1
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,640
Hello. I'm glad you could
join me again today.
2
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Today I thought we'd do
a black canvas
3
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,480
and this painting will be
a lot of fun.
4
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,920
I think you'll really enjoy it.
5
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,160
I've taken and put a strip
of alizarin crimson
6
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,400
right across the centre here
7
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,280
and in the top and bottom
are phthalo blue.
8
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,520
I'm going to have them graphically
run all the colours
9
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,240
that we'll use
today across the screen.
10
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,000
They'll come across in the order
that I have them on the palette,
11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
starting with the white
and going around.
12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,840
While they're doing that,
13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,560
let's get started and do
a fantastic painting together.
14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Let's start with
a two and a half inch brush today.
15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,320
Go right into some titanium white
16
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,120
and we'll just load some up, get
both sides of the brush loaded up.
17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,800
We'll just have some fun.
18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,480
OK, let's go up to the canvas.
19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Now, as I said earlier,
20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,320
there's alizarin crimson
right across here,
21
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,800
so if we hit white here,
22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,000
hopefully, hopefully,
there it is,
23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,720
we get a beautiful, beautiful
paint colour, reddish colour.
24
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,000
That's unbelievable, isn't it?
Just right there, it happens...
25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,080
..and then we want to blend
that upward.
26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,360
Now we're beginning
to get into the blue.
27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,120
See, all these little things
just happen automatically.
28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,120
Our canvases are painted with a flat
black acrylic and allowed to dry
29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,280
and then we go back and we put this
firm, strong colour on top of it.
30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,160
I'm going to clean the brush.
31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,240
We clean our brushes with
odourless paint thinner.
32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Shake off the excess...
33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,720
..and then beat it dry.
34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Now, you can do this
as many times as you want
35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,920
and get any desired brightness
that you want in these paintings,
36
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,240
but each time you start,
start with a clean brush
37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,760
and go back to the lightest area
and work outward.
38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,320
You don't want to drag the dirty
brush back into the centre.
39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,920
The blue is much, much stronger...
40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,000
..than the crimson, so very easily,
you can lose all the crimson colour.
41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Here I'm touching a little
bit of white
42
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:35,200
and I'm going to make a couple
of little spots a bit lighter
43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,680
to break up the sky, so it's not
just one flat and dead colour.
44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,360
And then we can clean
the brush again.
45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Need to keep a clean brush.
46
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,480
OK, shake it off. All right.
47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,640
Now, then, let's go back in here,
48
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,720
and just blend out
all the little brushstrokes.
49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Very gently, very gently.
50
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,120
That easy, you have a beautiful,
beautiful little sky,
51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,240
nice red glow in the horizon.
52
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Very exciting. A lot of fun.
53
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600
OK, and that easy, that's how you
get a beautiful little background.
54
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040
This will work with any transparent
colour, so play with it.
55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,520
We're just trying to give you ideas
56
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,200
and then we turn you loose
on the world,
57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,400
so play with this
and you can do unbelievable things.
58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,440
Let's begin working
on some background.
59
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Maybe, maybe, there's some little
foothills back here.
60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,400
I'll just use the same brush, and go
right into a bit of cad yellow.
61
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,440
There's some Indian yellow,
a little yellow ochre,
62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,760
just work back and forth,
63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320
pick up a little sap green,
put it in there too.
64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,000
So, you just tap,
there you go, just a little.
65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Quite a bit of paint
in the bristles,
66
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,520
and work this colour back and forth,
67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400
so you have layers
of different colour happening.
68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Let's go up to the canvas here.
69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Maybe there's a little foothill
that lives right there.
70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,760
I'm just using the corner
of the brush.
71
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400
We'll just touch and let it
wander right on down,
72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,560
wherever you want to go.
73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Wherever, wherever. See there?
74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,000
OK, a little more colour.
75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400
You can just put as many of these
little foothills as you want,
76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,560
just drop them in.
