All right.
Here we are, ready to go again.

Just recently, I was doing a
demonstration in a mall and I had a

man come to me and he said,

"Bob, I could never paint
because I'm colour-blind.

"All I can see is grey tones."
So I thought today we'd do a picture

in grey just to show you that
anyone can paint.

So, what I've done here, I've mixed
up a great big batch of blue

and brown, probably about one-third
blue to two-thirds brown,

to give you a rough idea
of what the mixture is here.

And all we'll use is this grey
colour and white.

I have the other
colours on my palette,

only because I was too lazy to clean
my palette before we started this.

So I've already applied some
Magic White to the canvas to help

speed things up a little bit.

So let's take the almighty brush
here and we'll take a little

bit of this grey colour out,
beat it into the bristles.

Really work it into the bristles.

And let's start with
an almighty sky here,

just let it work around and play.

Great big things happening here,
just let them

fall right out of your brush.

Keep that brush moving.
Circular patterns.

Just let it play.

We'll put a little bit more paint...
Maybe we'll come right over in here.

There we go.

Just let that work.

We'll have a light
source... right in here.

We'll have some light
coming through there.

Maybe we'll do some almighty
mountains today.

We haven't done mountains
in the past couple of weeks,

so I think it's time.

Now, we'll clean the brush.

There we are.

Shake off the excess paint thinner.

Anyway...

OK. Now,
gentle swirling motions here.

We're going to begin blending
the sky together.

Very gentle.

Just let it work.

Let it play.

Let these little things just
fall around, fly around, have fun.

There.

And just begin pulling them
like this,

just to give an indication of light
slipping through there.

There we go.

Now, we'll work on this one
a little.

Just let that brush
continually go in circles.

That's probably the biggest
suggestion

I can give you that will help you.
Let it continually go in circles,

otherwise it'll look
like it's raining up.

We don't want that to happen.

OK. Now, we're just gently blending
it together a little.

OK. Now, I'll take the fan brush
and I'm going to take a little

bit of this grey colour on the fan
brush. Very, very little colour.

Very little colour.
And let's put a few little happy

clouds in here
that are a little bit more distinct.

And that'll push
everything else back.

Once again, circular pattern.

Always try to do this
in little circles.

There we go.

And just let these little clouds
float around the sky.

Now we'll take the big brush
and very gently

blend out the back of it.

There we go.
We'll fluff it up a little bit

and then we blend it together.

Maybe a little more grey,

and we'll put another little cloud
just right in here.

There we are.

Just let him float around now.

Fluff him up.

Blend him in.

OK.

That gives us a pretty nice
little sky.

And I thought today we'd do
some fantastic mountains.

Everybody enjoys mountains.

So let's start here and we'll just
use the same grey mixture,

this blue and brown,
and let's go right over here

and drop in a fantastic big
old mountain.

Oh, there he comes.

Just let him wander. There.

Very little paint.
We take off all the excess paint.

Scrape that canvas hard.

All you want to remain on there
is the value,

what's been pushed into the canvas.

Now, with the large brush,
we'll pull that down.

There we go.

Already, we begin to have a
basic mountain shape.

OK.

All righty. Now we'll highlight
that mountain here.

I'll take some white...
Just Titanium White.

Let's have our light
coming from the right,

so we'll put a little highlight...

oh, maybe right there.

There we go.

Maybe a little touch right
up in here somewhere.

And then the light's going to
strike right along this edge.

There. Now for the shadow colours,
since we have nothing else,

we'll just take a little grey
and white to make it a little bit

darker than what
we have up there for the highlight.

A little lighter than the darkest
colour on there.

So somewhere in between.

Now, very gently,
we begin pulling shadows in here.

Follow the contour of the mountain.

Choo!

There you go.

There it comes. Just let that old
paint break as it pulls down there.

OK.

A little bit over here.

I think we've mentioned this before,
but you need to have a very,

very firm paint to do this.

If you have a thin, oily paint,

you're really going to
get into some problem areas,

cos you'll become a mud mixer.

You need a paint that's strong,
firm, dry.

OK, we'll give this one a little
shadow right there,

so he stands out as an individual.

OK.

Just bring this one down.

Let your imagination just
wander around

when you're doing these things.

Now, with a clean, dry brush,

we'll just lay some
mist down here by tapping.

Just tap the bottom of it.

Over here,
follow these angles and tap.

Then, lift upward.

Always following the angles that
you built into your mountains.

Mountains are so simple,
they're hard.

OK, that gives us
a nice quick little basic mountain.

Let's put one on the other side.

Might as well have some
good practice here.

Let's come right up here...
Oh, well! Almighty mountain.

There he comes.

Just let him
wander right on down here in front.

This one, I want to be a little
darker in value than the one

I have behind, so it looks closer.

So I'm applying a little more colour
than I did on the first one.

OK, and we'll blend this one down.

But I'm not blending it as much,
once again...

There we go.

All right,
clean the paint off the brush here.

BANGING AND RATTLING

I probably just bought a studio!
OK...

