Painting An Outer Space Galaxy Scene - PART 1 

Dude, your videos are so educational, inspiring, and respectable. I greatly appreciate and respect what you do. Beyond a great artist, you are a good person. Keep up the good work and good teaching.

I’ve been artistic my whole life, and I’m pretty good with pencil and charcoal, but I’ve never been good with paint; largely because of my lack of understanding regarding the use of color. None of my instructors have explained the use of color like you do and it seriously blows my mind. It has always seemed like a simple equation that I couldn’t grasp but now I’m realizing that I just needed it to be broke down for me. I’m excited to take a stab at painting again since graduating HS 10 years ago and feel like I’m better equipped so thank you!

You are amasing, WoW, I love the high/low lights you create on water. Thanks much for the inspirational videos!

My elementary art students were studying were using oil pastels and watercolor to depict a space background for rockets this week. I let your video play silently in the background while they finished up their projects and they were all very impressed with your work.

Wow. Not only do I love watching you paint but your explanations are wonderful..

I love your videos! I am a scenic painter and find that other painting educators seem to be too small scale for my application. Although I don't do "pictures" like you do, I really enjoy learning your techniques for various textures and effects. Thank you for being so forthcoming with all you've learned and continue to learn.

All of the videos you are in are amazing, please NEVER stop painting!!

Your some kind of an artistic genius. I love the depth of this painting, crazy awesome. Thank you Joe!

Joe you've actually inspired me to paint my first painting and I'll always be a fan of your work and your humility. Thanks

Hey joe I just found u and I absolutely love how informed you are about each step I’m s beginner and I need all the help I can get thank you so much I love your work

Wow!!! I love that color contrast with the magenta and purple with a little white over that yellow orange. Beautiful combos.. thanks man, love your tutorials 👍👍✌😎

pretty cool ! I've been looking for a specific video about painting galaxies with oil, but yours is the best I have seen so far ! it's really helpful and the way you explain things makes it easier to understand the process. good job! thanks!

Great Job Joe!!! I always wanted to paint an outer space scene. You are so good at what you do. I love the colors and will try to paint what I always had in mind. Thank you for your videos. If I had the money I would buy one of your paintings, but I am not so young anymore, 69, and love to paint. I am follow your teachings and see how I do with my outer space painting next time. Thank you Joe. You are great and kind. I am very impressed.

High gloss! Brilliant. I'll have to try using a mixture of high gloss next to flat paints. It might be a disaster but will be fun to try. Thanks for all your advice, hints, inspiration and vision.

for all you space junkies, you should watch his "mothership" video....it is as you would expect from Joe, superb!

WOW. ABOLUTELY AMAZING. I came upon your tutorials by your colours. One caught my eye and I am hooked. I am pastel painting but find painting tutorials helpful as well. How anyone can give you hands down beats me. They obviously just want to ridicule other people. Bet they couldn't do what you do. Thankyou for your wonderful tutorials...Lynda from NZ

I am loosing words to see how easy you paint such great paintings... u r great, really, thank you for theese vids.

well done to Ben for the great editing and making Joe sound human (and awesome picture again this week of course)

Really appreciate and enjoy all your videos. Hopefully will be able to support you soon in the coming future.

I love the way it looks, the final result is gonna be awesome, can't wait! ^^ Thank you so much for painting a galaxy scene!

I am going to use the theories in this galaxy series to create my eyeshadow looks. Painting one's face also deals with color placement, picking the correct tones, and layering & blending. Thank you!

love this style from you... do more of this style of painting😆... galaxy and space paintings are awesome . the abstract qualities and vivid color just make this style amazingly beautiful

You are crazy talented ... galaxies are my fav thing to paint

Thanks for sharing your talents and helping us build on your insights.

Hey Joe, why do you pick people's comments who have the hardest names to pronounce? I love seeing you struggle haha. by the way, you always pronounce my name, chris (trenner)but it is pronounced trainer (as in a sports coach), I don't mind,I'm just happy to get a mention (how sad)! my name Treanor is from Ireland....so "the top o' the morning to ya" from Ireland

Stunningly beautiful, Joe! I had no idea that rubbing alcohol can be used to remove layers of latex paint. Very useful info! Thank you.

omg you are amazing... I am addicted to watching you. So inspiring....

