All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x01 - _track3_[eng]

Hi! I'm glad to see you today.

You ready to do another fantastic
oil painting with me?

Well, let's go and get started here.

I tell you what, let's have 'em
graphically put all the colours

on the screen that you need to paint
along with me

and they'll come across in the same
order as I have them on the palette.

While they're doing that,
let's go on up here.

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

of the liquid white.

It's wet and slick
and it's all ready to go.

So let's get started.

I thought today we'd do a, let's do

just a happy, little painting that
has a big mountain in it

and shoot, maybe a little water

and all those beautiful things.
Let's do it.

I want to take off today with a
two inch brush.

Go into a small amount of the yellow
ochre, just a little bit.

Tap it into the bristles.

Let's go right up here.

Now then, maybe right in here,
using the little

crisscross strokes, we'll lay a
small amount of the yellow ochre.

A very, very small amount.

Don't get carried away with it.

Just a little bit.

OK. Now then,
without cleaning the brush,

I'm going to touch the least
little amount

of alizarin crimson.

Just, just a very small amount.

Come back up here,
and here and there,

I just want to blend
in a little touch of that,

just to give it a little bit
of warmth.

Nice and warm, and very soft.

There we go.

OK. I don't want to set this sky
on fire.

All we want to do is to put the
least little bit of warm colour

into it and we will throw
a little bit of that colour

right down in this area.

We know that's going to be water.

So we can just go ahead
and throw it in.

OK. Let me clean the old brush,

scrub it off.

Shake off the excess.

Then...

HE CHUCKLES

..then just beat the devil
out of it! That is really fun.

You'll like it. You'll like it.

Let's start.

Same old brush

and we'll go right
into the midnight black.

Load some colour onto the brush.

All right.

Let's go right back up in here.

We'll just take a little of that
black colour and I'll just sort

of, still using the little
crisscross strokes,

just begin making some happy
little things in the sky here.

There we go.

Just make all kinds of little
patterns and shapes and...

..just throw 'em in. Throw 'em in.

Just let your imagination take
you wherever you want to go.

This piece of canvas is your world.

So you can do anything
that you want here.

Anything.

There we go.

Well...

While we get that going,

I'm going to take a little bit
more of the black and put the least

a little touch of phthalo blue
into it.

So we have black and blue,

black and blue.

That's the way
I look after arguing with my wife!

There.

OK. We have the bristles
all loaded up and ready to go.

Now, pull from the outside, in.

And put a little bit of water right
in here.

I don't want to cover up all that
nice, light area in the centre.

We're going to have a little light
shining right through this area

when we're finished.
So don't cover all that up.

Pull it from the outside in.

There.

OK? Now, then,

let's wash the brush.

Get that really beat off there.

Now then, back into this light area.

And let's just blend the sky out.

Let all these little colours
just blend together,

so you can't tell where one stops
and the next one starts.

There we go.

You know, one of the questions
that I get asked quite frequently

is what kind of canvas do I use?

I'd recommend you have a canvas
that's double prime.

Two coats of primer on it.

That way, your liquid white will
stay wet

for an extended period of time.

We very rarely
ever use the canvas boards

because they will absorb
your liquid white

and pretty soon you're
working on a dry surface.

And the other thing is, I use
a canvas that has a grey

primer on it.

That way, you can tell exactly
where your liquid white is.

And you don't have to,

you don't have to wonder
if an area is covered or not.

OK. Let's build as a happy
little mountain in here.

I'm going to use the midnight black
and a phthalo blue,

black and blue.

Pull it out very flat, cut across,
get that little roll of paint.

Just go up here.

Now, you have to make
a big decision.

Where does your big mountain live?

Maybe right in here.

Where you want it, just drop him in.

And make all kinds
of little, little things.

The only thing you're worried
about is this nice, outside edge.

You couldn't care less what's
happening inside.

Just that nice, outside edge.

All right.

And sort of look around, if there's
mountains in your area,

then that's the kind of shapes
that you're probably most familiar

with and you are to put
in your painting.

If there are no
mountains in you area,

you can leave the mountains
out of these paintings.

It's no problem.

We just want to show
you how to do it.

WHAT you do is up to you.

Because when you paint, as you know,

very rapidly,

how to paint, how to paint
becomes easy.

That's the easiest part of it.

What to paint?

That's what's hard.

And we get a lot of questions
about where do you get

all the ideas for your paintings?

Believe it or not, a large
percentage of the ideas we get

are from photographs that people
send us, or ideas.

So if you have something you'd like
to see painting on one

of the shows, drop me a line.

You may see it, right here!

