All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x06 - _track3_[eng]

Hello! I'm glad to see you today.

I'm certainly glad
you could join me.

I thought today we'd do
a fantastic little painting

that I really believe you'll enjoy.

So let's start out and have them run
all the colours across the screen

that you need to do this painting
with me and they'll come

across, as usual, in the same
order as I have them on the palette,

starting with the white
and working around.

Let's go on up here and
let me tell you what I've done.

I have a canvas here, that's painted
black, as you can see.

Now, we use a black gesso to paint
this black.

On top of that, I've allowed
the black to dry, of course.

On top of the black, then,

I've put some Indian yellow here,
a little bit of Alizarin crimson,

and then some phthalo blue.

And down here, I've just put
a little bit of Van Dyke brown

around the edges.

I thought we'd do a pretty
little scene today

that I really believe you'll enjoy.
So let's start out.

I'm going to take the 02 inch brush

and go right into a little bit
of titanium white, just plain,

old titanium white.

Just put some in the bristles,
like so.

OK? And let's go right up here.

Now, today, right off,
you have to make a big decision.

Basically, where's the horizon
going to be?

That's the first decision.

So let's say it's going
to be right in here.

So let's just start making
little criss cross strokes in there.

Look at what's happening!

See? It picks up all those
beautiful yellow colours underneath.

And as it works up, we're going
to get into the

into the Alizarin crimson.

Mmm!

I love these black canvases.

So fantastic!

OK, and we'll just keep working
right on up.

OK? Now then, as you run
out of white paint on your brush,

clean your brush.

We'll just grub it off
in the old bucket here.

Give it a good shake.

HE CHUCKLES

And beat the devil out of it!

Now I'm going right back in here

and put a little bit
more of the titanium white.

I want to brighten this up some.

So, I always start with a clean
brush in the light area.

And work upward.

Upward, upward, upward.

OK.

Now I'm just adding
a little more white,

allowing some of this blue to be
picked up in the crimsons

and all the beautiful
little colours.

It's a fantastic way to make
a happy little sky.

There we go.

Now, when you're preparing
your canvas,

as I mentioned earlier,
it's covered with black gesso,

and you can use a black latex,

but latex is not designed
to hold paint,

so be careful with that.

It'll work in a pinch,

but if you have an option,

use a product that's
designed specifically

for making canvases black.

There.

Now then,

with our nice clean brush,

we can just go back
and blend all this together.

Mm, hope you got
your sunglasses on today.

That's one wild sky.

Just want to keep blending till you
can't tell where one colour stops

and the next one starts.
Just bring it together.

Very smooth.

About like so,

and very lightly go over to take
out all the brush strokes,

and you got a happy
little sky that quick.

That quick.

OK.

BRUSH HITS OFF EASEL

Let's have some fun.

Today, we'll choose...use
the ol' round brush,

and we'll go right into some
Van Dyke brown and dark sienna,

and just tap the brush.

Just firmly tap it.

Just like so. There we go.

OK, let's go right up here.

Now then, I want to have
some little trees and stuff

in the background here,

so take the round brush

and just tap in some basic shapes.

Just the very basic shape.

You're not really worried
about much at this point.

Look at that.

This ol' round brush
does some super things.

There we go.

Just all kinds of
happy little trees.

Mm.

Little more paint on the brush.

And there comes one.

All right. Maybe...maybe right here,

let's have a big, strong tree.

He lives right here.

There.

You can just absolutely
go crazy with this.

Make all kinds of trees.

And got to have a place
for the birds to sit.

There.

I introduced you to my little
bird earlier in the series.

There.

OK.

And that gives us
some basic shapes for

all of our little shrubbery
and bushes and trees

and all those little good things.

Now then, tell you what -

let's use the script liner brush,

and I'll dip it right
into some paint thinner,

and we'll go into some of the brown.

Now, you want this paint
to be as thin as water -

ink consistency.

And turn the brush. That loads it.

Turn it and pull it out.

See how sharp that is?

Turn it and pull it out.

A liner brush has
very long bristles.

It'll come to a fantastic point.

Let's go right up here.

Now then.

Let's just put the indication

of some happy little
tree trunks in here.

Just here and there.

Got to have something to hold
up all this...all these trees

and shrubbery and... There.

And maybe...maybe, maybe, maybe
there's...maybe there's one

that comes way on out like this.

