1
00:00:01,060 --> 00:00:02,171
Welcome back.

2
00:00:02,221 --> 00:00:04,195
You know, we've had
so many cards and letters

3
00:00:04,219 --> 00:00:05,995
requesting more of
these black canvases.

4
00:00:06,045 --> 00:00:08,258
Today I thought I'd do
something a little crazy.

5
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:10,260
It's one of those
funny little moods.

6
00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:12,401
So I've taken the liberty
of going ahead and

7
00:00:12,425 --> 00:00:14,444
covering the canvas
with different colors.

8
00:00:14,494 --> 00:00:16,787
And let's go over the
colors that we used.

9
00:00:16,837 --> 00:00:20,722
I've taken here an alizarin
crimson in about a half circle,

10
00:00:20,746 --> 00:00:24,655
and the whole bottom of the
canvas is covered with crimson.

11
00:00:24,705 --> 00:00:27,358
The top is Prussian blue.

12
00:00:27,408 --> 00:00:29,580
And then we've blended
all of this together.

13
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:33,625
Now when you're preparing these
black canvases at home, be sure it's a flat

14
00:00:33,649 --> 00:00:37,507
black that you use and allow it to
dry completely before you start this.

15
00:00:37,557 --> 00:00:38,928
So let's go.

16
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:44,534
We'll take a fan brush here and I'm gonna
start with a little bit of titanium white.

17
00:00:44,584 --> 00:00:45,875
And let's just play a little.

18
00:00:45,925 --> 00:00:48,738
Let's just have a little fun.

19
00:00:48,788 --> 00:00:52,623
And we'll start right up in
here and we're just gonna begin

20
00:00:52,647 --> 00:00:56,245
touching this canvas and
letting this just play around.

21
00:00:56,295 --> 00:00:59,330
You can see how it's picking
up the crimson underneath.

22
00:00:59,380 --> 00:01:01,094
Just let it go.

23
00:01:02,225 --> 00:01:04,510
Just move the brush.

24
00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:09,643
Just little indications
all over the place.

25
00:01:09,777 --> 00:01:15,457
And we'll make some happy
little things in the sky here.

26
00:01:15,507 --> 00:01:16,507
There.

27
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:19,612
Just let it play.

28
00:01:20,515 --> 00:01:27,715
But now you can see how it's
picking up the blue color up here.

29
00:01:29,435 --> 00:01:32,069
Maybe we'll put a little
bit over in this direction.

30
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:33,490
There we go.

31
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:36,955
Don't get it too bright.

32
00:01:37,005 --> 00:01:40,285
Okay, now we'll take the
large brush and we'll begin

33
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:43,423
blending all this together,
and just very gently.

34
00:01:43,473 --> 00:01:47,130
Just begin bringing it together.

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,318
And this should create beautiful
little clouds, little sunset type.

36
00:01:54,368 --> 00:01:59,102
Just turn the brush, keep it
moving, circles, always in circles.

37
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:00,523
There we go.

38
00:02:04,919 --> 00:02:05,919
Alright.

39
00:02:06,421 --> 00:02:11,221
And then we'll just
blend it all together.

40
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:18,306
Isn't that unreal, what
these black canvases do?

41
00:02:18,356 --> 00:02:23,891
And that quickly, we've made
a beautiful little sunset sky.

42
00:02:23,941 --> 00:02:26,504
And when you're at home,
let your imagination go crazy

43
00:02:26,528 --> 00:02:29,258
and use these black canvases
to do a multitude of things.

44
00:02:29,308 --> 00:02:33,284
The only prerequisite is that the color
that you apply here be a transparent color,

45
00:02:33,308 --> 00:02:37,308
so that when you put the lighter color on,
it picks up and just boom, out it comes.

46
00:02:40,544 --> 00:02:41,686
All right.

47
00:02:42,546 --> 00:02:47,744
Thought maybe today we'd
do, let's do a lazy little river.

48
00:02:47,794 --> 00:02:48,794
Okay.

49
00:02:51,198 --> 00:02:54,055
Clean the old brush here.

50
00:02:55,227 --> 00:02:56,598
That is fun.

