Well, here we are again,
ready to go.

So, today, I think I'll do a
painting that's a

little bit different.

Maybe we'll try to do a little
covered bridge.

I've been spending a lot of time
in Indiana the last few months

and we've produced a series
here in Indiana,

so let's do a little
covered bridge.

Indiana has a lot of
covered bridges.

So let's start with a little bit of
alizarin crimson and Prussian blue.

Just mix them on the brush here.

And let's just go right up in here
and do like so.

Just put in a little
background colour.

There we are.

Not worried about shapes
or anything here,

I'm just applying some
background colour.

Something like so.
This is just a little Prussian blue

and alizarin crimson.

Now, the Prussian blue is many,
many times stronger

than the alizarin crimson,

so use very little of the blue.

OK. We'll wash the brush.

And I want to put some little trees
that are far back in the background.

OK.
Let's start with a one-inch brush

and let's just go right into some
cad yellow, some yellow ochre.

Just mix them up here a little bit

and a little tiny bit
of permanent red.

Maybe we'll have a little fall scene
here with a lot of colours in it.

OK. Now, let's just go back in here

and just begin picking out
some basic little shapes.

Just barely touching
and pulling down.

I'm going to add a tiny bit of
sap green to that.

Still a little bit of green
left back here.

OK.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's much better.
That stands out better.

We're just laying some little
basic shapes far, far back.

We're not looking for detail.

That'll come later.

Sort of vary your colours
so they stand out a little bit.

Don't kill all the little purplish
colour that you have here.

You want to retain some of that.

Just let it work down.

A little more green there.

Sap green. There.

Just something like so.

Distant, distant background.

Just, as I say,
vary the colours a little bit.

So they stand out.
There, nice yellow.

OK. Now we'll take the large brush,
and very gently

I'm just going to lift upward.

Just to soften this,
make it look further away.

There we go. That'll give us
a quick little background.

Now let's take the large brush and
we'll go right into some sap green,

a little bit of alizarin crimson
and some Van Dyke brown.

Just mix them on the brush.

Looking for a pretty dark colour
here.

And we can begin dropping in
some basic shapes.

Really push that brush into the
canvas. Make it bend.

OK, I want to be way up in here.

There we are. All kinds of
beautiful little shapes.

Just let them fall off your brush.

That's alizarin crimson, sap green
and a little bit of Van Dyke brown.

Maybe there's a nice tree here
that just sort of hangs over.

All background. So we're really not
worried about detail at this point.

There we go.

That gives us some nice,
basic background shapes.

OK.

A little bit more
right over in here.

Alrighty! Now we can start
playing with a little bit of detail.

Take a little Van Dyke brown,
a tiny bit of umber in it.

And we'll just put... we'll put a
happy little tree trunk right here.

And... like so.

Give him a little arm out here.

Most of this is going to disappear.

We're really not worried
too much about it.

Some of it will show through
the leaves when we put them on.

And we'll take a little bit of white
and add the same colour to it.

It'll make us a little highlight.

This is just white with a little bit
of brown, little bit of umber in it.

Just put some little indications
here and there.

Maybe there's a few more little
things that live back here.

Just indications.

Maybe over here... there's
a nice little tree.

Give him a little trunk, too.
Don't want him to be left out.

There we go.

OK. Now we can go in here...

..and we'll take a little bit of
cad yellow, sap green...

..and we can begin laying
some highlights on these.

Touch, push the brush upward,
make it bend a little bit.

Brush needs to bend.

Very quiet.

We don't want it to
get too bright yet.

We'll brighten it up
in the foreground.

OK. Now, drop a few
little things down in here.

A little bit of yellow ochre,
just so that one stands out.

Here I'm using the brush sideways
and making it bend upward,

just to create all these
nice little grassy things.

And we do them in layers, starting
in the back and working forward.

OK, let's move over to the other
side of the canvas here.

And we can begin putting leaves on
some of these

little trees and bushes.

There's one right there.

I'm using the brush sideways again
to create little grassy areas.

And let's go up here
to this old, big tree.

Put some beautiful
little leaves on him.

There we are.

Just drop them in.

It's your creation.

Added a tiny bit of paint thinner
to my brush there,

just to thin the paint down
so it'll stick easier.

Ooh! A lot of nice foliage here.

Give you some good practice.

Let's go right in here and drop in

a few more little bushes and stuff
that stand out.

There he is.

OK, now, maybe back here, in the
background,

maybe there's a little road.

Maybe it just goes right around
the corner, back here.

And it just comes right out,
like this.

Straight Van Dyke brown
to start with.

Got to put the dark on
so the light will show.

OK. Now we can take some
brown and white

and we'll put a touch
of blue into it.

Just a touch. Just a touch.

And then lay a little
bit of highlight on here.

The old road
that goes through the woods.

Now, with a little, tiny bit more
of the yellow and green,

I want to set that road down into
the painting.

Let some of the bushes come up
over the road.

That helps create
the illusion of distance,

like it's going
back around the corner.

We don't know where it's going.
Don't care.

