Well, here we are,
ready to go again.

You have your brush set up
and the almighty easel ready?

Let's do it.

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

so it's wet and ready to go.

So let's start out today with
a little bit of Phthalo Blue.

Just take a little bit on your brush
and beat it into the bristles

so you get a nice even distribution
of colour.

And we'll start right up here
at the top.

Just making our little crisscross
strokes. Little Xs.

There we are.

Now, let it blend downward. Just do
it in layers, working downward.

Automatically, your brush is
picking up the magic white

and it gets lighter in value as it
goes down toward the horizon.

There. Most of the sky is
going to disappear.

I think we'll do a bubbling little
stream today.

A lot of little trees
in the background

and just see what happens.

OK.
Now we can gently blend that out.

And we're ready to go!

So let's just take the big brush

and we'll go right into some
Van Dyke brown,

little bit of sap green.

Just use a big brush, don't be
afraid of it because it's big.

So brown and sap green,
maybe a little crimson.

We'll throw a little alizarin
crimson in there, too.

Now, let's go right up here
to the canvas

and figure out where we're going to
have some almighty trees and stuff.

All we do is touch, bend the
bristles. Bend the bristles.

Turn the brush in the direction
you want the leaves to go in,

the limbs to lay there.

And all we're looking for now is
just some basic background shapes.

OK. We'll put a little more colour
in the brush here.

Just drop these in.

All you're looking for, basically,
is a mass of dark colour

so our light colour will stand
out on top of it.

OK. Maybe there's one that
lives right here.

Just sort of let your imagination
take you one place to another.

Don't worry about it.
These are just background trees.

Now, while we have the brush dirty,
we can just go right in here

and fill in some of this area.

This is mostly Van Dyke brown.

Just using the same old dirty brush.

A little green, a lot of brown.

And if we're going to have
a little stream coming through here,

begin working on the lay
of the land.

Let these come down in angles,
like so.

So it creates a depression here,
so the water will sit in it.

There. We've got this painting half
done already!

OK? Get a little bit more
right over here.

Once again, all we're doing is
laying in some nice base colour.

Not worried about detail yet.

OK.
Now, let's take the fan brush

and just load it
full of Van Dyke brown.

Little bit of umber.

This is burnt umber,
little burnt umber,

Van Dyke brown on both
sides of the brush.

And I'm going to take and just pull
one side of the brush through white.

So we have brown on one side,
white on the other.

And we'll go up here and we touch
the canvas

and just pull straight down

and make us
some indications of tree trunks.

And by double loading the brush,
we have the highlight

and the shadow in one stroke.

Brown, a little white.

And these are your trees. So you can
decide how many trunks are in here.

Whatever makes you happy.

OK. Let's go, maybe there's a little
trunk right in here.

Just enough that'll show through.

There's one.

OK. Maybe there's one over here.
He's got sort of a crook in him.

All tree trunks aren't straight,
so sometimes, make some of them

with little crooks in them.

There we go.

Now, we can start putting some
highlights on these trees.

And we'll use the one-inch brush.

Little bit of magic white to thin
the paint. Use some cad yellow.

And sap green.

Cad yellow and sap green.

And just mix colour on your brush.

That way, you have a multitude
of colours on your brush,

rather than just one flat,
dead colour.

There we go.

Now, let's just go right up in here

and begin applying some highlights,
go slightly above the dark

and just bend the bristles.

Put some leaves
on some of these trees back here.

Just let them fall
right off your brush.

Then we take a little
bit of the yellow ochre down.

Let's start putting some bright
little colours in here.

Maybe this one, right here.

There we go.

There.

Just let those leaves just fall
right on the tree.

I've added a small,
small amount of permanent red.

Maybe we'll get something in here

that's a little bit brighter than
the orangey colours.

OK.

A little yellow. Added right to
that.

We can come right back up here
and do this nice little tree.

This little tree really is pretty.

Has a very nice little shape to it.

Little bit over here.

There we go. And that gives us
some nice background trees.

And I'm going to take a little
more of the sap green

and use the brush sideways.
Touch, push, bend upward.

Just make it bend upward.