51
00:02:57,170 --> 00:03:00,320
Alright, let's take a
one inch brush and we'll

52
00:03:00,344 --> 00:03:03,449
use some alizarin crimson
and van dyke brown.

53
00:03:03,499 --> 00:03:05,412
Just mix them on the brush.

54
00:03:05,462 --> 00:03:07,616
Load a lot of paint
into your bristles.

55
00:03:07,666 --> 00:03:09,380
A lot of paint.

56
00:03:09,549 --> 00:03:12,850
And we'll begin applying
some paint here and

57
00:03:12,874 --> 00:03:16,048
make general little
tree shapes and stuff.

58
00:03:16,098 --> 00:03:19,058
And we don't want
to cover up all this

59
00:03:19,082 --> 00:03:22,538
beautiful little sky
that we've put in here.

60
00:03:22,588 --> 00:03:25,216
Leave it loose and airy

61
00:03:29,483 --> 00:03:34,880
Man, maybe there's a happy
little tree that lives right here.

62
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:37,864
I know at home you may be having a
hard time seeing what I'm doing here.

63
00:03:37,914 --> 00:03:40,448
All we're doing is putting
on some base color.

64
00:03:40,498 --> 00:03:43,331
The brown and the
crimson mixed together.

65
00:03:43,381 --> 00:03:48,919
Oh, maybe we'll have some
big trees over here in the corner.

66
00:03:48,969 --> 00:03:50,340
There we go.

67
00:03:53,995 --> 00:03:54,995
Alright.

68
00:03:55,457 --> 00:03:56,749
We were using almighty brushes.

69
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,056
It only takes a few
minutes to cover a canvas.

70
00:04:04,718 --> 00:04:08,113
Okay, that gives us
something to start with.

71
00:04:08,163 --> 00:04:11,277
Now we'll take, let's build some
happy little reflections in here.

72
00:04:11,327 --> 00:04:14,882
I'm gonna take just a little tiny bit
of cad yellow on the large brush.

73
00:04:14,932 --> 00:04:16,865
Just a small, small amount.

74
00:04:16,915 --> 00:04:20,290
It's easy to add more color, but
it's a son of a gun to take it away.

75
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:23,311
Touch, pull straight down.

76
00:04:25,407 --> 00:04:27,079
Touch, pull down.

77
00:04:27,129 --> 00:04:30,965
I see a yellow is mixing with
a crimson that's underneath.

78
00:04:31,015 --> 00:04:35,027
And make some
beautiful little colors.

79
00:04:35,077 --> 00:04:36,562
Look at that.

80
00:04:38,842 --> 00:04:41,927
Just pull it straight down.

81
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:48,526
And this is our light
source, so right under

82
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:52,550
that we want it to
be a little bit brighter.

83
00:04:53,201 --> 00:04:54,572
There we go.

84
00:04:56,238 --> 00:04:59,438
Now, very gently, go across.

85
00:04:59,826 --> 00:05:01,840
Just enough to
give it a water effect.

86
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:03,985
And since this is wet on
wet, you can move things.

87
00:05:04,035 --> 00:05:06,777
You can push that paint.

88
00:05:09,146 --> 00:05:13,260
You can make these
reflections bend.

89
00:05:14,758 --> 00:05:15,637
Okay.

90
00:05:15,661 --> 00:05:18,996
Now, let's begin
highlighting some of these.

91
00:05:19,046 --> 00:05:24,284
Now in reality, if you had a sky like this,
you would have nothing but silhouettes.

92
00:05:24,334 --> 00:05:28,470
But when you buy your first tube of
paint, you're issued an artist's license.

93
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,697
And an artist's license says you
can do anything you want to do.

94
00:05:32,747 --> 00:05:35,080
So that's what we're gonna do.

95
00:05:35,130 --> 00:05:38,919
I'm gonna take a fan
brush with a little bit of Van

96
00:05:38,943 --> 00:05:43,130
Dyke brown and burnt umber,
just mixed on the fan brush.

97
00:05:45,023 --> 00:05:47,315
And we'll put a few little
trunks here and there.

98
00:05:47,365 --> 00:05:51,420
And all we're gonna
do is touch and pull.

99
00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:54,365
If you wanted to highlight
those all in one stroke,

100
00:05:54,389 --> 00:05:57,366
add a little bit of yellow
on one side of the brush.

