All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x02 - _track3_[eng]

Hi. Welcome back.
Glad you could join me today.

Today, I thought we'd do
a fantastic little painting,

and I think you'll really enjoy it.
It'll make you happy.

Let's have them graphically write
all the colours across the screen

that you need to do this painting
at home with me.

And they'll come across in the same
order as I have them on the palette,

starting with the white,
then working around.

Let's go on up here. I've covered
the canvas with a liquid white,

and it's ready to go.

So let's take...let's take
our old two-inch brush

and we'll go right into
a touch of the phthalo blue.

And I'm going to re-tread over here
and grab some alizarin crimson.

So we have phthalo blue
and alizarin crimson.

Proportionately, we'll use much,
much more crimson than blue.

The blue is many times stronger.

This will look black until you go up
to the canvas. So let's go up here.

Now, up here, sort of...sort of
give it a little test

and see if it's what you want.

If it's not what you want,
stop and change it right then.

Don't keep going cos it's not
going to get any better.

Now, using little
crisscross strokes...

..I'm just going to fill in
the basic area.

I think we'll do some big, fluffy,
beautiful clouds today.

I like clouds.

I like clouds.
They're a lot of fun to do.

Just sort of let this play around
and have fun.

There we go.

And as you work down the canvas,

your brush is picking up
the liquid white,

and automatically, automatically,
it gets lighter in value.

And in a landscape, your sky
should get lighter and lighter

as it works toward the horizon.

And with the liquid white,
that happens automatically.

You don't have to worry about it,

you don't have to plan it,
it happens.

All right. We got a big, old, wild
sky there already.

Now, while I have that colour
on my brush,

I'm going to add a little more
and go right back in here,

and let's put some water
in this painting.

So let's start here
and pull from the outside in.

And we'll have some water in here.
There we go.

Now, you want your water to be
darker down here than up here.

Once again, that would help create

the illusion of depth
in your painting.

All right.
We come from this side over.

We really don't care right now,

we're just trying to get in
some basic, basic colours.

There we go.

OK, I'll wash the brush.

Wash the old brush. Shake it off.

Give it a good rap,
then we're ready to go.

Now, then, I want to work on the sky
a little bit.

So start in the light area

when you have a clean brush,
and blend upward.

If you have a dirty brush,
start at the top and work downward.

Clean brush, you start in
the light area and work upward.

Very lightly.

OK, and then down here,
all the way across.

That light area will remain,
if you're very gentle.

Don't get too strong,
take a weak pill.

There. OK.

Now, then...

..now, then we can play
a little bit.

I tell you what, let's use
the old one-inch brush today.

And...we'll go right into
a little bit of titanium white.

Then I'm going to reach over here,
pick up some yellow ochre.

We'll just put it right in here.

Least little touch of
the bright red.

Least little touch. Mostly ochre.

Let's go in here. And I want
some colour in these clouds today,

so just sort of figure out
where you want the shadows,

of the dark parts to be,
and just lay this in.

Now, since we have a lavender sky,
we can put yellows in it.

If we had a bright blue sky
and you put this yellow in there,

chances are you'd get
a brilliant green sky.

But since it's lavender, you mix
yellow and lavender together,

or purple, whatever
you want to call it,

and it will make a beautiful
brown colour.

We don't care about that,
that's fine.

That gives us a little colour to be
in the shadow part of the cloud.

Clean the old brush.

Give him a little rap,
then off we go.

And then I go right into
titanium white.

Same old one-inch brush.

And I'm loading a lot of paint
into the bristles, a lot of paint.

Look there. Good. Let's go up here.

Now, then, we have to make
some big decisions.

Where do these clouds live?

Here they come.
Watch 'em, watch 'em.

Tiny little circles.
Keep that brush moving at all times.

Maybe this goes right on off the
edge here.

You don't care.

Let these clouds just float around

and off the top there,
wherever, wherever.

Look at that. Big, fluffy
son-of-a-guns that play in the sky.

There!

They just float around.

Float around heaven all day.

Wouldn't that be a nice lifestyle?

It's what they do.
It's what they do.

No worries, no cares,

just float around, wait for the wind
to blow 'em here and there.

All right!

Keep talking like that and I'll want
to be a cloud in my next life.

There!

Now, with a two-inch brush, using
just the top corner of the brush,

I just want to begin
blending this out.

Blending it out.

Barely touching.

And don't overmix.

Probably one of the biggest mistakes
made in clouds is overworking them.

Pretend the clouds are lazy.
They don't want to be overworked.

Just...just enough to stir 'em up

and mix 'em up
and then leave 'em alone.

Now we'll fluff 'em!

