- Hi welcome back, certainly glad you could join us today.

I thought today we'd just do a little seascape

that I think you're gonna enjoy.

Let's start out and have them

run all the colors across the screen

that you need to paint along with us

and while they're doing that let

me show you what I've got done

Today I have a smaller canvas than usual

because I wanted one that's rectangular

and quite long so I have a 12 inch by 24 inch canvas

you use any size that you'd like

I just sorta like this for seascapes.

And I've covered the entire canvas

with a very thin coat of liquid

white and liquid clear mixed together

just a little of each, about half and half,

and I've just covered it but once

again a very thin coat.

So let's just start out and have some fun.

Let's start with a little two inch brush

and go into a small amount of the pthalo blue

just tap a little into the bristles.

Notice we pull the paint out very flat

so we can just pick up a little bit of it,

you go up here into this big pile

you gonna get too much, just a little,

we just want a little and we tap it

into the bristles that helps assure

a even nice distribution of color all

the way through it, okay let's go up in here.

Now then, just making little x's

little crisscross strokes, let's just

put in a happy little sky, just something like so.

All the way across, there.

About like that, it doesn't much

matter wherever you want it

that's exactly where it should be.

So we'll come down to about there, alright.

And, that's about enough, right there.

Okay, and then we get to wash the brush, already.

As you know that's my favorite

part of the whole painting procedure,

is just washing the brush, and you shake it off.

(laughs)

We just create one big mess, that's fun, it really is.

I'm gonna go right into titanium white,

I'm just tapping the brush right

into just straight titanium white.

I'll put the indication here, some little

floater clouds that just live here.

Isn't life wonderful, there we go.

We have such a good time making these shows here.

We've been making television here

at the same studio now for well over 10 years

and these people have become very

special friends to me, it's like coming home.

There we are, something about like that.

And then we'll just sorta fluff 'em up a little bit.

and go across and that'll give us

a little cloud way back in the distance.

And, hey man, let me find my knife,

we'll take a little alizarin crimson

a little pthalo blue, mix it together

I want to make a lavender color

but sorta to the reddish side, there we are.

Okay wipe off the old knife and shoot

that brush isn't too dirty maybe

we can continue to use it and

I'll just go right over that color

and maybe we have some indications

of some little, little lavender clouds

that are right at the water line and

we can just throw in some happy little things.

Wherever you wan them, wherever, wherever,

it doesn't matter, something about like that

There, we just let them maybe just float right

on out to nothing over there, oop,

there's a big one that happens sometimes.

There we go and right on out.

Then we'll fluff it, lift it, blend it, like that

and that'll give us the indication

of some little clouds that live far, far away.

And that's all we're looking for right now,

just indications, there, alright, that simple.

Isn't that a fantastic way of making a very

colorful little sky that's effective.

Alright, we get to wash the brush again.

Shake off that paint thinner (laughs)

Just cover everybody in the studio.

Alright, you can blend that a little if you want to,

but we're not gonna spend much time

on the sky I want to work more on the water today.

Let's take, we'll go right into some pthalo blue

i like pthalo blue, a little bit of black,

just mix them together and be right back

I'm gonna get a little crimson,

so we have pthalo blue, black, and crimson.

There and let's figure out basically here

maybe, let's see where we want

our water line to be, I know that's

probably not real straight, there.

When you're painting it's better

to sort of step back and take a look see

sometimes when you're standing as close

as I am here it's very hard to tell

if a line is straight, crooked, or in between,

but let's say that's halfway straight, there.

Now, I added a little more crimson

right here on the edges, I want a little

more crimson right there, something

about like that maybe on both sides.

In your world you decide, now,

you're probably wondering why I put

the liquid clear with the liquid white

because when I did this I didn't

want it to turn light blue, I wanted it

to stay quite dark and if I had put

liquid white only on there, as you know,

it would have got much lighter

in value and I don't want that.

I want it to stay quite dark, it makes it easier.

