All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 2x25 - _track3_[eng]

Hi, I'm glad to see you today.

Today, I thought we'd do
the little animated opening -

the little painting that you
see at the beginning of each show.

So, I tell you what,
let's have them put all the colours

on the screen that you need
to do this painting,

and let's go up here.

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

liquid white - it's wet, it's slick,
and it's all ready to go,

so let's go too.

I'm going to start out today with
a small amount of the Indian yellow.

Tiniest little bit,
just tapped onto the brush.

Just use a two-inch brush.

Let's go right in here.

Put a little tiny, tiny bit
of yellow

right along...right along where
you think the horizon will be.

Just drop that in.

Just use little crisscross strokes.

Maybe I'll put some down in here.
This was a little snow scene.

So we'll put some colours
down in the snow

that would be reflected
from the sky.

OK, without cleaning the brush,

I'm going to go into a small
amount of alizarin crimson.

Just a small amount.

OK. Then back up here.

Right above that yellowish colour,
the Indian yellow.

Still using little
crisscross strokes.

Just drop in a little bit
of alizarin crimson,

just sort of let them blend
together where they come together.

All right.

OK, just...

And same colour.

Just put a little bit
down over here,

in what will eventually be snow.

Looks pretty already.

OK and, without cleaning the brush,

I'm going right into
some of the midnight black.

Just a very small amount.

A little bit of phthalo blue.

The tiniest little bit.

It's a very strong colour.

Both of these colours
are very strong,

so don't get carried away
and overdo.

It is real easy
to add more colour to the sky,

but it's a son of a gun
to try and take it away.

Still using little crisscross
patterns, little Xs.

We'll just.. Just
lay in little sky shapes.

Just sort of let them happen.

Little bit more right in there.

And you can just bring...

Have some little arms
coming out here, wherever.

Wherever.

And you can put a little bit
of that colour down in here.

Just here and there.
It doesn't matter at this point.

This is really just a good
way of cleaning the brush.

Speaking of cleaning the brush,
let's do that.

Shake off the excess.

That really is the fun part.
All right, let's go up here now.

It's a clean, dry brush.

Be very sure that your brush is
as dry as you can possibly get it.

And then, still using
little crisscross strokes,

blend this entire sky together.

Very gently.

And that's how
the little sky is made.

It is a very effective little sky.
Very quick, very easy.

It's a nice little sky.

OK.

Now, then, we want some little
foothills in the background,

so to make those, I'm going right
back into the midnight black,

little bit of the blue.

I'll reach over here and pick up
a small amount of white,

titanium white.

So we have black, blue and white.

OK. I'm just tapping that brush
right into it.

Just go back up here.

Make a big decision here.
Where's your foothill live?

I think he's right there.

Use just the corner of the brush.

Touch and pull it straight down.

Lay in your basic foothill shapes.

Just sort of let them wander round.

You don't want them
to be real straight.

Foothills normally have little
high points and low points.

All kinds of happy little things
that happen in there.

Straight down.

We're not using much
pressure on the brush here.

Just enough to get
the paint to come off.

OK, now I'm going to have
two layers of foothills.

We want to create a misty area
in between each layer.

That's the only thing that separates
these layers, so with a clean,

dry, two-inch brush, I'm going
to tap the base of this.

And I'm going to strike it
quite firmly.

There we go. See that?

That creates the illusion
of mist down there.

Just by tapping.
And then very gently, lift upward.

Just lift it upward.

OK. Now, we have a beautiful
misty area right along in there.

That's what I'm looking for.

I'm going
to put another layer of foothills.

I'm going to use the same colours.

A little bit of black,
a little bit of blue.

But this time, I want it darker.

As things get closer to you
in a landscape,

as we have said before,
they need to get a little darker.

Just tap that brush in the colour
and let's go up here. Now, then.

Here we go.

We don't want to kill all that
little misty area that was in there.

That's the only thing that will
separate these two entities.

It's the only separator.

It's very important to you, that's
your good friend, don't kill it.

Don't kill it.

There we are.

See? That easy.
We have another layer of foothills.

And then we'll take a clean brush
and, once again,

I want to tap the base of it.

Just to create that illusion
of mist.

And then lift upward.

Isn't that a super way to make some
little foothills that are far away

and very soft and quiet?

And it works.

Now, then...

Now, then, let's have some fun.

I'm going to take some of
the liquid white

and put it on the palette,
and we'll get a fan brush.

Add a little bit of phthalo blue
on the brush,

and go right into the liquid white.

So it's a very thin paint.
Very thin.

Maybe reach over here and pick up
a bit more of the liquid white.

There we are.
OK, now, let's go up here.

