All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x10 - _track3_[eng]

Hello. I'm certainly glad
you could join me today.

You got your paints out, and
ready to do a fantastic painting?

Well, let's get started.

Tell you what, let's have them
graphically run all the colours

across the screen that you need
to do this painting with me.

While they're doing that,

let's go on up here and let me show
you what I've already done.

Have our standard
18 by 24 inch canvas.

This is a double primed
canvas, pre-stretched.

And on this canvas, I've completely
covered it with a thin even coat

of the liquid white,
which makes it wet and slick

and it's all ready to go.
So, let's go too.

Tell you what, let's
have some fun today.

Let's do a little winter scene.

So I'll start out with a
touch of Alizarin Crimson,

just a touch. And we'll work it
into the old two-inch brush...

..just by tapping it.

Just tap it, just like so.

OK, let's go right up here.

Now, when I paint winter scenes,
I like to have a little

bit of warmth in them.
It bothers me...

I don't like winter scenes that are
so cold that you have to

put a coat on to...

..to feel comfortable
when you look at them.

So I like to put a touch of
warmth in my winter scene.

But when you paint yours, you paint
them in any way that you want them.

Any old way.

Everybody's different and everybody
sees nature in different ways.

So you paint it the way
that makes you happy.

And, while I have that
on the brush, maybe

we'll just throw a little bit
right down in here.

I'm going to have some snow,
I think down in... Yeah.

We'll put snow down here.

And a little of that colour maybe
will reflect right into the snow.

So, just... Just lay it in.

Now then, without even
cleaning the brush,

let's go into a little
bit of Prussian Blue.

Now Prussian Blue is so strong.

It's very strong. You don't even
have to clean the brush

because it'll just absolutely eat up

the Alizarin Crimson
that's left on there.

Load a little bit of that in there.

Let's go right up in here.

And now then, let's just sort
of let the brush just dance

a little colour in here, just...

Just sort of like little "X"s,
but just let it just

sort of dance and play and...

..just have fun.

Leave little openings in your sky,
little holes in the sky.

We'll come back and we'll
put the indication of some

little, soft clouds here and there.

There. A little bit more
of the blue.

There.

See how easy that is?

Just sort of let your imagination go
and just drop these things right in,

wherever you them.

Now, be careful, right in here,

because this blue is so strong,

it'll eat up your
little pinkish colour.

It'll eat it up in a heartbeat.

And I'll just add a little bit
that same colour down here

in what's going to be snow.

As I say, we really
don't care right now.

There. Now, we can wash our brush.

WATER SLOSHES

We wash our brush in good old
odourless thinner.

Shake off the excess.

And this is the fun part.

And...
HE CHUCKLES

Just beat the devil out of it.

OK. Now with our clean, dry brush...

..go right on back up here...

..and just start blending
the sky a little bit.

There. I've probably painted in
excess of over 20, 30,000 paintings

and I still get a kick out
of cleaning the brush.

Of course, they don't hear when
they have to clean the studio up.

There we go.

All I'm doing is just
lightly blending here.

I don't want to over-blend,

I don't want to lose little
spots like this in the sky.

Those are very pretty, and
they give your sky character,

especially if you're doing
a winter scene.

BRUSH SMACKS

Now, just beat the excess
paint off that brush

and go right into
some Titanium White.

And just pull that brush right
through the white.

Just load it full.

Look at all the colour.

A lot of paint in the brush, OK?
Let's go up here.

Now...

I just want indications
of little clouds today,

so I'm not going to overdo this.

Just sort of...

..put them in.

Put them in. Just want
little indications.

This is just sort of a
misty little sky that...

..whew, you know it's cold.

You know it's cold.
It has to be.

I lived in Alaska for
a dozen years or so.

And when you saw a sky like this,
you'd be getting the old parka out

and your mukluks.

There.

Just some little
things happening here.

Just blend them together,
just like so.

OK.

Now then, I have several of each
brush going, so...

BRUSH SLAPS

Take a clean, dry, two-inch brush

and I'm just going to mix this up
and blend it a little bit.

Now, you don't want
to blend too much

or it'll go
away and leave you.