There, alright, and we'll just

bring that down to somewhere

in there it doesn't matter, you make

the big decisions where all these

things live in your world, there we go.

Okay, let me just grab another brush

so I don't have to waste all my time

just cleaning and I'm gonna pick

up some of that lavender color that we made,

that was alizarin crimson and a little bit of the

pthalo blue mixed together, maybe right

in here, ooh isn't that a pretty color.

We'll just add a little bit of that.

Thought we'd just do a little seascape

today that's very colorful and I

have a confession to make, people are

always asking me where do you get ideas

for your paintings and I was over

in Lucerna Beach the other day

that my partner and that shop,

she's got a little shop over there

and she was teaching this painting

to some of her students and I just

fell in love with it and I asked her

for permission to show it to you on the program.

So Annette, thanks, I owe you one.

There we go and I probably won't do

near as good a job on it as she does

but this is basically the way she does it

So we'll try it, wash the brush again.

If nothing else we'll get a lot of

practice washing the brush, okay.

We're ready, let's find, oh we'll just

use a little fan brush it doesn't matter.

One of the things I like to do

when I do seascapes is figure out

where my major wave is gonna be

and then just take, you can use a Filbert,

it doesn't matter, fan brush whatever

and I just want to basically indicate

in here where I think the major wave is gonna live

and in my world I think it's gonna

go right out through here and maybe crash over

right there, maybe it'll just disappear, how's that?

Nice simple little painting, there we are.

Okay, now, back into my white,

still using the same little fan brush

and maybe back in here, going straight

in and just giving it a wiggle,

maybe there's a little splasher

that lives back here in the background somewhere,

straight in and just make it wiggle up and down.

And that's all there is to it.

Something about like that.

And we can put the indication here and there

and there and here, just some little

doers that live back here far away.

There we are, a little more of the white.

Strengthen that one a little, yeah,

it's a little closer, right, okay,

something about like so.

Annette does a lot of gorgeous paintings

I think her most fantastic thing

is flowers, she does some of the

most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen.

I'm gonna get her on the show here

one day sooner or later and get

her to paint a flower for you.

I think you'll be amazed, I'm not

a very good flower painter but

she is dynamite, dynamite, we'll talk her into it.

I'm gonna take a little yellow ochre and a little white,

a little yellow ochre and white, like that.

Just make me a nice little, sort of a gold color

and let's go up in here, this is going

to be our little wave, let's put a little,

a little bit of that color right in here.

Like so, something like that, now,

we'll get a little blender brush,

and just begin blending that, blend it, blend it, blend it.

Now you can do this several times

to achieve a desired likeness if you want to,

up to you, you decide, you decide,

where ever you want it but see that

blender brush just makes it soft as silk.

Just so tender, so soft, there we go,

something about like that, okay.

Now if you wanted to make it a little brighter

we'll just do it, let me just pick a little

of that same color, same color,

and maybe right in here we'll have it a little brighter.

And just sort of smoosh it in as Steve says.

I don't know if that's a word or not

but he uses it, everybody knows what he means.

Three we go, something about like that.

Alright, and begin thinking about shape here.

Okay, now then, let's take, I have several

little fan, I'm using number three

fan brushes today but it doesn't matter

you can use three or six, whatever you have.

Take a little dark color, this is just

some black and some blue, a little crimson in it

and let's take and I wanna make

this wave sort of crash over right here.

Now the only way to make that dark

right there stand out, we're gonna put

a little light right behind it.

And I want to lay that in first,

get an idea where it's at, go back

to my fan brush that has some of

the lighter color in it and let's come right behind it,

and then gently blend that back

thinking about how the wave goes up.

Just need a little light area in there

to make that rascal show up.

See here it come, here it comes, watch.

This is one of the nicest little seascapes

and it works very well, very well.

There, now then.

Okay I'll show you a little trick here.

Take a little bit of dark color on the filbert

about like so, and we go up in here,

and see this little wave right here,

this little crasher, we push right up into there

and just form it, that easy,

that easy, isn't it neat?

