All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 2x09 - _track3_[eng]

Welcome back. I'm glad to see you
today, glad you could join me.

And today I thought we'd do
something a little bit different.

I think you'll enjoy it. But before
we start, I'm going to have them

run all the colours that you need
across your screen

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

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

And today I've started with
a canvas that's dry,

it has no magic white on it,
nothing - yet.

We'll put some on later
but we're going to start off

with a canvas that's very, very dry.

OK, now I'm going to use a large
brush and go right into

some burnt umber, and beat
a little bit into the bristles.

Just a small amount,
it's all we need.

And let's go right up in here
and I'm just going to scrub

a little bit of this burnt umber
colour right onto the canvas.

Just scrub it on.

Very, very thin coat.

Just let it go, have fun with it.

There.

OK? Now, see how easy that is?

Let's go right into
a little bit of thalo blue.

Just a small amount.
This blue is very, very strong.

And work it into the bristles,
beat that brush on there.

That way you get a nice even
distribution of colour

all the way through the bristles.

OK, now, let's go right up here and
we'll put a little bit of the blue.

Now, I didn't clean the brush so
we have blue and brown on the brush.

But the blue is so much stronger...

..you will still see blue.

There we go.

Just really work that in.
I don't want to kill all the brown.

Don't want to kill it all. There.

OK, now, I clean the brush

and we clean our brush
with odourless paint thinner.

And I really suggest that
you use odourless paint thinner

or you're going to be
working by yourself.

You'll have
everybody in the house out.

There we go,
and we beat the bristles dry.

Now, let's go back up in here.

And very lightly, very lightly,
we'll just blend all this together.

And you can probably hear the
strokes because the canvas is dry.

Usually we have a wet canvas

and the paint
and the brush just glide over it.

But today, we're using a dry canvas

so you're going to hear the strokes
a little bit more.

There. And that's a super way...

..to make a very effective
little sky very easy.

Very, very easy.

OK, now, I'm going to go
right into some titanium white

with a fan brush, and really load
a lot of paint into the bristles.

There we go. Lot of paint.

Let's go up to the canvas

and we'll put a happy little cloud
right up in here.

And maybe he lives right there.

Very little pressure.

Just let it bounce around and play.

I'm using just the corner of the
fan brush and pushing quite hard.

You want areas that are thick,
areas that are thin,

areas that have absolutely no paint.

OK. Now we can form our cloud.

You have to make a basic cloud
shape, you can't just take

and throw on paint and expect
an almighty cloud just to appear.

You need a basic shape.

OK, we'll use that
for our basic shape.

And I'll take a large brush
and I'm going to just, very lightly,

blend the bottom out.

Just blend it out.

Just want the bottom to
basically just disappear

and pick up some of the brown and
the blue that we have under there.

Don't touch the top at all yet.

Not yet - we will in a minute.

OK, there we go.

There we go, just let all these
little things just happen.

Now I'm going to fluff it.

Just lift it up, fluff it, fluff it,
fluff fit.

HE BANGS BRUSH

And I beat the brush
just to remove excess paint.

And then we'll,
very lightly, just blend it.

There we go.

And that's all there is to it.

Gives you a very effective quiet
little cloud that's far away...

..and soft.

All right, now on the bottom
of the canvas,

I'm going to cover that
with magic white.

And I'm just using
the old dirty brush

and allowing those colours to mix.

It's got a little brown,
a little blue on it,

little cloud colour, whatever,
doesn't matter.

There we go.

Now, we've completely covered
the bottom with magic white

so now the bottom's wet and slick.

And we can actually blend colour
right on the canvas.

We'll let that come
right up into the colour.

That'll create a nice misty area
when we're finished.

Mm, OK. Now we can wash our brush.

There we go.

There!
That's the most fun part of all.

That's where you take out all
your frustrations and hostilities.

OK, I'm going to get another,
another fan brush.

I have several going here

so I don't have to stop
and wash them all the time.

And I'll go into a small amount
of thalo blue,

little bit of alizarin crimson.

And I've left paint thinner
on the brush

so this paint is very, very thin.

Very thin.

Very thin.
OK, let's go right up in here.

And I'm going to drop just
some little indications far away,

barely touching the canvas.

Just want some little indications
of distant, distant trees.

Very soft, quiet, happy.

Just let them play.

Have fun.

You let these go
wherever you want them,

because, you know, when you
buy your first tube of paint,

you get that artist licence
and it says you can do anything,

anything that you want on canvas.

You have absolute power here.

So you create your world
the way you want it.

We just want to show you how to
make effects, and turn you loose.

Just turn you loose.

There.

OK, now I take the large brush,

and I want to create some mist down
here at the bottom, so gently tap.

And here it's beginning to mix
with that magic white.