I'm taking a little bit of the
midnight black, titanium white,

making a grey colour. Cut off
a little roll of paint.

Now then, with that grey colour,

let's just put some happy
little highlights on here.

Just grab it.

No pressure.

No pressure.

Just sort of let it bounce and play

and have fun.

Let the paint break.

But no pressure.

Most gentle touch imaginable.

So, let it sort of
float across there.

No pressure at all.

There we go.

Tell you what. Let's have some
fun in this old mountain.

Take some phthalo blue
and alizarin crimson,

a little bit of titanium white.

So we have blue,

crimson, a little white.

And sort of make a little
lavender colour.

There we go.

Don't overmix it, leave
it all marbly, like.

OK, let's take a small edge of
the knife

and cut off a little roll
of paint. OK? Let's go up here.

Maybe over in here, we're just going
to begin touching and pulling down.

This will be the shadow side.

Let these little colours
just happen.

There! Look at all
the little things.

That's what makes it pretty.

And you know, on this piece
of canvas, you can have any colour

combination that you want.

Any colour.

This is your world.

And you can make it any way
you want it.

Painting, to me, represents freedom.

I can create the kind of world
that I want to see,

that I want to be part of.

And you can, too.

Now then, I want to place more here.

I'm going to go
right into the dark sienna.

Put a little tiny bit
of white with some...

..cut off that little roll
of paint again.

Just a tiny little bit
on the small edge of the knife.

And then, right back up in here,
and just barely touch.

Just graze it here and there.

This is a time you could use
a small knife.

It would work very good
for this.

There.

Just wherever, wherever,

wherever you think a little bit of a
colour should show.

And you can make it a little
brighter in places.

Take some of the mountain colour
and go back

and you can drop in some
dark shadow areas.

See how you can play with
that mountain?

Just let some of these colours

just, sort of, just work
back and forth.

Then bring them all together.

A lot of fun.

Back to our highlight colour,

let it sort of overlap
here and there.

OK. Now, with a clean, dry,
two inch brush,

I want to begin misting this.

Just tap it

to follow the angles in your
mountain

and you're just barely tapping.

Over here, follow these angles.

I want to create the illusion of
mist at the base of these.

Now, lift upward.

Very softly, very softly.

Barely, barely caressing the canvas.

There we go.

See? Just barely touching it.

You can soften and bring
all that together.

This looks like sort of a, reminds
me of a mountain,

maybe in Arizona, New Mexico,

somewhere like that,
beautiful scenery there.

And we have so many fantastic
friends in that area.

Now then, you can begin

creating all different planes
in your mountain.

Just all kinds of beautiful
little things.

Maybe it's a little dark
right there.

You just place some of these colours
right through there.

Um!

It's fun to do all these
little things.

Make you happy. Your friends will
never believe that YOU did that!

You'll never believe
what you could do

till you get in there and try it.

One of the earlier shows, we showed
you some of the paintings

that people are doing
all over the country.

And it's almost unbelievable

the success that people are
enjoying.

We now have oh, gosh,

we have now nearly 120 shows.

So out of 120,

you can certainly find one that
paints an area in Europe

where you live.

There, look at that!

And I'm just going to tap right
into a little bit of my lavender

colour, like black, a little brown,
just sort of, I'm just mixing

up all the mountain colours
on the brush.

Do it on the brush.

Now then, let's go right up in here.

And maybe there's some happy
little things that just come

right down this mountain.

Follow the angles in the mountain.

That's very important.

Very important.

There we go.

There they come in.

Come right down this side.

There.

See? Just taps some little things
in there

and that helps create

the illusion of distance and
depth in your painting.

Now, very lightly, short,

tiny little strokes.

Lift upward.

Tiniest, tiniest, little strokes.

Quarter of an inch type.

Teeny, tiny, little strokes.

There.

OK. Now then, with a clean brush,

I want to create the illusion of
more mist in here, so take a clean

brush and begin just tapping them.
That way, it'll mix with the liquid

white and will get softer
and softer.

Mistier and mistier. That easy.

OK.

Um! See how quiet and
far back that looks?

Gives you a strong,
almighty mountain.

OK.

I think we got a nice
little mountain back here.

So I'm going back to my old dirty
brush here.

We're going to some brown and
we'll pick up some sap green.

A little bit
of that mountain colour.

Just all the dark colours

with some sap green added,

same old mountain colours.

The black and the browns.

OK. Let's go right in here.

And maybe, maybe we'll have a happy
little foothill.

Yep. Lives right there.

Say, just take the corner of the
brush and pull straight down.

Straight down.

Just sort of,

just tap it and pull downward.

All you're worried about,
this nice top edge.

There.