Just go away and leave
you all by yourself.

There.

There you go. OK.

And we can sort of
fluff it a little...

..like so.

And very lightly...

..very lightly, just barely
caressing the canvas,

make some long strokes to blend
it all together.

And that easy, that easy.

You have a fantastic little sky.

Let's put a bunch of evergreens
in this painting.

BRUSH SLAPS

Evergreens are a lot
of fun to paint...

..and they're quite easy.

So let's take... Let's take...

We'll use Prussian Blue.

Put some Midnight Black in there,
and some Van Dyke Brown,

shoot, some Alizarin Crimson...
Whatever.

Whatever.

Looking for dark colour, now
we'll pick up some white.

There, cos we put the Prussian Blue
in there and it's so strong,

this colour will be
predominantly blue.

Maybe I'll add a touch
more of the crimson to it.

There we go.

Still predominantly blue.

OK. And you mix up
a pretty good pile of paint.

Let me clean the knife off...

..and grab the old fan...
I tell you what.

Let me show you an easy
way to do a lot of trees.

Take the old two-inch brush and
we'll just pull it right through

a little bit of colour here.

Now, then.

The big thing here is just to
apply some colour to the canvas.

So, we'll just put... We'll just
put some colour wherever.

Once again, I don't want
to lose all that pink.

Most of it's going to go away,

but I want to save just
enough to keep it warm.

There. All we're doing is looking
for paint on the canvas.

Could really care
less what's happening.

Just tapping. Just tapping.

OK.

Now then, let me grab
my old fan brush

and we'll go right into
this colour we made.

There. Just load it full.
A lot of paint.

See there. A lot of paint, both
sides.

Let's go ahead up there.

Now then, begin picking
out individual trees.

Take the corner of the brush...

..just work back and forth, back
and forth, back and forth.

And see down here,
we don't care.

It'll all just sort
of come together.

And it saves you a lot of time.

For it's easier than painting
each tree individually.

And you can make... Shoot,
you can make a forest back here.

We could also have made these
trees with the one-inch brush,

two-inch brush...

Uh, palette knife.

Palette knife makes
beautiful trees.

There.

There we go.

See? Already we got the
beginnings of a little forest.

Little squirrel has to have
a place to live,

and he turns up here
and grabs him a pine cone.

Got to take care of the
little creatures.

There we go.

OK.

Let's just take these all
the way across wherever.

There.

As I say, squirrels got
to have a place to live.

I call squirrels tree urchins.

That's sort of my little
name for them.

I make up names for all
my little friends.

I have hundreds and hundreds of
birds that come every day.

I got to spend all my money buying
birdseed and putting out for them.

And in return, they
let me watch them, and...

..sometimes I get to get to raise
one or two little ones.

In fact, I think the last series
we showed one of the little birds

we were raising.

Maybe a little later on
in the series, we'll show...

Wait. Let's show that little
bird maybe a little later.

I'll show you what happened to him.

We had so many letters and
cards asking what happened

to the little bird
we showed. I'll...

I'll get Sally to put him
up on the screen.

We'll look at him later.

OK. That'll...

That'll...

..get us some trees.
There we go.

That easy.

Now then...
BRUSH SLAPS

..I want to create the illusion
of a little bit of mist down here.

So I'll just take a clean brush
and just tap this a little bit.

Just a little.

Just a little.

There. And lift upward.

Just lift it upward, upward,
upward, upward, upward...

OK. Now then, I want to put another
layer of trees that look like

they're closer to you.

So I'll show you how to do that.
Same colour...

..only there's no white
in this colour.

This is just pure colour.

And we can do the same thing,
the same old dark colour.

But don't kill all that mist.

You worked so hard to put it in
there, don't kill it.

See? And we'll just put in...

Just put in...

This is just base colour.
We really could care less.

Same as we did back here.

This is just a base colour.

There.

Black and blue and a little brown,
little touch of Alizarin Crimson,

all together here.

See there?

And this will save you a
tremendous amount of time.

And I'm a lazy painter, always
look for easy ways to paint.

There we go.

Now, then.