And we'll put some little bushes

and stuff way back in the
background.

Not looking for a great deal
of detail yet.

And, as we come forward,
then we'll worry about detail.

Right now, we just want to fill up
some of this area

with a little colour.

There.

And when you start these paintings,

all you need to have in your mind
is a time of year,

and the time of day and just
sort of let them happen.

Let them happen.

Don't spend a lot of time worrying
about what you're going to paint.

Just start painting. It'll happen
and you can see it on the canvas.

OK. We'll put some highlights on
the big tree here.

We'll just use some green.

There we go. A little sap green.

Maybe we'll make it
a little bit darker.

Add a little bit more green to it.
There we go.

That's what we're looking for.

Just some indications back here.

We're not worried about
a great deal of detail.

OK. That gives us
something to work with back there.

And maybe, if we're going to have a
little stream that's

flowing down through here, maybe
we need to start putting some rocks

and stuff to sort of
contain the stream

and keep it inside of its
boundaries.

So we'll just use some Van Dyke
brown. Little bit of umber in it.

Van Dyke brown,
a touch of burnt umber.

And just, sort of, touch the canvas

and let the paint just glide
right off the knife.

You're just barely touching.

You want the paint to break
like this.

And hopefully, by the time
we're finished here,

this'll look like little rocks.

Just touch and just sort of follow
the lay of the land once again.

You want to keep
the water down in a recessed area.

And we're not too worried
about shapes and stuff right now.

Add a little bit right over in here.

Right now, we're just worried
about putting the under colour in.

Then we'll come back
and begin highlighting.

There we go. We need
the dark in order to show light.

OK.

Now, we'll make a little
highlight to put on these.

Little strokes that are going to
end up being rocks.

So, we'll take some Van Dyke brown,

white,

and a touch of Prussian blue,
just a touch. Blue is so strong.

And sort of make
a little greyish colour.

There.

And leave your paint marbled,
don't overwork it,

leave it so you can see colours
swirling in it.

Now, very gently,

just barely touch the canvas,

just so it grabs the high points.

Just barely, barely touching.

Don't want to overdo.

You could very easily kill
all your dark colour that you worked

so hard to put in there.

And you don't want to hurt that.

We need the dark.

We're just making
the bottom of the streambed here.

Following the lay of the land.

So, so important.

OK. Now we can take the fan brush,

little bit of yellow.

Sap green.

And we can get over here in the
ochre, a little bit too.

Just mix all these
colours on your brush.

Just let them,
just let them mix on the brush

and let's go way
back into the background, back here.

And begin putting
some little grassy areas,

maybe there's a little meadow
back here.

Quiet, beautiful little place
that you'd like to go sit

and listen to the stream bubble.

I think streams make such beautiful
sounds.

There we go.

Now...

..I'm going
to take a little magic white

and mix it with the titanium white.

I just want to thin this paint
down a little bit.

Once again, our golden rule,
a thin paint will stick to a thick

paint so I'm thinning it,
just a tiny,

tiny bit here, and we'll begin
putting in some water

for our little stream.

And maybe the little stream
comes from right there.

And it just sort of comes
right over, like so.

And right in here, maybe there's
a little, oh, there it went,

just fell right over!

Just let it drop.
Just let it drop off.

See how easy that is?

Then it hits down here, and there'd
be a little splash down in here.

And when you're doing this at home,

try both sides of your fan brush.

You'll find that one side
of the fan brush bends better than

the other side.

OK. Little more of the magic white
to keep the paint good and thin.

Just barely touching here.

Barely, barely touching.

Maybe it falls again, right there.

Your stream, you can go anywhere you
want it to go.

Maybe it goes both ways!

Touch.

Made a little splash when it hits.

Maybe, there, looka there.
There's another one!

There's another one.

It's just going every which way.

A little more of the magic white.

OK.

Now, even though this is going to be
covered up

with little foaming things,

there's still a reflection in the
water, even if you can't see it.

It still picks up
the colour from up here.

So I'm going to take a little
bit of the Prussian blue,

a little Van Dyke brown, just a
little blue. Blue is so, so strong.

And right in here, let's drop
in some little reflections.

Just like so.