That's a little trick Annette showed me

and it works very well, see now,

it just makes a nice dark bottom

and it works that easy, same thing over in here.

Put a little dark right in there,

then we'll come back and put a little light

and some foam on there and that will show up so nice.

So nice and we can put our foam in

I'll tell you what, we can just use a little filbert

or you can use a fan brush it doesn't matter,

I picked up a filbert so we'll use it.

And let's go in here and think

about some happy little splashes

living right up here on top of this

like so, now I picked up some blue

and I'm gonna let that be the shadow

as we come up in here.

Okay now wipe off the brush,

pick up a little bit of clean white,

and we can highlight that,

just think about water crashing,

and smashing and having a good time up in here.

There, alright.

i like to paint water, don't do it a lot,

but I do like to paint it, I was

born in Daytona Beach Florida,

which is one of the most fantastic beaches in the world.

Now then let's take our little

script liner brush, take a little light blue,

we'll use a little white, paint thinner,

got a little bit of color on the brush

and we can go up in here and we can

being putting all kinds of little doers

that live up in here, just begin applying them.

Let these little foam patterns just work their way on out

wherever you want them to go

right up on top of that wave,

okay a little more of the dark color

I want to put a little dark edge right there,

just so it will make that stand right out,

let that little rascal crash over,

some little things coming through there,

just take your time and play with these they're a lot of fun

you can really just move the water every which way.

Okay, let's take the little knife,

this is the small knife, I've got some white,

it's got a small, small amount of blue,

just enough to tint it, cut off a little roll of paint

and swoop in here and maybe right in here,

and we're gonna use a lot of pressure

get in here and just (grunts)

maybe there's a , see there,

really applying a lot of pressure though,

there it goes back somewhere, we don't know where it goes.

We want to take our little fan brush,

it's pretty clean, it doesn't have much on it,

and I wanna grab that and pull it back

back, back, back see, and that creates

that illusion right there, that easy.

Something about like so.

That works well let's do another one what the heck.

In our world there lives another

little thing right in there, here it comes

here it comes, there, see.

Just put it wherever you want it.

Grab our little fan brush again,

and once again all you do is just

go back with it, just pull it backwards.

And that creates all those little

things that you want in there, very simply.

Very simple, you don't have to

work at it hardly at all.

And as you know, I'm a very lazy

painter I look for easy ways to do things.

Let me get back into my liner brush

with a little bit of

paint that's been thinned with paint thinner.

And we'll just put the indication

here and there of just some little foam patterns.

Something about like that, we're not

too worried about it at this point.

We'll make a little highlight right up on

top of that so it continues on there.

Maybe back in here you could just

highlight a few of these little rascals.

Not gonna worry too much about them

but just show some of them,

think about being down at the ocean

watching waves come in, that's what makes it pretty.

Tell you what, find a, here's a filbert,

let's go in to, let's have a rock,

we use some van dyke brown, some

dark sienna just mixed together,

and maybe in our world there lives right here

klump just drop it in, big old stone

lives right there, right about here.

We put some dark color in first

just to make the base of it and

then we'll come back and put a little

highlight on it here and there

and there and here, wherever you want it.

Pull a little of that color down, just a little

and we will take a two inch brush grab it, pull down.

something like so, and go across,

that will end up being a little

reflection in the water when we get it all finished.

Okay let's take some white paint

and we'll get some bright red, bright red,

I'm using the same old dirty filbert

I don't care, it doesn't matter,

a little touch of the bright red, not much,

and now let's just sort of highlight our stone,

just let a little color play through here.

There we go, see there?

Just sort of play them back and forth

dark and light and you can actually

sculpt the stone doing that, there.

Think about where all these little things would live,

that easy, you can make it right in there.

Something like so, and then go back

to our small knife with a little bit of the white on it,

and let's just put a little indication,

little water floating right around the bottom.

