Those are the most beautiful I've ever seen painted on a ceiling. Thank you so much for sharing some of your wonderful methods and techniques!❤

[@VickyLatorreArt]

Best painted clouds I have found in youtube. Thanks for sharing.

[@rosemaryclark610]

Yep. I did that to several of my cheap brushes too. I got ones that weren't thick, and cut into the bristles holding my scissors in such a way that it cut straight into the bristles, with short, quick cuts. I've seen hair salon places do it to their customer's hair! They are great for painting grasses and animal hair, etc! Thanks for the download!!

[@vladdracul7810]

A few years ago while traveling for work was in a hotel room with clouds painted on the ceiling. Loved the effect. So calming. Always wanted to do that at my house but didn't have the knowhow. Thanks to you videos I'm gonna give it a shot.

[@jolandabeach8784]

Perfect, I'm always seeing the clouds and it fascinates me to no end at the multitude of combinations the sky presents, it's an ever changing canvas of art. Thank you

These look photo real! Outstanding!! Thank you for sharing your techniques.

[@christophergetchell6490]

Going to do this in my new studio under construction in the main space with the sloped ceiling. I'm thinking of doing a starry night theme in the small hallway with the the barrel vault. The hard part is going to be getting the lighting just right, after the painting of course!

[@Xylomethazolinhydroc]

[@paintingwithbrandon-BBart]

Now if you can make your floor look like you are standing in a shallow mountain river, we would have my ultimate room to spend time in. Good stuff Joe.

[@atar212]

Merry Christmas Joe!!!

[@slaphead8835]

Holy cow, this looks amazing. I was hoping this would be easier to do. But apparently it helps if you truly have artistic ability. I sure hope I can pull this off. Thanks for the helpful instruction Joe.

[@shaunacassell7021]

Thanks this was quite interesting....love your techniques

[@andreascrust8606]

Merry Christmas!

[@shellyg397]

Beautiful! Thanks Joe, and Merry Christmas! ☁️🎄

[@gemjove7166]

Oh my what a beautiful transformation....I love It! It inspired me to do the same. I have a question. How long did it took you texturing your ceiling?

[@jj-nu2ke]

Awesome work!

[@barbarascholl7710]

Beautiful

[@emilymillion1705]

Maybe I missed it in the comments, but what specific colors did you use for this and what sheen? Absolutely stunning!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@aoxz9811]

Definitely doing this

[@dconfused9919]

I love your wig. That was fun. Thanks.

[@insaneflower1]

Beautiful ty

[@user-nd6ht1hi6n]

Amazing!!!

[@celestehernandez7852]

so what could i actually use to get that effect?

[@desireeferro1972]

outstanding!!

[@robinmills164]

Cool very helpful thanks

[@ArtistWizardry]

That's so cool

[@paytenrene5797]

how would i make my clouds pink like when you painted the ceiling in LA? should i use a pink as my shadow color?

[@kalam-e-musafir1401]

sir pls tell me wich colour use for ceiling cloud painting

[@bjelfin]

Did I miss something? What color did you use for the shadows? Is it gray, or a blend of gray and blue? I did a cloud ceiling a few years ago, but I'm not satisfied with it yet. I want a more realistic look. I've having problems with getting the shadows done correctly, and on the right place. I like the idea of wetting the area first. Do you use a faux glazing medium mixed in your paint or an extender to slow the drying time?

[@Myaccountishacked]

Thank so mush ! Great tutorial 😊

[@margarita9965]

My paint dries very quickly on the wall, how do I process the wall before work? Or what need to add something to the paint already? Thank you!

[@GarmanyRachel]

That’s an integration topper:) It’s for people who have a small area of thinning, you pull some of your real hair through the bottom to help it blend.

[@muraljoe]

Oh..Thanks. Good to know. That was a very good tool for wispy details. Perhaps I'll use it for it's intended purpose someday!

[@GarmanyRachel]

muraljoe I’m sharing the clip with my hair loss group, they’ll get a kick out of it! Reuse reduce recycle!😂

[@danijelt1]

Great work, tnx.

