"The Joy of Painting" A Walk in the Woods

1 00:00:01,368 --> 00:00:04,605 Hi, I'm Bob Ross, and for the next 13 weeks, I'll 2 00:00:04,705 --> 00:00:08,075 be your host as we experience the joy of painting. 3 00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:12,379 I think each of us, sometime during our life, has wanted to paint a picture. 4 00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:16,683 I think there's an artist hid in the bottom of every single one of us. 5 00:00:16,783 --> 00:00:20,587 And here we will try to show you how to bring that artist out, 6 00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:24,925 to put it on canvas, because you too can paint almighty pictures. 7 00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:28,896 You know, we have avoided painting for so long because I think all of our lives we've been told that you have to go 8 00:00:28,996 --> 00:00:33,033 to school half your life, maybe even have to be blessed by Michelangelo at birth to ever be able to paint a picture. 9 00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:40,841 And here, we want to show you that that's not true. 10 00:00:40,941 --> 00:00:44,912 That you can paint a picture right along with us. 11 00:00:45,012 --> 00:00:48,849 Each week we'll use the same colors, we'll use the same equipment. 12 00:00:48,949 --> 00:00:51,385 So if you have your brush and palette ready 13 00:00:51,485 --> 00:00:54,121 next week, you can paint right along with us. 14 00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,758 I'd like to go over some of the equipment that we'll use before we start. 15 00:00:57,858 --> 00:00:59,660 The brushes that we use. 16 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,799 I'll be using very large two and a half inch and one inch natural bristle brushes. 17 00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:11,438 Now these are natural bristle, be sure you don't start with a nylon brush. 18 00:01:11,538 --> 00:01:15,409 We'll use an almighty palette knife. 19 00:01:15,509 --> 00:01:17,544 And this is much different than the traditional palette knife. 20 00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:19,146 It is not thin and flimsy. 21 00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:21,081 It's a firm palette knife. 22 00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:24,418 And with this, we can make fantastic things happen. 23 00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:26,853 Let's go over the colors that we'll use. 24 00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:30,591 We're gonna start out here with titanium white, Phthalo green, 25 00:01:30,691 --> 00:01:34,962 Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown, Alizarin crimson, sap green, cad yellow, 26 00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,770 and permanent red. 27 00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:48,175 Now these eight colors we'll use each and every week for every picture that we do. 28 00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:52,613 So you don't have to go out and buy 1,500 different kinds of colors and brushes. 29 00:01:52,713 --> 00:01:55,882 You need very little equipment to paint with this. 30 00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:59,987 Another thing, we'll do no tracing of patterns on here. 31 00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:04,458 We start with a vision in our heart and we put it on canvas. 32 00:02:04,558 --> 00:02:07,961 And we're here to teach you to be able to do this too. 33 00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:09,062 So, let's do it. 34 00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:11,698 Let's paint a picture right here. 35 00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:14,835 We're gonna start with a big brush, and we're gonna 36 00:02:14,935 --> 00:02:17,904 cover the canvas with a thin layer of magic white. 37 00:02:18,005 --> 00:02:20,607 Now this is a wet-on-wet technique, so the first 38 00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:23,076 thing we're gonna do is get the canvas wet. 39 00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:27,147 And all we want is a nice, even, thin coat of paint here. 40 00:02:27,247 --> 00:02:28,615 There we go. 41 00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,853 Just cover it nice and even. 42 00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:37,324 You also need an almighty easel when you're doing this. 43 00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:40,694 You need an easel that will hold your canvas 44 00:02:40,794 --> 00:02:44,464 very firm and allow you to use these big brushes. 45 00:02:44,564 --> 00:02:46,333 Okay. 46 00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:49,302 When you're using a large brush like this, it 47 00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:52,639 really doesn't take too long to cover your canvas. 48 00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:55,342 And if you get a hair like that, just pop it 49 00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:58,211 off of the corner of your brush, flip it away. 50 00:02:58,311 --> 00:02:59,746 Okay. 51 00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:03,417 Now after you get your canvas covered with the magic white, 52 00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:07,320 We'll take and make long strokes back and forth 53 00:03:07,421 --> 00:03:11,925 to get a nice even distribution of paint on here. 54 00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:13,026 Okay. 55 00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:17,664 Up and down one time. 56 00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:23,403 That assures that the magic white's nice and even all the way across the canvas. 57 00:03:23,503 --> 00:03:25,372 Okay, let's wash the brush out here. 58 00:03:25,472 --> 00:03:30,277 Now we wash our brushes with odorless paint thinner. 59 00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:33,213 Okay, we'll wash him out. 60 00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:38,552 And I beat the brush just to dry the bristles. 61 00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:42,422 Now let's take a little bit of cad yellow here, and I think today 62 00:03:42,522 --> 00:03:46,660 we'll do a picture that's maybe like we're walking through the woods. 63 00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:51,665 And so let's start right here with a little bit of cad yellow 64 00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:55,402 with just the least little touch of phthalo green in it. 65 00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:58,371 And we'll add a little bit more of the green 66 00:03:58,472 --> 00:04:01,208 color, and we'll begin making little X's. 67 00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:02,809 Just like so. 68 00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:07,714 Just work that around. 69 00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:12,052 Okay. 70 00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:15,655 Now, without cleaning the brush, and we'll go right into some Prussian blue. 71 00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:18,859 Just add it right onto the brush here. 72 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:26,967 Just go out here, and we're making little crisscross strokes, little X strokes. 