77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Little distant things happening.
78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Maybe, maybe, maybe...
There it is, there it is.
79
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,280
Wherever you want it.
80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,280
There we go.
81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Isn't that simple? We've got a
beautiful little foothill back here.
82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
If you want to create
a little misty area here
83
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,880
you could take a clean, dry brush...
84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,720
I've got several brushes right here.
85
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,600
..and just tap this, just tap it.
86
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,480
Very lightly.
87
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,160
That darker colour that's
underneath will come through.
88
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,840
That's all you've got to do.
89
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,600
Just tap it like that and it
will create a misty look down there.
90
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Let's go back in here
and get a little more of the colour.
91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,680
This is cad yellow, Indian yellow,
92
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,760
and a little bit of yellow ochre.
93
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,880
OK, go back up here now.
94
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Maybe, maybe, maybe,
95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,520
in your world, there's a little
foothill that lives right there.
96
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,280
And maybe this one maybe just comes
right across, there it goes.
97
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,760
There it goes.
Wherever you want it to go.
98
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Wherever, wherever.
99
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Sort of do this in a layer,
100
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,200
doing the part
that's furthest away first.
101
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,640
You don't want to kill
all your dark areas in here.
102
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880
If you kill all the dark areas,
then you're going to lose your depth
103
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,480
and it will get very flat on you.
104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,920
So if you notice it
becoming very flat,
105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040
check to make sure you haven't
killed all these dark areas,
106
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,880
that's usually what happens.
107
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,040
If your paint...
108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,520
If you have trouble
making your paint stick,
109
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,160
add at least a little amount of
paint thinner to your brush,
110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,280
and then go into your paint.
111
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,800
It will make it stick.
112
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,840
There we go, bring it right on down.
113
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,720
And if you get one that's too
bright, if you don't like it,
114
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,760
if it's too bright, you can
continually tap it for a little bit
115
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
and it will pick up the dark
colour that's underneath
116
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360
and automatically it will get
darker, darker,
117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,400
until it will finally
just go away and leave you.
118
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Just go ahead and leave you...
119
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,880
That gives us a general little hill
back here to play with.
120
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Let's go...
121
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520
I want some dark colours,
let's make some black.
122
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440
I'll use some phthalo green
and alizarin crimson
123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,800
in about equal parts.
124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,000
I want this well mixed, so you pick
the paint up off the palette,
125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,240
turn it over.
126
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,080
All right. Let me clean my knife off
here and we'll be ready.
127
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,400
It helps to have some paper towels
or something around
128
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
to clean your knife on.
129
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,920
We get a fan brush
130
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
and we go right into this dark
colour, load a lot of colour on,
131
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,440
a lot of colour.
132
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,920
Pull it through, wiggle, wiggle,
wiggle, and then sharpen it.
133
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Look at all the colour
that's in that brush.
134
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,160
That's what you want, a lot
of colour. OK, let's go up here.
135
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,680
Maybe, maybe, maybe, there's
some little, there it is,
136
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,480
I knew it was there, a little
evergreen lives right there.
137
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,400
Use just the corner of the brush,
138
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,400
just the corner,
139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,840
and work it back and forth.
140
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760
These little evergreens live right
here in your fan brush,
141
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,960
and you can make them with a one
inch brush, two and half inch brush.
142
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,400
Today I thought we'd do them
with a fan brush...
143
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880
..but whatever you've got handy.
144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,960
Whatever.
145
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Maybe, there it is,
there's a little one here.
146
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,840
A little one right here.
147
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Just a little tree,
he lives right there.
148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,520
I tell you what,
I want another one here.
149
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Maybe, I know there's
one on the other side.
150
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Let's go on the other side
over here.
151
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,360
One lives right there.
152
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,360
He's up on the hill
so he looks a little bit taller,
153
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,560
a little higher.
154
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,680
See how easy those little
trees are to make? And they're fun.
