Joshua Miels - Contemporary Portrait Artist | MAKERS WHO INSPIRE 

"if you never find that breaking point for a painting, then you'll never know how good it might be" Wow. Amazing advice. Something I struggle with. Getting to a point where I fall in love with where it's at and I don't want to screw it up by doing anything else to it.

Good looks tend to fade out but the mind never does, it only grows. The face is not a picture of itself, it's the mirror of it's mind. That's why good portrait art at all times needs to capture the soul of it's subject. Something that starts to happen in this painting of a man. I especially love the eyes in this portrait. It's often in the eyes, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their passions. Eyes in artworks have something special, they often say more then words can. Eyes are very similar to drawings in that regard, if you can say it in words there's no need to draw it... I guess art is a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see.

binge watching these videos, they are absolutely amazing!!!

Been following him for quite a while now on Instagram. Always inspired by his work and style. So awesome to hear his view and see what his work is all about 🤙🏼🎣🎨

Can feel the emotion + struggle of your subjects. Also the great love and compassion you have for those you give a face to. Inspiring to me as an Artist myself

I literally justed started painting! I'm doing my second piece. And I started binge-watching art and paint-related videos until I pass out in the middle of the night. It's so fascinating. And I'm starting to realize that I might have missed an opportunity, in college, when I decided I didn't wanna listen in art history classes. The whole thing about movements and styles is just getting closer and closer to my heart and I just feel like feeding off of it for days nonstop.

A Brilliant Mind, and Brilliant Work. Amazing. Thank you.

This is wonderful! I'm using this video for my art appreciation class and I truly love his style.

Another great video. Great visuals, editing and pacing! Mr. Miels' work looks stunning, perhaps you should link to his work in the description?

Beautiful honest work. Keep your light burning!

Yes, stumbled into the one on Joshua Miels, then watched about 6 more....still wants to watch...haha!

Hi man, this is the first video I saw and subscribed immediately, lol. Quality is amazing, excellent direction, and very inspirational. I am an illustrator myself and absolutely love these kinds of vids that showcase artists from all walks of life. Please keep em coming!

Awesome work Joshua and Namaste to the way you work 🤗❤️❤️❤️

omg I do the same thing. I destroy it, leave it and come back to it and create some of my best work that way but never waste a canvas. Your work is awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

You really got a serious work of art here, amazing! What software you using to break your image or adding swirly lines, did you photoshop it manually?

I miss your videos, they are all so well shot and insightful into the artist. Any videos coming in the future? Loved being able to meet these artists!

great video! may i ask how you recorded the sound during filming and how you post-processed it? :)

Thanks for your candid coaxing of going that one step further...i am painting a portrait at this moment and wondering do i let it stay "pretty" or go deeper into the emotion...hmmm?? it is a commission.... mother and daughter who are beautiful... maybe i need to do a non commission and go further... thanks again for the inspiration!

Wonderful video....and inspiration to push your art work. You are a great example & inspiration!

Ditto what others said about your videos being amazing. Your work is very powerful. Love it.

Watching in 2020 !your paintings are amazing

Cool paintings. Tell me how you transfer the image to the canvas? What kind of program?

Fine video, love watching someone work in their mind, on canvas. Use of palette knives is awesome.

GREAT work! Both of you. Congratulations.

beautiful man. beautiful work.

Joshua your paint is pretty cool. Although I want to comment on the statement that says that your painting should always go further and try to see what’s up by adding up layers and processes depending on your thoughts of the moment. Well about this, I think that it should be done on a number of different artworks, and each time see how far it can go in the process, our of the first stroke.

You are awesome artist. .I love how you put the paint and make such beautiful souls..love your work...make some teaching veido.

So good. So good. Thanks again for making this. And what an amazing artist this guy is.

This is brilliantly done Henry. Thank you.

Yeah....I'm inspired greatly. Nice work. Truly a creative genius here.

Dear, could you tell me what program this is for painting?

@HenryThong this is a great video. do you know what photoshop filter he is showing at 1:10 ?

What a talent - pulling off alot of styles very well.

Found you on instagram! Absolutely love your art!

Love your work mate. Do you start your paintings with a projector. Just noticed your starting lines are so perfect in a big scale painting. Is that how you start?

WOW. What a great Artist!

Is this printed on the canvas first and then painted?

Superb and original

Очень красивые работы! Талантливо! Такой портрет это очень круто!!!

Very beautifu artwork.

Amazing videos! Do you know what software Joshua Miels is using at 1:08 ? Keep up the great vids :) !

I am budding abstract artist , can you tell me which software you use to break portraits into different contours ? ps Love your work!

Great words of wisdom. very inspiring. Can anyone tell me what photoshop filter he uses?

Good job... Best

How do you break picture into objects at 1:11?

I loved your paintings. You inspired me.

@1:09 Does anyone know how a tracing of an image can be done with Adobe PS as shown here. Which layers/tools should be used etc. Is a graphic tablet required/recommended or can it simply be done with an ordinary mouse? Can anyone help me out? I'm such a noob on PS. Many Thanks!

They all paint the same stuff nowadays, i am sick of those pseudo-abstract big faces. Just my humble opinion. Good luck anyway sir.

My atelier, is at least, a better organized than this !

Meh, just paint by numbers. No deep meaning in this art

U finished paintings. Utter bore

Artists are weird

Great work