This is effing BEAUTIFUL

thank u my friend for sharing your time and talent with us for time is expensive , putting a price to it , as in your case is priceless , thank you ,thank you,God bless u my friend.

Awesome! As always Joe!! You know that I will always be a fan!! ~Marcus

That is absolutely gorgeous!

You are a talented artist, a class magician. I would love to learn the art of painting from your videos. Hopefully one day I will succeed in this job. Wish you good health and bring to the world the colors through your drawings.

Man I wish I could paint with you. About to start a mural for my son. Fingers crossed

Awesome dude !!! I really like your art, thanks for share all these tutorials !

I find that doing paintings with galaxy or starry events is good for experimenting with color schemes and such. I like yours, it really pops at the focal point. Also, getting closer to 100K subs, you should have been there already I think. :-)

AMAZING! Dang!! That is just BEAUTIFUL!!

Brother just found this because of the Galaxy i am brand new to painting i was a hand engraver before i had a stroke.Great work i am now a sub.

Artists are the only humans I don't hate. I LOVE this work Mural Joe ! I'm an artist also :)

thanks for getting technical with your Q and A. It's 100 why i subscribed.

Thanks Joe! It's looking great!

I wish I could meet you and watch you work! Love it 😍

Can't believe I've only found this now... Way to fail at butchering a masterpiece my friend. It would blow me away to see you put some star formation. You sir have breathed life into my passion for painting again. Such depth man... As I said, looks like you've failed.... To botch a masterpiece. I approve and subscribe to your shenanigans

It's beautiful. Quite simply magnificent.

Would love to see a solar system one! My son is obsessed. So looking for a one wall idea for his bedroom!

Awesome video, and congrats on the 100,000 subscribers. You have earned it by giving so much and you deserve it. Keep it up!!!

Phenomonal Talented work Brother! Incredible helpful info even that helps me as a professional artist!

I forgot to thank you for the red Thanks for the red! I use that 'trick' a lot now. Specially in clouds it makes the difference between flat and lively.

Great stuff! I'm trying to understand light behaviour to help in my art. Your videos are a great resource to me. Thanks so much.

this is really cool, thank you sir for the demonstration

I think I'm in love with you right now. Your talent is mesmerizing

Wow it's like I just left the dark ages. You are such a good teacher!!

that is so darn awesome! LOVE IT!

I love the way you paint! You do amazing work. I paint but my channel is, still, fairly, new and I don't have vids up but one and it's not spacey. I love painting the outer space and oceanside paintings and other stuff. Thanks for showing us your way of doing it and for the tips. ^^*

Absolutely love your work!

Good morning congratulations for this beautiful painting. now is it possible to know what colors are used to try I say try to realize this project THANKS

Thanks for inspiring me. I have learnt so much from you

You are so talented!

Hey there, I’d like to know what kind of painting you’re using. Sherwin Williams Duration Interior or Exterior ? Then the type flat, satin, matte or semi gloss? Plus the brand of the alcohol water based eraser you’re using. The type of canvas. And last, the brand of the brushes you’re using. Many thanks. Your vids are awesome keep going. Cheers

I have to observe that your chosen subject matter is quite diverse. That'll keep your mind sharp.

Acabo de encontrarte y me ha dejado impresionada como te expresas y el resultado final. Yo estoy intentando pintar el universo y me ha ayudado mucho. La pena es no entender lo que dices....debería tener la traducción. Gracias!

man....you're amazing !

Just found your channel a few days ago. I think you're a great talent. You should consider getting a better quality camera and microphone so we can enjoy you work more.

My favorite kind of image!

Thanks mate, that was a thorough answer, cheers!!