101
00:05:57,416 --> 00:05:58,867
Just a tiny bit.

102
00:05:58,917 --> 00:06:03,252
And when you push, you'll
automatically get the highlights.

103
00:06:03,302 --> 00:06:06,795
Let's go back and
highlight this one a little.

104
00:06:06,845 --> 00:06:07,845
There.

105
00:06:10,068 --> 00:06:15,668
And maybe, maybe there's
a trunk right over here.

106
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,611
And let's have some big
trunks up through these trees.

107
00:06:25,191 --> 00:06:27,476
Just here and there.

108
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:32,871
There we go.

109
00:06:33,523 --> 00:06:35,042
Okay.

110
00:06:35,066 --> 00:06:38,904
Now, I'm gonna take a tiny little
bit of magic white, just to thin the

111
00:06:38,928 --> 00:06:43,066
paint a small amount, and I'm gonna
go into a little bit of the cad yellow.

112
00:06:43,798 --> 00:06:47,455
Maybe a little more magic white.

113
00:06:48,355 --> 00:06:51,508
Thin paint will
stick to a thick paint.

114
00:06:51,558 --> 00:06:55,612
And we'll go into some permanent
red, and back to the yellow.

115
00:06:55,662 --> 00:06:57,798
We'll make some
bright little colors here,

116
00:06:57,822 --> 00:07:00,136
so they really stand
out on your set at home.

117
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:07,363
And let's go up here and push
in just thousands of little leaves.

118
00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:08,413
There.

119
00:07:11,337 --> 00:07:17,060
Now the colors we've used
underneath, the alizarin,

120
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:18,862
mixes with the yellow
and doesn't destroy.

121
00:07:18,912 --> 00:07:24,397
You don't have to wash
your brush quite so much.

122
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:30,118
Let's go into a little
bit of the umber color.

123
00:07:31,069 --> 00:07:37,228
There, a little bit of the umber mixed with
yellow, just to dull it down a slight bit.

124
00:07:37,278 --> 00:07:41,180
And we'll come back in
here, there, and begin putting

125
00:07:41,204 --> 00:07:45,278
little indications of little
things all over the place.

126
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:50,339
Maybe there's a
little bit right there.

127
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:56,051
There we go.

128
00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:59,900
Now, maybe I'm just going
back and forth between yellow

129
00:07:59,924 --> 00:08:03,494
and red, ochre, a little
bit of umber now and then.

130
00:08:03,544 --> 00:08:11,544
Okay, now maybe there's one
that hides right down in here.

131
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,074



132
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,015
You beginning to
see the river yet?

133
00:08:28,065 --> 00:08:31,083
Up the lazy river, down
the old... So you got to

134
00:08:31,107 --> 00:08:34,085
get in the mood and
sing a little and have fun.

135
00:08:34,135 --> 00:08:40,649
It's a good thing I took up
painting rather than singing.

136
00:08:41,007 --> 00:08:43,320
Okay, now let's put a
little bit of dirt along here.

137
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:46,025
Little bit of
banks, river banks.

138
00:08:46,075 --> 00:08:52,817
This is the burnt umber with
a little van dyke brown in it.

139
00:08:59,204 --> 00:09:02,265
And I'm gonna use a
little bit of yellow and

140
00:09:02,289 --> 00:09:05,444
burnt umber mixed
together to highlight this.

141
00:09:05,494 --> 00:09:08,122
Yellow and burnt umber.

142
00:09:08,179 --> 00:09:12,215
Don't want it to get too
bright, just so it stands out.

143
00:09:12,265 --> 00:09:13,522
Just touch.

144
00:09:13,868 --> 00:09:16,610
Barely, barely touching.

145
00:09:16,712 --> 00:09:22,632
Just enough to allow the
paint to pull off your knife.

146
00:09:22,682 --> 00:09:24,053
There we go.

147
00:09:28,685 --> 00:09:30,419
Now, we'll take a
little bit of, this is

148
00:09:30,443 --> 00:09:32,552
yellow, it's got a little
umber in it, and we'll

149
00:09:32,576 --> 00:09:34,584
just make a little water
line under here, just

150
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:36,685
enough to separate the
reflection and the land.