Wherever.

You make the decision.

Here's one over here. This one
looks like he's sort of bent to me.

I like old trees that are leaning
over and have some character.

There we go.

And you can put as many or as few
branches as you want in your tree.

Just lay 'em on.

Now, if you have trouble making
the paint...making the paint

come off the brush, add
a little more paint thinner.

Remember our golden rule -

thin paint will stick
to a thick paint.

OK, and over in here, we don't
want this tree to be left out.

Let's give...let's give him
a happy little trunk.

There he is.

But you see how easy it is
to make a fantastic sky already.

And once you put these little trees
in, then it pushes everything back,

and it just, oh,
it makes it come alive.

Now then, let's take
the same ol' round brush.

I haven't cleaned it.
It's still dirty.

And we'll go into
some of the yellows,

and I'm just going
to tap in to yellow.

A little yellow ochre.

Just tap it.

And get quite a bit
of paint on the brush.

See how I'm tapping?

Do it slow, as you can see there,
but a lot of paint.

OK, let's go up here.

Now then, with just
the top corner of the brush,

let's go in here and begin
adding all kinds of little...

..little, bright,
shiny leaves on here.

All I'm doing is just touching.

But worry about shape.

Add a little of the bright
red to that.

Let's make one right...
Ooh, look at there! Mm.

Doesn't that one stand out nice?

But all you're doing is just
tapping with the top corner,

and then as you go
down, down, down,

let it get darker, darker,
darker, darker, darker.

Mm. OK. Let's go right up here.

Get a load of this ol' big tree.

Give him...give him some
little happy things going on.

Don't want him to be left out.

Look at that.

Look at that.

Isn't that fantastic?

I knew you could do it.

I knew.

There we go.

See now, when you're
doing these trees,

don't kill all the little
dark areas.

Leave some of these dark areas.
See in here?

We're going to use that
as a pointer.

The dark areas are as important
as the light areas.

Don't kill them all.

That's what gives
your tree character.

And then we work forward.

Work in layers, completing
the most distant thing first

and then coming forward.

See, now that one will push
everything else back.

Sneaky, huh?

And that's the way you build
depth in your painting.

And don't make them all
the same shape. Some are tall.

Some are short. Some are skinny.

Some are fat.
They're just like people.

Each one has their own
individual personality.

There we go.

OK, let's go over here
on the other side

and drop in a few
on this little tree.

We don't want him left out either.

There.

See? And when you're painting trees,

devote some time to studying
what a tree looks like.

Go out and...go out
and talk to a tree.

Make friends with it.

Spend some time looking at trees.

See what makes them...see
what makes them work.

Why do they look the way they look?

Bet you got a tree in
your front yard probably

that you've looked at
for a hundred years

and never paid any attention to.

Get your big glass of ice tea and
go out one day and sit in the yard

and just look at
how beautiful it is.

Nature's so fantastic.

Just devote a little bit of time
to studying it, looking at it.

Make friends with it.

There we go. Let's go
right up in here.

We'll put some on this tree.

But all we're touching is
the top corner of the brush.

Just the very top corner,

so you get all those beautiful
little individual things.

Be careful that you don't
let the brush slide.

If it slides,

then you're going
to be unhappy with me.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

You're just...just tapping.

But no sliding.

That's very important.

Now then, let's come
right down here,

and there's another little rascal.

Mm.

Why, he's just singing
in the sun out here.

You can just cover up
your whole canvas

with layer after layer of bushes
if you want, and that's OK.

That's a super, super
way to practise.

But let's have some fun in here.

Maybe...maybe, we will take

just some plain ol' titanium
white here on the fan brush.

Load it quite full.

Quite full. OK, let's go
right up in here.

Now then, maybe there's
snow on the ground here,

in with all these little bushes.

I want to do that
because it looks pretty.

Just begin forming the lay
of the land. See?

Very gently,

and allow it to pick up
that colour that's underneath

so it reflects right out of the sky.

And you can just...

See? Make all kinds of little
hills and valleys in here.

And very lightly just
blend it all together.

And you can push everything back,
layer after layer after layer,

just...just by blending it a little.

There we go.

Maybe over in here.

Comes right down just
wherever you want it.

It's up to you.

There we go.

Ain't that a super easy way to make
some happy little ground areas?

OK, maybe over in here.