Let me wash that brush off
and get the light colour out of it.

Just wash it off.

And then, all we do is just wipe
that brush against a paper towel.

And then we go right into our dark
colour, that's blue,

with black, grab some brown,
a touch of Alizarin Crimson.

Load that brush full of paint.

OK.

Now, then...

Right along in here,
let's bring some trees

that are darker, and therefore,

they'll look like they're
closer to you.

See, there. You don't have to paint
all this bottom.

It really will save you
a lot of time,

when you have a multitude of trees
together like this.

Now if you're just doing
one tree at a time,

you wouldn't want to paint
it this way.

And I thought today we'd do a bunch
of trees, thought you'd like that.

Now, see how it's pushing those
lighter ones back?

Did you know you could push a whole
forest back that easy?

You can! You can do anything.
Anything.

At least,
on this piece of canvas, you can!

There we go.

Now, then, maybe...

Let's put two or three
tops in like that.

And then just come along

and give them some little arms,
wherever you want them.

That easy.

OK, maybe...
Ooh, there's a nice one!

Here, you've got a little more
sunlight and he's a little stronger.

Just grows right on up there.

There's one, there's one,
there's one. Wherever you want them.

Make big decisions and drop them in.

On this piece of canvas, you are the
creator, you have absolute power.

Absolute. You can make any
kind of world that you want here.

Any kind of world that you want.

That's part of the...
Get a little plug!

That's part of the Joy of Painting,

is the fact that you can
create your own world.

And painting...
Painting should make you happy.

If it doesn't make you happy,
you're doing the wrong thing.

There.

OK.

Maybe another right about...
There he is.

If you do this painting along with
me, by the time you're finished,

you will be an expert at making
evergreen trees.

No doubt. You'll have those down.

You will never again have a problem
making evergreen trees.

Now, then, I'm just going to take
a clean knife, nothing on it,

and just here and there,
just sort of pull through

and it'll make the indication...
I'm cutting right through the paint.

It'll just make it look like tree
trunks here and there.

We don't want a lot of detail,
but makes it look like little

tree trunks and there's some here
and there.

Look at that.

But can you see the amount
of distance between these,

but just by varying the colour...

It's exactly the same colour,
except back here,

there's a little white in it.

Same colour.

But it helps create that
illusion of distance and that's

so important
when you're doing paintings.

Distance in paintings are what
make...

It makes a difference
between a painting that's just so-so

and a painting that when you
look at it, it does wonderful things

to you and you get excited from
watching, and that's what it is.

It's this distance.
Depth in a painting.

There we go.

OK.

Now, we said we were going to have
some snow in this one.

So, let's take the old
two-inch brush,

just load it full of white paint.

This is just straight
old Titanium White.

A lot of paint on the brush.
A lot of paint.

OK. Now, then, let's just sort
of reach right up in here

and grab some of this. You want to
pick up some of this colour.

I'm trying to pick up
the bottom of these trees

because that's going to end up
being my shadows.

It's going to create shadows
under these trees.

And it'll happen automatically.
You don't have to worry about it.

It just... It happens.

There we go.

There we go. Isn't that super?
And it's so easy.

And you can change the angles

and make all different
planes in the painting.

And by planes... Like,
see how this one overlaps that one.

Just... Just like that.
Just grab that bottom and pull it.

Pull it hard, get tough with it.

This is where you take out
all your frustrations.

Just grab it and pull.

Look at that.

And you can sneak back in there
and grab little pieces and pull.

And you can create as many or as few
shadows as you want.

If you want indication of a few
little happy grassy areas coming

out of there, you can just lift
upward, give a little upward pull.

Makes all kinds of little things...

It sort of cleans
up your edges there.

OK.

While we get that on there,
let's just...

I think we'll have all this snow,

so we can just add white
here all over, and I'm leaving

some of these little pinks
and blues that we put in there.

Don't kill all of those.

I'm just adding a little white
here and there

and letting some of that
show through.

Now, the paint that we're applying
is extremely thick.

It's very, very thick.

And that way, we can put
layers of thinner paint right over

the top of that,
without creating any problems.