151
00:09:40,641 --> 00:09:43,612
Just let that play around.

152
00:09:46,368 --> 00:09:47,739
There we go.

153
00:09:51,956 --> 00:09:55,637
Okay.

154
00:09:55,661 --> 00:09:58,098
Now, with a fan brush,

155
00:09:58,148 --> 00:10:00,481
I'm just gonna bring
all this together here.

156
00:10:00,531 --> 00:10:03,405
Let's add a little
touch of green to that.

157
00:10:03,455 --> 00:10:05,188
Just a tiny bit.

158
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:09,274
And we'll just put a little bit of green
working its way down through here.

159
00:10:09,324 --> 00:10:17,324
Just to bring the land and
the trees all together here.

160
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,502
Okay, now then.

161
00:10:29,013 --> 00:10:34,955
We'll put a big bank coming
right down through here.

162
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:38,255
Just like so.

163
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:42,310
Once again, this may be very hard
for you to see when you set it home,

164
00:10:42,334 --> 00:10:46,305
but I'm just putting a little Van
Dyke brown and umber right in here.

165
00:10:46,616 --> 00:10:51,301
Just to give us a
nice base to work with.

166
00:10:54,226 --> 00:10:55,423
Okay.

167
00:10:55,447 --> 00:11:00,589
Little bit of water line
underneath this one.

168
00:11:01,025 --> 00:11:08,796
Now then, let's take the large
brush and pull it through some color.

169
00:11:11,558 --> 00:11:12,929
There we go.

170
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,107
I want to add a tiny,
tiny little bit of magic

171
00:11:15,131 --> 00:11:17,054
white to that, just
to thin it a little bit.

172
00:11:17,104 --> 00:11:18,104
There.

173
00:11:21,289 --> 00:11:23,482
Little more permanent red.

174
00:11:23,532 --> 00:11:26,626
Load a lot of paint
into the bristles here.

175
00:11:26,676 --> 00:11:31,046
And let's put some nice, airy,
loose little leaves just up in here.

176
00:11:31,096 --> 00:11:34,524
Just very quiet little things.

177
00:11:34,681 --> 00:11:38,416
Don't wanna get them
too many, just a few.

178
00:11:38,466 --> 00:11:45,905
Just where the light's running through
here and playing and having fun.

179
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:47,897
Ah, look at that.

180
00:11:52,243 --> 00:11:53,241
There we go.

181
00:11:53,265 --> 00:11:56,159
And it's important that you leave
a lot of dark in these paintings.

182
00:11:56,209 --> 00:12:00,894
Tremendous amount
of dark should be left.

183
00:12:01,268 --> 00:12:06,806
Add a little sap green to my
yellow and red to make a dark color.

184
00:12:06,856 --> 00:12:10,297
I wanna put a little bit of
highlight back in here, just at the

185
00:12:10,321 --> 00:12:13,676
bottom of these trees, but I
don't want it to be real bright.

186
00:12:13,726 --> 00:12:17,650
Just enough to give
the indication that there's

187
00:12:17,674 --> 00:12:21,286
a lot of little things
happening back here.

188
00:12:21,336 --> 00:12:25,839
There we go.

189
00:12:25,863 --> 00:12:27,445
Like so.

190
00:12:28,015 --> 00:12:34,232
Let's go back with some crimson and
Van Dyke brown mixed on the brush again.

191
00:12:34,282 --> 00:12:37,415
Just mix them
together on the brush.

192
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:39,003
And let's put something
over on this side.

193
00:12:39,027 --> 00:12:45,383
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
there's a nice tree right here.

194
00:12:45,433 --> 00:12:51,833
In your world, you can put
trees wherever you want them.

195
00:12:52,401 --> 00:12:57,227
Ooh, I'd love to have my
canoe come down this river.

196
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:01,178
When I'm at home in Alaska, we have
a little canoe that we run through all the

197
00:13:01,202 --> 00:13:05,277
little rivers and stuff and take the camera
and take pictures of all the animals.

198
00:13:08,030 --> 00:13:11,090
And it's not unusual still in
Alaska to come around a bend in

199
00:13:11,114 --> 00:13:14,148
a beautiful little river and
see little moose standing here.

