I love using the white, slightly watered down or with a wet brush, over dark watercolor areas to tone it down, or push areas back a bit. It also makes it look a bit ethereal.
Cheap Joe’s: Are you in contact with Frank Francese? If not, please get in touch with him. I took a workshop with him 2 years ago and he was very fond of Joe. Thank you.
Love this video! I was just in Boone 3 weeks ago for Kristy Kutch’s colored pencil workshop and met Meghann and her dad, Joseph. So much fun to see them in this great video. Both wonderful people who took such good care of us. Cheap Joe’s is my favorite place to take a workshop. I’m just sorry I didn’t get to meet Joe, their dad/granddad. What a touching tribute to a one of a kind man. (Hi Meghann! This is Patti from Michigan. We sat across from each other at dinner that week. Thanks for everything!)
I'm new to wc and don't know a whole lot about the medium....yet. What I'd like to know is why would anyone buy a paint that can never ever be reactivated again? If you accidentally squeeze a little too much then you're done. And that would be me :(. I'm not criticizing, this is a legit question. I would just like to understand about this particular paint. Thank you.
For this excellent matting system, I think it would wise consider to Add a Light, very Neutral Grey: Less contrast between the art work and mat might enhance the artwork Best!
This is exactly what I need! I’ll be back in the U. S. in late August and will be ordering many! You guys are the very best. Hope to travel down to your store in Boone in the fall. You are my go to!
Hi, I have not yet purchased from Cheap Joe's as of yet...but hope to.. More importantly though is your purpose and vision, and caring about the people you serve.. This video means a lot to me... All businesses should learn from you... Thank you.. You are true caring Americans!
I’d be very interested in see one of your dads paintings. I really enjoyed this video and hope you have a great future. Your dad really lived a great life.
I LOVE Cheap Joe’s. I’m a Boone resident and shop at the store regularly. I so appreciate the quality of the supplies, and the care of each staff member. They have always been super helpful and encouraging. Joe was a wonderful and kind man. I miss his smile, his quiet voice, and his unwavering encouragement that, yes, I can do it. Thank you for continuing his vision!
I love this. Thank you. My son, one Christmas, my son gave me a series 7 watercolor brush #8. It was $50.00 so you know how old it and (I) are. I still have it. It’s not in great shape but it is such a treasure. It stays with me. Loved hearing about your Dad.
I was delighted to see art supplies at this little drug store in Boone, NC while traveling through the area in the late 80s. Have been ordering ever since. Thanks!
I LOVE Cheap Joe's!! When I get your catalog, it's like I'm a kid at Christmas, sticky-noting every page! I buy a very large majority of my supplies from CJ's. You are my first choice for art supply companies. My only regret is that I never got the chance to take a workshop from your Dad. You are truly blessed to have had a Dad like you did. I cried when I heard of his passing, and lit a candle so God would hear my prayers to escort him straight into Heaven. I know you have some big shoes to fill, but both of you, stay true to who you are while you honor your Dad and Grandpa. I will never stop buying my supplies from Cheap Joe's! His spirit lives on, for sure. ❤
I can remember the first time I received one of your catalogs in the mail, way back when you had to fill out an order form and mail or call on the phone to place an order. I was fascinated, spending hours pouring over the fabulous art supplies I was unable to find in my local art store at the time. Over the years, Yarka kolinsky brushes, Cheap Joe’s Watercolor and Sketchbooks, Kilimanjaro paper and American Journey watercolors kicked my enthusiasm for painting to a whole new level. Thank you for being there all these years with affordable and unique art supplies.
I am so glad you are carrying on your father's and grandfather's mission to make art accessible for everyone using high quality supplies and lots of loving encouragement. Your dad/granddad was a magnificent human being.
Hey, Joe -- We need you and Megan to open a store in Pinehurst, NC! There are five galleries within a few miles of each other that show local artists' work, a community college that provides art classes, an Artist' League of the Sandhills, and several small shops that sell paintings and provide lessons. We only had Hobby Lobby and Michaels locally to get supplies, and both places have significantly reduced their stock. Michaels has nearly eliminated it. So, please, please think about coming here. I just know that a feasibility study would guarantee that this is a profitable market. All of us who paint here would love to see you here, in a "brick and mortar" store.
I'm so glad that you made this video. I had ordered from Cheap Joes a long while ago & I had not been doing much art for the last several years & to be honest I had forgotten about your company. I wish I had know Mr. Mileer what a gem. I am so glad to hear that your family will be carrying on & as I am painting again I will be needing some supplies & will be ordering soon.
I never met Joe in person, but corresponded with him back in the 1990’s. I ordered my watercolor supplies from Cheap Joe’s and quite often he sent me a sample of a new brush or “gadget” he offered in the store (like the “oiler boiler” squirt bottle) . I still treasure the soft covered book filled with his watercolors he gave me, “Thrice Told Tales” which he signed with a personal message to me.
Wish you would open shop here in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines area of NC. Our area is booming and we have so many local artists here and no where to buy supplies except online. I personally like to look at all the products.❤️🎨
I attended a workshop at your Boone location last year. What fun it was, and what a privilege to get a tour of Joe's office, the hallway "gallery", and the warehouse. Boone is a lovely town, the workshop was great, and you all treated us like royalty. Best luck in all you do in carrying on Joe's legacy.
I really appreciate your website and how i can mark my favorite and how i can mark items to notify me when they drop on sale . Your site is so much easier to navigate than other bigger stores . I shop faster cheaper all from San Diego California .
I live in St Paul, Minnesota, so I shop for art supplies at Wet Paint here in town. They are small, and if they don’t stock what I want, I order from Cheap Joes.
