Joshua Miels - Contemporary Portrait Artist | MAKERS WHO INSPIRE

[@Bavubuka]

"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.

[@mKruter]

THIS! After years of designing on a computer i miss the security of "undo." More often than not I fail to push thing further out of fear that I will ruin it.

[@driesketels]

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.

[@genevievehelena58]

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

[@HenryThong]

Thanks so much! There's some really exciting new episodes coming soon for Season 2. Make sure to subscribe to see them when they go up! Not long now...

[@MargaretMRecordings]

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

[@Toefungus1101]

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

[@Nathouuuutheone]

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.

[@JohnJSteinbeck]

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

[@ninakledal9056]

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

[@TravisLutherArt]

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 🤙🏼🎣🎨

[@mandyadendorffstudio]

Beautiful honest work. Keep your light burning!

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

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.

[@TyParmenter]

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

[@HenryThong]

Thanks heaps man! Really appreciate the positive feedback. And actually that's a really good idea. I'll start doing that from now on - linking their work in the description. Thanks for the tip!

[@codyjames707]

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!

[@sheycham3792]

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

[@nomad3281]

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

[@moadeeb2002]

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!

[@johnadams507]

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

[@dollimelaine]

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!

[@Barrrt]

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

[@noapology88]

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

[@pohlinchew7974]

[@AaronIA90]

@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!

[@simplybella1564]

AaronIA90 any luck finding what it is or an alternative to it? 🙂

[@nickscarfino8695]

Looks like he used used the posterize image option in Photoshop and then outlined the blocked gradation of the values either by hand or with the magic wand tool. Just my assumption. Hope it helps👍.

[@farting505]

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

[@theartisthands]

Very beautifu artwork.

[@reemt8022]

Anyone knows how to break subjects into shape like the one he did in photoshop @1:10

[@sam96ai]

[@tahliilissa]

I loved your paintings. You inspired me.

[@caniggiavale]

Good job... Best

[@a1exander696]

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

[@jackhughes7637]

Oil on canvas via palette knives...

[@rackeemgordon6272]

Love your artist philosophy!!

[@DerdickeOnkel]

WOW. What a great Artist!

[@henrilamy1567]

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.

[@contemporaryartissue]

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

[@simplybella1564]

Art studio Delagrange any luck finding what it was or an alternative? 🙂

[@hughman5844]

[@pattywickson9046]

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?

[@theewhaler]

Yes I would imagine he uses a projector. He’s essentially doing paint by numbers on a large scale

[@michaelwhite9010]

How long does it take to paint one