And it'll get very soft.

If you were using a dry canvas here
it wouldn't mix.

Wouldn't mix,
you'd get a very harsh line.

Barely, barely hitting right here.

There. And the more mist you want,
the harder you hit it.

And you bring that colour down,
you're looking for this soft area.

OK, then very lightly,
I'll just lift upward.

Very lightly, very lightly.

Just gently, gently caress it.

There.

OK, now, now then, I'm going to
put a couple more layers

and we need to mix up some colour,

so I'm going to take some thalo
green and alizarin crimson,

about equal parts,
and we'll mix those together.

And when you're mixing paint,

pick it up off the palette
and turn it over.

Otherwise, what's against
the palette never gets mixed.

Pick it totally up, turn it over.

There.

OK. And I clean my knife.

We'll get another fan brush -

I've just got all kinds of
fan brushes going today.

Little bit of paint thinner on the
brush so the paint's quite thin.

All right, let's go right up here
and maybe right...

We've got to make a decision.

Now, see, this colour is black,
so it'll stand out.

But as it hits those other colours,

it's going to begin to dilute
a little bit

and make all kinds
of beautiful grey tones and...

Oh, just unbelievable things happen.

Let them happen, let them happen.

Don't fight with the canvas.

You know, over and over I say,
we don't make mistakes,

we have happy accidents.

And you learn to use
anything that happens.

So let it happen, let it happen,
you're depending on it.

That's what makes it so fantastic.

That's why we don't use
any patterns or tracings.

We want it to happen on the canvas.

We don't want any restrictions,
we want to just let it flow.

OK.

Now I take the large brush
and once again,

I want to tap the bottom of this,
just soften it, make it very quiet.

Very quiet.

There.

Gently, gently, gently lift upward.

And see, each layer that you put
in here creates another plane

in your painting, and creates
more of the illusion of depth

and pushes everything back.

So the more planes
that you have in a painting,

the more depth that you'll have.

Tell you what, while we've got
that colour going here,

maybe there's a tree
that lives here that, ah,

maybe he got a lot of vitamins
and really grew.

Big evergreen lives right there.

Just the corner of the brush,
back and forth.

Back and forth.

Just let him
come right out of your brush.

He lives in there, but he hides
sometimes, you have to push him out.

Just push him right out,
there he comes.

There he comes.

OK. Now we can start, and I think
I'll try a one-inch brush,

and we'll begin putting in
a bit of colour back here.

And we'll go into a small amount
of cad yellow and sap green,

and I'm going to add
a little bit of brown to that,

Van Dyke brown to it to dull it.
I don't want it too bright.

Lot of colour into the brush.

OK. Now back here, we're just going
to see how lightly we can touch.

And we're just going to touch.

And you could use
a 2.5-inch brush for this

or the one-inch brush,
whatever makes you happy.

We're just going to put
some little indications.

Don't want too much details.
It's too far away.

Too far away right now.

As we get closer,
then we'll add more detail.

But back here,
we don't want detail.

OK, I'm adding in
a little Indian yellow.

Indian yellow's a beautiful colour,
very transparent.

OK, then we'll begin
working on layers here.

Just let all these little things
happen.

Let them come off your brush.
Still not looking for detail.

Just basic little shapes
way back in the distance.

And with my large brush,
once again, once again,

I'm going to soften
the bottom of these.

I really want this painting
to be very soft, quiet.

Very gentle.

And lightly lift upward.

Create that illusion of mist again.

OK, that gives us a super,

super nice little background
that has a lot of depth in it.

You can see plane after plane
after plane.

And once again, that's what creates
the depth in your painting

and gives you good feelings in here.

OK, let's begin working on some
trees that are a little closer.

I'll go into some Van Dyke brown,
a little burnt umber.

And just mix it on the brush, mix it
on the brush, don't worry about it.

Maybe... Here I'm just tapping.

Maybe there lives a nice tree
right here.

You have to make these decisions.

Since this is your world,
you have to figure out

where these trees live, because
they live wherever you want them.

All I'm doing, all I'm doing here

is just applying
some very, very basic shapes.

We're not looking for detail.

Just general shapes.

There.

Add a little alizarin crimson
to that colour here and there,

break it up some.

So we got Van Dyke brown,
burnt umber,

a little, little alizarin crimson.

Isn't that quick?

That quick, we've got a nice...
nice, nice area to play with.

HE BANGS BRUSH

Now we'll use a large brush
and we'll go back

and we'll put some highlights
on some of these.

I'm going to add a small amount
of paint thinner to my brush.

And we'll go right into,
oh, there's some cadmium yellow,

little yellow ochre, beautiful,
a little Indian yellow

and just mix all these colours
together on a brush.

Just mix them on the brush.

