Appreciate picking up your video on you tube, Julie. Always such professional information, clearly delivered.

Great info Julie. You're always so knowledgeable and inspiring! PS: Like your hair that way, Julie. Thanks for all you do🥰.

Ok…. So now I want all of these! Thanks Julie😀

Thank you. ❤ your videos are SO helpful & inspiring!

Are you going to have a holiday flyer for this year? I would like to have one please.

Always good to see a new post from you, Julie. I’m studying my catalogue at present for a small top up shop for fall, and gosh now I’ve GOT to try those three Am. Journey colours! Take care. Susan

I would think that painting on aluminum would mean that you were getting that metallic background to shine through as part of the art otherwise if you’re just covering it with primer, it’s just like a piece of wood or anything else I understand you talked about canvases bouncing, but that’s not really a huge issue. I don’t think I’ve never had a problem with it so what about actually painting on the aluminum for the metallic effect? What does that look like? Or would you have to spray a clear coat to get the paint to adhere?🤔

I wish Julie would do a demo on how to swatch so you get the colors like on the pad in the video (from the intense to the light wash). I keep trying but cannot get the range to show (I get either all intense or all real light.) Frustrating.

What an excellent video! Thank you for the super helpful review! We hope more people discover the benefits of using Hake brushes 😊

THANK YOU

Looks like a cool product to try. Thanks for the demo. 😅

Oil paints too?

Great, thank you!

Thanks for letting us see Julie finishing the painting. It was great to see her process.

Thank you and all the best

Very interesting painting on aluminum. I had no idea this was a thing!

I love these little peeks into art techniques. You describe them so well even a total newbie ,Ike me can follow you.

Great video! I need to try that! I work too tight.

I Have been going to these workshops over the last 15 years, as a vacation to myself, and it is the best place to rejuvenate your art

✨JULIE ✨

Thank you Julie.

I was just there last week. Everything they say in the video is true! The people are amazing, the space is incredible, and you couldn't have a better time than coming here to create ❤

The art world misses you, Joe Miller!

I attended Joe's watercolor workshop in 2005 and fell in love with Joe, Cheap Joe's Art Stuff, and Boone. You have enriched both my life and my art. I have bought my supplies from you since that workshop and tell my friends to do the same. Thank you for you dedication and determination.

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.

I saw it in the catalog but never knew for sure what it was for.. now I get it! Thanks Julie!! 🎨🖌

I have some of this but I didn't know it came in colors. Interesting!

I can see using the clear over a background of alcohol ink painting on Yupo, and then going in with my water media.

Thanks so much did not understand how the ground worked.

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 love this watercolor ground. It's especially nice on smooth stones where you can paint small nature scenes ❤

No idea it came in colors!! Thks Julie

Can we purchase Dvd of this workshop?

Can you suggest a binder that would mix with pigments to act as a heat set oil paint?

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.

Great Video - carrying on the family tradition !!!

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!

Great job Joseph and Meghann, it's a pleasure and I'm proud to be a small part of CJAS!!! Friend Don

Very helpful. Loved watching the blending overlays.

I love your store in Asheville! I can’t get up there very often, but when I do, I’ll always find exactly what I need…and then some. 😊

Great process, thank you for the videos~xxoo

I’m an artist, I appreciate all of your endeavors! Keep chasing it - that dream!

Every time we are near one of your stores, we love to stop in. Thank you for such a fun place to be!

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 these videos. I always learn something.

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!

Happy to see u back again!
