All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 2x07 - _track3_[eng]

Welcome back,
awful glad you could join me today.

Today, I thought we'd do a beautiful
little scene on a black canvas

and I think you'll really enjoy it.

So I'm going to have them
graphically run

all the colours across the screen

that you need to do this
fantastic painting,

and they'll come across in the
same order that I have them

on my palette, starting with
the white and working around.

Let's go up to the canvas now.

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

of thalo blue and alizarin crimson
mixed together.

And much more crimson than blue,

I want it to be, sort of,
a purplish colour.

And I've covered the entire canvas,

then brushed it in long horizontal
and vertical strokes.

The paint is wet and it's ready
to go. So, let's take off.

We'll start with a little bit of
titanium white and let's put a,

let's put a light source
in this little painting

and maybe it's right there.

And see,
when you touch it with the white,

it begins picking up that beautiful
purplish colour that's underneath.

And all these fantastic things,
they just sort of happen.

Don't have to worry about them,
just let them happen.

And you blend out.

If this is going to be your lightest
area, then you blend out

in sort of, sort of like
a half circle.

Now, you could make this area as
light as you want it, but each time

I'd recommend you clean your brush
and start with a clean, dry brush.

HE CHUCKLES
There we go.

Start with a clean,
dry brush and clean white.

And go back to this light area
and begin blending outward.

Each time, though, once again,
I'd clean the brush

otherwise you're going to drag that
dirty colour back into the centre.

All righty.

Just keep working out
and out and out.

And it gives you a
nice super little sky

and then you can just blend out
the brush strokes.

OK, and one more time,
I'll clean the brush.

And this is just odourless
paint thinner.

Hm, OK.

Had a lady in class one time,
let her brush go

and it went clean across the room.
Blip!

OK, let's take some alizarin crimson

and thalo blue, still using purple.

And we'll just mix that up.

More crimson than blue.

Blue is many times more strong
than the crimson is.

OK. Now I'm just going to get
a small roll of paint

and let's go right up here.

Maybe there's a happy little cloud
that just sort of floats around,

and we'll just touch the canvas.

Just touch.

I'm just allowing this paint to pull
right off the knife onto the canvas.

Maybe it comes...
Wherever you want you want it to go.

Just, just happy little cloud.

Let it get a little
smaller in the background,

that way it looks like
it's further away.

With a large brush,
very lightly, very lightly...

..just blend it.

Just blend it.

And this is three hairs
and some air.

HE BANGS BRUSH

OK, now then, maybe let's put
a little highlight on this.

Take some titanium white...

..and a little bit of thalo blue
into it.

There we are.

OK,
a little bit of paint on the knife.

Now, since our light source is here,
let's just let a little light

strike right on the bottom
of some of these clouds.

Just let them happen.

Let it happen.

Here we go.

That easy.

OK.

And just lay these on the canvas.

Now, with our large brush,
very lightly, once again,

same angle, most important.

Just blend that back and forth.
And you can blend this

until it absolutely goes away
and leaves you.

So stop, it gets to be fun

and you have a tendency just to keep
going, you don't want to stop,

but get it where you want it
and leave it alone.

OK, I'll go right back into that
same purple colour

and tell you what,
let's, let's build...

..let's build a happy little
mountain and it lives right there.

Just let him go.
And I'm really pushing here,

I want to push this paint
right into the fabric.

Right into the fabric.

And maybe there's a
little bump right there.

Really, really push this
paint into the fabric.

OK. With a large brush we'll grab
that now and just pull it down.

This removes excess paint.

And also, it's a good way to sort of
lay out your general mountain shape.

These brush strokes will show up on,
especially on a black canvas.

And you can literally,
just by changing brush strokes,

you can lay out your entire mountain

and have an idea of how you want to
put the highlights and the shadows.

And just by doing that,
you can change it.

Super, super way to lay it out
and get it just right before you

ever put your first touch of paint
on the canvas.

And let's just use this thalo blue
and white,

that'll be our highlight
colour today.

Just thalo blue, titanium white.

OK, pull it out.

Get a small roll of paint right
out on the edge of the knife.

Right on the edge.

OK, let's go up to the canvas here.