200
00:13:14,198 --> 00:13:16,591
Little moose, they're big moose.

201
00:13:16,641 --> 00:13:20,175
Especially when you're
in a canoe and they're not.

202
00:13:20,225 --> 00:13:25,779
There, let me just throw a few
little trunk indications here and there.

203
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:33,427
Okay, now, I'll go back into some
yellow, a little bit of permanent red.

204
00:13:33,477 --> 00:13:37,752
And we'll put a few little
highlights on this tree.

205
00:13:37,802 --> 00:13:42,602
Just where you think
a light would strike.

206
00:13:44,729 --> 00:13:47,740
Okay, anytime you want to
dull it, put a little bit of green with

207
00:13:47,764 --> 00:13:50,846
it, a little bit of sap green
with it, that'll dull it right down.

208
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:55,462
Because red and green
mixed together make brown.

209
00:13:55,512 --> 00:13:59,888
Maybe a couple little
bushes up in here.

210
00:13:59,938 --> 00:14:02,232
And then we need some
land for that to stand on.

211
00:14:02,282 --> 00:14:06,113
So I'll use a little bit
of the Van Dyke brown,

212
00:14:06,137 --> 00:14:09,663
a little umber in it,
a little burnt umber.

213
00:14:09,713 --> 00:14:13,368
And we'll just lay some
happy little ground in here.

214
00:14:13,418 --> 00:14:14,789
There we go.

215
00:14:17,163 --> 00:14:20,919
And then we can highlight
that with the umber and yellow.

216
00:14:20,969 --> 00:14:25,311
Just enough so it
stands out a little.

217
00:14:28,486 --> 00:14:30,699
This one over here, I'm
gonna strengthen just a little.

218
00:14:30,749 --> 00:14:35,705
It's a little bit weak, so
I'm gonna strengthen it.

219
00:14:35,755 --> 00:14:35,972
There.

220
00:14:35,996 --> 00:14:41,422
A little bit of highlight on it.

221
00:14:48,271 --> 00:14:51,968
Okay, now let's take the
same basic colors and let's

222
00:14:51,992 --> 00:14:56,071
just pop a few little reflections
down here in the water.

223
00:14:56,121 --> 00:14:58,406
Just here and there.

224
00:15:03,164 --> 00:15:07,421
Maybe right out here on
the end, ooh, there's a fireball.

225
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:10,406
Nice, bright, when
the light's striking.

226
00:15:10,456 --> 00:15:14,673
And we'll pop just a little bit
of that down into the water.

227
00:15:14,723 --> 00:15:20,803
Now, with a clean, dry brush, I'm
gonna very gently pull downward.

228
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:22,338
Just like so.

229
00:15:22,436 --> 00:15:24,816
And then come across.

230
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,775
Just enough to give
it a nice watery effect.

231
00:15:27,825 --> 00:15:30,738
Create a little
reflection in the water.

232
00:15:30,788 --> 00:15:38,268
Okay, now let's take the fan
brush, a little more of the sap green.

233
00:15:38,318 --> 00:15:39,318
There.

234
00:15:40,841 --> 00:15:45,176
And we'll bring all this together with
some nice little grassy areas here.

235
00:15:45,226 --> 00:15:50,140
Just touch, make the
fan brush bend upward.

236
00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:54,627
There we go.

237
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:02,717
And maybe a little
bit into the reflection.

238
00:16:02,767 --> 00:16:06,743
As I say, I've done thousands of these
black canvases, and they never stop

239
00:16:06,767 --> 00:16:10,767
to amaze me, some of the beautiful
effects that you can achieve with them.

240
00:16:11,355 --> 00:16:13,967
And we'll turn that into
part of the reflections.

241
00:16:14,017 --> 00:16:15,388
Come across.

242
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:22,257
Alright, now we'll take
the knife here, and let's

243
00:16:22,281 --> 00:16:26,281
put a little water line
underneath this one here.

244
00:16:29,371 --> 00:16:30,856
Just like so.

245
00:16:34,728 --> 00:16:36,670
That's something.

246
00:16:37,992 --> 00:16:40,130
Okay.