155
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,800
Sometimes you get carried away
156
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,080
and cover up the whole canvas
with just little trees.
157
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,680
It's exciting to see them just drop
right out of your brush there.
158
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:54,760
Maybe there's some little things
that grow right down there.
159
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,840
You need dark against light. Dark
against light, light against dark,
160
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,120
continually play with it - light
against dark, dark against light.
161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,240
That's what makes it work.
162
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Maybe like that.
163
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,360
Wherever you want it to go.
164
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Just little things
happening in here.
165
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,440
Now we'll take our big brush again
166
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,160
and we can clean this bottom
up a little bit.
167
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,400
See there?
168
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,480
You can just blend
that dark right in.
169
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,520
Everything is separate.
170
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
It separates
because it's dark against light
171
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,040
and it creates the illusion
of shadow right there.
172
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,080
Painting is nothing
but games of illusions.
173
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,160
All right, maybe there's a happy
little pond right here. Maybe.
174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Let's just take some of the same
colour and go right here,
175
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,520
decide maybe there's some water
lives right there.
176
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480
Now, there's blue underneath
and I've got yellow on the brush,
177
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,280
so it's going to turn
a nice green colour.
178
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Just pull it straight down,
179
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,160
straight down,
180
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,400
and very lightly go across.
181
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,760
That quick, instant water.
182
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,200
Now, we take the old fan brush here
183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000
and go right into a little
bit of Van Dyke brown
184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,680
and some burnt umber,
just mix it on the brush.
185
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,560
Little Van Dyke,
a little burnt umber,
186
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,920
and let's begin putting in
some land areas in here.
187
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
If we've got water, we need some
land, and here it comes,
188
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,320
lives right there.
189
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880
You need to do these
type of paintings in stages.
190
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Do the thing that's furthest away
first and work forward.
191
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,960
So you can put reflections
and highlights and shadows
192
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,640
and everything, at each stage.
193
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Now I'm going
to take another fan brush.
194
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,200
I've got several fan brushes
going here.
195
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,080
I'm going to use yellow ochre
196
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,760
and a little bit of white.
197
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,280
White and a little yellow ochre,
198
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,960
there we go.
199
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Turn that brush and load both sides.
200
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,240
Now, very lightly,
just grazing the top.
201
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:20,160
Laying a little bit of highlight.
202
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,040
You don't want to kill that nice
dark colour
203
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,360
which you worked so hard
to put in there -
204
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,000
don't want to kill all that.
205
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,320
If you're going to kill it,
no use putting it in there.
206
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,280
Just add a little here and there,
wherever...
207
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,880
And let it just sort of fade
back up into the little grass areas.
208
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Oh, that's pretty.
209
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,840
I love these black canvases.
210
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Some of the most fantastic things
imaginable happen on them.
211
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,680
They're just so much fun.
212
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,480
There, we're just bringing
it all together.
213
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Now, now we can come forward...
214
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,200
So, you do this in stages, maybe
now another one comes right there.
215
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,760
Right there, wherever you want them.
216
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,560
I'm going through the Indian
yellow and the cad yellow,
217
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,120
a little yellow ochre, sap green.
218
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,960
Now there's blue on the canvas
219
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,840
so if you keep tapping,
220
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,440
any of these yellows will turn
into a beautiful green for you.
221
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,440
So you can get all the green
that you want.
222
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,440
You may get too much green
if you're not careful.
223
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,560
Don't tap it too much.
224
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Now, let's put some reflections
right under that.
225
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,400
Pull straight down, same colour.
226
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,120
Just straight down.
227
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,440
Look at that.
228
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,760
Look at that.
229
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,440
That phthalo blue under there
230
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,120
absolutely makes some beautiful
reflections.
231
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,720
You're letting the canvas work.
232
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,840
You can do all this
on a white canvas no problem,
233
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,240
but you would have to work
a lot harder.
234
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720
Now we just go across.
