All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 2x16 - _track3_[eng]

I'm glad you could join me today.

Today, I think we'll really do
a fantastic little painting

that'll bring a lot of good thoughts
right to your heart here.

So, I've already covered
the canvas with a thin, even coat

of the Liquid White.
It's wet, slick and ready to go.

And we'll have them graphically run
all the colours across the screen

that you need to paint
along with me and we'll get started.

And I'm going to take
right off today.

I'm going to get right in here to
some of this Midnight Black,

a little bit of Thalo Blue,

and I'm just going to mix
these on the brush.

Just tap them right into your brush.

Right, let's go up here.

Now, I want to just sort of dance
in a little sky, a little happy

sky, using little criss-crosses,
just let it bounce around and play.

Leave some holes in the sky.

Don't kill it all.

Don't kill it all, let some little
things just shine through, like so.

Just have fun with it. Enjoy.

There we go.

Now, while I got this brush dirty,
I'm going to go right into a small

amount of Thalo Green, add it right
on to the same old dirty brush.

And load it the same way,
just tap. OK?

Now, let's put in what will
eventually be water.

Pull from the outside, in.

From the outside, in.

See? Over here,
pull from this direction.

I'm going to leave a little
area open here.

I want it to look like a sheen
of light coming across the water

when this painting's finished.

There we go.

Just right across.

OK? Now, let me wash this brush.
A little odourless paint thinner.

Scrub it off,
give it a little shake.

And just beat the devil out of it!

OK. Now, with a clean brush,
I'm going up in here

and I'm just going to blend the sky
together a little bit.

I don't want to blend it

so much that I kill all
the little actions in it.

I want to keep
some of those in there.

If you over blend it, it'll just
turn into a flat old dead blue sky.

There we go.
Just blend it right on down.

And for the part that's going to be
water, very lightly go across.

That light area will remain,
right there where you put it, see?

Already it looks like the light
shining across here

and you haven't done a thing.

This is really the lazy man's way to
paint. That's why I like it so much!

All righty.

Clean that brush one more time.
Shake it off.

LOUD RATTLING

These cameramen hate me!

Right into some Titanium White
and a little bit of the red.

There we go.
Pull that brush in one direction,

load a lot of paint
into the bristles.

Let's go up here.

Now, I want to put a happy little
cloud and I'm just going to

take this brush and just dance
it around, just let it have fun.

You have areas in the sky where
the paint's thick,

areas where it's very thin,

areas where there's
absolutely no paint.

Keep it moving, keep it moving.

Keep it moving, otherwise
if you stay in one place,

it'll look like a big cotton ball
up here in the sky.

And that's not what we're
looking for.

We're looking for happy
little clouds

that just float around and have fun.

And then we'll take a clean,
dry brush, same brush.

And very gently blend the bottom
of this out. Just... Just blend it.

Just blend it.

I'm not touching this top
area at all. Just the bottom.

Sorta mix it up! Mix it up. That's a
good way of thinking of it.

Just mix it.

Just like you're beating up a cake
batter here, just mix it up.

OK? And that just takes off
the excess paint.

Then I'm going to fluff it,
grab it, lift it, fluff it.

Drag out all those little stringy
things, let them happen.

Mm!

When all these little things happen,
don't worry about them,

cos when you blend the sky,
they'll all go away.

Look here,
it just brings it all together

into one of the simplest and nicest,
easiest ways of making a beautiful

little sky, has all kinds of happy
little clouds floating in it.

OK. Now, then, I think
today we'll...

Let's do an almighty mountain.

I'll take a little bit of this
blue and black,

add a little white to it, so it
makes sort of a blue-grey colour.

There we go, like that.
Cut off a little bit.

Right up here, I'm going to have a
little hill that's far away,

so all you do, drop in a basic
shape, take a dirty brush

and I'm going to grab it,

it doesn't matter
if the brush is dirty or clean.