We can even put a small, small
amount of permanent red in there.

That permanent red
is very, very strong.

A little sap green. And we have
layers of colour in the brush.

Layers of colour,
so many things will happen,

rather than just one
old dead colour coming out.

We're going to have all
kinds of beautiful little things

happening in there, right here...
Right here in this brush.

Let's go right up here. All we're
going to do here is just tap

and put some beautiful
little leaves here.

And I'm just using
the very corner of the brush.

Just the corner. Just touch it

and let these little things
just come right off your brush.

There, there.
And keep varying colour.

Just sort of go back and forth
and play with the colour.

Let all these little things happen.

There's one.

Wherever you want them,
that's where they live.

Let them go.

Let them go. OK, let's add
a little more of the sap green.

Tiny bit more.

Put a nice little green one
right there.

Don't want him left out.

And right there, a nice one.

See how easy these are?

These are probably
some of the simplest little bushes

there are to make.
And they work so easy.

Anybody can do them.

Anybody can do them.

But you need to build layers.
That's what creates the depth.

You need layers.

You do one bush at a time
and you have that little rascal

totally finished
before you go to the next one.

If you try to do them all at once,

they're just going to
make mud for you.

And I know sometimes, cos
we have to paint very fast on TV,

it looks like we're just
running across the room

and socking the canvas.

It's a gentle touch
and it's one bush at a time.

Just one at a time.

Don't get in too big a hurry.

Let it happen.

OK.

Now I also have several of these
2.5-inch brushes

and I'll just tap the bottom here

and create a little mist with these.

Now, don't forget these brushes
that we use are natural bristles.

They're not nylon or polyester
or any other man-made fibre.

Use natural bristle brushes.
It's very, very important.

Nylon will cut paint.

We don't want to cut it.

OK. There we go.
See how all that blends together

and makes all that beautiful
little misty area down here.

And it's that easy -
just let the brush work.

OK. Now, we need...

If we're going to put
some foreground in here,

we need a dark colour
in order that the light will show.

You need dark
in order to show light.

You put light against light,
you have nothing,

dark against dark, you have nothing.

You need light against dark,
dark against light.

That's what creates
all the beautiful illusions

and makes things stand out.
So let's go...

I'll go right into some of
this black colour that I made

and we'll put a little brown in it.
Whatever, whatever.

Just let it happen.
And we just tap in some...

Maybe it is a little hill here,
maybe it comes up... There we go.

Make a decision.
Just make a decision and go with it.

Go with it. Let it happen.
Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.
And we just quickly, quickly,

quickly drop in
some nice dark colour.

And maybe, in your world,

maybe you decide there's another
bush that lives right there.

Wherever.

Wherever. There aren't...
There are no rules.

Bushes live
wherever makes them happy!

If they're happy there,
that's where they ought to be.

Maybe this one comes down...
Whatever.

OK. I'll just cover all this up
very quickly.

A lot of dark colour.

Doesn't matter,
as long as it's dark.

As long as it's dark.

This is predominantly
a brown colour.

But if you have some lavender
left over, black, just drop it in.

Drop it in.

Just needs to be dark.

Needs to be dark.

And down here, it needs to be
darker than back here.

As things get closer to you in a
landscape, they should get darker.

There we go.

OK.

Now go back to the brush
that had the colour on it.

This is a 2.5-inch,
and very lightly here,

I'll load a little bit of colour.

And we'll come right down here

and maybe there's some happy
little grassy things that live here.

And I'm just touching, tapping.

See there how easy?

And it makes beautiful
little grassy areas.

And I use just the corner, then,
to put highlight on these...

We've decided there
was another bush living there,

so I use just
the corner of the brush.

And we'll put him
some little sparklers out there.

There we go.

There we go.

And I think we... Yeah,
we put another one over here.

So I'll add a little bit
of permanent red to my colour.

Ooh, let him just really stand out.

He is a beauty.

OK, drop in some more of these
little grassy areas,

wherever you want them.

And you make up your mind
where you think light's

going to strike them and...just tap.

You know, that's such a beautiful
little place, I'd...

I'd like to have a little house
there.

And this is my world,
so we can put anything we want.

Maybe there's a little chalet
out here. I like those.

So I use the knife sometime

and take off some of this excess
paint, and it will help you.

It will really help you if you take
off some of this thin, loose paint.

And it's also a nice way
to lay out a basic shape.

A little chalet,
the roof comes all the way down.

Carpenter didn't know when to stop,

so he just made the roof
all the way down to the ground.

So that's what we'll do.

Now, that gives you a basic shape,

allows you to lay out
your perspective a little bit

and get it like you want it.

Take some Van Dyke Brown and we'll
do this back eave back here.

Pull it straight across.

Straight across.

See? Like so.

