I'm new in this world of painting but I hope some day my day will come. I just love watching you paint and how you give pointers to us. You are so awesome and I wish only the best for you and your family.

I just finished watching your video, the Seascape and the lighthouse I love it!! I only started painting when I turned 60 today is my birthday, I'm 66. I have always loved art, never knew I could paint or draw LOL till like I said I turned 60. I like to give my paintings to people as gifts.. I have a couple here on KZbin that I really enjoy and really helped me and I just recently found you so you are added to my go-to list😊 thank you for taking your time and doing this for those of us that are trying to learn this beautiful art!! I'll be watching for all your new videos to take care and God bless!!❤ oh by the way my grandfather was an artist I have a huge painting that he did back in the day Jesus in The Garden. I didn't know him at all really coming from a broken family and I just happened upon that painting by happenstance but what a blessing!! It's the one and only I've ever seen but he had several out there somewhere anyway.. just thought I'd mention that!!

Hi 👋 Joni,thank you so much for saying just paint how you want.And it doesn’t have be just like yours.That’s why I struggled so badly. I almost gave up on trying to paint.But I have spent so much money. Thank you for being so kind and honest with your viewers.

[@joniyoungart]

I love ❤️ how you show so details, and how you explain you articulate so well. A person can’t help but learn how to paint something.

Thank you Doretha! Have fun painting along 🎨💐

I love this painting!! The colors, the sky, the cliff, and the tree on the left! I painted that lighthouse from a photo taken in winter time with snow and ice on rocks in the water. The lighthouse on the cliff was farther away. My pastor said he used to go there often when he lived in Minnesota. Coincidentally, my father's name was Bill Watson.

[@joniyoungart]

How crazy they have the same name! I bet it would be beautiful in winter as well ❤️

I know how patient you have to be to paint. Sometimes, patience is hard.

[@l.j.2043]

I like all these videos where you are painting from a photo someone sent in. A bit of a different style and colors for you, but looking great! I like this one and the behind the waterfalls one a lot. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@donsinclair9594]

Beautiful….could you discuss more on the use of the mop brush. I’m having difficulty,maybe not using enough paint.

[@joniyoungart]

You bet, which part in particular? The blending with dry brush or the application for bushes and trees 😊

[@donsinclair9594]

@@joniyoungart bushes and trees….I seem to get blobs so the shape is lost and it looks like just a big blob…..

[@joniyoungart]

Make sure your brush is dry ( no water) lightly tap into the paint and then tap lightly here and there for your foliage. Careful not to overload or over tap, that’s when you create “blobs”

[@debpaolucciojanomethreadar2357]

Hi Joni, I'm a fairly new fan. I'm 70 & I'm trying to use my very arthritic hands & make something beautiful! Besides my hands not always cooperating I live in the desert & everything dries so very fast! Any advice for keeping paint from drying so fast & any tools that would help me grip brushes better? TIA

[@joniyoungart]

Hi Deb, welcome to my channel! I would really recommend you try adding a slow drying medium to your acrylics if f you’re in a high heat area most the time. I think this would benefit you a lot 😊

[@debpaolucciojanomethreadar2357]

@@joniyoungart what is a slow drying medium? What should I shop for? I'm brand new to painting.

[@susangreen3002]

I just left michaels and they had those huge filbert brushes like you use I was tempted to get it but I'm still trying to attempt one of your paintings. God bless

[@joniyoungart]

You should! They’re hard to come by and sell out fast 😘 thanks Susan xo

[@erinkenney7764]

If I become a Patreon subscriber, can that be reached through KZbin or do I have to download the program to my laptop? I love how simple you make this look. I'm a lapsed painter/artist, so it great to get new input so I can start painting again.

[@joniyoungart]

Hi Erin, you can login to Patreon from any device at your own convenience 😊 thank you very much. Have a great weekend, Joni