235
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,240
These strokes across
need to be straight across.
236
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,720
Need to go straight across here.
Your water will look
237
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,680
like it's going to run right out
of the painting
238
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,800
and we don't want that.
239
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,200
OK, a little more Van Dyke brown
and burnt umber.
240
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,280
We'll put some land here.
241
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120
This is quite repetitious here.
242
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,080
I'll just quickly get through that.
243
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Little yellow ochre and white,
we can highlight these a little.
244
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,640
Just like so, just barely touching.
245
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Barely touching, just scrub
a little bit of that in...
246
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,520
..here and there.
247
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,480
OK, let's take the knife
248
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
and I'll go right into a little
bit of burnt umber.
249
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,600
I'll go right up here and just
lay in some little indications
250
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640
of water lines here and there,
just using a little burnt umber.
251
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,120
That also cleans the edges up.
252
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Makes it very pretty.
253
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,040
Just wherever you want it.
There's one.
254
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400
Just where the land and water meet.
255
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
I tell you what, let's go
on the other side of this canvas...
256
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,960
..and see what we can make
over there. Maybe ...
257
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
That looks like a good
place right there.
258
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Maybe there's a little peninsula
that comes out right through there.
259
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,880
See how easy these are, though?
260
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,120
Just let it go, let your
imagination take you everywhere.
261
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,600
There we go.
262
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,720
That may be the greatest gift
an artist has, an imagination.
263
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,720
It's like everything else,
264
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,080
you practise with it,
makes it strong, it works better.
265
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Use your imagination,
visualise scenes in your mind,
266
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720
make them up in your mind
before you paint them.
267
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,440
Go across.
268
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Sometimes before I ever do
a scene on canvas,
269
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,880
I may have painted it
100 times in my mind,
270
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,600
every stroke of it - I know every
stroke before it touches the canvas.
271
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,680
It's like, well, athletes do it,
they psych themselves up,
272
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,040
they see themselves going over
the big jump or the hurdle,
273
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880
you do the same thing with painting.
274
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,560
You see these in your mind,
you practise them in your mind,
275
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,360
and then you go
and put them on canvas.
276
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,440
That's what's fun.
277
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680
A little highlight,
still using the same colours.
278
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,400
OK, now we go back with a little
burnt umber and drop in...
279
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,640
..just a happy little waterline.
280
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,600
I can't say it enough, though -
you do these in stages,
281
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,800
working the thing that's
furthest away first
282
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,360
and then coming forward.
283
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,160
If you try to do it all at one time,
it looks like it would be easier
284
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,240
but sometimes it will get you
in trouble.
285
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,600
Do a stage at a time, a stage
at a time, you'll be happier.
286
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480
Maybe, maybe, there it is.
287
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,720
Just keep building these
wherever you want them,
288
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,040
this is just a happy little pond
sitting out here, taking life easy.
289
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Let it go, just right on out.
290
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,160
All kinds of beautiful
little things happening.
291
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Picking up that blue
that's underneath.
292
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,840
A few reflections.
293
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,840
See, each one of these peninsulas
needs reflections
294
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,400
or it won't sit down
into the water right.
295
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,680
Don't leave reflections out.
Go across.
296
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,680
OK, back to our brown
and burnt umber,
297
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,520
put in a little bit of land area
real quick like that.
298
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Add a little highlight on it.
299
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,200
You're in business again.
300
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,200
You have to make another decision,
where does this go? I see it.
301
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,400
You see anything you don't want,
just cut it off.
302
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,040
Bring it right on down
through there.
303
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,880
You've created all these little
things very easily,
304
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,920
very easily, and you don't
worry about it.
305
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,200
You just sort of evaluate it as you
go along and let things happen.
306
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,800
Don't worry about it.
307
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,200
Don't worry...
308
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,200
I'm just going to fill this all up.
309
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,200
Don't kill all of the dark areas.