247
00:16:40,154 --> 00:16:43,908
Now with a clean knife, I'm just gonna
scratch a few little sticks here and there.

248
00:16:43,958 --> 00:16:47,272
Just some little indications.

249
00:16:54,549 --> 00:16:57,362
Okay, let's put a few little
sticks all over the place.

250
00:16:57,412 --> 00:17:01,310
These little sticks help
create depth because each

251
00:17:01,334 --> 00:17:05,412
group of them show
different planes in the painting.

252
00:17:12,781 --> 00:17:20,001
Let's bring this land area right here
together, just using the fan brush.

253
00:17:20,051 --> 00:17:26,509
You can also do this with your one inch
brush or the two and a half inch brush.

254
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:27,930
There we go.

255
00:17:29,523 --> 00:17:34,339
Okay, now maybe, maybe we
need a little path in this picture.

256
00:17:34,389 --> 00:17:36,626
Let's put a happy little path.

257
00:17:36,676 --> 00:17:41,317
You can walk around here and find that
big trout that lives out here in the river.

258
00:17:41,367 --> 00:17:44,966
So I'll use Van Dyke brown and figure
out where you want your path to go.

259
00:17:45,016 --> 00:17:50,079
And I'm just gonna do him like this,
just back and forth, back and forth.

260
00:17:50,129 --> 00:17:52,625
And just let him
start working forward.

261
00:17:52,675 --> 00:17:59,189
Just so we have a general
idea of where we're going here.

262
00:18:02,545 --> 00:18:04,897
There's a little hill, a
little bank right here.

263
00:18:04,947 --> 00:18:09,401
So we'll take the fan brush, little bit of
green, yellow, red, all mixed together.

264
00:18:09,451 --> 00:18:12,902
Just mix the colors on
your brush so you've got an

265
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:16,888
absolute, I don't know
what it is, it's just every color.

266
00:18:16,938 --> 00:18:21,873
And let's begin putting some
little grassy areas in here.

267
00:18:21,923 --> 00:18:23,615
Oh, look at that.

268
00:18:23,665 --> 00:18:26,257
Let them climb right up the
hill, follow the lay of the land.

269
00:18:26,307 --> 00:18:34,307
I know you're tired of hearing me say
that by now, but it's most, most important.

270
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:41,476
And keep it quite dark, don't
let it get too bright on you.

271
00:18:41,526 --> 00:18:44,801
Okay, now maybe there's a
couple of happy little bushes

272
00:18:44,825 --> 00:18:47,825
and trees that live right
along in here somewhere.

273
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:49,246
There he is.

274
00:18:50,478 --> 00:18:54,820
Right there, just
a happy little bush.

275
00:18:57,368 --> 00:19:01,558
And maybe there's
another one right here.

276
00:19:01,608 --> 00:19:05,583
And these protrude up a little higher,
so they'll catch a little more light.

277
00:19:05,633 --> 00:19:09,404
They'll be a
little bit brighter.

278
00:19:11,581 --> 00:19:15,742
There.

279
00:19:15,766 --> 00:19:22,164
Okay, and with a fan brush, we
can bring this all back together again.

280
00:19:22,214 --> 00:19:24,487
Okay, let's use a
little bit of the umber.

281
00:19:24,537 --> 00:19:26,533
This is burnt umber.

282
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:29,016
And just put a little bit
of highlight on our path.

283
00:19:29,066 --> 00:19:31,058
Just let it play and have fun.

284
00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:36,384
Back and forth, barely, barely,
barely touching the canvas.

285
00:19:36,434 --> 00:19:39,708
Just to create the
illusion of a nice little path.

286
00:19:39,758 --> 00:19:43,245
And don't worry about
these edges, we'll

287
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:47,658
straighten those up in a
second when we highlight.

288
00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:53,484
Now, back to the fan brush
and let's bring all this together.

289
00:19:53,534 --> 00:19:57,305
Let's start
bringing it together.

290
00:19:58,696 --> 00:20:02,599
You know, if you've just been exposed
to this for the first time and you've tried

291
00:20:02,623 --> 00:20:06,696
it at home, I bet you never believed you
could do such fantastic paintings yourself.

