All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 2x08 - _track3_[eng]

Welcome back.
I'm awful glad to see you today.

Today, let's do something that's
bright and shiny

that'll put you in a good mood
and do nice things

in your heart, here.

So, I'm going to have them
graphically run all the colours

across the screen that we'll use to
do the painting today

and they'll come across your screen
in the same order

that I have them on my palette,

starting with the white
and coming around.

And, while they're doing that,
let's get started.

I've already covered the canvas with
a thin, even coat of Magic White

and we're ready to go.

Today, I'm going to start with a
little tiny bit of Indian yellow.

We'll just put a little bit on our
two-and-a-half-inch brush.

Let's go right up here in the sky.

We'll start making little Xs.

Little, tiny Xs.

You don't need much colour.

And it blends with the Magic White.

It gets lighter in value as you
blend outward.

OK, let's take some of it
right down.

It's a beautiful, beautiful
colour...

..and it's very transparent.

Indian yellow is
a transparent yellow.

OK.

Now then, without washing the brush,

I'm going to take and go right into
a small amount

of alizarin crimson.

Without washing the brush.

And we'll go right above that.

Let's put in a little bit of
crimson.

A nice, little pinkish colour.

Little more paint.

And blend it very well.

You want it to blend together so you
can't tell where one colour stops

and the next one starts.

Now I'm going to go into a little
bit of crimson

and a little bit of Prussian blue,

very small amount of Prussian blue.

It's a hundred times stronger than
your crimson.

And just brush mix it.

Prussian blue, alizarin crimson,

but very, very small amount
of the blue.

OK?

Now, right here...

..we'll put a little
lavender colour.

It just all blends together.

And then I'll go right into
Prussian blue.

And we'll fill up the remainder of
the sky with Prussian blue.

Now, I haven't washed the brush all
the way through this.

All the way through.

But you don't want to get the blue
and the yellow mixed together.

If you do, you'll have
a bright green sky

and chances are you won't be happy
with that!

There we go.

Now, while I've got
the old dirty brush,

I'm going to go back into a little
crimson and blue...

..and maybe come right down here
and lay in a little lavender colour.

Add a little bit of water here.

I am an absolute fanatic for water,
I love it.

If it were up to me, every painting
I did would have water in it.

But, sometimes, you have to do
something which doesn't have water.

There we go.

Don't want to lose all the yellow,
so we'll just do that for right now.

Now, clean the brush.

We clean our brushes with odourless
paint thinner.

There's a screen in the bottom of
this bucket

that I scrub the brush against

and we shake out the excess
paint thinner.

And then the fun.

Ploop-ploop!

You just beat the devil out
of that brush,

take out all your hostilities.

Now, with a clean, dry brush,
I'm going to blend this sky together

and you can spend some time
blending this.

You want it to really, really blend
together beautifully.

You don't want to be able to tell
where one colour stops

and the next one starts.

Just blend it together.

And you can do this several times if
necessary.

Step back, take a look see.

It really pays to step away from the
painting sometimes

and take a look at it.

Get a whole different view.

OK, and then I'll just bring this
all the way across.

Now that we have a clean brush,
I'll just bring it right across.

And, that easy, we have sky
and water already finished.

OK.

Now, then, let's build us
a little mountain up here.

I like mountains.

My home's in Alaska and we have
a lot of mountains in Alaska.

Some of the most beautiful mountains
in the world.

So, I'll take Prussian blue
and alizarin crimson.

Now, you need much more crimson
than blue.

Once again, the blue
is a hundred times stronger.

And I want to dull that,

so I'm going to reach in here
and put a small amount

of Van Dyke brown into it.

So, crimson...

..Prussian blue and Van Dyke brown.

But I want it to have a purple-ish
cast,

so I'm using more crimson
than I normally would.

Now, if you want to test that,
see what colour it really is,

take a little white...

..and then take a little of
your colour and put into it.

That's really the only way
you can tell,

otherwise it just looks black in
here. OK?

That gives us a pretty good colour.

Let us take a little bit
on the fan brush.

We'll use the fan brush today,
make us a mountain.

Loaded brush, full of paint.

Pull it through there, wiggle it,

both sides, and then sharpen it.

Look at the amount of paint in the
bristles.

That's what we're looking for, OK?
Let's go up here.