Now, barely touch,

you can just follow right down the
side of the mountain.

No pressure,
allow that paint to break.

Allow it to break, just like that.
OK?

And think where the light
would strike it.

Think where it would strike.

You want those areas to have
the lightest, brightest colour.

OK, maybe, maybe...

See, and at the same time, it's
picking up some of that purple under
colour

and all these beautiful
things just happen.

You don't have to worry about them.

You don't have to worry.
There we go.

Making an almighty mountain
here today.

OK, maybe there's a
little bit right there.

Right there, maybe
it just sort of plays around,

wherever you want it to go.

Wherever.

Now, for the shadow side,
I'll just mix some purple,

that was the alizarin crimson
and thalo blue.

And a little bit, a little bit
of light colour just to make

a light purple,
and we'll use that for shadow.

OK, then.

Come right along in here and we can
drop in some happy little shadows.

OK.

Maybe it comes right down like that.

And we'll just sort of
blend these together here.

And there's nothing wrong with going
back and picking up a little

of this blue, just sort of playing
it back and forth.

Let all these beautiful
little things just sort of happen,

just fall off your knife.

There we go.

OK. Mix me up a little
more of the highlight,

that's the thalo blue and white.

Lookie there. Did you ever think
you could make a mountain that easy?

That was that effective?

And you can just keep adding more
and more detail.

It's almost unbelievable
what you can create

with just a big old knife.

And a little bit of practice,
you really need to practise.

There we go.

OK, we'll just drop a little
shadow over in here.

I could get carried away

and cover up the whole canvas
with just mountains.

Which is an excellent,
excellent way to practise.

When I was learning,
that's what I used to do.

I'd cover a whole canvas
with nothing but mountains.

And scrape them off and do it again.

And, very quickly,
you learn how to paint mountains.

OK, then we'll take a...
HE BANGS BRUSH

..just a clean dry bush, and I want
to create some mist down here.

So following these angles,
gently tap.

But always follow the angle
that you have in the mountain.

There, just gently, gently tap it.

And your brush is picking up
some of this colour

and all these beautiful
things just happen.

There. And now we lift upward, that
takes out your little tap marks.

And blends it all together, creates
beautiful, beautiful misty effect.

Just like so.

OK.

Now then, maybe, maybe, maybe

we'll mix up some more
crimson and thalo blue.

We'll just keep using some of this
purplish colour here.

OK, there. Good, dark colour,
should look black.

Should look black. And if you want
to tell exactly what your colour is,

put a little bit of white
on your palette and touch a little

of that colour to it, because
otherwise you really can't tell,

it just looks black on here.

OK, now I'm going to load
a fan brush up.

Let's go up to the canvas
and maybe there's some happy

little trees that live right here in
front of this almighty mountain.

Just touching.

Want these to be very dark

so they stand out against the
lighter colour on the mountain.

Dark against light,
light against dark continually.

Continually.

And trees grow to all different
sizes, all different shapes.

You have to make these decisions.
How do trees grow in your world?

And then let them go.

Let them go.

Let's go over here a little bit.

Right there.

And just let these trees...
Shoot, wherever you want them to go.

Maybe they just
come around across the canvas.

You can see how easy
they are just to drop in.

And you just decide how many trees
you want in your world,

put them in and don't fiddle
with them, don't worry about them.

You're the master,
you can do anything.

OK.

Now then, maybe, let's put a little
grassy area down here.

I'll go right into a little
bit of cad yellow, sap green.

We'll just use this old
big brush today,

you can do it with a fan brush,
a one-inch brush, whatever.

Maybe right here, we'll just touch.

Just barely, barely touch.

Want to make the indication of just
a little grass playing back here

with the sun shining through.

There we go.

Maybe it comes right on over.

And I'm just tapping the canvas.

Add a little yellow ochre, Indian
yellow, just break it up a little.

OK.

And as you're painting, look at your
painting, continually look at it.

Step back and look at it
and you can see all kinds of things.

Lot of times I'll start out with one
painting in mind, and by the time

I've finished,
I've totally changed my mind

and it doesn't look anything like
what I had in mind when I started.

And that's the joy of painting.

OK, fan brush. Some Van Dyke brown.