I want to put some little indication

of some happy little...little
bushes right here.

See, all you have to do
is just touch with a fan brush

and pop upward.

Just give it a little upward pop.

Now, this paint's much thinner
than what's on there,

so it'll just come
right off your brush.

Just like so.

That easy.

There we go.
Now we can wash the old brush.

OK, now it's time to start making
some decisions back here

and we start working forward.

So I'm going right into
the titanium white.

And to that, I'm going to add the
least little touch of bright red.

Let me say that again.
The least little touch.

It's very strong.
A lot of paint on the brush.

Both sides are loaded full.
Let's go back up here.

Now, we have to start thinking
about the lay of the land.

So, just grab that and begin...

..begin pulling it.

Now we want to create the illusion
of shadows and highlights

and warm and cool spots
all through the snow back here.

There we go.

Every once in awhile,

you can pick up a little bit
of phthalo blue, a little bit,

and work it in there.

It will help create that illusion
of those little hills and bumps

and all kinds of things
happening back there.

There. There's a little
bit of pink right there.

It's super, super easy
and very effective way

of making some beautiful,
beautiful snow areas.

We can add a little bit of Indian
yellow here and there, just to...

..just to make it shine

because it will reflect
what's up here in the sky.

And you know the stories
you've heard about yellow snow!

Be careful - don't get too much of
it.

There.

There we go.

And you can turn this
into an extremely warm painting.

Sometimes winter paintings
are so cold...

..that they're not much
fun to look at.

I like to make winter scenes
that are nice and warm

and make you happy.

OK. OK, let's do something...

I'm going to mix up,
I'll take some black, and some blue,

a little bit of alizarin crimson...

Just mix it with a knife.

Add the least little touch of
white into it, titanium white.

There we go.

There. A good, dark colour.
Let me wipe the knife off here.

Now, then, we'll take the old fan
brush and load it full of paint.

Just pull it through there.
Give it a little wiggle.

There's a lot of paint
on the bristles. Let's go up here.

Maybe right back here lives...

..I think we had a happy little
evergreen that lived right there.

Take just the corner of the brush
and begin working back and forth.

I had a lady in one of my classes,
she called these Z trees,

she says because all you're doing
is going back and forth

and making little Zs.

And I think that's a good analogy.

Just work it back and forth

and you're forcing the bristles
to bend downward.

See how those bristles are bending?

And that makes all those
little hanging down things

that are under the limbs,
makes the tree look really nice.

We don't want him to get lonely.

You know I always give
my little trees a friend.

Because friends are so important.

I think they're even important to
trees.

There we go.

And that quick, we've got a couple
of happy little trees back here.

And we can take our fan brush
that had the white on it,

add a little blue to that.

Load it full. OK,
let's go back up here.

And let's put the indication that
maybe there's a little snow

hanging on there, just a little.

Don't want to kill all that dark
because it's nice and contrasty.

Helps make your little trees
stand out.

Just put the indication
of a little bit of snow there.

There we go.

OK, and maybe there's a happy
little weed that lives right there.

OK. Wash off my old fan brush.

Then we can begin going
back into our snow colours.

And then reach right up in here,
grab under there,

and sort of pull that out.

And begin working with
the lay of the land here.

Look at that.

See, now you've set the tree right
up on a little hill back there,

and that's where that
little tree would be happy.

You know, when you watch this
at the beginning of the show,

it only takes about 30 seconds
to see the whole thing.

But it takes a lot of fantastic
people a long time to animate that.

They do one frame at a time.

I couldn't believe it the first time
I saw them doing that.

Really made me appreciate
some of the magic of television.

We're very fortunate - we work with
the best crew in the country here.

There we go.

All kinds of little things
happening.

OK.

That gives us a little
background and some snow.

Let's have some fun now.

Let's go to the old round brush,

and go right into some
Van Dyke brown,

a little bit of dark sienna,

and we're just going to tap it
into the bristles.

OK. Let's build some happy little
trees, maybe. Let's go right here.

Maybe there's a little tree
that lives right here.

Little bushes and weeds,
they come right on out.

I don't know where they go.

Wherever you want them to go.
That's where they go.

And I bet... I bet...

Remember we had some on this side,
too?

Let's just drop some
right over here.

Now, I like to start at the bottom
of these trees and work upwards.

That way, the darkest colour's
at the bottom.

And it creates deeper shadows
on the base of the tree.

There we are.

All you're looking for here is just
some very basic little tree shapes.

We're not looking for
a lot of detail yet.

Detail will come later.

Right now, all we're looking for
is just some happy little shapes.

Let's put a few more in there.
I think they were a little thicker.