If all the layers of paint
are the same thickness,

then when you try to put one
layer on top of another,

you're going to be a mud mixer,

and then you're going to be mad at
me, so I don't want that to happen.

Tell you what, let's do it. Let's
build us a little cabin out here.

Shoot, it's cold out here!
You'd need a place to live.

Now, one of the easiest ways to make
a cabin here is to take your knife,

decide basically where you want it
and scrape out an initial shape.

Whoo, there goes our tree!

Just... But you can just grab it
and scrape it out.

This does several things.

Most important, it removes
the excess paint off the canvas.

And makes your next layer much
easier to stick, see?

But it also allows you to lay
out your cabin,

get the perspective the way you want
it, and you're not committed.

You're not committed at this point.

So, you can't make a mistake here.

If something goes wrong, you just
drop your trees right back in,

do it again.

As you know, we don't make mistakes.
We have happy accidents.

OK? There it is. Maybe...
Tell you what, let's do...

Maybe in this cabin,
let's put a chimney, so same thing.

Take...
And just scrape in the basic shape,

so you know about where that
chimney's going to be.

And we'll have it, see...
Up and over, so it'll look square.

And come down...
Sort of remember that.

If you cover it up,
you remember where it's at.

And then your roof's
going to come down. Shoot!

We might even put
a porch on this one.

We have enough time,
we'll drop one in.

Start off with Titanium White.

Pull it out very flat,
cut across and we get our little

roll of paint,
right on the edge of the knife.

Now, then. Big decision time.

See, here, let's start begin laying
snow, right out here on the roof.

Angles are very important.

Very important,
just pull that rascal down.

Now, out here, if you want to make
this edge nice and sharp,

you can come along that way, see?

And then, come back.

And smooth it out.

Sneaky, huh?

And then, just smooth it out.

Like so.

There you go.

Now, then...

That's part of our roof.

I'm going to go into a little
bit of the Van Dyke Brown,

get a little roll of paint.

And we'll do this back eave here.

And for that, we just pull it over.

Like that.

Now, we'll take a mixture
of Dark Sienna and Van Dyke Brown

and just sort of mix it a little
bit, not much,

don't overmix it,
cut off a little bit.

Once again, that roll of paint,
so important.

Now, then, let's take that
and just begin pulling down.

Remember, we have a chimney in here.

We're going to put a chimney in this
one. Remember that.

So you can sort of save a little
spot there for your chimney.

We don't this old guy that lives out
here to freeze to death.

Same colour.

Right up there.

See that?
That's all there is to it.

Now, that gives us a basic shape.

Now, then, I'm going to take some
white, a little bit of the

Titanium White, a touch of the Dark
Sienna in it, and maybe the least...

Least little touch of Bright Red,
Dark Sienna. A touch of Bright Red.

That's so strong and white.

A little more Dark Sienna.
I want that darker.

See? You make the decision.
However you want it.

There. Leave your paint like this,
don't overmix it.

Get a little roll of paint
and all those colours are right

there in that roll. Let's go up
here. Now, then.

You can touch... No pressure.

No pressure. No pressure. Pull down.

Pull down.

Let it break.
Let them holes in there...

They'll give the illusion of age.
Looks old, like me!

There.

See there?

Now, then, on the other
side of this little cabin,

I want to be much darker,
much darker.

So, same colour,
I just added brown to it.

See here? Same colour,
but it's much darker.

So there's a distinct difference.
Distinct difference.

Now, take some brown...

Let's put our little
chimney up here.

We come right up in here,
and it came down like so.

See? Slight angle.

Down, down...

Right on the cross. I tell you what,
I'm going to get my little knife.

My little knife is
so good for these little places.

And we'll go right in here and I
want this one to sort of go upward.

Upward.

See? So it gives the illusion
that this chimney is square.

A little bit right down
through there.

Most of that chimney's
inside the house. We won't see it.

I'll take some Bright Red.

Some Bright Red.

And a little bit of Van Dyke Brown
and then we'll mix it together.

Maybe these are bricks.

So, easy way to just make
indications, it's just touch

and sort of let the knife
bounce as you work down.