And just by using brush strokes,
I'm going

to put the indication of highlights
and shadows in this.

I want this to be very soft
and very quiet and far, far away.

Look there, you can
blend over the entire thing.

Very light. Very light.

See, it looks like his little top
went right up in the clouds there.

And then maybe,
in front of that one,

maybe there's a big strong cloud...

A big strong mountain, I mean.

So let's go back,
we'll use some black,

a little touch of the blue, a little
Van Dyke Brown in there too.

Just mix it up.

Pull it out, cut across it.

Get that little roll of paint,
right out on the edge, OK?

Now,
decide where your mountain lives.

Maybe... Yeah, he lives right there.

With this dark colour,
he certainly does now!

And he comes down like that,

and all you're looking for here
is a very basic shape.

We're not looking for a lot
of detail yet.

Push. Get mean with it.
Get tough with it.

This is where you take out
all your hostilities.

Really push that paint
right into the fabric.

Canvas is tough.

They make tents out of it!

There, really push it. OK.

Now, we'll take a big brush and
we pull that down, just gently...

Just like the one
we did in the background.

This removes excess paint,

makes the next layer of paint
stick much easier.

The less paint you have on this
part, the easier you'll find it.

And maybe out here,
we'll just tap it a little bit,

just let it disappear.

Look at that. Just sort of floats
there in the sky right now.

And that gives you your basic shape.

If you don't like your shape,
if you're not happy with it when you

get to that point, you can change it
because this is your world.

Clean the old brush
and we're in business.

All right. Now, let's put some happy
little things up here.

I'm going to go into a little
bit of the Dark Sienna,

a little Van Dyke Brown, a little
white, just mix it all together.

Put a little bit of the Bright Red
in there too, what the heck!

We'll just have fun today.

We'll make a happy mountain,
a little more of the white.

There. Cut across it, small
roll of paint. OK, let's go up here.

Decide which peak is the farthest
away. In my mind, it's this one.

The tiniest, tiniest bit of paint.
Just a tiny little bit.

Just like so.

See there?

Tiniest little bit of paint.

Now, for shadow colour, I'll take
a little white, a little blue,

some black and mix me up
a shadow colour here.

Put a little brown in that too.

There.

Give it sort of a blueish-grey
and you can...

There, tone it to whatever
degree you want it.

OK? Cut across.
Let's go right up here.

And I'm going to lay in just
a little indication of shadow,

right in there. Just like so.

Now I want that to be farther back,
so very lightly, we'll take

this brush and give it a little tap,
and then, very lightly...

Very lightly, barely...

Barely caressing the canvas,
follow the angles.

There we go.

And we'll just let this disappear
right off into nothing.

That's far, far away.

OK. Now then... Now then...

Add a little bit more brown to that
same colour and sometimes a little

Yellow Ochre does wonders, but don't
over mix, leave it like that.

Cut off a little hunk.

Now we can start playing in here.

See? By not over mixing, all these
colours happen automatically.

Beautiful little things.

If you tried to sit here
and plan all those,

you'd have a devil of a time.

But you do them accidentally,
they just fall in there.

Look at that. But we never... We
never admit this was an accident.

If somebody asked, well,

we planned this son of a gun
right from the beginning.

I watch a lot of people when
they first start selling paintings

and they...

People will say, you know,
"You going to sell that painting?"

They say, "Yeah!
Yeah, I want to sell that painting,

"but there's a couple of little
errors in it.

"You know, this tree's wrong,
or those mountains are wrong..."

Don't tell nobody that!

You wouldn't... You wouldn't buy
somebody else's mistakes.

Nobody's going to buy yours.

If they didn't like the painting,
they wouldn't ask you.

And maybe the thing in that painting
that troubles you the most is

just what makes them the happiest.
So don't ruin their illusion.

Here, I'm using a little of that
shadow colour

and just bringing it down.
I'm going to take the small knife

and go right into some very
dark colour.