OK? Now, we know this is going
to be water, so underneath here

I'm going to put what will end
up being reflections.

Just drop them in. When I was a
traditional painter,

these reflections were little son of
you guns, used to drive me crazy,

but on a wet canvas reflections are
one of the easiest, most fun things

that you can do.

Now, with a clean brush

grab it, pull straight down.

It's important that this comes
straight down,

straight down.

And very lightly, go across.

You don't want to destroy
all these little lines in here.

All you want to do is just move
them a little bit,

so it looks like water.

Happy little water things
happening all back in there.

OK. Now then, take a one inch brush,

go into some black, some sap green.

There we go.

Just pull it in one direction
through there.

Load a lot of paint
into the bristles.

OK, let's go back up here.

Maybe there's all kind of
little bushes that live right

along the edge of the water here.

Just drop in some basic
little shapes

to help give
the illusion of distance.

Let 'em get smaller as they go
back over this way.

That will help make it look
like they go farther

and farther away.

And if you happen to hit
in the wrong place, maybe down here,

for example, all you do
is take your brush, pull it down.

See there?

That easy.

You can create a reflection.

You have to remember,
we don't make mistakes.

We don't make mistakes.

We have happy accidents!

OK? I'm going to go into
some yellow

with a one inch brush

and some sap green.

Yellow and green.

Also, try making greens out of the
midnight black and yellow.

Beautiful colour.

One direction. Load a lot of paint.

Let's go back up here.

Now then, I want to come right
in here.

See here?

And just begin putting some little
bushes and some little trees

that are way back in here.

All kinds of happy little things.

There is one that's a little
more green in it.

You can turn the brush
over and reflect a little bit.

Right into the water.

Look a' there, that easy!

Can add some yellow ochre,
Indian yellow.

All these little things.

There. See? Turn it over, tap a
little bit right into there.

That easy.

That easy.

Grab it. Pull down. Straight down.

Most important is come
straight down.

Now, this is two hairs and some
air and then go across.

See here? Instant reflections.

There we go.

OK.

Take the knife and put a little bit
of liquid white, right out here.

Cut across it, like that.

Go right up in here,

and we'll just literally cut in
some nice waterlines,

right through there.

There we go.

Keep those lines basically straight,

basically straight.

And you can put as many little
ripples on your water as you want.

Sort of up to you.

OK.

Now then, I'd like to have some big
old strong evergreens in here.

I like evergreen trees here.
A lot of fun to paint.

So we'll take some black,
some black, sap green,

throw in some blue,

looking for a colour
that looks black.

And we might as well mix up a pretty
good amount here

and throw it the browns,
whatever you have laying around.

OK. Let me clean the knife off.

Maybe today,
tell you what, let's do,

let's use an old two inch brush.

And load it full of paint.

You need enough paint
in the bristles so the bristles

stick together, wiggle the brush.

Wiggle it, and then sharpen it.

So it becomes very sharp. See there?

Look how sharp it is.
That's a chisel edge.

That's what we're looking for.

Pull it.

Get it very sharp.

Maybe there is, well,
there is now.

There is a happy little evergreen.

And he lives right there.

Don't be afraid of this brush
because it looks big.

It'll do unbelievable things
for you.

Make it your friend.

Your brushes need to be your friend.

Learn what they will do.

Devote some time to practising.

If there is a secret to this or any
style of painting, whether it be

portraits or florals,
landscapes, it makes no difference.

If there's a secret, it's practice.

It's practice.

I always like the story about
the great violin player.

And he played a concert,

and afterwards a lady came up to him
and she says, "Oh, my gosh",

she says, "You're so fantastic."

She says, "I would give half my life
to be able to play like you do".

And he looked at her and he said,
"I did."

So that's all.

It's just practice.

You can be the best.

All you have to do is practise.

Devote some time to it.

Well, I get to talking here
and trees just appear everywhere!

If I talked for a couple of more
minutes,

we'd have a whole canvas full of
trees.

Tell you what. Let's put an almighty
tree right there.

Big, strong son of a gun.

He got a lot of sunlight.

There we go.

Just drop him in.

Isn't that a super way to make some
fantastic little evergreens?

Or big evergreens, in this case.

Then come right on down.

Right on down.

There we go. See? And another one.

There. When you're creating your own
world,

you have to make big decisions

about what lives in your world.

Let's have some happy little
bushes here.

I'll go back on this side.

We'll just push him. Mm!
There he is. There he is.

Just a little bush.

There we go.

All right. Maybe...

See, all of this, as you probably
know already,

is going to end up making
reflections.

That easy.
Let's go back to the other side.

I'm just getting crazy here.