A little burnt umber,
just mix them on the brush here

and let's put in, what will
eventually end up being, some

land under here, and I'm just going
to scrub in just a little colour.

It's probably very hard to see
on your screen, but it's there.

Maybe it comes out through there.
It'll show up in a minute.

Just scrub it on.

OK, then I'll go right
into a little bit of,

let's try some yellow ochre.

And we'll drop a few little
highlights here and there.

Don't want too many.

Just a few.

OK, maybe there's...

Ah, there we go,
all kinds of nice little things.

Now, back to our large brush
and we can tap a little bit of grass

right on top of that, and it'll very
quickly bring it all together.

Maybe... I'll show you a little
trick, it's a lot of fun.

I'm going to put a small amount
of titanium white on my fan brush

and I want to make it look
like little tree trunk indications.

So grab and just very lightly,
just here and there,

just lift upward a little bit.

Just here and there,
not a lot, not a lot.

If you get more than you want,
just take a clean fan brush

and go back over, the dark colour
will come right through

and it'll make it go away.

That easy, you can make
indications of little tree trunks

and you really haven't
hardly done a thing.

OK, let's have some fun.

Let's have some water in here.

I'm going to use titanium white

and thalo blue.

I'm going to make a beautiful,
beautiful bright sparkly blue here.

There we go, pull it out very flat
and go right across

so you have a small amount of paint
right out on the end of the knife.

OK, good. Let's go right up here.

Now then, let's begin...

Oh, look at how that shows up.
Look how it shows up.

Just barely touching
the canvas here.

I want it to look like
a happy little stream

just bubbling along there.
Just having fun.

So I'm just barely, barely
stroking the canvas.

And keep these, keep the lines here
basically, basically, straight.

Because water, water's level.

It's always trying to going
somewhere where it can be level.

There we go.

Let it go. There.

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

whatever, whatever.

OK, see there? That easy. That easy.

You've got a little bit of water.

Tell you what, maybe this water,
maybe there's a stone there.

Maybe just falls right over it.

Get a little blue
and white on my brush here.

# Do-do-do-do-do. #

There we go.

Load a lot of paint
into the bristles.

OK, let's go up here.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
got to make a decision.

There it comes and choo.

See there?
Just let it fall right over.

Maybe, just right there.

Maybe, maybe, maybe...

..it comes over here
and drops this way.

This is your world,
so you have to make these decisions.

You can see that purple's
beginning to come through.

The more you rub it, the more
of the purple that's underneath

comes through.

And beautiful things happen
almost automatically.

Almost automatically.

OK, I'll add a little more
blue in there.

Mm. That's pretty.

Thalo blue is such a vibrant blue.

OK, maybe I'm going to add a little
bit more right in here,

darken that up.

And the water comes right over and
when it hits down here you're going

to get all these beautiful little
splashes that are happening.

Shoo! And it help to make sounds

so you feel the power of the water.

There.

OK, now we need to, we need to have
something in there to contain

that water,
we don't want it just to sneak out.

So I'll take a little bit of the
brown. This is just Van Dyke brown.

And maybe there's a landmass
lives right here.

Right here. Whatever.

Good.

And we'll go right into some purple.

We'll just use that
same old purple colour.

Maybe on this landmass there lives,

there lives a happy
little evergreen tree.

There he is.

Just sort of make up little
stories in your mind,

this little tree lives here
and he watches the stream all day.

Makes him happy
so he grows and gets strong.

There.

And just make up little stories
and...

..and they make you happy.

And when you make up these
little stories,

then you can visualise these
things in your mind.

There we go.

Tell you what, I'm going
to grab another fan brush

and we'll just put some trunks
and then some highlights.

I'll just use a little bit
of this blue and white

that we used in the water.

Put a few little trunk
indications here and there.

All I'm doing is touching
the canvas here. Just touch.

We're not sure
how many trees are there.

However many you want.

Sap green and some yellow.

I'm going to add the tiniest
little bit of paint thinner to that.

Let's put some brown in,
it's too bright. I want to dull it.

Oh, there we go. There we go.

Sap green, cad yellow,
a little bit of Van Dyke brown

to dull it down.

OK, we'll just put some little
indication of some leaves

here and there.
Don't want too many.