I want to increase the intensity
of some of these shadows back here.

Look at that.

This little knife gets into some
places that you might find

a little difficult with a big knife.

There. It just slips right in.

Look there, maybe there's a little
more shadow right in there.

There might even be the tiniest
little bit of light that hits...

Oh, look at that! Mm! Look at that.

That easy.

Bring it around.

Look there, create all kinds
of beautiful little effects, just...

Just letting a knife just graze
it... Graze it, graze it, graze it.

I want it to sort of slope out,

little lighting singing through
there and hitting.

Take a dry brush.

Make sure these brushes are dry
when you do this.

If they're wet, you're going

to watch your painting just
drip off your canvas.

Then you're going to be mad at me.

And I want you to be happy with
your paintings. And happy with us.

OK. Now we can play a little more.

I'll take a little more of that
Yellow Ochre and some Bright Red.

And some Sienna,
we'll just mix all this together.

Put a little white in there.

Once again, don't over mix it.

See? There.

Now, you have to start making some
decisions. Where does this live?

There it comes.

Look at what happens there because
you did not over mix that paint.

It comes down, there it is.

Let it go, let it go, let it go.

Like that. Let it go.

Wherever. Wherever.

Wherever.

I'm going to take a touch...

A little bit of the same colour
with more white in it,

just to sparkle it up.

Just so a little light is...

A little light just playing
through here and...zing!

It hits and it bangs and it plays.

There's one right there.

Mm!

These little light things happen.

OK.

Going back to my little knife.

And back behind here,

we need a shadow. Look at that.

That makes that a separate entity.

Just by putting a shadow behind it.

Just like that.

And we come down in here.

And we can raise parts out.
Look, right there.

Just by putting a little dark area
and changing the angle.

Angles are very important
when you're doing mountains.

Very, very important.

OK.

I'm going to take

and go into the tiniest little bit
of Cad Yellow with that big brush.

Just tap the bristles in there, OK?

Maybe, right up here, there's a...

Look here, a little grass that grows
right up the side of that mountain.

Just wherever. Just let it
sort of blend together and have fun.

There. All the little effects.

Just let your brush work.

Let it go.

You can put the least little
touch of Sap Green here and there.

Oh, look at that!
See how it separates?

Brings those apart?
Looks like a whole separate entity.

Just that easy.

That easy.

Tell you what, maybe I'm just going
to throw some dark in here

and watch... Watch what happens.

Watch what happens.

Go back to the same old brush

and we're going to take
some of that dark colour...

Look there.

Look there.

And we'll just begin bringing
all this together.

You can make a multitude of things
happen, just by using the brush.

That all these little things
just live in here and play.

Mm.

OK.
Take off some of that excess paint.

Soften that right up like that.

All righty.

All righty.

And, then, with a clean brush,

we can soften that even
a little more

and create
the illusion of mist in it.

OK.

I think that gives you a general
idea of how to make

a fantastic little mountain.

I'm going to go in here and drop
in a few little background trees.

We'll just use some black
and some blue, pick up some white.

And a little brown, what the heck!

What the heck! There we go, OK.

Let's go right up here.

Maybe there's some happy little
trees that live right here,

right there.

Let them go.

Let them go.

Wherever you want them.

There we are.

See? You can just as make as many
trees in your world as you want.

I'll stop them right there.
That's enough.

That's enough right there.

Now, with a good, dry brush,
I want to just tap this.

Just want to tap it.

That softens it all up.

Lift upward.

Very lightly just blend it out.

That gives us a nice little
layer of some background trees.

Let's go...
We'll use the old round brush.

I'm going still into the black,
add a little Sap Green to it,

a little brown.

OK, let's go up here.

Maybe there's a happy little tree
and he lives right there,

whole bunch of little trees.

Just tapping these in.

I'm using a darker colour here,

so it stands
out against the other colour.

And we'll put a few
highlights on it.

That'll show too,

we'll just drop some down here,
that'll be reflections.