Just a touch. Pull straight down.

It's most important that you
pull straight down.

You want your reflections, even if
they're under the water here,

to look natural, so pull them
straight down.

There we go.

Now, very gently,

just like we're making still water,

we need that dark colour
underneath so our water shows up.

Now, we can go back
into the titanium white,

thinned with a little magic white.

And maybe, right there,
there's another little drop-off.

Maybe these just sort of
come around.

Just let your imagination go crazy!

Don't worry about it.

We don't make mistakes.
We have happy accidents!

You learn to work with anything that
happens, very, very rapidly.

That's what's
so fantastic about this technique.

You don't have to worry
about mistakes or accidents.

We don't have them!

It's very easy to repair anything
that happens, to fix it,

to change it. You can change your
mind right in midstream.

There we go.

Just some little actions out
here on the water.

Now, let's go back to our brush that
has the green on it, and the yellow.

And a little yellow ochre.

Once again, just use your brush to
mix these colours so you have a

multitude of colour
happening on the brush.

And we can begin working with our
little grassy area some more.

And that's why you didn't have
to worry in here

when you were putting in all
the rocks. Anything you don't want,

you just cover it up with a little
bit of grassy area!

Very soft,
quiet, little grassy places.

Nice place to go lay and read a book
or something.

Look at the birds.

Talk to the little bunny rabbits.

OK. Maybe, now, we need to close up
this side, so it's contained,

so we start right up here.

Just push that right up
over the water.

There.

Now it's contained, you don't
know where it's coming from.

But you don't
have to worry about it any more.

Now we can drop some more little
things right in there.

Just sort of close all this in.

Now, by loading the brush with
several colours, if you load

the light colour first, go into the
yellow first and load it very deep,

and then your other colours, try to
keep them on the tip of the brush.

Then when you're painting along
and if you want just a regular

colour, you just push,
if you want a bright colour,

you push very hard and you can
get a nice bright colour.

OK?

There we are.

Well, we're going to have to

figure out what we're
going to do here pretty soon.

Maybe, maybe,

this comes down here.
This gets more brown.

Maybe it comes right down through
here like it, oh, looka here,

that's what it does,
it comes right across, like this.

Maybe there's a, maybe there's a
big old stone lives right here.

Maybe this comes down...

..right through there.

This is just Van Dyke brown with a
little bit of burnt umber in it.

Little bit of burnt umber. Not much.

And then we can just
sort of fill this in.

There we go.

And we're really not worried
about anything right here.

Just, just drop it in.

Let it happen.

OK.

We'll just throw a little
bit of colour all over here too.

This is just the dark,
so our light will show up.

OK. Now we can go in here.

Just get a little
more of our highlight colour.

That was some Van Dyke brown, white,
a touch of Prussian blue.

Just to make a nice grey colour.

And let's put a little highlight
right out here on this little rock.

There we go.
Just a little highlight.

Just bring 'em right on down.

OK.

Now...

..follow the lay of the land.

I know you're tired of hearing me
say that, but it's so, so important.

OK. That gives us
a nice little rocky area here.

Go back to our fan brush and some
of the yellow ochre, cad yellow.

Little sap green

and just begin dropping in some
little grassy areas here.

You don't want to cover up all these
nice rocks that you've made.

Just some of them,
leave some of them showing.

Just like so.

There we are.

OK. Now, let's go over to the other
side here

and we can bring all this together.

There we are.

If you find that your paint
will not stick,

add a little magic white
or a little paint thinner to it,

something to thin it down.

The thin paint will stick very
easily to the firm paint.

But you got to start with
that firm paint.

OK.

Now, a little more magic white
and titanium white.

And maybe, maybe this little stream
here comes right over,

bloop, and falls right over there.

Just let it fall.

Splashes a little bit.

And here it goes again.

It's just wandering all over
the woods.

Maybe it comes out this way.

Wherever you want it to go.

Just have a little... Looks like a
little bitty waterfall right there.

OK.

Now we'll take just a clean knife,

and we just scratch a few little
trunks and sticks here and there.

Just here and there.

Wherever you think
there might be one.

And let's put
a couple of little trees in.