Just grab it, lift it.

Big, circular strokes.

Big, circular strokes.

As we've said before, don't grab 'em
and go straight up

cos it'll look like it's raining up.

That'll really disturb you,

unless you turn the painting
upside down.

Turned upside down, then
it's going to be raining down.

There!

Sometimes, when you're painting,
you might want to put

rain off in the distance,
and that's the way to do it,

just pull those strokes down,
like that.

And it'll create that illusion
of rain that's far, far away.

There.

OK, let's do...let's do
some happy, little mountains.

And today, maybe I'll do them
with a fan brush.

Let's go into alizarin crimson,
phthalo blue.

Just mix them on the brush.

Then I'm going to reach over here
and get a little bit of white.

So we have blue, crimson

and a little titanium white.

Load a lot of paint into
the old fan brush.

Let's go right up here.

Maybe there's a little mountain
and he lives right back here.

Don't overmix the colour
on your brush.

And that way, you'll get all types
of little variations happening

in your mountain
without even trying.

There!

There we go.

Now, we'll take the large brush,
grab that.

And very lightly, very lightly,

just pull it out
and let it just float free,

back here, in the clouds.

Just sort of floats around. See?

Now, I want this one to be far away,

so you can just blend right over it.

You need a firm paint
when you're doing this.

If you use a thin paint,

you're going to instantly become
a mud-mixer.

Then you're going to yell at me
and I don't want that to happen.

Use the firmest paint you can find.

Now, same colours, same colours,

but I'm going to leave the white
out. I want this to be darker.

So we have blue and crimson.

Tell you what, let's put
some midnight black in there, too.

Blue, brown.
I mean, blue, crimson...

..and a little bit of
midnight black.

OK, let's go back up here.
Maybe there's a happy mountain...

OK.

OK, he lives...

Yeah, he does, right there.

Look at that. So you just shape
these however you want 'em.

However you want 'em.

This is your world, and you can
create any kind of mountain

that you want in here.

Maybe he's got a little arm
that pokes up right there.

We don't know, don't care.

See? Just let him go.
Go ahead and let him go.

This one's a little darker than
the one in the back,

so it helps, once again, to create
that illusion of distance.

Now, then, with our two-inch brush,

we'll grab that colour
and pull it out.

Just pull it out.

These could be nice,
desert-type mountains.

Hm!

With all the shapes they have.

There we go.

And we let that mountain just sort
of...just sort of float back there.

I have...I have several fan brushes
going,

so let me go to another fan brush.

We're going to...

Let's use some... Tell you what,
let's use some dark sienna...

..some Van Dyke brown...

..like so. Then we'll grab
some white and put it in there.

There! Very good.

OK, load a lot of paint
into the brush.

And...now begin deciding

where you want highlights
to be on this mountain.

Now, if you live in an area
that has mountains, look around
at the colours.

Change the colours of your painting
so they match what's in your area -

if you're doing paintings
from that area.

You know, any colour will work here.

All I want to do is show you
how to make it work.

And what colours you use
are up to you.

The fan brush makes some very nice
little mountains.

Very nice.

And just vary the browns
and the whites, all back...

So you get all kinds of little happy
things that are happening in there.

These fan brushes are unbelievable!

Nice brushes to play with.

There's a little thing
right in there, maybe one here.

Let that come right on
to wherever you want it to go.

OK. Now, then, I'm going to use
that lavender colour

with a little more blue into it.

And with that,
we'll come back up here

and we can begin laying

the indication of a few highlights
here and there.

Just like so.

See? Just...
The principles are the same

as if you were making
these mountains with your knife.

And you can make them
with your knife,

I just want to show you
some different type of things.

OK, you can just give an indication
of a shadow or two in here.

Like so. There we go.

Wherever you think a shadow should
be, that's where it should be.

And a few over here.
I will probably cover those up,

so I'm not too worried about 'em.

You know me, I always got to have
a bunch of trees

and all kinds of things in there.

Now, then, maybe a little highlight.
Just take some white.

There we go.

And maybe here and there, just...

This is a sort of a grey colour,

what was in the brush,
mixed with white.

It makes a nice grey colour.

And you can put all kinds of
different things happening in there.

But the principles are exactly
the same as if you're doing it
with a knife.

The light will strike
in the same areas.

There we go.

There. And you can...you can slip
back, pick up a few dark colours

if you want to make some very deep
shadows in there.

Deep, deep shadows.

Not too many, just a few.
Just a few.

OK.

Now, with a clean, dry,
two-inch brush,

I want to tap this.

Soften it and create the illusion
of mist.

Like so.

Like so. Very soft.

And then, very gently blend that.

