I've been alive for many years. I use to think it was skill, then talent, but these people must be born with it... it's in their DNA. There is no way that I see the things this guy does. And it takes an unbelievable amount of talent and skill to take what he sees to the canvas.
Sweeet. One of my favorite vids of yours is the "how to paint real flames" because at the time I was looking for techniques to paint flames on vehicles/helmets/etc. But even though that particular vid had you working on canvas/board or whatever it was, I learned so much from it because the techniques translate very well to automotive. Imagine my excitement when I see that you come out with this vid showing you using those techniques on a car!!! What can I say Joe, other than I aspire to have a career such as yours where you can create works of art either in someone's home, workplace, or vehicle. Very inspirational! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!!!
I'm sure you have heard of him by now, but Mike Lavallee is the king of the true flame. He does his in the reverse of yours. Starting with the orange and putting a red kandy over it, then moving on to the lighter colors as he goes. Seems like your technique works just as well.
Nicely done bro! I love to see the similarities and differences we all use and add to become original styles!! Your quite handy with that Airbrush! Any particular reason you prefer the paintbrushes?? Big Cheers!!
dude i do a lot of art(painting and sculpting) and man i must admit, your work is seriously some of the sickest shit ive seen and if u do some how find a way to make that even better than pls share even id its just pics of work done... the way u do your technique is phenomenal and left mw speechless man
Amazing word ....god bless you ..I leaned a lot from watching different videos for you..very talented and smart . All what I do is oil painting on canvases for nature ...watching your videos makes me want to paint different things and subjects .
Thanks Joe, for the great detail! I like that your flames look so real and truly ‘gas like’. They look like they are captured in movement, which looks incredible!
I was so sad when the video ended. I wasn't ready lol. =( I love the way you explain things. I have expressed that quite a bit in comments here on UA-cam, so I won't go overboard with that lol, but this video just made me feel that even more. I think the way you explain/teach really just grabs my attention and engraves itself into my mind. Always appreciate your videos so much. Thanks for making them! You've really impacted me as an artist, and even as a person with the way I see things or try and dissect things. =) you're awesome! Don't ever stop teaching and sharing! I'm just one person, the art world needs you! Lol
We got inspired and did some painting yesterday! Your accurate description of the flame as having four sides ("a little cloud of gas"), and pointing out the color progression helped a lot. We looked for an airbrush template like the one you used, and found some good DIY ideas for how to create one. Also spent some time just looking at pictures of real flames. Your tips and observations helped us "see" better, and we're hopeful that with practice, we will get better results. Thank you! BTW, we've been waiting to see you paint a hot rod for a long time. :)
Hey Joe, nice job on the flames and the in depth info on how you see the colors of a flame. But I need to ask, what in the world are your shields made of ? They look like thin plywood in the video, but can't really tell. Would be cool if you had a link to the shield shapes, for others that wanted to try it your way along with the video.
jean luc Yeah, I think it's definitely possible to do it with brushes. It would just be hard to get a nice smooth automotive finish with it. You could totally do it on a painting though.
i used to hate painting with urethanes etc, too toxic even with a mask. i'd get horrid head rush weird dizziness headaches and just plain dementia or something . that shit is bad for ya, or at least bad for me. Especially can't go near 1-shot anymore. All water based acrylics now
philip overholt In this one, It's Sherwin Williams automotive paints for the colors and then the clear coat was sprayed on by Andy's Auto Body but I think it's a just a high quality polyurethane that's typical for automotive use. I tried thinning these with xylene. That was a mistake. It separated the paint. I had to use the specific solvent that SW made for those paints.
im so sorry but as a mural painter, you are awesome....but as a auto graphics painter which i am...those are the worst real or any other kind of flames so called i have ever seen....please dont do that on someones car again...watch some videos on the subject.
First I just want to say I respect your opinion. Now, these are some really good flames in my opinion. I've been searching videos for the last 2 hours just looking at flames being painted on cars and came across this video. I was honestly amazed. I'm no auto paint expert, maybe he missed a step somewhere but the flames look amazing.
wgbsigns123 I haven't noticed Mike Lavallee doing any tutorials on his flame jobs. Maybe you can use your pull in the industry to force him to give up his secrets?
Johnson Arms Props he uses a arc shield and freehand, red base coat then red candy coat, then orange base coat then with red candy coat, then orange base with orange candy coat, then yellow base coat with orange candy coat then yellow with yellow candy coat then white highlights with yellow candy coat then white hot spots...building layers and depth with this process.... then he blends in some purple in the depths of the flames...hope that helps alittle
Hands down the best explanation of real flames on UA-cam. Well done, you got a subscriber.