292
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:10,541
Every day we hear from
people that say, my God, I've

293
00:20:10,565 --> 00:20:14,072
never painted in my life
and I tried this and it works.

294
00:20:14,122 --> 00:20:15,950
It really works.

295
00:20:19,872 --> 00:20:24,557
There we go, just
bringing that together.

296
00:20:25,932 --> 00:20:29,953
Okay, and maybe over
in here we'll bring this

297
00:20:29,977 --> 00:20:33,932
right on down, just
like a nice little hill.

298
00:20:36,244 --> 00:20:42,072
And we've got an old path
going back through there.

299
00:20:42,452 --> 00:20:45,766
There, just let it disappear.

300
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,360
Okay.

301
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:53,984
There it goes.

302
00:20:59,311 --> 00:21:02,511
To begin to create our path.

303
00:21:05,959 --> 00:21:09,765
Let's take a little bit
of the magic white, a

304
00:21:09,789 --> 00:21:13,959
little bit of yellow, yellow
ochre mixed in here.

305
00:21:15,090 --> 00:21:17,844
Let's put a happy little
bush that lives right here.

306
00:21:17,894 --> 00:21:19,045
This does several things.

307
00:21:19,095 --> 00:21:21,359
It creates more depth, but
more important, it closes the

308
00:21:21,383 --> 00:21:23,631
end of the path, so we really
don't know where it goes.

309
00:21:23,681 --> 00:21:26,835
It just goes right on off into
the woods here somewhere.

310
00:21:26,885 --> 00:21:29,856
Just sort of closes it up.

311
00:21:31,238 --> 00:21:33,590
There's a nice little bush.

312
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,620
You know, one thing
I would like to mention

313
00:21:35,644 --> 00:21:37,694
while we have just a
couple of minutes here.

314
00:21:37,744 --> 00:21:40,717
The only way we know what
to paint is if you let us know.

315
00:21:40,767 --> 00:21:44,258
So, drop me a line here
and you can address it

316
00:21:44,282 --> 00:21:47,644
in care of me here at
WIPB, Muncie, Indiana.

317
00:21:47,694 --> 00:21:50,006
And they do forward
all the mail to me.

318
00:21:50,056 --> 00:21:52,054
And I'd like to know what
you want on the next show.

319
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:56,653
That way we can start producing paintings
and I have to practice a little bit.

320
00:21:56,703 --> 00:22:00,100
And we'll get them ready for you so
the next time we have a series here, we

321
00:22:00,124 --> 00:22:03,682
can do the type of paintings that you
want to see and want to learn how to do.

322
00:22:03,732 --> 00:22:07,366
But we need for
you to let us know.

323
00:22:07,416 --> 00:22:13,816
Okay, we'll put a few more
little sticks here and there.

324
00:22:17,409 --> 00:22:19,842
There we go, just drop them in.

325
00:22:19,892 --> 00:22:22,837
And all you're doing is
scratching through the

326
00:22:22,861 --> 00:22:26,218
paint and allowing the
black canvas to show through.

327
00:22:26,268 --> 00:22:29,125
Just every so often here.

328
00:22:30,574 --> 00:22:34,785
Okay, maybe, maybe there's
a happy little stone that's

329
00:22:34,809 --> 00:22:38,574
right here, so we just take
some Van Dyke brown.

330
00:22:40,208 --> 00:22:42,722
And just lay in a
basic little stone shape.

331
00:22:42,772 --> 00:22:47,629
And we can take some umber, burnt
umber, and a little bit of the yellow.

332
00:22:47,679 --> 00:22:54,307
Makes a very nice highlight
color on these dark paintings.

333
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:58,847
And don't mix it dead, just mix
it so it's marble-y, as Bill calls it.

334
00:22:58,897 --> 00:23:00,497
Just marble-y.

335
00:23:01,842 --> 00:23:02,842
There.

336
00:23:03,384 --> 00:23:04,641
Now, touch.

337
00:23:05,348 --> 00:23:10,266
Just let the knife wander down
the side of your little stone here.

338
00:23:10,316 --> 00:23:12,810
Create some little highlights.

339
00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:15,735
These are just like
doing small mountains.

340
00:23:15,785 --> 00:23:23,785
And with tender, loving care, they'll
grow up and be almighty mountains.