We'll just bring this right on back.
What the heck?

We don't have to make
any big decisions yet.

Something like so.

I tell you what - if you've
painted with me before,

you know me and water.
I'm a water fanatic.

So I take a little bit of white
on the two-inch brush,

and let's say there's a little
bit of water right here.

So I'm going to touch and
just pull straight down.

Straight down.

Here I'm using a very,
very firm pressure.

Get tough with it.

Mm. Just pulling down.

Like so.

OK.

OK, and white.

See how easy it is to make water?

Be sure these lines
come straight down.

There. Add a little bit of colour.
I want this to be bright.

All right. Now then,
gently, gently go across,

just enough to give it
a sort of a sheen.

Like so.

OK.

Now then, let's come back...

..with the ol' fan brush,

and we can begin doing little
individual things here.

Watch right here.

Just that easy.

Just bring it right over.

Put a little...little
doer right there.

And maybe there's one
that lives here,

and this one comes right on out.

Just like so.

So just as many or
as few as you want,

and we can begin putting all kinds
of little things that live out here.

OK, there we go.

Tell you what - let's go over here.

And you build layer
after layer after layer.

And, once again - I know you get
tired of hearing me say it -

but that helps create
the illusion of depth,

distance in your painting.

There we are.

Now then, I want to take a little
touch of the liquid white.

Pull it out very flat.

Let me clean the knife.

Maybe we can get a close-up here

and you can see how
to load this knife.

Pull it out as flat
as you can get it

and then cut across. See?

Pull it out flat
and then cut across.

It's that easy.

OK, let's go right up here.

Now, all you do is
go right in here,

and just...we'll just cut
in a little waterline.

Just cut it in.

There we go.

Like so.

And maybe a little bit
right in there.

Isn't it super?

Now then, have to make
some big decisions.

Tell you what let's do -
let's have this come right down...

..over, mm, there.

Then we can just fill all this up.

I added a touch of the phthalo
blue right there.

I want to put some shadows in this.

So just a little tiny bit.

Then we take... Put
the white right over.

Like so.

Maybe we'll even add a little
touch of alizarin crimson.

I want some of that sky colour
to reflect through there.

All we're doing right now is
just laying in some base colour.

Now we'll come back, and
very gently, very gently,

begin laying white
right on top of that.

This is just straight
titanium white.

Just plain ol' white.

All right.

There we go. Ain't that a super way

just to drop in a happy
little snow bank?

And you can do it.

You can do it.

OK, right here.

Did you ever think you'd get
a painting this bright

off a black canvas?

You can.

You really can.

There we go.

Straighten up the edges.

All right.

Let's smooth this out
up here a little.

Put a little bit of the phthalo
blue up here, too.

Want to create a little
shadow in there.

Just a little bit
darker over in here.

Then our white.

See there? You can just
keep changing your mind

any time that you want to here.
We don't make mistakes.

We have happy accidents.

You learn to work with
anything that happens.

There we go.

Mm, that's coming right along.

Tell you what...tell you what -
let's have some fun.

This ol' round brush is so much fun.
Let's just play with it.

I'm going right into
the browns again. Just tap.

Just tap it. Maybe...

..maybe over here in this corner...

Yep, I see a great big tree.

Oh, he's a big one. He goes
clean off the canvas up here.

There you are. Just sort of
visualise these things in your mind

and drop them on the canvas.
It's your creation.

You can do anything that
you want to do here.

Anything.

We'll just come right on down here.

Like so.

Now then.

We'll take...take the fan brush and
load it full of the Van Dyke brown

and dark sienna.

We just mix them together
right on the brush.

See? Load the brush full of colour.

Both sides.

OK, let's go right up here.

Now then, let's put a happy
little tree trunk in there.

Just zo-o-o-oo...

As you pull down,

apply more pressure...

..so it gets larger and larger and
larger and larger toward the bottom.

Tell you what - maybe...maybe,
maybe, maybe, right... Yep.

Right there.

Right there. We'll put another one.

Shoot, we just got all kinds
of happy little trees.

And take the knife.

Some white and some of
that same brown colour.

I'm going to add a least little
touch of the bright red to it,

just to give it some, mm!
Sparkle it up.

About like that.

Cut off a little roll of paint.

Just a very small roll.
Let's go up here.

Now then, right along
the edges here,

I just want to put the indication
of a few highlights.