Going to start off here with just
plain Van Dyke brown.

And maybe, maybe there's a little
tree that lives right here.

Maybe he's a crooked little tree.

There he goes!

All we're looking for here
is just a basic shape.

Maybe there's another limb that
comes off

wherever you want it, right there.

Or maybe, maybe there's one that
hangs out over the water

a little bit.

Just let it go.

Give him a little foot here,
to stand on.

Maybe there's a limb,
right up through here.

OK. Put a few little limbs here
and there.

Then we can put some leaves on it.

There.

Now, if you have trouble making this
knife work, you can

do this with a liner brush.

All you have to do is thin the paint
down with a little thinner

or light oil.

And it'll work fine.

OK.

There's his little foots!

Now let's take a little bit of

burnt umber,
touch of Van Dyke brown.

Little bit of white, tiny little
bit of white, just to brighten it

up a little bit, and then let's just
go along here and begin touching.

Just to put...

Just to put a little bit
of highlight on this tree.

There.

Wherever you think the light would
strike this trunk.

While we're in the tree business,
maybe we need one on the other side?

Maybe over here.

Maybe a little bit closer to us,
maybe there's a much bigger tree.

There he is.

Just straight Van Dyke brown
to start with.

We'll give him a little root
that just goes right down,

follows the lay of the land also.

Quite a bit of paint here.
I want this tree to be very thick.

Then, we'll come right up
through here.

Give him a nice limb.

And trees grow
however makes them happy.

So there's really,

really no absolutely correct
way to make a tree.

Depends on the individual tree,
depends on your mood a lot,

how do you feel today?

Does this tree have a lot of limbs?
Few limbs.

Just let your imagination go.

I see another one, right there.

And maybe, maybe there's one that
comes from back here somewhere.

And just sort of wanders off...

..like that.

Put a few little leaves,
limbs here and there.

There we go.

Now, let's take a little
bit of the highlight colour.

I'm going to add a little,
tiny bit of blue to that,

so we have some blue,

white,

little bit of burnt umber.

This tree's a little older.
He's tired.

And we just touch.

Just touch.

This is a nice, little grey colour
we're using for a highlight, here.

And when this tree dries,
you can feel this,

his bark will be raised.
It's quite heavy, quite thick.

There we go. Oh!

That's a good-looking
old tree, there!

Now...

..we'll take a little bit of,
we just mix it on the brush here,

a little bit of sap green,
some Van Dyke brown.

A little Prussian blue.

We need a good, dark colour.

And we can
begin laying some leaves on here.

And we just put these in at random.

Just sort of
look at your basic shape.

There we are.

OK.

Just basic shape.

There we are.

OK.

And sometimes there's, maybe there's
some leaves growing down in here.

Don't want to kill
all the background.

We'll put just a few out here.

You need the dark in order for
the light to show. There we are.

OK.

Just drop your leaves in.

We need the dark back here
so the light'll show.

This one hangs right over
the stream.

Might be the place to sit,
right under that tree

and watch the stream, listen to it.

OK.

Now, we can take,
I'm going to use cad yellow,

little, tiny bit of green and I want
quite a bright colour here

so it stands out.

So, a lot of paint in the bristles.

And go slightly above the dark

and begin laying in your little
leaves here.

Just drop them in
wherever you think they'll be.

There.

Painting doesn't have to be
a mystery,

it doesn't have to be hard.

All you need to do is learn
the basic technique

and practise a little bit.

There.

A few little bright leaves
right out here.

There we go. A few right in there.

We just about got this little
tree done.

Now...

..let's get into a tiny little
bit of ochre,

and sap green.

Want a little different colour
than I have on the other one.

So they stand apart
a little better.

Then we can go right along in here
and drop it in.

Looka there.

Just drop those leaves in
that quick.

No big deal.

Just enjoy.

Don't kill all the dark areas,

we really want to save
some of these nice dark areas.

Little bit right in here.

Just like so.

Maybe a little grass down here
at his foots,

just to cover up the foots.

And I think we've just about got
a finished painting there.

So, on behalf of all of us here,
I'd like to wish you happy painting.

God bless,
we'll see you next week.