Blup-lup-lup-lup.

If you don't make that little
noise, it won't work!

Got to have that little noise.

Got to have it.

And maybe just a few over here, but
show the difference in angle.

That way it'll make it square.

And tell you what, right along the
top up here, maybe there's a

little snow laying up here.

There we go.

Just a touch of snow.

Clean off my knife.

And talking of...

Speaking of a touch of snow, on this
side of the roof, over here,

we need...

We need a little bit of snow on that
side of the roof. Now, then...

I said we might put a porch on this
one, so I think we're doing

all right for time, let's do it.

Take some... A little bit of brown.

And just sort of come
right out here.

I'm not using much brown,
just a little.

Cos I want a little bit of
it to show through.

Right into the white.

Bring the porch right out like that.

See there?

That easy.

That easy. Now, we need a floor.

So, same thing under
here. Bring it out.

Roughly the same angle.

Like so.

A little touch of highlight would
sneak under here, not a whole

bunch, cos it's going to be
pretty dark under there.

Pretty dark.

And then, we'll give it a little
distance. That easy.

Boy! You know what? You know what?

We need something to
hold this porch up.

So, let's just put a rail or two in
here, just like so. See there?

That easy. That easy.
Got a little rail.

And since our light's coming from
this direction, put a little

light on this.

There.

And we can put the indication of a
board or two here, just using

a dark colour.

That simple.

If you wanted a window, you
could just scrape in

a couple of windows.
Isn't that easy?

There, you could do that.

Now, then, I want to do
something a little different.

I want to go into Liquid Clear.

Liquid Clear and then right
in to Titanium White.

I use the Liquid Clear to thin
the paint just a touch.

Right, I must go up here and let's
begin adding all kinds of

little things.

This Liquid Clear makes the paint
flow, cos it's thinner now.

Flows right over there.

You can just really bring these
things right along. See there?

And when this dries, the areas that
you put this Clear in will shine.

They'll have a lustre to
them. It's very nice.

Very nice.

And maybe... Maybe right up in
here... Let's do this.

Maybe there's a little
thing right here.

Just a little brown and white.

We'll pull that out.

And make a little bump.

A little bump right there.

And maybe at one time... Maybe they
had a little snow fence up here.

You can just take a little brown.

See here? Just sort of
adds to the painting.

Put a little fence, sort
of laying over.

A little white on the
knife and just wiggle it.

Just doodle-doo-doo doo-doo.

And put some little wires on there.

Like that.

Take your fan brush and grab some
of those, create a very nice

little effect.

Now, then...

Tell you what, maybe... Right here.

Right here, just a little bush
that lives right here.

We just pop him in.

Just pop him in.

We don't want him to get left out,
so we'll put one right over here.

And all I'm doing is pushing
upward with a fan brush.

Push very firmly, push upward.

Like so. Then our brush that
has the white on it,

and a touch of the Clear, the
Liquid Clear, you can grab that and

pull it. Once again, you allow
that dark colour

to become part of the shadows.

Very desirable. Don't fight it.
Don't fight it, let it happen.

There we go. Look at that.
Isn't that super?

You know me. I'm a tree
nut. I like trees.

Let's take the old fan brush and go
right in to Van Dyke Brown,

lot of it, yep.

I'm going to have a happy
tree. Zo-o-o-om.

Lives right there. And I don't want
him to be lonely. We'll give him...

We'll give him a friend.

Just like so.

And then, we can take
our liner brush,

go into some brown.

And you just drop on a
few little limbs.

I've thinned this with thinner.
See here?

You can put on a few little limbs
wherever you want them, drop

in as many or as few as you
want in your world.

OK? Take the knife, grab a
little of the white.

Tell you what, let's make these
birch trees, just by pulling

around, you can create a happy
little birch tree.

Just give it a little round pull.

Just zip-zip-zip.

And I think with that, we about
have a finished painting.

I hope you've enjoyed this one.

I think it'll teach you a lot, show
you how to do a beautiful

little winter scene.

And I'm going to call this
painting complete.

From all of us here, happy
painting and God bless.