Now we'll put some
snow on this mountain.

Touch,
follow the contour of the mountain.

There we go.

Mountains used to really
give me a fit

when I was a traditional painter.

Oh, I'd spend weeks sometimes
working with a little brush,

trying to make all these things
happen.

There.

Ain't that fantastic?

You can make whole
mountains in minutes.

And you can do it.

There's no big secret to it.

All you need is
a dream in your heart.

And an almighty knife.

OK. Now, make a little more
of the shadow colour.

And we'll throw some
shadows in here, move right along.

Maybe a touch darker. There we go.
That's what we're looking for.

We'll put a little shadow
right in there.

A little shadow here.

Ah, there's one. There he is.

There.

There we go.

See how easy it is to give
dimension to these mountains?

It's all a game of angles.

Just a game of angles.

Mountains are geometric shapes.

Play with the angles.

OK. Maybe we'll bring this down
just a touch further here.

OK.

Now, we'll gently tap on these
a little, just to diffuse them.

Don't want to destroy, just diffuse.

There we go.
While I've got this brush dirty, I

think we'll put some water in here.
Maybe we'll have water in this one.

There we go.

Just pull from the outside in.
Try to keep these lines level,

so your water doesn't look like
it's running off the canvas

and you have to tie
a bucket on one end to catch it!

There we are.

OK.

RATTLES BRUSH

Since I own the studio,

I can do that now!

I'm going to use the one-inch brush

and I'm just going to
gently lift up.

This is just a clean brush.
Just lift up,

make it look like little things way
back in the distance back here.

Far, far away.

There we go.

Just lifting upward,
little short strokes.

Don't let the strokes get too large.

There we... All right.

Just here and there.

And maybe, maybe, maybe...

Maybe there's some little
evergreens back here.

I'm going to make some
with the fan brush

and maybe we'll make some with
the palette knife today.

That's a little bit different.
All right.

Let's just drop a little evergreen
right here and I'm using

a colour that's very, very close
to the background mountains,

so they look far, far away.

Give him a friend.

We forget the trees get lonely too.

If you make trees
that in your mind are a little bit

closer to you, allow them
to get a little darker.

A little bit darker.

And maybe there's one...
There he is.

Right there.

Now, he's closer,
so we want him darker.

There we go.

And we'll lay some colour
right there.

And we just gently lift up,

just to make all kind of little
things happen.

Since this is a wet on wet
technique, you can move the paint.

It'll slide.

The Magic White underneath makes
it wet and slick.

And it'll just slide and move

and all you have to do is
learn to control it a little.

OK.

TAPS BRUSH

Dig-dig.

Now, let's take... Put a little
bit of reflection into the water.

I've taken a little
bit of the tree colour

and I'm just going to
gently pull down.

Straight down. Most important
that they come straight down.

And maybe we'll make
an uneven one here,

so all kind of little
things can happen.

After you've pulled it down,
very gently go across.

Just enough to give it
a watery feel.

It's easy to destroy.

And look at that, already.

Let's take a little bit
of the Magic White,

mixed with a little
bit of Firm White.

I want a paint that's a little bit
thinner. There we go.

Now, cut through it.

Let's put some happy little water
lines back here.

Now, watch right in here.
We'll create a little cove.

Just that easy.

But all these lines need to be
basically straight,

or once again, your water will run
right out of the painting.

OK. We'll just let him
run right on around the corner here.

Just like so.

OK.

Let's make some happy little
evergreen trees.

I promised today we'd make them
a little bit different than

we have in the past.

We'll make them with the almighty
palette knife here.

OK, decide basically where you want
a tree. Right there.

Now, we're going to take just
a tiny bit of paint,

right on the point of the knife,
and touch.

And we just begin touching.

We're not trying to draw
with this knife.

All we're doing is laying
paint on the canvas.

We touch the canvas,
the canvas takes what it wants,

gives you back what's left.

OK, just let this tree work right
out of your knife here.

And we're still using nothing
but the blue and the Van Dyke Brown.

Prussian Blue, Van Dyke Brown.

And there's a little tree.

Maybe...
Maybe right there's another one.

I just want to do enough of these
to show you how to do them.

And when you
do your painting at home,

you determine how many trees
live in your forest.

There we go.

See there?

A lot of paint, though.

And what's really nice,
when this painting dries,

these trees are very thick,
you can feel the texture.

All right.

Maybe over here... Maybe a great
big tree. Maybe one that...

Maybe he's tired.

Like that.

Once you do that, you're committed,

so you've got to put
a tree there now.

OK, so there we go.

A lot of paint.

OK.

And hum along as you paint,
just let it flow off your knife.

♪ La-la-la... ♪

And all that kind of good stuff.

OK.

A lot of paint. A lot of paint.

Thick trees. Strong, almighty trees.

We'll give him a little trunk
indication just by cutting through.

Right over here.

Up here. Just a little indication.

Maybe some little stems here
and there.

OK.

Now,
if we want to highlight these trees,

maybe lay a little
bit of snow on them,

we need a shadow side
and a highlight side, so I'll just

use the same basic shadow colours
I used on the mountain.