There we go.

Mm! That's getting pretty already.

I like these little warm winter
scenes. They do nice things in here.

They make you happy.

OK.

A little thinner on my liner brush,

and we'll just pull it through
some brown. And turn that brush.

Turn it, and pull it out. It brings
it to a very sharp point.

There, you can see it.
Let's go up here.

And in here, I'm just going to put

the indication of a few little
trunks.

Just a few here and there.
Most of them, you won't ever see.

But should they show through,
it gives the painting some detail.

And that always is nice.

Just here and there,

wherever you think
a little trunk should live

to hold up all of these...

..trees and shrubs back here.
Just drop it in.

Drop it in.

Shoot, I tell you what, let's put
some pretty colours on there.

I'm going to go right into
some of the yellows here.

Some yellow ochre, some cad yellow,
a little Indian yellow.

Just tap this brush into it, and the
least little touch of the red.

Least little touch. OK.
Let's go back up here.

Now, maybe there's
a tiny bit of highlight

just playing around
on the top of these.

Just to create a little colour.

And if you're out selling your
paintings, a lot of times people

will buy your paintings because of
the colour, more than the content.

Because they have a special
place in their house

that that colour combination
will just fit.

And warm colours
are very popular right now.

I think maybe
they're always popular.

People don't like to be cold.

Maybe, maybe. Right there.

There we go.

A little bit more of the bright red.

Let's put a happy little bush
that lives right there.

All I'm doing is tapping
with the top corner of the brush.

That's really all I'm doing.
Just barely touching.

And your paint has to be
a little bit thinner

than what's on the canvas
if you want it to stick.

The yellows I use are a little
thinner than the other colours.

That way, they stick easier.

And yellow is normally always
used as a highlight colour.

There. See?
Just layer after layer after layer.

Just layer after layer.

OK.

Now, then,
we can go back to our fan brush,

and we can begin just running right
up in here and grabbing this...

..and pulling it out.

Don't care if a little bit
of that brown colour

comes out into your snow.

That's the only thing worse
than yellow snow!

There we go. Pull it right down.

But it makes it look like shadows.

There we are.

OK.

Now, then, over here
on the other side, maybe...

..maybe we'll take some of those
same little yellows. Just tapping.

And let's put a few highlights
right on here.

You know, we all do things
we don't think about,

and sometimes we're just automatic.

And the other day,

I was doing a demonstration
for a fantastic group,

and a young man, he was probably
about ten or 12 years old,

just walked behind me and
I heard him saying out of the corner

of his mouth, as he walked
around me, he said,

"Maybe, maybe, maybe."

I could tell he'd been
watching the show.

I don't realise
I'm doing that sometimes.

But he made me aware of it.

So, he was cute and he brought in
some fantastic paintings to show me.

Then we recently did
a show in Missouri,

and I had a young lady that was four
years old bring me some paintings.

Son of a gun,
she was just fantastic.

Four years old, and already
she's a fantastic painter.

By the time she gets to my age,
you know, 22,

she's really going to be something.

If you believe I'm 22, I want
to sell you some land in Florida.

There.

OK. Tell you what let's do.

That painting had a little
cabin in it, a happy little cabin,

so let's do one of those.

I'm going to start here
with some Van Dyke brown.

Cut us off a little bit.

There, see? It's
right on the edge of that knife.

There you can see it real good.
OK, let's go up here.

Let's start with the
back eave of the cabin.

Give it a little back eave, like so.

Now, this may not be an exact
duplicate of the painting

that you see animated
because you can never go back and do

a painting that's exact, but it'll
show you how that painting was done.

And you can do your own at home.

There. See? Make the side.

Now, then, let me grab some white.

This is just straight
titanium white. Touch...

..and give him a happy little roof.

Don't want him to freeze to death.
Got to give him a roof.

There. And sometimes,

you'll find it's easier
to scrape out the basic shape.

And it helps remove some of that
loose paint that's underneath.

Put a little snow on the other side.

A little bit right down there.

Take a little bit of the
Dark Sienna and some white.

And let's put some highlights
on these boards.

Just some highlights. Mm!

Makes it look like old wood.

A little bit of brown.
Give him a door.

There.

And we can take just
the point of the knife

and create the illusion
of some old slabs here.

This cabin is made with old boards.

A little bit of blue and white.

Just put the indication of
a little window right there.

It's really hard to see,
but it's there.

OK. Now, then.

Let's go right up in here,
put a little snow

coming right down through there.

Right down.

And then you can cut this off
and put it wherever you want it.

And we'll take...

..this is a little bit
of old alizarin crimson,

and a tiny bit of phthalo blue.