Maybe the little mountain lives
right here?

You have to make this decision.

Maybe...maybe...

.. right about there.

Now, we're using just the corner of
the brush.

Wherever you want it to go.

Give it some little wiggles and
jiggles and...

Aw, just make all kinds of beautiful
little things, maybe.

There's a bump.
Wherever you want it.

Use just the corner of the brush,
it's all you need.

And you're not applying a great deal
of paint, just a little.

Maybe it comes down and there's
a bump there, wherever.

Wherever.

There we go.

Now, we'll take our large brush...

..and pull that.

That removes excess paint and blends
it out.

And, if you can see the entire
mountain,

it should be more distinct at the
top than it is at the bottom.

So, this happens automatically,

cos this mixes with the colour
underneath

and the Magic White automatically.

It gets lighter in value as it goes
towards the horizon.

See there?

You don't have to worry about it.

The brush and the canvas,
they do it for you.

And you've got a basic mountain
shape already.

Now then...

Just take another fan brush.

I have several here,
so I don't have to spend

a lot of time cleaning them.

OK, we'll load it full
of titanium white

and, to that, I'm going to reach
right down here

and grab a little bit
of permanent red.

Small amount, small amount.

Don't want to set it on fire. Load
a lot of paint into the bristles.

A lot of paint, OK?

Let's go right up here.

Now, you have to make some decisions
with this mountain.

Which one of these peaks
is the farthest away?

You want to do the one that's
farthest away first

and work forward.

So maybe I'll start over here.

I'm just going to touch and wiggle
it, just wiggle it.

Just let all these little things
happen.

Very gently.

Very gently.

Here comes one, there it is, there
it is.

And it moves around, goes right down
there like that.

Wherever you want it to go.

There.

OK? Oh, here we are, there it is.

I see it.

Just visualise these things
in your mind and...

..put them on the canvas.

It's all there is.

Just let it go.

OK? Now, normally we put highlights
on the mountain with a knife.

Today, I want to show you that...

..you can use your little fan brush

and just make all kinds of
beautiful effects.

Just let them go.

Wherever you want this to go.

Make it as wide or as small as you
want it.

Maybe there's a little light
showing, right there.

Maybe even a little back here?
Wherever.

Now I'm going to take a little
Prussian blue

and mix right into my white...

..to make a shadow colour.
We need a shadow colour.

There we go.

Now, let's go back up here.

Once again, figure out which one
of these is farthest away

and do it first.
Do the one in the back first.

See? Now we've done that one, now
let's take a little paint.

Come right down through here and we
come directly through that.

Pushes that one right into the
background.

That easy!

Did you know you had that much
power?

You can move mountains.

You can do anything.

There we go.

Now, each little highlight here
needs its own private shadow.

So, you just, sort of, look at what
you laid in here

and begin working with it.

Don't want to kill all your darks.

Maybe there's a little
shadow...right there?

And a little shadow lives right
behind that highlight.

Barely, barely touching the canvas.

Super, super easy little way to make
very effective distant mountains.

OK, maybe just a little white in
there.

Wherever you want it.

And maybe you want to pull
this out...

..and on down.

You can take these mountains
anywhere you want to go.

If you're not careful, you'll get
to where you like this

and you'll cover up your entire
canvas with just mountains.

Which is wonderful. It teaches you
how to make mountains.

That's the way I used to practise.

I would cover an entire canvas
with mountains

and scrape it off, do it again.

Over and over and over.

And that's the way you learn,
by repetition,

doing things over and over.

OK? Now, let's take a clean,
dry brush

and I want to create a little mist,
here.

So, we'll tap this. Just gently,
gently, gently tap.

Follow the angles in your mountain.

And then lift upward.

Very light.

Three hairs and some air.

Barely, barely touch it.

Very soft.

Following those angles,
most important.

While we're here, we tap in this
direction and lift up.

Very softly.

It's easy to destroy but we just
want to diffuse.

OK. Now, then...

..we can start playing
a little bit, here.

We'll take...
This is our...

..lavender colour that we made,
purple-ish colour.

Same thing this mountain's
made out of.

I want to add a little bit more of
the blue into it.

Get a little bit more blue hue.
"Blue hue". That's hard to say.

OK? Let's go back up here.

And maybe there's a few little...