Now, we need... Now, we need...

Let's put some paint in here

and all we're doing is just laying
in the base colour, an under colour.

We'll come back later
and highlight it and put shape in.

Right now,
we're just laying in base colour.

And if you like buildings,
in our third series,

we devoted nearly the whole series
to showing you how to make

all kinds of beautiful
little buildings.

So I think you'll enjoy.

There. Now we put the other side
of the roof on.

And straighten it up.

Wherever you want it.

And if it gets too long somewhere,
you can take your knife

and cut it off.

You have unlimited power
on this canvas.

See? You want a chalet,
we'll just...zoop, cut it off.

Now then, we need...

I tell you what,
let's take a little permanent red,

a little Van Dyke brown,
mix it together.

Permanent red, Van Dyke brown,

and I'll use the small edge
of the knife and let's put a...

Tell you what, let's put
a few little shingles on this.

Maybe they come right here.

Touch, just lift upward.

Touch...and lift,
start at the bottom and work up.

And it's just a super easy
little way

to make all kind of little shingles.

Come right on up like that.

Let them go. Wherever you want them.
Wherever.

And then we'll take
a little brown and white...

A little brown and white.

And we'll put...there.

Just pull it down.

Let that paint break.
No pressure. No pressure.

No pressure at all.

Barely touch.

And I'll go back with some
straight Van Dyke brown,

we'll lay in some shadows.

See how you can just
play this back and forth?

Create all kind of illusions.

And we need a...
We need a little door in here,

so you can have a way to
get into your house.

Just pull it across with
Van Dyke brown.

Take a little bit of colour
and go around the door.

Maybe, maybe, maybe,
in this little chalet...

Maybe there's a window
that lives right there.

There. Just Van Dyke brown.

Maybe there's one up top here.

And one there.

And we can take a little colour
and go around these.

There. See how easy that is?
And maybe there's boards...

If you want the illusion of boards,

just take the point of the knife
and cut right down through the paint

and it'll make it look like this
house is made out of little boards.

OK.

A little bit of white
and we'll put a little... There!

That'll make it stand out,
so you can see it good.

And there's our little chalet.

All finished.

OK, let's...
Let's add a little more colour here.

Get a tiny bit of paint thinner
on my brush.

Thin paint will stick to
thick paint.

And let's put a little bit of grass
coming right down through here.

There it goes.

There it comes, right down,
right down...

There it is, there it is,
there it is.

Just make these decisions,
let it happen.

Tell you what,
we need a way to get to our cabin,

chalet, up here.

Let's take a little Van Dyke brown
and let's put a... There it is.

There it is. A happy little path.
Maybe this little path comes...

There it is.

There it is.
Just sort of visualise...

Look at your painting,
make decisions, let it happen.

Let it happen.

Let it flow right out.

And we'll take a little brown
and white here and just barely,

barely, barely touch.

Let that paint break,
put a little highlight on there.

OK.

Let's go right in to some of our...
This is all the different yellows

that we're using
and a little bit of Permanent red.

Just let these things happen.

Just mix all these colours
on the brush.

There it comes, right down
through there.

See there?

Just let it happen.

Go into a little more sap green.

All those beautiful little colours.

Take your time
when you're doing this.

You can really make some
soft, soft, soft effects,

just blend them together.

Just tap.

Just tap.

OK. A little more sap green.

I want it a little darker
over here in this corner,

so that your eye goes to the back.

Now you understand why
we put all that dark under there.

It makes the lighter colour stand
out, otherwise you couldn't see it.

It would just literally disappear.

If your paint will not stick well,

add a little bit of paint thinner
to it and then it'll stick.

A little bit of paint thinner
will make it stick.

See?

And that easy, we've got all kinds
of little beautiful grassy areas.

A little bit of light right there,
make it stand out a little more.

OK.

I'm going to take a clean fan brush,
put a little bit of white on it,

and let's just go back and sort of
clean up some of these little edges.

I sort of messed them up a little.

There, just barely touch,
pull across.

The least little bit of white paint
on it.

Like so.

And...and...and...

Now, just, we can clean up
some of these little edges,

say put a little bump there,
make it a little more interesting.

Then come right up through here.

And I think that gives you
a good idea of what you can do.

It's very simple, a lot of fun,
I think you'll enjoy it.

Tell you what, let's sign this one.

I'm going to use
a little bit of paint thinner

and go right into my permanent red,
load that old liner brush up

with a lot of paint
and go right up here.

And I really, really hope
you've enjoyed this one.

I hope it's taught you
a lot of things.

Made you happy.

Stirred your imagination.

And you've got your brush out,
now ready to go alone.

So, with that, I think
we'll call this painting finished.

I look forward to seeing you
next week, and until then,

happy painting, God bless.