Blend it, blend it, blend it.

And you can bring it all together.

Be sure your brush stays clean.

You can beat the brush, rather than
going through the whole cleaning
procedure.

That'll take off that excess paint.

Now, let's use this same, old,
dirty brush.

Now I'm going to a little bit of
sap green, a little bit of brown.

And maybe there's some happy
little things that grow right up
the side of this. Follow the angles.

Just here and there,
there's a couple of little...

little happy,
little happy doers there.

OK.

Once again, good, clean, dry brush,
tap it.

So it creates that illusion of mist,
we'll give it a little upward lift.

Like that.

Now, then, let's play some more.

We'll take some green...

..some green, and we'll go back into
that lavender colour we used

and just mix them all up together
here.

OK, let's go up here.

Maybe there's a little Foote Hill
that lives right in there.

This is sap green.

I think there's a little bit of
alizarin crimson in there

and some of the lavender colour
we used.

Just all those pretty colours.

We'll put a little Foote Hill
in there.

Right there. OK.

Clean brush, we'll tap that.

Just to create
that illusion of mist.

Lift upward.

Dab-doo-doo-doo.

See, anything that happens in here,
you can just blend it out.
It goes away.

No big deal.

Now, then, let's start playing.

I'll take a little bit of yellow,
some sap green

and just tap them together.

Now, if your green's too bright,
as crazy as it sounds,

reach over here and take
a little bright red and put it in.

Because green and red make brown.

And that'll dull that
bright, bright green down,

if it's too bright for you.
OK, let's go up here.

Now, maybe back in here, we're going
to begin having some little...

little land areas
that are happening.

There we go.

Very soft. Little...little happy
meadow things back in here.

And just sort of vary your colour
so they look like little shadows

and highlights all playing
and just having fun.

There we go.

More and more and more.

Tell you what, tell you what,

get a one-inch brush, now,
go into some green...and some black.

We'll put a lot of paint on
the brush. OK, let's go up here.

Now, maybe there's some happy
little trees that live back in here.

Just...just little trees.

Follow the lay of the land.

This is where you begin
creating that illusion.

And you can put as many
or as few of these in as you want.

See? Already, that's beginning
to help create the illusion

of depth, distance.

There, right in there.

Let's go back on this other side
over here.

Maybe there's a bigger one that...
Yep, you're right.

You were right,
he lives right there.

And all we're doing right now
is just laying in some dark colour

so when we put our light colour
on there, it'll show up.

Because, as you know, you have to
have dark in order to have light.

Just like in life.

Have to have a few dark days so you
know when those nice days come.

I'm using sap green and yellow.

Yellow ochre, Indian yellow.

Pull it in one direction,
a lot of paint.

OK, let's go up here.

Now, then, we can begin
putting in some highlights.

Be careful that you don't kill
all the dark.

This starts working so nice,
it's almost...

it's almost hard sometimes to stop,
but you got to stop.

See, leave those dark areas
in there.

That's what...that's what
gives depth to 'em. Dimension.

There we go.

There we go.

Look at all those little
happy bushes.

They just live right in there.

Look at all of them.
Layer after layer, after layer.

Over here, there is another one.

Look at that. See?

You can do it.

The first step...and the first step
in being able to do anything

is believe that you can do it.

Because you can do it.
You can do it, you know that.

Believe that you can do it.
See it in your mind.

See it finished
before you ever start.

Think about what you're going to do.

And...

I'm sort of a fanatic, but I believe

that you can accomplish anything
that you want to accomplish,

but you start out by believing here

that it's already happened,

and you see what it's going
to look like when it's done.

You build a little dream
in your mind.

And you can do that.
Practise it. Practise it.

It's like, you know, athletes,
when they go to that big event,

boy, if they're going to make
a big jump...

..they think about that
in their mind.

They see themselves going over that
big hurdle over and over and over.

And then, when it comes time,
it's easy.

And do the same thing in painting.

I'm taking a little bit of the
dark colour that was on this brush
and pulling down.

This will be a little reflection.

Sometimes I get on my soapbox
and I talk too much. I'll hush.

Right over in here.

There we go. Pull it straight down,
straight down, straight down.

Very lightly, go across.

You just want to create
the illusion of water.

There!

Now, then, clean off my knife.

Let's go right up in here.

We'll take a little bit of this
dark colour.

This is just the browns.

Let's put a little bank in here,
little shoreline.

I just have a little roll of paint
on the knife.

Just allow the knife
to barely touch

and to graze the canvas.

Just slide over the canvas,
and leave a little bit of paint.

It'll look like land areas
and all kind of little...

little happy things going on.

A little touch of brown and white
here and there.