Right into a little
bit of the yellow, the Yellow Ochre,

and then you can put...

Look there!
..a few little highlights.

These trees are closer.

You're beginning to see some
highlights in there.

Just tap them off.

Very lightly.

Don't overdo it. Don't overdo.

Just a few.

Put a few in layers. Look there.

That easy. That easy. You get some
nice little background trees.

We'll take a two-inch brush,
grab it, and pull down. Look there.

That quickly, you get some
beautiful little reflections.

That may be one of the nicest things
that happens in this

technique is reflections.

You just pull it down very lightly.

Go across and you have instant,
instant reflections.

Take a little of the Liquid White.
To that, add a little of the blue.

It's very thin paint.
Cut across it. Let's go up here.

That will give us some water lines
back here in these little trees.

Helps create the illusion of depth.
It shows different plains again.

Take the point of the knife
and I'll get a few little sticks

and twigs, just like so.

OK, I'm going back to the same
old round brush,

go back into some brown
and green and black.

And maybe right here... Yeah.

You're right.

There lives a nice little
happy tree.

And he comes right down like that.

See? Just think like a tree
when you do these.

Maybe right on back through here.

Like so. Maybe there's a big
son of a gun there.

Go into a little bit of the Dark
Sienna and add that right in there.

This'll just be a little background,
drop it in.

There.

There we go. That quick.

OK. Tell you what, let's do the same
thing right over here.

Maybe there's a happy little
thing right there.

This sort of... This sort of helps
with the compositioning.

Brings some borders around the edge.
Makes the painting look

a little better.
Pushes everything farther back.

There we go.

Just like so. Some nice,
warm tones in here.

OK.

Now then...

Let's take the old fan brush here,

we'll put in a few basic
little tree trunks.

We'll just use some brown,
just a little bit of brown.

There we go. Let's go up here.

Maybe there's a happy little
tree trunk in there.

Right in there.

There's one.

Just some indications.

We're not looking for a lot
of detail right now.

Just here and there.

Drop them in.

Now, I'm going
to take a one inch brush,

we'll dip it into a little
bit of the Liquid White.

Let's go into some yellows,
some greens, a little Yellow Ochre.

Just mix them on the brush.

OK? Let's go up here.

Let's begin popping in just
some nice little

highlights on some of these
little trees here.

That easy.

OK.

Add a little

of the Bright Red to that.
Look there.

Mm! All kinds of beautiful
little effects.

And do this in layers, so it creates
all kinds of depth in there.

Now, a happy little
reflection right there.

Right there.

Go across.

And we got that rascal.
Let's put a few on the other side.

There he is. Right there.

Mm, mm, there.

We're just using a brush sidewards.

Just bend them right out.

There.

OK.

Let's... Let's have a few little
stones down here.

We'll take a little
bit of the Van Dyke Brown...

Let me clean off my knife.

Come right down here.

There we go.

There is a little stone.
Right there.

Maybe there's some over here too.

Can't ever tell.

I'm just going to pull
a little bit of that down,

it'll end up being reflections,

like so.

Right out like that.
Wherever you want it. Maybe...

Tell you what, there's a little
stone out in the water,

there's another one.

Maybe we'll just have a bunch
of them out here in the water.

Just drag them across.

Like that.

Take an old big brush...

Let's bring this right on down.

This is just brown and green.

Just a nice dark colour.

Right on down like that.

Hm. We're getting crazy here!
I don't know what's going to happen.

We'll use a little bit of this brown
and white, just put a little

highlight here and there on some
of these little stones.

These little stones out here need
some highlight on them too.

Just let it bounce around and play.

Just like so.

Now, you know me, I always
like to have a little cabin.

Let's build us a little cabin.

Right about here.

Just a little one.

There you go. Zoop!

Look at that little rascal!

That easy.

I wish it was really that easy
to build a little cabin

out in the woods.

Look there.