..tree lines running down the side
of this mountain?

Touch, using just a corner of
the brush, and lift upward.

These are far, far away.
We don't want detail yet.

Far, far away.

But you have to follow the angles
that are in the mountain.

If you don't...

..it's not going to look right and
you're going to be unhappy with me.

And I want you to be happy.

It's what painting's all about.

It does nice things to your heart.

There we go. Just make it look like
the tree line running up the side.

Far, far away.

This is another way of creating
distance in your painting.

And then we'll take a clean, dry,
one-inch brush

and very lightly, VERY lightly...

..whisper-like...

..begin lifting up and allowing that
to mix with under-colour.

So it softens it. You want it to be
very soft and very distant.

Quiet.

There we go. See?

Ain't that a super way to make
little, distant tree lines?

And you don't have to do hardly
a thing.

Just lay a little colour on, lift it
up, and you're in business.

Painting is not only fun,
it can be easy.

All you need to do is learn
a few little basic rules...

..and go crazy.

OK.

Now we can get in here
and let's get some...

..some more good dark colour.

Let's just keep using the fan brush.
We've used it so much today.

Maybe...maybe...

There it is.

Make a decision, drop it in.

Had to think a minute, drop it in.

Just, sort of, look at your painting
and visualise

all these beautiful little things.

Let them happen, let them happen.

You know, probably one of the
hardest things

is not how to paint
but what to paint.

That's what drives most of us crazy.

Just sitting around trying to
figure out what to paint.

I carry...I carry a camera with me,
everywhere I go, nearly.

And, with that camera, if I see
something that excites me,

I take a picture of it and save it

cos you can capture a second in time
and save it till you want to use it.

And, from that, you can make
beautiful paintings.

And we'll give you the technique
here.

You take what you see, cos everybody
sees nature differently.

And you paint beautiful paintings...

..and they'll make you happy.

OK, I'm just pulling a little bit
of this lavender colour down.

Now, if you want to make this look
like it goes back here,

let this reflection be shorter
than over here

and it'll give the impression
that it's round, like that,

and goes way back. Sneaky, huh?

OK, now, very lightly come across.

Super light.

Super, super light, just enough
to...

..give it a watery appearance
and then leave it alone.

It's very, very easy to overwork
it...

..overwork it and we don't want
to do that.

OK? Now, then, let's put...let's put
some highlights back in here

and I'm going to take a little bit
of permanent red,

permanent red...

..here and we'll mix it with a...a
little bit of yellow,

this is cad yellow.

Nice, bright colour.

Little Indian yellow thrown
in there.

We'll make us a beautiful,
beautiful, bright, bright...

..colour, here.

This is almost an orangey colour.

If you want to dull it, you could
put a little bit of brown into it.

That'll dull it right down.

OK, let's go right up here

and I'm going to use just
the fan brush still.

And I just want to tip.
Just tip it, here and there.

Add some nice little highlights,
not too many.

There we go.

OK, little more paint on my brush,
then we'll go up here.

Don't overdo these, don't want to
kill all your darks.

Just want some impressions.

Just like so.

And begin making all kinds of
different things here.

This is where you can change...

..the number of projections that
you have out into the water.

And all you have to do is grab them,
pull some down,

make a little reflection, go across.

All righty, all righty.

I'm going to take a little bit of
the Magic White

and put a little of that lavender
colour into the Magic White.

Very flat, very flat.

Pull it as flat you can get it.

And then cut across it, OK?

That'll give you a small roll
of paint, a little line of paint

right on the blade,

then we're going to push right into
the canvas

just like we're trying to cut a hole
through it.

And lay in some nice little
waterlines back here.

Keep these lines basically straight.

You can go anywhere you want to go.

But they need to be straight to keep
your water in the painting.

There.

Little bit over here.

And, already, you can see how it's
starting to build depth

into the painting, makes it look
far, far away.

So many of the fast painting
techniques are very flat.

We spend a lot of time and energy
trying to make these paintings

have tremendous depth.

OK.

Going back to my purple.

That's crimson and...and
Prussian blue.

Let's put a happy little tree
right there.

Touch, use a corner of the brush...

..and give it some little arms.
That easy.

That easy. Give him a friend.

Just drop him in. Just corner of the
brush,

use the same corner of the brush
all the way through.