341
00:23:25,550 --> 00:23:30,605
Little bit of highlight right up here on
the top, just sort of bring that together.

342
00:23:30,655 --> 00:23:34,409
Now we need to take and
put the rock into the painting.

343
00:23:34,459 --> 00:23:38,331
Right now it sort of floats above
everything, so with a fan brush here, I'm

344
00:23:38,355 --> 00:23:42,459
just gonna add a little color underneath,
just so we sort of bring it together.

345
00:23:43,268 --> 00:23:48,068
Just let it flow right
together like that.

346
00:23:51,696 --> 00:23:53,067
There we go.

347
00:23:54,338 --> 00:23:57,433
A few little sticks and twigs
and stuff like that in here.

348
00:23:57,483 --> 00:23:59,702
And when you're doing this at
home, you have unlimited time.

349
00:23:59,726 --> 00:24:05,705
You could put all kind of little details
in here and just do fantastic things.

350
00:24:05,755 --> 00:24:07,469
Let's see here.

351
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:13,183
Wanna brighten that
water line right there

352
00:24:13,207 --> 00:24:17,300
so it stands out just
a tiny, tiny bit more.

353
00:24:17,930 --> 00:24:20,789
You can also wait till
these paintings dry and

354
00:24:20,813 --> 00:24:23,885
go back and add very
nice little details into it.

355
00:24:23,935 --> 00:24:25,827
You don't have to do
everything while it's wet.

356
00:24:25,877 --> 00:24:27,769
You can allow it
to dry and go back.

357
00:24:27,819 --> 00:24:30,318
A lot of times in still
lifes and stuff you want to

358
00:24:30,342 --> 00:24:33,014
put like little dew drops
on the leaves and et cetera.

359
00:24:33,064 --> 00:24:35,702
It's really better to
allow the painting to dry

360
00:24:35,726 --> 00:24:38,218
and then you go back
and put your dew drops.

361
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:40,079
If you wanted to put
a nice little deer or

362
00:24:40,103 --> 00:24:42,244
something in here, what I
recommend is you scrape

363
00:24:42,268 --> 00:24:44,134
out the basic shape,
remove this wet, loose

364
00:24:44,158 --> 00:24:46,268
paint, allow the painting
to get just about dry.

365
00:24:47,917 --> 00:24:49,859
And then go back and
paint your little deer in

366
00:24:49,883 --> 00:24:51,891
and you don't pick up
all the underneath color.

367
00:24:51,941 --> 00:24:53,693
And it really works
better that way.

368
00:24:53,743 --> 00:24:56,916
And this would be a super
painting to put a little deer in.

369
00:24:56,966 --> 00:24:57,966
Okay.

370
00:24:59,168 --> 00:25:01,745
I think this painting's
getting close enough to the

371
00:25:01,769 --> 00:25:04,524
end here that we can start
worrying about a signature.

372
00:25:04,574 --> 00:25:06,165
And I'll dip into
some thin oil here.

373
00:25:06,215 --> 00:25:11,929
And just work your paint
until it gets like water.

374
00:25:12,442 --> 00:25:13,653
Just like water.

375
00:25:13,703 --> 00:25:15,988
And turn that brush.

376
00:25:16,786 --> 00:25:18,500
Really turn it.

377
00:25:21,177 --> 00:25:25,853
And bring it to a very,
very nice sharp, sharp point.

378
00:25:25,903 --> 00:25:28,756
Turn it, bring it to a point.

379
00:25:28,806 --> 00:25:31,900
And then decide where
you want your signature.

380
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:37,186
You know, so often we get questions
like, how do I sign my painting?

381
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:41,552
That's as varied as
there are, as artists are.

382
00:25:41,602 --> 00:25:44,996
You sign it in a way
that's unique to you.

383
00:25:45,046 --> 00:25:49,160
That becomes part
of your trademark.

384
00:25:49,912 --> 00:25:50,431
Okay.

385
00:25:50,455 --> 00:25:53,782
So that one's signed, I
think we'll call it finished.

386
00:25:53,832 --> 00:26:01,832
On behalf of all of us here at the station,
happy painting and have a super day.

387
00:26:02,305 --> 00:27:02,206