And we'll take some brown
and some white,

we'll put a few little
highlights on the front of him here,

like that.

Take the knife, cut through,
make it look like some old slabs.

A little bit of brown,
give him a door.

Got to have a door.

A little touch of white
around the door, so it stands out.

Now, let's take...

We'll use a little bit of red
and brown mixed together.

Put some red on his roof here,
go boop-boop-boop,

doot-doot-doot, doot-doot-doot.

Just let that fall
right off your knife. See there?

Easy way to make a quick little
indication of a happy little

roof, put a little light colour here
to make him stand out.

Now, then...

A little bit of yellow.

We can pop in a few happy little
bushes around his foots.

And over here, let's do this... Over
here, here's a nice little bush.

Look at that.

Just let these little rascals...

Layer after layer after layer.

Just layering effect though...

Once again, I know you're
tired of hearing me say it,

but this layering effect is what
creates the depth in your painting.

Let's have some fun.

Let's put a few
big old trees in there.

I'm over right into the
Van Dyke Brown and the Sienna,

just mix them together.

Make a decision. I think there's
a tree that lives right there.

A big tree.

And he's got a friend there.

There he is.

OK, let's go on the other side.

Maybe over here,
there's really some big trees. Zoom!

And I'm going to get a letter,
sure as a devil, that says,

"Why did you mess up that painting
with all those trees?"

There we go.
There's another big tree.

And one right there.
However many trees you want.

You just drop them in.

Just drop them in.

And we'll take a little
bit of the Liquid Black,

a liner brush with some
thinner on it.

Let's drop in a few indications
of some happy little limbs here

and there.

Just a few.

And while you're doing this at home,
you put as many in as you want.

I just want to show you
how to do it.

There we go.

Just however many.
A few on these over here.

Don't want them to be left out.

There.

OK.

There.

Just drop them in.

Take a little of the Liquid White
and highlight a few of them.

Just wherever.

OK. I'm going to take a little
bit of the highlight colour

and just make these stand out,
just barely touching,

give it a little pull.

See? Just barely touching.

Pull it.

Look at that. Makes the little trees
just stand right out.

Just...

Think of which side the light
would hit. There you go.

A little bit...
Little bit right over here.

Don't want this tree to get lonely.

If you leave him out,
he'll get upset.

We don't like unhappy trees
in our paintings.

All right. Tell you what...
Tell you what,

we got just about enough time left
to play around here

and we'll put a few little
happy leaves here.

I'll take a little Cad Yellow,
a little Sap Green and I'm just...

Just tapping that brush
right into it.

OK? Let's go right up here.

Now then, just think
about where the leaves would be.

See, just tap them in.

Keep a lot of paint on your brush.

A lot of paint.
Leave them loose and very airy.

I hope that's a proper word, airy.

Sounds good anyway.
You know what I mean.

Sometimes I'm bad about
making up words,

so don't pay any attention.

And if you're young
and still going to school,

don't tell your English teacher.

She'll be writing me
bad letters too.

But see how you can make
the indication of thousands

of little leaves, that quick?

Let's do this over here.

Look. Just tap.

Think of the basic shapes
though you want here.

Don't just hit them in at random.

Look at that!
Look at that, look at that.

Ooh, I get excited
when I see these things.

Maybe that's the reason
I continue to paint.

It's one of the few things that...
You paint for a million years,

you always know the next painting
you do is going to be

a little bit better, you're going
to learn a little more.

Like that.

All right.

I think we can take a one-inch brush
here with a little paint on it.

Let's go right down here,
his foots...

Let's put some happy little things
right there at his foots.

OK. I'm just about out of time.

So I'm going to take
a little bit of colour here,

put a little bit of water line
right around here, just a tiny bit.

Pull this down.

And I'd like to thank you
for being with us today.

I hope you've enjoyed this one.

And I look forward to seeing
you next time.

And until then, from all of us here,

happy painting, God bless.