Just let it go.

Alrighty!

Now, I'm going to go back into some
good, dark colour here.

Sap green, Van Dyke brown.

Maybe this time we'll even add
a little bit of Prussian blue

to it to really darken it up.

Then go right in here. We'll throw
some very, very dark colour.

Mostly green, though. Very dark.

And some on this side.

So that's Van Dyke brown, sap green,

tiny little bit of Prussian blue.

I want this to be very, very dark.

OK.

I think it's time we started playing
a little bit with the bridge.

This is where the fun starts.

And probably one of the easiest ways
for you to learn how to do

these fantastic little buildings
and bridges and stuff,

let's go in here and very gently,
let's just scrape out a basic shape.

Maybe we're looking at
a covered bridge

and we're looking right through it,
so we can see the road behind it.

So let's go right up in here

and just take and lay in
a very basic shape.

And I know this is going to... this
is going to drive you up the wall

when you start scraping out
all your beautiful painting.

And I don't want to kill all this.

I want to be able to see it
through the bridge.

So we'll just take that and try to
save quite a bit of it here.

You want to be able to
see through it.

So just scrape out
your basic shape...

..like so.

This gets rid of some of the loose,
thin paint

and makes the next layer of paint
stick much easier.

This will help you.

It's also a nice way to sort of lay
out your perspective a little bit.

OK. Now we can go right into
some Van Dyke brown

and let's go right up here and begin
building our little covered bridge.

There we go.

You know, just recently, I found
out, while I was here in Indiana,

why they built covered bridges.

I always thought it was
a place you could go

and get out of the rain
or something.

And the reason they covered
these bridges was to protect

the structure
so the weather wouldn't get to it.

It really wasn't
the reason I thought it was at all.

So I learned something.

OK, here, I'm going to just lift
upward with a little brown.

All I'm going to do is fill
all this in with the brown,

and then we can begin
working on detail.

Just fill in the entire thing
with nothing but Van Dyke brown.

There we go. Make us a nice edge.

Right down like that.

Firm that edge up.

This old bridge,
he's had a hard life.

He's not in the best of repair.

Give him a side over here.

And one here.

There we go.

Now we can just fill all this in.

That's the beauty of using
a big knife,

you can just drop things right in,
no problem.

OK. Now, we have to do this bridge
in stages.

We do the part that's furthest away
first and come forward.

So I want to be able to see
through this bridge,

so we'll do the back of it first
and then come forward.

Down here, we can just fill
all that in.

Just fill it in. A lot of brown.

There we go.

A lot of brown paint.

There. I know you're sitting
at home, saying,

"Boy, he's messed up this time."

And you may be right.

But let's just see what happens
here.

So...

..in the background, I want very,
very little light back here.

Not a great deal is going
to show back here,

just some little indications.

Don't overdo.
Just some very faint indications,

so when we put the front of
the bridge on, it'll show better.

OK. Now, let's put a little
tiny highlight here.

This is just a little brown
and white. Just a little.

A little light playing
right across there.

Don't want too much, just a little.

Now we can start working on
the front of the bridge.

I'm going to take some brown,
some Van Dyke brown, some umber

and white.

Make this look like old wood.
Don't over-mix your paint.

Leave it sort of marbly here.

So, that way, all these colours will
happen right here in your bridge.

OK. Now, let's just take
the small edge of the knife

and begin making some boards.

Maybe you can just scratch a line
right through here

if it will help you a little bit,

to give you an idea of where you
want the front of the bridge to be.

And that'll be our stopping point.

So we take the small edge of
the knife

and just start making some boards.

This one's made out of old
slab board.

Just barely touching, pulling down.

There we are.

And leave some space
in between them.

As I say, these old bridges,
some of them are in bad repair.

They've really been beat to death.

Just want to make it look like
old boards hanging here.

There we go.

Now, then...

..going to come all
the way down here.

Just put you some boards in.

That bridge has really had
a rough life.

We'll let these come
all the way down...

..like so. There we go.

Now, don't cover up all the dark,
because back in here,

we want to give the impression
that we can see in and over.

Maybe a little bit there.

Angles are very,
very important here.

Want to make it look like we can see
through this bridge.

Keep this very dark, cos
it's all in shadow here.

It's all in shadow.

Just come right on down, like so.

Put all these little nice wood
things in here.

Maybe there's a little beam
right here that we can see.

Comes right across.

OK. And now we can straighten up
this edge a little

to give a little more distance,
a little more depth in the bridge.

There we are.

This is just straight
Van Dyke brown.

Now, if you wanted to, you can
take a little bit of brown

and create some boards here.

I've just got a little tiny bit
of brown on the knife

and just touching, just to create
the illusion of wooden planks.

Look at that.

Did you ever think that an old
covered bridge would be

this easy to make?

And just let it run down...

..like so.

Now, then, I want to leave this area
right in here very, very dark

to make it look like there's a
recessed area and water down there.

Might even take and
add a little bit of brown,

right down here at the bottom.

Really, really very dark.

Very, very dark.