Light colour, that'll sparkle it up.

Let the sun play through.

There.

Now, then, let's take
an old, big brush

and we'll go right through
some Van Dyke brown,

we'll pick up some black, crimson,
sap green, whatever.

Go right up in here,

and then we'll begin touching,
pushing, bending that brush upward.

Bend it upward. Don't let it slide.

If the brush slides, you're going
to get that. You don't want that.

You want it to look like
hundreds and thousands

of little leaves that are
playing on through here.

There we go.

Maybe... Tell you what, let's do...
Let's just...let's have some fun.

We'll just let this come
right on out, like that.

Right out, like that.

Isn't it fantastic that you can
just change your mind

and create all kinds of happy things

in a heartbeat, in one second?

You can change your mind,
you can change your painting.

What started out as a meadow can
end up being a lake, or vice versa.

That's the kind of power
that you have on canvas.

See? And now I've decided

there's going to be another little
peninsula here.

So we need some shadows,
pull them straight down.

Straight down.

Go lightly across.

And easily, we have water.

Let's take our knife,
we'll put a tree trunk here.

I'll just use some dark sienna.

Maybe there's a happy little tree
trunk that lives right in this tree.

Just like that, point of the knife

scrape in a few little sticks
and twig indications.

Let's go on the other side,
do the same thing. Just...

just scrape them in.

Let the canvas shine through.

There!

Now, we'll go back to
our one-inch brush,

I'm going to dip it into
a little of the liquid white.

Add some yellow, some sap green,
some sap green.

OK, let's make a happy leaf
on this tree.

Touch...push, bend the brush
a little bit.

Go slightly, slightly
above the dark.

You don't want shadows to be
on the top.

I'm going to use another brush here.

Let me clean one up.
I'm about to run out of brushes.

All right, a little bit of
the liquid white, some yellow.

And I'm going to pick up a touch,
just a touch, of the bright red.

We'll make a sparkler in here.

And he lives right there.
Right there. Look at that!

Mm! That one's so pretty,
it almost hurts!

Boy, it's a beauty.
That is a beauty!

See there? See there?

You can do it.

Some yellow ochre
and some of the greens,

and I'm just going to begin creating
layer after layer

of all kinds of little bushes,
leaving some dark in between
each one.

If you kill that dark...

then they're going to just all blend
together, and we don't want that.

We want to see individuals up close.

The foreground is the hardest part
of the painting.

Ooo! There's a beauty!

Mm!

See? We don't make mistakes,
we have happy accidents.

And learn to live with
those accidents.

When they happen, recognise them!
Recognise them!

Stop right there.
Don't...don't keep going.

Don't just kill 'em.
They're beautiful!

Beautiful. Work with them.
Let's go back over here.

Here's a nice tree.
I'll put some leaves on him.

There we go!

Work in layers.

Create patterns in your tree.

Just create these patterns...so
your tree stands out.

Don't just bang, bang, bang
and hit it random.

That's what your tree
will look like.

There we go. If you have trouble
making your paint stick,

add the least little touch of
liquid white, or paint thinner.

Either one. The liquid white will
make your colour a little brighter.

Which, a lot of times, is very good.

But if you don't want that,
then add a little thinner.

Or you can add a little bit
of liquid clear.

There we go.

Tap some of that right down
in there...like that.

That'll end up being happy.
little reflections.

See there? See there? See there?

There we go, right across.

OK.

We'll take some brown,
and once again,

we'll create a little bit of dirt
right there.

Doop-soup-soup.

A little light colour.

Just barely touch, barely touch,
pull it across.

Now, then, some liquid white
on my knife,

pull it out very flat,
then cut across.

And let's go right in here.

We need some happy little waterlines
here and there.

Look at that. See?

That cleans it all up,
brings it together.

That easy.

OK.

Now, I tell you what, let's do...

Tell you what, let me find...

We will use...
Let's use the filbert brush.

We'll start with some brown.
Just load a lot of brown right into
your brush.

Maybe there's a tree that lives...

Yep, right there.

Right there. I'm just going to show
you how to make a quick little tree.

Like so.

And you put as many, or as few
little limbs on there as you want.

You take your liquid black
and put a whole bunch of

nice leaves...limbs on there.

There, we'll take some yellow
and a touch of the red

and tap it into the brush.

And just put the indication of
some happy little leaves in there.

Oh, that's a sparkler!

And with that, I think that gives us

a nice completed painting.

Gave you a lot of ideas
so you can do your own masterpiece.

Send me some pictures,
let me see what you're doing.

I think we'll call this painting
finished.

And from all of us here,
I'd like to wish you happy painting.

God bless.