[@busykat6278]

previous owners of my house added a lovely white textured wallpaper to the ceiling, I want to keep them like that but i also want clouds on my ceiling, do you think that i would be able to achieve that even with the textures. By textures i mean patterns with indents.

[@farcryabad316]

What kind of paint do you use sir,acrylic water base?

[@fatihunsal2593]

great work, how can i use a paint for this work?

[@F417H]

MERCI!

[@jimcricketbug-]

I love clouds too Joe! They are what God uses to paint awesome sunrises and sunsets!! Without 'em...yawn, lol Cheers and Merry Christmas!

[@muraljoe]

Ha ha. Thanks Jim! I agree.

[@hassanmelik7502]

how crucial is to put mud on a ceiling for texture? Does it improve the outlook drastically?

[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

That's definitely a toupee! It looks like someone tried to put it through the washer and dryer, though. Hahaha! What a great effect it makes! Always love your work. So impressed by your technique!

[@Neilbrown865]

To paint sky and clouds onto a ceiling , would a matt or silk paint be suitable.

[@notjacki399]

What were the names of the paints you used?

[@hinakhabalooch]

Hi Merry Christmas.. Thanks alot

[@nasrinfatima9836]

Amazing

[@familylifetoo9541]

[@chesterplummer7360]

You're a genius!

[@joyjitdas2535]

Awesome 👍❤️👌👍

[@taylor03281]

Just a quick question? With the shadows??what is the colors you are using??

[@BWB833]

What sheen(s) are you using?

[@WTFBattalion]

Do you remember what color numbers you used. I love the colors but can never find the right colors.

[@BeccaMMetcalf]

Have you ever painted clouds that look like watercolor? I’m working on a baby room project and would love to do that.

[@raahulkhanna3962]

Excellentttttttt dear sir 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@truthbtold8040]

I am a dormant artist. It has been almost 10 years since, I last picked up a brush. I have always admired and studied Caravagio, Tinian, Leonardo, and Michelangelo. I have always wanted to do a ceiling. I have this bedroom that needed some work so here , I go. That urge to paint came back. I must ask. Do you have any artist of inspiration.

[@godalmightyismysavior197]

Where can I watch the step by step

[@bandiahmadart7410]

Nice.... Amazing....

[@ThinkerTinker74]

Real cool wig tip 😀

[@katelane8620]

Wow... that's exactly what I'm going for...but quieter. Can you come over? Lol. Had an artist paint the ceiling on my Victorian houses porch... Now I want to try it myself in my bedroom...thank you

[@lj374]

this dude is so cool

[@noeviaolindaquinterostorri3055]

Hola, gracias por tu video, estoy por pintar mi living y es justo esto lo que quiero lograr pero veo que tendré un gran trabajo, es hermoso ojalá pueda hacercarme a eso, gracias nuevamente pero el cielo razo es original nunca se pintó y tú tienes una base de blanco, nose que hacer, tengo revoque fino porque aquí no se usa enduido por la humedad

[@bucephalus1635]

[@mythuatbacgiang4504]

Thanks. Rất tuyệt

[@joethepro5421]

I'm currently doing a ceiling for my daughter and she doesn't really like it. Can I send you a picture and you can help me?

[@evgenihristov4664]

when you choose oils and when acrylics? thanks

[@muraljoe]

Hi there Evgeni. I use oils for canvas paintings when I really want to go slower on the details and get a softer more blended look. Oils also leave behind more attractive brush texture in my opinion. I rarely use oils though since I can accomplish my purposes acrylics most of the time.

[@evgenihristov4664]

muraljoe thanks! I like your videos. You are very good with acrylics. 🙂

[@vijayakumarr2711]

Super....

[@annechesley8565]

So did you texture to smooth out already pre textured ceiling. So you dont want to paint clouds on a textured ceiling?

[@muraljoe]

Yes, the ceiling was textured and painted already. Smoothing over it just allows me to make a more realistic sky without texture shadows in it. But it's not necessary.

[@rewatteefroimchuk8589]

Hi, what is the texture that wax was used? Thanks

[@AirPavel]

super :)

[@Ab3_Paayaw]

Wow