Really appreciated the in depth commentary coupled with watching you work on this tricky subject. The flames look stunning! Great vid.

Excellent explanation of the process and nice flame work on the car

Are you kidding me ? I’m glad you said you’re always looking for that better way. ...

You're my favorite artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing man, to me your flames look more realistic thans Mike Lavallees. But both you guys are amazing extremely talented artist.

Thank you for explaining every detail, I love that. :-)
Great video, really useful, what is your stencil made of? Thanks Den
Beautiful work.
Nice! How would you tackle this with brushes, please? ( maybe not on a car though)
Way cool, I dig the technique. When you are spraying the reds and yellows, are you using opaque, translucent or cand colors?
Thank you.
Great job...
I'm new using air brush...
What kind of paint do you use?
all your work is a pure delight,tnx
Great work Joe
Legend, thank you
where can i get a template like the one you are using?
😮😯🤤 awesome work!
Amazing!
love it! thanks for the demo!
I am so inspired I'm ready to paint all the cars in the parking lot. oK I know I will have to ask permission first. ha
Thanks for this video please one more
hello lovely as always excellent work by saying against me is it possible to make flames brushes
jean luc Yeah, I think it's definitely possible to do it with brushes. It would just be hard to get a nice smooth automotive finish with it. You could totally do it on a painting though.
Thanks Joe. ❤️👍
how would you do this with regular paint and a paintbrush? i dont have an airbrush
Did you make your stencil?
please can you give me the detail of your painting ink...?
Where did you get the stencil?
My question too
Thank you so much
how long u made it?
ok sooooooo where do we get that template?
i used to hate painting with urethanes etc, too toxic even with a mask.
i'd get horrid head rush weird dizziness headaches and just plain dementia or something . that shit is bad for ya, or at least bad for me. Especially can't go near 1-shot anymore.
All water based acrylics now
***** Yeah, good for you Rob. I was feeling that on this job. Definitely not healthy chemicals to be around. I also prefer my acrylic mural jobs.
what paints are you using Joe
philip overholt In this one, It's Sherwin Williams automotive paints for the colors and then the clear coat was sprayed on by Andy's Auto Body but I think it's a just a high quality polyurethane that's typical for automotive use. I tried thinning these with xylene. That was a mistake. It separated the paint. I had to use the specific solvent that SW made for those paints.
Damn, Andy Dick is a great artist.
thanks Joe :-)
Am i the only one seeing a Granny with glasses yelling at 3:44
Fantastic ! :-)
Молодец, все классно получилось...
Nice work but WAY too much flame, too busy to the eye!
Every hear the phrase- ‘sometimes less is more’.
lol beautiful
Hate to burst your bubble but not only does those not look like real fire that process is wrong and why it looks so fake. Using way too much stencil
Sorry the flames suck
im so sorry but as a mural painter, you are awesome....but as a auto graphics painter which i am...those are the worst real or any other kind of flames so called i have ever seen....please dont do that on someones car again...watch some videos on the subject.

www.killerpaint.com that is what real fire is supposed to look like.
wgbsigns123 I haven't noticed Mike Lavallee doing any tutorials on his flame jobs. Maybe you can use your pull in the industry to force him to give up his secrets?
Johnson Arms Props probably because he sells a dvd
Johnson Arms Props he uses a arc shield and freehand, red base coat then red candy coat, then orange base coat then with red candy coat, then orange base with orange candy coat, then yellow base coat with orange candy coat then yellow with yellow candy coat then white highlights with yellow candy coat then white hot spots...building layers and depth with this process.... then he blends in some purple in the depths of the flames...hope that helps alittle
niyamathkhan