We can just fill the rest of the
canvas up here with

a little bit of sap green...

..like so.

And... and... and you can...

Now, we'll come right along here

and put a little bit of highlight
on the road. Just a little.

OK. Now, with a... Let's take
the little liner brush

and we'll take a little
paint thinner...

..and mix a little bit of this brown
till it's just like water.

Very, very thin.

And maybe there's some little
cattails that live right here.

So we'll just put in
some little stems...

..like so, and then
put the little cattail on there.

And we just push real hard with
the brush... and drop them in.

See how easy that is?

Just to give some little
indications.

Make it look like there's water
here without actually seeing any.

There we go.
Just a few little indications.

There's a nice one. Put a little
fuzzy thing up on here.

OK. Now, let's take
the old fan brush,

and I'm going to add a little of
the thinner to the fan brush

to make this paint
a little bit thinner.

Load up some cad yellow,
yellow ochre,

and we'll put some sap green
into it.

There we are. And now we can begin
deciding where everything's at.

Maybe there's some little grassy
areas right here that just come

right down.

Right out in the front... just
like so.

This old bridge isn't used
too much any more,

so the grass is beginning
to take the road back.

Nature has a way of
reclaiming things.

There we are.

OK. Now, let's go over here
and do basically the same thing.

Put in a few little highlights.

Leave this dark area, it'll make
it look like water back in there,

like there's a recessed area
where water could be.

This is where you sort of clean up
all the edges and bring it together.

There.

Now...

..no covered bridge painting
would be complete

unless we had a big tree in it.

So let's put a big, old tree in it.

Start with Van Dyke brown.

And maybe the big tree
lives... right about here.

Big tree. A lot of brown.

And we can just drop him right
in to your world.

So you put a tree
where you want him.

And when you're doing this at home,

don't worry about copying
exactly what I'm doing here.

These are only guides.

They're only to give you ideas
and to stir your imagination

and to show you how to make
the equipment work.

These are only guides.

Because everyone sees nature
differently.

Put your dreams on canvas.

OK. Let's give him a happy little
limb right out here.

There he goes.

And maybe, maybe... Who knows?

Maybe there's a big limb.
There it is.

Just comes right out.

Sort of shadows the bridge.

Keeps it nice and cool
in the summer.

Just recently,
I had the pleasure of doing some

demonstrations at a covered
bridge festival here in Indiana,

and I met some of the most
super people.

Fantastic people.

There we go. Just some limbs.

Now, then, we can use
a little brown and white,

and I'm going to put a touch of
permanent red in,

just to brighten it up
a tiny little bit.

And we'll come right in here

and just put some highlights
right on this big tree.

There. Just let it go...

..like so.

Now, next week, if you're going
to paint along with us,

we'll be doing a white canvas,

so have your easel set up

and a big old glass of tea
right there beside you.

I'm an iced-tea freak.
I was raised in the South,

and everybody there likes iced tea.

One habit I never got over
when I moved to Alaska.

While we've got this
brown going here,

I'm going to put a couple of
little...

Maybe there's a little fence
right here.

There.
We'll put a little post there.

Maybe there's another one
right there.

A little fence, you know.

Sometimes, maybe back in
the horse and buggy day,

maybe they'd had a little too much
to drink and they didn't go through

here too straight, so this was sort
of to guide them through, maybe.

There.

Maybe there's...

I'm going to put one more post
out here with nothing on it.

This one's already lost all of
its boards.

Then we'll add a tiny little bit
of highlight here

to make these posts look right.

There we go. Just drop it on.

Isn't that fantastic?

OK. Now, let's go up here
and put some leaves on this tree.

We'll just use the old, big brush.

I'll just use some sap green
and Van Dyke brown.

And first we'll put the dark in,
just to give us some indications.

Just some indications.

Then we'll come back and lay
some highlights on all these.

There we go. Maybe there's a few
leaves right there.

Wherever you think they should be.

Now, I'm going to use a little
bit of cad yellow

with the least little amount
of sap green,

and I want this bright enough
so it stands out.

We can go back and lay
some highlights right on here.

There. It's just going to
fall off your brush.

Just here and there.

Oh, look at that!

Sort of brings the painting
together.

The old covered bridge is
standing there

and the tree is just hanging
over it.

And when you're doing this at home,
let your imagination go.

Think of a million little scenes
that you could make

out of this basic idea.

OK. Now we can sort of clean up
the bottom

and we're on the verge of having
a finished painting here.

Put a little grass
around the bottom of this tree,

just to cover up his little foots.
Big foots.

Like so.

And I think we're about ready
to sign this one,

so I'll take a little bit of the
thin oil, a little permanent red.

And there we are.

And we'll just drop a happy little
signature in here.

And we hope you've enjoyed this
painting half as much as we have.

It's really a pleasure
being here with you

and showing you some of these
fantastic ideas.

And we hope we bring a little
happiness into your life

and give you some ideas,

and you, too, will drag out
your almighty brush

and paint along with us.

So, from all of us here, we'd like
to wish you happy painting.

God bless. See you next week.