Maybe...maybe some bigger trees live
right there?

Touch.

Now, look how that colour stands out
against that yellow back here.

It's exciting, the contrast,
it really stands out.

OK, maybe we'll give him a little
friend here.

There's another one. We'll just make
a little...

..forest. No, they call it a stand,
not a forest.

It's called a stand of pine.

Get the correct terminology here.

There we go.

And maybe...

I like to have a little tree
that's leaning over.

Maybe a big old deer stepped on him
when he was little,

put a little hurt on him.

There.

OK. Now...

We'll drop in some more foliage
right here.

See how you can just keep building
and building and building,

creating more and more depth
in your painting?

Now, while I've got that on my
brush, we can put in some...

..general reflections.

Then we take our large brush
and grab those reflections.

Then pull downward, very gently.
Very, very gently.

And come across.

That easy.

OK.

Let's put some trees
on the other side.

These trees are so much fun.

Maybe there's one...right there.

Touch the corner of the brush.

Now, a one-inch brush will work
very well for this,

or the two-and-a-half inch brush.

A lot of times I use the one-inch
or the two-and-a-half-inch brush.

Today, this painting has got so much
fan brush work in it,

I just decided we do them
with a fan brush.

You can do entire paintings just
with a fan brush.

And they are beautiful.

OK, maybe right there.

Wherever you want them.

Every so often,
pile your paint back up.

You need a pile of paint
to work from,

so you can load the brush deep.

There we go.

And if you find your paint's
not sticking well,

add a little paint thinner.

That'll thin it down,
makes it stick better.

And we'll just very quickly drop in
a happy little thing right here.

Maybe there's another...there it is.

Wherever you want it.

Wherever you want it,
that's where it is.

A little tree.

Like so.

Let's use the old big brush.

Let's get, right in here,
some Prussian blue

and some crimson.

OK, let's...let's go.

Let us drop in some colour
right here.

And I want a reflection under here,
so I'll just pull a reflection.

Choo-choo-choo,
that's all there is to it.

Come across.

And we'll bring this...

There we are.

Get it right down in there.

Right down in there.

OK, time to put some highlights
on some of this.

On these evergreens up here,

I'm just going to put the least
little touch, here and there.

This is that same orangey colour.

Don't want too much. I want this to
be almost a silhouette.

And here.

A few little highlights,

a few little grassy things growing
up and down here.

I like it. OK.

Now, I'm going to take a little bit
of Prussian blue...

..and white...

..and a little, tiny bit of crimson
in it.

Mostly blue and white
and a little crimson.

Let's go right up here and we'll put
a little bit of land in here.

There we go.

And we'll get that on the knife and
just drop a little bit

right in there.

Just like so, wherever you want it.

Like so.

Maybe there's a...there's some.

Just...just make decisions
and drop it in.

Got to make the decisions.

Then we'll take some yellow
and some permanent red.

And let's do these trees over here.

Tiniest little bit.

Don't want a great deal of
highlight,

try to keep them silhouetted.

There.

And let's just drop some...a few
little highlights here and there.

Let them come down into this land
area, just let them come...

..right on down.

And the one-inch brush would work
very well

for putting all these
little highlights on.

Since I got the fan brush going,
we'll just use that.

And it's a super, super
little painting.

Should give you a lot of ideas and
set your imagination on fire.

And you can do this in any colour
combination.

OK, let me get the knife, here,

and let's take a little bit of a...

This is the Magic White
with the purple in it.

We'll drop in some little
water lines.

Just like so.

Just barely, barely touching.

Some over here.

Magic White with a little bit
of the purple colour.

And, while I've got that
on the knife,

maybe we'll make a few indications

of just little tree trunks
here and there,

where you can...

..just...

Looks like little trunks.

Don't want a great deal of detail,
just...

..little indications here. We don't
know how many trees are there.

And we don't really care.

Hm, OK.

I think we just about have
a completed painting there.

And it's something
that I think you'll enjoy.

Try it at home.

Take a little thin oil and I'll...

..sign this one.

Signature's not going to show up
very well against all this red

but it's here.

I hope you've enjoyed this painting.

Certainly a pleasure being here with
you today.

And, from all of us here,

we'd like to wish each and every one
of you...

..happy painting, God bless
and I'll see you next week.