Just make that little
ol' tree stand right out.

Then we'll get this one some.
Don't want him left out.

There he is. There he is.

That easy.

And all I'm doing is
just touching the canvas.

The canvas'll pull off what it wants
and give you back what's left.

HE CHUCKLES

Just like the tax man
does every year.

There we go.

Just right on up the tree.

OK.

Now then, let's take
our ol' liner brush.

Paint thinner.

And you want this paint
to be very, very thin.

I can't say that enough.

It won't flow unless it's almost
the consistency of ink.

Right.

Let's just go right in here

and just drop in the indication

of a few happy little tree
branches here and there.

Just here and there.

Wherever you think they should be,
that's exactly where they should be.

When you do this, just relax,
kick back, enjoy.

Should make you happy.

Should make you very happy
when you paint.

Painting's one of those good things.

There.

And if painting teaches
you nothing else,

nothing else at all,
it will teach you to see.

It will teach you
to see things in nature

that you never knew existed before.

You'll become aware
of shape, of colour.

Oh, my gosh. It opens
a whole new world to you.

A whole new world.

And when you drive down the street,
you'll see...

..you'll see colour
in trees and in form.

Be careful. You'll wreck
the car sometime looking.

I get so crazy, I just don't pay
any attention to where I'm going.

And when I travel,

I carry a camera with me,

and with a camera,

then you can take pictures of things
and save it for later times

when you want to paint, then you
can come back and take ideas off

that painting that you did,
or picture that you did,

and do a beautiful painting.

I'm just taking a little bit
of the brown here

and tapping in some...just
some little indications

of some happy little leaves.

This is just the dark, so if we put
some light on, it'll show.

Just some dark colour.

OK.

I have two round brushes going here

so I don't have to go back
and forth and wash him so much.

OK, now we'll go back in here,

and we'll just...just with
a little bit of yellow,

tap on some indications
of some happy little leaves

that are living up here.

This round brush is fantastic.

You can do entire paintings with it.

You can do entire paintings.

Makes beautiful clouds,

super bushes.

There we go.

Don't overdo here.
Want to keep this quite dark.

This is more in the shadow areas.

Like so.

OK.

Now then.

With our fan brush that
has the white on it,

we can go back in here,

and let's just clean up
the foots down here

and allow a little of that
brown colour to be picked up.

There we go.

Now let's have some fun.

We'll take the fan brush
with some brown on it,

and we'll just pop in a few
little...few little grassy things

that are living down here.

Wherever you want 'em.

Maybe there's one that lives here.

Look at there.

Just wherever.

It sort of breaks up
that expanse of white.

Then with our brush
that has the white on it,

we can smooth up the edges

and sort of bring this all together.

There.

Wherever you want it to go.

I tell you what -

you know me.

I've got a couple of minutes left
here, so let's have some fun.

I think... Yep.

I think it's a big tree.

He comes way out here
and lives down here.

And by putting this tree in...

..it does two things.

It drives my director crazy,
that's the first,

but the second thing is
it pushes everything back

and gives much more perspective
to the painting.

There we go.

HE CHUCKLES

All right, back to our paint
thinner on the liner brush,

and let's put in just the indication
of a little tree trunk, too, here.

Just here and there.

Like so.

There is some.

Once again, this paint
should be as thin as ink.

Thin as ink.

If it won't flow,

then add a little bit more
of the paint thinner to it.

There.

With our knife, this little tree
needs a touch of highlight on it.

Just a little. Just enough
to make him stand out.

Just by tapping, you can fade
it right on back into nothing.

While I have that
thin paint on here,

I'm going to just drop in
a few little sticks

and twigs here and there.

Just a couple

to break that up and bring
it...bring it all together.

OK.

Let's put the indication of a happy
little leaf or two on this tree.

Don't want him to be left out.

About like so.

Just a couple.

Little bit of yellow.

And we can highlight him.

Isn't that a fantastic way, though,
to make a super little painting?

I really hope you've
enjoyed this one.

It'll give you a lot of experience
with the round brush.

A lot of fun.

And I certainly, certainly
hope you try it.

I think we'll sign that one.

Take a little bit of red.

Sign it right here.

And with that, we'll call
this painting finished.

Once again, certainly hope
you've enjoyed it.

I look forward to seeing
you next time.

Until then, happy painting,
God bless.