Make a lavender colour.

Dark lavender colour.

Just put the indication of a little
happy little path right here.

See, he needs a little way
to get out of this cabin.

Then we can come back
with our round brush

and go back into
some of our yellows.

A touch of the red. Tap them in.
Let's just go right here.

We'll come right along here.

Just let a few little
bushes grow right

up around the edge of this cabin.

That sort of sets it
back into the painting.

And if I lived in this little cabin,

I'd want to sit back
in the bushes and trees, where

the salesmen couldn't find me -
I'd be hiding back here.

OK. Then we can take a little
bit of the titanium white.

Just sort of smooth
that out on the bottom.

OK? That easy.

Now, then, we had a little fence,

so I'm just going to dip my liner
brush right into the liquid black.

It's the easiest way
to make a little fence, see?

Just pull it down.
We just let it go right on back.

Maybe it goes right
along with the hill back here.

And there's still some old fence
things laying across there.

Let them go.

A little liquid white
and come right back

and lay a little
bit of snow on there.

See? Isn't that super?

Really gives your painting
a lot of detail.

And when you're doing this at home,
you can just get crazy

and put in all kinds
of beautiful little things.

Maybe we'll have this post
come right behind the house.

We don't know where it
goes that way.

There.

OK.

Now, then, let's go over here and
play a little bit on the other side.

I think we'll put some big bushes.

I'm tapping that same old
round brush...

I haven't cleaned it yet.

..right into the browns.
Let's go up here.

And... And we're going to have
a great big tree

right over my pretty bushes
back here.

This big tree - oh, he is a big
tree. He lives right here.

Just start thinking
about some basic shapes,

how you want your tree to look.

Look at that.

A big old tree. There he comes.

Put this dark in, so the light will
show when you put it on there.

There is a happy little bush.
This comes right on down.

That looks good already.

Now, then.

A little paint thinner.
Right into the brown.

Just really load that brush full.

OK, let's go up here. See?

And turn that brush when you're
pulling it down. Turn it.

It helps make all
kinds of old gnarly effects,

keeps your tree just from being
a future telephone pole.

Just drop all those
little things in.

Then we can take our round brush.
Right back into the yellows.

A little bit of the bright red.
Just tap it.

OK? Then we'll go right up here.

See? Just... Just put the indication
of a few little highlights.

Just some warm colours in here.

There. Add as many or as few
as you want.

Just drop them in.

Mm!

Isn't it super that you can make
all those little things that quick?

Sometimes it's fun to go right
into...

Just take a little bit of the blue
and white and mix together.

And look at that.

We'll put one in, gives it a little
bit of a cold feeling.

Maybe he's got a friend right there.

Makes it a little cold in there
with all that warm.

Just makes all kinds of beautiful
little things happen.

There we go.

There's one right there.
Have as many or as few as you want.

It's up to you.

Painting gives you freedom.

Gives you freedom.

And I think we all
are looking for that.

At least I am.

There we go.
All kinds of happy little things.

All right.

Let me lay that brush down, and then
we go back to our old fan brush.

And...

And a little colour in it.

We're just mixing between blue
and a little pink,

and then we're going
to change this plane.

In other words, I want this to go
there in a different angle,

so it looks like it's overlapping
what's back there.

Just by changing the angles here,

you can create all kinds of
fantastic illusions.

See? Just, it didn't matter -

once again, if you pick up
a little bit of that colour,

it really, really adds
to your painting.

Now let's take
a little bit of the...

..a little bit of blue and white
on the brush,

just tap in a few little
happy bushes and weeds

coming right down, like that.
There's one.

OK.

I tell you what.

As you know, I like big old trees,
so let's do a big old tree.

I'm going to go
right in to Van Dyke brown

and pick up some of the midnight
black, and just mix them together.

OK, let's go right up here.
Maybe there lives a big tree...

Oh, he does now! Does now.
Right there.

Right there. See?

A big old tree.
Must give him an arm.

Boy, he is a big tree.

And all we're doing right now is
just looking for a very basic shape.

Very basic shape, and we can take
a little bit of the browns,

this is dark sienna and white,

and let's just put the indication...

..of some nice
little highlights here.

Just here.

Just here.

Like so.

OK.
I'll get the old knife going here.

A few little fences posts we had,

I think, in that one. A bit of
white.

Like so.

I'll take the old liner brush

and we'll put the indication of a
happy little limb here and there.

And the old clock tells me
it's time to leave for this week,

so I hope you've enjoyed this,

and I hope you've enjoyed seeing
it at the beginning of each show.

Until next time, I'd like to wish
you happy painting and God bless.