Maybe there's a happy little tree.

He lives right here.

And let's just bring this...

Where? I don't know.

There. Like that. That's good.
That's good.

There.

And this you really...you really
push it in there.

Try not to let the brush
slide like that.

See the difference?

Practice bending the brush.

Just bend it.

There.

Your bushes will be much happier,

and if your bushes are happy -

you'll be happy.

And I sincerely want you to be happy
with what you're doing,

because that's when it becomes fun.

That's what makes it fun.

Take a little of the dark Sienna,
a little white,

get us a little roll of paint,
OK?

And we'll put some trunks in these
little, happy trees back here.

Just some indications.

You're not going to see the entire
trunk.

So don't worry about it.

Scratch in a few things.

Say there.

Where you just put all
kinds of little doers in there.

There we go.

Scratch in some trunk ideas,

and some down in here.

We can do the same thing
on the other side.

There we go.

Just some little indications.

Same thing.

Now, these things, most of them will
covered up,

but some of them will show
through, and people think

you spend a week with your little
one-haired brush in there.

Don't tell them any different.

Don't tell them any different.

Just enjoy.

OK. Now, then.
I'll go to the one inch brush.

Use sap green,

and a little bit of cad yellow.

Pull that brush to
a nice sharp chiselled edge.

Very sharp.

OK. Let's go back up here.
Now, then.

Let's put some nice highlights
on some of these trees.

Don't overdo.

Don't overdo.
It's real easy to kill all the dark.

It starts working, and you get
carried away,

and next thing you know, you've
covered up the whole tree.

Don't kill it all.

See there.

Just sort of work it back and forth
where you think light would strike.

OK. Let's go to the other
side, over here,

and put some highlights
on these old, big trees.

Let a little sun play through there
and sparkle those limbs.

You can do it.

OK. This comes right on down...

We don't know.
Wherever you want it to go.

A little bit on this.

Like so.

Now, then.

I want to take some more of
my yellows,

and I'm using three different
yellows here.

Indian yellow, yellow ochre,

and a little cad yellow.

Pull that brush in one direction.

Get it full of paint.

Come right up here.

Look there. There it is.

Let that just shine out there.

There, like all these little things.

I tell you what I'm going to do. We
know this is going to be reflection,

so let's pull that down.

Pull it straight down.

And then we can turn right around

and reflect some of this
into the water.

Right into the water,

and just put all these happy, little
things here, and do layers.

Layer after layer after layer.

And also layer it right
into the reflections.

Then we'll see if you have
a delicate touch.

Barely touch.

Barely touch.

Down and across.

OK. Then we'll go into some Van Dyke
brown,

and we're just touching here,

and we'll put in some nice, little
land areas,

little rocks and stones.

We can take some of that grey
colour we used on the mountains,

and just barely touch.

I just sort of bounce.

Just let it bounce along there.

Create the illusion of some
highlights,

then tap in a few little things just
to break up that straight edge.

A little liquid white.

Put us in a little waterline right
here.

See, that cleans up the bottom,
and brings it all together.

Scratch in a few more little sticks
and twigs.

And we got it.

That easy.

Maybe over here there's a...

If we decide said there's a nice
tree that lives here.

There it is. Just like so.

And you can pick up a touch
of the bright red.

Let's put something in there.

Oh, there's a nice, little
orange rascal.

See.

If you have trouble making
your paint stick - add a little bit

of paint thinner,
or a little bit of the liquid white.

There we go.

And work in layers.

I know you get tired of hearing me
say that, but it's important.

If you don't work in layers,
it's going to look flat.

I tell you.

I tell you what I want to do here.

We'll have a happy, little path.

So we'll just take Van Dyke brown...

Look at that. Look at that.

Just Van Dyke brown.

A little bit of dark Sienna in it
won't hurt.

Sort of nice.

Pull it across.

And we can take some brown
and some white and go back

and just barely touch.

It's just like making snow break
on the mountain.

See there?

And that easy, we have a happy,
little path.

Drop in all these little things
around.

There we go.

We'll push that path right
back and look it, there -

now you don't know where
the path goes.

Isn't that super?

He just sort of disappears
back here.

You'd wander around,

go up this path to catch a big,
old fish that lives in there

just like that.

OK.

Why not scratch in a few more sticks
and twigs,

wherever you think
they ought to live.

And I think we'll sign this one
and call it finished.

I'll dip my brush right into a
little bit of the liquid clear,

go through some bright red,
and I'll sign it right here.

The old clock on the wall
is telling me it's time

to leave you for this week.

So I certainly hope you've enjoyed
this painting.

Until next time, from all of us
here - happy painting.

God bless.