Leave some of these dark areas here.
310
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,840
Don't want to lose that distance
and depth in this.
311
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,840
Darker, darker, if you want it
darker, just keep tapping.
312
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,880
Get darker and darker
313
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,480
because it will pick up that blue
that's underneath.
314
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,080
All right, let's build a few
little trees in here.
315
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,160
I'm going to take a little
bit of thin oil
316
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,720
and go right into my brown,
317
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,120
right into the Van Dyke brown.
318
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,920
Let's go right up here,
and maybe there's a...
319
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Maybe, maybe, yes, you're right,
320
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,960
there's a happy little tree,
he lives right there.
321
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Now, you can thin this paint with
a thin oil, such as linseed oil,
322
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,520
basically any kind of oil.
323
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,640
Just to thin the paint.
324
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,520
I like oil because it makes
the paint slide on the canvas,
325
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,600
or you can use paint thinner
to thin the paint.
326
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,040
As I say, the oil makes the brush
slide on the canvas,
327
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,640
it's a little more fun to use.
328
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,640
There we go, a little tree there.
329
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,640
Maybe there's a larger tree
330
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040
and he lives, he lives right there.
331
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,600
This will help build a little
distance into the painting, too,
332
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,480
putting a few of these in there.
333
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:29,320
If the paint didn't stick,
add a little more oil,
334
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,000
a little more paint thinner,
335
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,200
make it a little thinner
and then it will stick.
336
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,840
A little bit of the thin oil...
337
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,280
..then it will stick.
338
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,040
I'll make his trunk get
a little stronger right there.
339
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,160
There we go.
340
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,040
Maybe, maybe, maybe, he's got an arm
that comes right out here.
341
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,720
You know trees,
trees go however makes them happy.
342
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,040
That's the way you ought to paint
them, however makes you happy.
343
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840
There's hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of little limbs,
344
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,360
and you can take your liner brush
and very lightly put them in.
345
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,680
Just barely touching,
346
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,360
that's how they're done, and you can
put in just oodles of these.
347
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:21,360
People will think you've
worked for months on this painting!
348
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,560
That's when you up the price.
349
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,120
So many painters for years
have painted very rapidly like this
350
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:35,320
but it was done in secret.
351
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,640
They didn't tell you
352
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,760
cos you wouldn't pay $5,000
for a painting
353
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,600
that was done in half an hour.
354
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,920
We're going to show you how
and you can make your own creations.
355
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:51,840
Maybe a little arm up there.
356
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,400
Just let that go right on back.
357
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,880
We can tap right there and it
cleans up the bottom.
358
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480
Now, then, maybe...
359
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,120
We had some evergreen
back here in the background,
360
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:08,560
so maybe, maybe...
361
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Maybe there's a huge evergreen
that lives over here,
362
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,520
so let's go right into some brown.
363
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,040
This Van Dyke brown,
load a lot of paint onto the brush,
364
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,600
just really fill it up.
365
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,120
My gosh, that brush
is full of paint.
366
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,200
Look at that! A lot of paint!
367
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,960
Let's go up to the canvas here.
368
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Maybe there's a big tree
369
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,120
and he lives right here.
370
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:33,960
Now, all I'm doing is just touching,
371
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,080
sort of patting the canvas...
372
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200
..and come right on down to
wherever you want him to go.
373
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,360
Now...
374
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,560
..out here on the side
I want it to be sort of rough.
375
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800
You get all these little hang-y
downs on the side of the trees,
376
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,360
so, look at evergreens,
377
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,520
they've got all kind
of little things happening.
378
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,360
This is just Van Dyke brown
379
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,760
and I'm just patting it right onto
the canvas - just pat, pat, pat.
380
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,600
I've got a good friend named Pat.
Pat-Pat.
381
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,280
So now we take a little bit of
white, this is just titanium white,
382
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,520
small amount of burnt umber in it.
383
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,680
There.