Maybe a little touch darker,
there we go.

All right.

Now, very gently,
very gently, just touch,

so the paint grabs on those
high points.

Just barely touch, like so.

Put the shadow in first.

Let's go over here.

Here it comes. Barely touch.

There it is.

OK, now for the other side,

maybe there's some snow
laying on these trees.

We take a little bit of the white,
Titanium White...

..and very gently, once again,

just a little, let it touch,
catch the high points, you don't

want to kill all that
beautiful dark colour.

OK. Let's do it over here.

A little tiny bit.

OK. There we go.

Like so.

Now, while we've got this dark
paint going here,

let's just lay a little bit
right under here. OK.

There.

Now, we'll take a one-inch brush...

..and back
to one of our golden rules -

it takes dark in order
to show light.

So, we'll take a dark colour on the
one-inch brush here and we'll throw

in some little bushes. These are
just the shadows for the bushes.

Something like so.

And over here,
maybe some bigger trees.

Always try to remember to do the
thing that's farthest away first,

like in my mind,
this tree's behind these bushes,

so you need to do him first.

And then, come forward.

OK, now that we have dark, we can
begin worrying about the light.

Let's pull this down right here

and turn it into a happy
little reflection.

Zip. That easy.

OK.

Now, we use a one-inch brush
with a little Magic White

and a little Firm White,
mixed together.

We're looking for a paint
that's slightly thinner than

what's on the canvas already,
so it'll stick.

Maybe a touch more Magic.

There we are.

OK.

Now, push off all these beautiful
little leaves. Just let them hit.

Sparkle in the sun.

And at the same time, you can
reflect them right into the water.

That easy.

There comes one, right here.

There.

There they are.
Look at the little rascals.

Isn't that unreal, that you can
do that in such a quick...

..quick stroke?

Now, very gently, whisper light...

Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo...

Don't want to destroy,
just want to diffuse a little.

And that's how we make mirror
reflections.

OK. Now, let's take a little bit
of the white

and put some snow
down here on the ground.

Ooh! There we are.

OK.

A little of the thin white and make
a little water line underneath it.

OK, there we are.

All right.

OK, now we can take him... Just cut
a few little sticks here and there.

Just like so.

There we are.

OK, now we've got to worry
about the other side. That one's...

That one's looking good.

A little more of the thin white,
mixed with the thicker white,

so it'll stick.

And we'll put some happy little
bushes right along here.

Look at them little rascals
sparkle in the sun.

This is a cold painting,
the blue in it makes it so cold.

Mm!

OK, we'll put a few little stems
and leaves.

You know, this reminds me
of my home in Alaska,

we see a lot of scenes like this.

And I've always wanted to live in a
beautiful mountain range like this.

So, let's build a house.
We've got to have a house.

We'll make the back eave
of the house first.

Just like so.

Then we'll make the other
side of the house...

..with just white.
Let it run right down the canvas.

There he is.

Just like so.

And a little more of the dark
colour to fill him in in the front.

And let a little bit of that white
get on your knife,

just to give it a little...
little tonal values here and there.

That side should be good and dark.

Let's give him a door.
He needs a door.

HE WHISTLES

There we go.

A little touch of the Magic White
to outline it.

Maybe this is an old slab cabin,
so we can put some boards in here.

And we need some snow on the other
side of the roof.

Can't have just one side with snow
on it. We need snow on both sides.

There.

OK.

Now we need some snow on the ground.

So we just touch... And snow is a
game of angles, like mountains are.

It's most important that
you follow the lay of the land

when you're laying your snow in.

Just let it go in the direction
the land flows.

There we are.

And let's push this little house
back up into the bushes

a little more. I'll take a little
of the dark colour

and we'll put a happy little
bush right here.

And then, some of the light colour.

And just throw
some highlights on that bush.

Like so.

And maybe a little bush
lives right there.

There we go.

Super.

All right.

Maybe just to play a little here,

just throw a little tree
right up through here.

There.

OK.

We'll put a little highlight on him.

Tchoo-tchoo-tchoo.

I'm going to use the liner brush
and some thin oil

and I'll thin
some of this down a little.

Throw some happy little limbs out
here on this tree.

Just let them run along.

Wherever you think they ought to be.

Shoo!

And you can use paint thinner
to thin this paint down.

I prefer oil because it's slicker.
It moves easier.

There we go.
And maybe one more... right there.

And we just let him go.

A few little sticks
down here at the bottom.

And I think we just
about have a finished picture.

A little bit of oil here.

We're going to sign him in red,
we're going to cheat!

And we'll throw a little signature
on there.

This is a fantastic painting
because it uses only grey and white.

I'd like to show you
a variation of this

and it uses only Burnt Umber
and white.

So maybe we can get the camera
to swing over to that

and we'll take a look at it

and show you what you can do
with other colours.

And there's really no limit
to what colour.

Any colour will work,
as long as you use the basic method.

So, on behalf of all of us here,
you have a super day.