And maybe, I got it, wait, I know, I know,

watch, right here, right here, here it comes,

here's another little thing that lives right out here.

Maybe it comes right on over there somewhere, who knows.

Once again we grab our fan brush

and we just pull that back, that simple.

Just pull it back, like so.

And we've got all kinds of water here,

we can take a filbert brush and

take a little bit of that blue and black and crimson color,

and we just go back up in here

and punch a few little holes in the surf,

just a few little indications,

some little dark areas makes it pretty,

see that, there they are, just a few,

that's easier than trying to paint

all the foam, just to go in there and drop some in.

Okay, lost my brush here for a second,

got so many brushes going I lost one,

we'll take a little bit of light blue,

thin it down and I want to put

the indication here of maybe just,

just a little ripple on the surface,

a little wet sheen, there we go,

something about like that just to give a little indication.

Alright let's have some fun,

I'm gonna grab a fan brush,

we're gonna take, a little bit of white,

I know, lost it this time, I think

maybe we'll have us a little sand dune

lives right out here (whistles)

maybe it comes down, I don't know,

where ever you want it, but allow it

to pick up some of those colors that are underneath.

There we go, just a happy little sand dune.

He just stays out here and watches

the water all day, has a good time, great time.

Grab another fan brush, take some sap green,

a little bit of the brown color,

I'm just going to mix some colors

together on my brush here,

sap green, some of the browns,

let's go up in here and let's just punch in

the bottom, it's gonna be the bottom of,

I need a little more color, of some little weeds

that live right in here, there we go.

Always got these little things that live there.

Maybe a few little doers in here, down here,

I don't know just, all we're doing is

pushing in some color here.

We'll go back and get out liner brush,

put some paint thinner on it,

and we're gonna begin taking,

we can start with a little bit of the green and brown,

and I just want to lift these up,

make some little sea oats out here.

You just pull that color right on out of there,

we'll do some dark color first,

we're using green and brown here,

just pull them out, alright,

a little more paint thinner, if your paint

won't float add more paint thinner to it.

There we go, and we'll do a little on this one,

and the next one, whatever,

take your brush and you can literally

grab a little bit of that base color

and let it become the shadows,

just let it mix right in there, it's alright,

that'll become your shadows, that green and brown

makes nice little shadows, there.

Don't want to kill all those nice colors

you picked up from underneath,

they become your good friend,

put all these little rascals in.

I'm gonna go in now to yellow ochre,

and just pop some right over the top of it.

Now when you're at home and you have

unlimited time you can really play

with these and put all kinds of gorgeous things.

Here if I go over 30 minutes I got

a mean old director, she has no sense of humor at all.

That's okay, we'll just put something in here real quick.

And sometimes there are little things

out here on the end, it's up to you.

Now no little seascape would be complete

without a happy little palm tree

so we'll just use the fan brush

go into some van dyke brown, a little black,

just have a little dark color to make his trunk,

and he lives in our world, he lives right there,

let's put a little crook down at the bottom.

Old palm trees have a tendency

to sort of get bent on the end there,

something about like that.

Now dip the brush into a little

bit of paint thinner, still using brown and black,

I wanna thin the paint just a little,

not a lot, just a little,

and let's put in just some basic ideas here

of some little leaves on this palm tree,

there they go, wherever, wherever,

maybe there's one down here,

I want to have ones coming right toward me,

so we'll just sort of hang him out there like that,

there's one behind him, there's a nice little one,

take a little bit of brown, white,

just want to touch this edge just a little,

then we'll take a fan brush and grab that

and pull it around so it'll,

makes the trunk look round.

Take a little touch of yellow and green

mixed together and let's just take and

highlight these just a little, just a little,

there, here we go, something about like that.

Shoot with that we about got a little old palm tree

but I wanted that limb to look like it

comes right straight out towards me.

You can use a liner brush, make a lot more detail,

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

I hope you enjoyed it and from all

of us here I'd like to wish you

happy painting and god bless my friend.