384
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,120
A lot of paint once again.
385
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,880
Let's go back up to the canvas.
386
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,120
Now, I want to put this light
colour over here.
387
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,080
Come right down the side.
388
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:29,640
Just tap, tap, tap.
389
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,640
Then we can begin where it
comes together,
390
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,080
just begin tapping lightly
and blend it all together.
391
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,160
That easy, you've got a nice,
light side to your tree.
392
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,560
You can spend a lot of time
working yourself to death on this,
393
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960
so you can just do it very easily.
394
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,800
Put in some of these little
hang-y downs.
395
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,560
If you get a little more light
than you want, you can take the dark
396
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,440
and go back over
and blend it all together.
397
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720
It's very easy to correct,
no problem.
398
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,960
You can make some almighty
beautiful trees like this.
399
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,560
It's a fun way to make trees.
400
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,680
OK, maybe go back into
some brown here,
401
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,200
maybe there's an old elm
or two that hangs right down.
402
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,080
I'm going straight into the canvas,
just touching.
403
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,960
Just touching.
404
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,880
Come right down, there it is,
405
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,320
give it some little arms
406
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,400
and all these little things here.
407
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,160
As many as you want.
408
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,760
As many as you want.
409
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,720
There he is - I knew there
was one there. You did, too.
410
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,720
It comes right on out.
411
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,680
Just let it go.
412
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,480
There's another one.
413
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,880
Wherever you want them.
414
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:56,560
OK, maybe there's one here.
415
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920
I like to make them
sort of wrap around the tree.
416
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,840
That always breaks it up and makes
it look a little more interesting
417
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,760
than just hanging off both sides...
418
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,320
..because that's the way they grow.
419
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,800
That's the way they grow.
420
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,840
All these little things
happening out here.
421
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,200
Now we can take...
422
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000
..a little bit of light colour
and very lightly...
423
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,000
..highlight some of these.
424
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,200
It really pays you to have
several fan brushes going,
425
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,600
or whatever brush going,
426
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,520
that way you don't have to spend so
much time cleaning your brush.
427
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Plus, a lot of paint is saved,
428
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,120
otherwise all your paint,
not all your paint,
429
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:44,000
but a lot of your paint ends up
at the bottom of your cleaner can.
430
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,120
If you have several brushes
you can work back and forth,
431
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,080
have a brush for light
and a brush for dark.
432
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,760
You can save a lot of paint.
OK, let's go down here,
433
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,680
and clean the foot of this tree
up a little bit.
434
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,120
I'll add a bit of grass down here.
435
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Just very lightly.
436
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,360
Pick up a little of that dark
colour on my brush
437
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,200
and put a little bit
of shadow behind here.
438
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520
While we're doing shadows,
let's go back right up here.
439
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,680
I want to add a little
dark bit behind this tree
440
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,560
to make it look like
a little shadow.
441
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,880
The other side of the brush
has lighter colour on it,
442
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,120
on the other corner, so I'll just go
back. See, isn't that fun?
443
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,560
It gives it the impression
of a little bit of shadow.
444
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,840
We can take the liner brush...
445
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,320
..and you can come back in here
446
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,720
and lay all kinds of beautiful
little highlights.
447
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,560
All kinds, just blend them in.
448
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,640
You need a little light here
to make that stand out.
449
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,400
It gives you some ideas
to work with.
450
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,840
This is a fantastic little painting,
451
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,440
it's very easy to do,
and I think you'll enjoy it.
452
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,120
It should give you a lot of ideas.
453
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,000
So let's take some thin oil,
454
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,560
a little permanent red,
455
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,080
and we'll go right up here
and sign this one, call it finished.
456
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Once again, I really hope this
painting has given you some ideas,
457
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,720
set your imagination on fire...
458
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,200
..and between now and next week
459
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,280
you'll do all kinds
of beautiful things.
460
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Until then, we'd like to wish
you happy painting. God bless.