Hi Joe how's things . Just want to say your work is very inspiring and I'm so impressed at how you work. I want to ask you some questions. First is what paint do you use? Second is I have massive problems with my neck and back and my osteopath says that it's from the positions I end up in when I'm drawing or painting...it's caused my neck and head to become sore and stiff and it really effects my ability to paint and effects my concentration badly so I can never work the long hours I use to smash out work ...do you suffer the same problem or do you know how to avoid it... I'd love to hear your opinion as you work with various different sizes. And I'm sure with murals you end up in some awkward positions

where can we buy your paintings is the real question

you are epic teacher and painter man!!!

I luv watching!

On the galaxy mural is it all painted black first or are you putting the black on as you go? It's hard to tell when your going so fast!👏👏😊🎨

Hey Jo, I was just wondering how you set up your canvas to paint on, u said you used a drop cloth on a board. I enjoy putting your videos on while I paint similar images thanks for sharing you are very relaxing and educational in a non preachy teacher way.

Hello Joe I have 2 questions 1. I started my first painting on wall. I used emulsion paint and mixed some of it with white paint and some of it with wood glue (as instructed by my teacher) so I had two types of paint. today was my first day and my throat started to hurt after using it. My questions is why does my throat hurt did I do something wrong? and what should I do? 2. The painting am working on is three big pink roses with shades of blue and some feathers beneath them. what color do you suggest for the feathers? thank you so much I really hope you read this

thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.

The first ren. looks like one pissed on Buffalo...Too Me....♥ I like it... the final is badass but too busy for space...I think... As I know not near enough about space to make that assessment... anyhow, love your videos, its my first Real lesson. loved bob but you seem to explain ihow to map perception with your viewers. So thank you very much you are appreciated. after summer I intend to become a patron so please stick around...WE NEED YOU...:)

Wahnsinn, wunderschön 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

im going to be working with a black light neon mural, any recommendations on some strong opaque paint? most neon paint ive played with is WATERY and thin!

cool artwork!

Its highly inspirational and lots of learning...Thanks a lot.. Just a query...What quality of colour you use..??

its absolutely amazing work, thanks for sharing all this available information, i wish i am closed to you to be m inspiring teacher. thanks

one question : when you start to bring on the colour , do you allready have the "cloud" and its dimensions in your head or are you just moving intuitively and then working the form out like in the process? i try to work it out but it s allways leading me to an overworked mess which is nt 3 d anymore in the end...

I am very late to your tutorial. Amazing. What kind of paints/ brands do you use.

I was going to question the level of adhesion of paint on the high gloss background base, when I noticed that you're using 'house paint'...and the question become irrelevant unless it's acrylic house paint. :-)

thangyou for you (from thailand Ayuttaya)I hope i that see you at Ayuttaya .. i need learn painting

congratulations on your tutorial, you're extraordinarily good at it, I wanted to ask the paint you use is acrylic? in those packages so big where you buy online? Also the black canvases are always interested in online? you can provide me with the link? thank you

Hello I know this video is quite old but could you teach me how to paint space paintings like you maybe a zoom call I’m working on a pink space painting

I’d like to see how you stretched that big canvas.

This is awesome ....specific paints please

Your works are just amazing! Are you doing this painting wet on dry? I tried wet on wet it doesn’t work for me..

i really really can't tell u how grateful i'am thank u

I want the extended video on this but can’t find it please help?

Help! When I use acrylics, they become transparent. What paint are you using? Thx!

What paints are you using? Oil or Acrylic? I ask cause I'm trying to follow this painting, and it's NOT TURNING OUT!!! The colors are blending too much and it looks like MUD!!! Help please :) Thanks

What type of brush are you using mine is definitely not coming out like this 😭

Do u use a very wet brush? Or is it all dry painting?

nice is it acrylic or oils, I am guessing oils to paint such a blended scene.

Thank you, are these colours acrylics?

Hey Joe, are you using oil paint? I love your videos.

Hey Joe! I'm gonna ask you...what brand of mural color you usually use?

Some reason I can only accomplish impressionism but thanks this video helped!

Warning: Do Not Attempt This at Home!!🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 He's gifted.

gracias Joe !
