoe
    @muraljoe  11 років тому

    Yeah I know what you mean. I would look for a small angled brush. Same shape as the big one I use but small, just like the one I use in How to paint Ocean Water. I rarely use any other brushes.