# Doo-doo-loo. #

There we go.

Little bit over there.

While I've got this going on the
brush, I'll just add some

yellow ochre and Indian yellow
and I'll just put some...

..little grassy things right there.

Right there.

This is the yellow ochre.
Make some dirt.

Want to add a little
burnt umber to that.

Yellow ochre and burnt umber...

Oh, that's pretty. That's pretty.

Good.

Now, we can take,

that's just a little blue and white,

clean up those edges.

And start bringing
all this together.

Maybe right there...

Shoot, we're having so much
fun making all these big rocks,

and this is still brown,
a little purple,

maybe there's a big old stone
that lives right there.

Right there.
And he comes right down.

There we go.

This old fan brush
makes beautiful stones.

There we go.

Now, we need,

let's have some of this
little grassy area

coming right down
on top of this stone.

Just flatten the top out
a little bit.

And, and, and...

..a little bit of umber
and yellow ochre.

A little bit of top on that stone.

Just here and there, just give
the least little indication,

pull a little bit down.

And then...

..with a clean fan brush,
we can just pull that right in.

It'll help define you stones
a little bit.

Keep this area very,
very dark. Very dark.

OK.

Now, we need something on the
other side over here.

Tell you what, let's go right
back into this purple and brown,

whatever dark colour.

And we'll put
an evergreen like this right there.

Just let him fall off your brush.

OK. There he goes.

Just right on down the canvas.

Big, big evergreen.

Big evergreen.

OK, we'll just put
a couple over here.

Cos I don't want to, I don't want to
lose all this nice mountain area.

I like that mountain.

This big, strong mountain.

OK, maybe...

..maybe right out through there.

Let's put a nice stone there. This
is just brown, little burnt umber.

We'll make another nice stone, he
lives out here.

OK.

Little tree trunk indications
right in this big tree over here.

Just some indications,
don't need too much detail.

And then some highlights.

Need some little leaves showing.

Yellow, sap green.

OK, a little bit right here.

Just like so.

A little on this tree.

And while we've got this brush
running, we'll come right down...

..there.

Put some nice little grassy
things there,

just dragging that down this hill.

And we'll make some little stones.

Add a little more
of the burnt umber. There.

And cut maybe right about here,
we'll make those decisions later.

Later, later.

OK, a little bit of grass
right down there.

Isn't that fantastic?

How easy you can make all these
beautiful little rocks.

OK, let's work on some water.

I'm still using the thalo blue
and white.

I'm going to add the least little
touch of magic white to it,

just to thin it down a little.

And let's go right in here.

And now we can begin playing...

..with all these little swirls
and churning actions.

Just sort of let your mind go.

Think how the water would hit
and splash and play.

There.

And here and there, there's little
stones under there

that cause it to go shoo!

See? Got to make those little
sounds again now.

And what started out as
a soft little stream,

it fell over the big stone here
and turned into a little bubbler.

OK.

Now then, now then, let's take...

There it is.

And bring our stones right on down.

Wherever we want them.

Put a little grass here
and there on them.

Just let them play.

Here, we're just pushing with a fan
brush to make all these happy

little grass things.

OK.

Tell you what, just looks
like the right place, let's have,

right here in the corner,
we'll cover up our nice tree,

I want a nice big tree
that lives right there.

This is Van Dyke brown.

And we need some nice little
foots on this tree,

big foot on this tree.
There we go.

He's got to be strong, stand up...

OK.

Now then, I'll take,
I'll take a little permanent red,

a little white.

Going to add a little bit of burnt
umber into that, there we go.

Now, let's put the least little
touch of highlight here and there.

Don't want a great deal,
just enough to make it shine.

Just here and there.

Then come round down his foots.

And little foots need
some highlight.

Now, on the other side I'm going to
use just a little thalo blue

and white, quite dark.

Give us an indication of reflected
light, sort of makes it stand out.

Let's put a little bit of grass
down here round his foots.

I'm sure we just about have
a finished painting here.

I want to put just an indication
of an old limb hanging out here.

And I think we'll call
this one finished.

And I really hope you've enjoyed it,
it's a lot of fun,

it's a beautiful painting.

Until next time, happy painting.