73 00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:41,481 Already we begin to have a light source in this painting. 74 00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:45,085 Okay, now we'll clean the brush again. 75 00:04:45,185 --> 00:04:46,820 Once again, this is odorless paint thinner. 76 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,756 We do not use turpentine. 77 00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:56,596 Now, with a nice clean brush, I'm gonna take and add just 78 00:04:56,696 --> 00:05:00,667 a little bit of titanium white right here in the center. 79 00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,005 Just a little. 80 00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:08,408 And we'll begin working outward. 81 00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:10,177 There. 82 00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:13,780 By now maybe you have recognized some of the 83 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,718 equipment we're using as something you've seen before. 84 00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:23,123 And I learned this fantastic technique from a wonderful man. 85 00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:27,460 That I think all of us had enjoyed for many, many years on TV, Bill Alexander. 86 00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:31,398 And Bill taught me this many years ago, and it is the 87 00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:35,168 most fantastic way to paint that you've ever seen. 88 00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:38,738 So, join us, have some fun. 89 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,878 And we'll just blend this out a little bit more here. 90 00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:51,451 Until we have a nice, smooth sky. 91 00:05:51,551 --> 00:05:52,919 There we go. 92 00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:05,031 Okay, we'll clean the brush one more time. 93 00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:12,439 Now, let's start putting in some, let's put in some almighty trees here. 94 00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:14,674 We're gonna start with a little bit of 95 00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:17,477 alizarin crimson and a touch of prussian blue. 96 00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:21,348 Now, the prussian blue is 100 times stronger than the 97 00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:25,752 crimson, so use just a little blue and a lot of crimson. 98 00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:29,656 And here we're gonna begin pushing in basic tree shapes. 99 00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:32,492 So just bend the brush. 100 00:06:32,592 --> 00:06:33,493 Bend the brush. 101 00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:38,265 Make those little leaves and branches just pop right out at you. 102 00:06:38,365 --> 00:06:38,798 There he comes. 103 00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:46,907 These little son of a guns hide in your brush and you just have to push them out. 104 00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:51,244 This is your world, your creation. 105 00:06:51,344 --> 00:06:55,215 Let's put a little one right here. 106 00:06:57,951 --> 00:07:01,454 And maybe we'll just put some little grassy areas coming down through here. 107 00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:07,360 And right there, there's one. 108 00:07:12,365 --> 00:07:14,434 You're pushing quite firm here. 109 00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:17,337 This is why I say you need an almighty easel 110 00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,540 when you're doing this, an easel that's strong. 111 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,608 Okay. 112 00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:28,148 Maybe over here on this side now, we'll add another one. 113 00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:31,551 Maybe a bigger one over here. 114 00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:34,988 There he is. 115 00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:39,659 And there's no secret to this. 116 00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,062 Anybody can paint. 117 00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:42,996 Anybody can paint. 118 00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:49,602 All you need is a dream in your heart, a little practice. 119 00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:53,239 Look at there, already we have the beginning of a beautiful picture. 120 00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:57,510 We have the tree shapes, a light source. 121 00:07:57,610 --> 00:08:02,549 Looks to me like it's early in the morning. 122 00:08:06,186 --> 00:08:10,256 Okay, now, let's put some trunks in these trees. 123 00:08:10,357 --> 00:08:14,127 And for that, we'll take a little bit of Van Dyke 124 00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:18,365 brown, and let's just lay in some basic trunks here. 125 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,468 There we go. 126 00:08:24,204 --> 00:08:30,944 And maybe we'll put a little limb right here, like so. 127 00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:34,748 Maybe some little something right there. 128 00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:35,248 There we are. 129 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:42,255 Now this little fellow over here, he needs a trunk too. 130 00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,892 So we'll put one right in here. 131 00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:54,534 And maybe some limbs up in here. 132 00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:58,204 Right through here, there we go. 133 00:08:58,304 --> 00:09:00,073 Just some indications here and there. 134 00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:03,943 And some little sticks and twigs. 135 00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:08,214 Okay, maybe over here. 136 00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:09,783 There we are. 137 00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,956 Okay, now we'll highlight these. 138 00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:23,997 And we'll take a little bit of white and a touch of brown mixed together. 139 00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:26,466 And remember where your light source is. 140 00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:31,137 So this tree we'll highlight right here. 141 00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:39,212 Like so. 142 00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:41,147 There we are. 143 00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:44,818 Now, over on this side, the light's coming 144 00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:49,222 through here, so we'll highlight this side of it. 145 00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:57,030 Okay, maybe a few little indications up through here. 146 00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:59,833 Now comes the fun. 147 00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:03,069 Now we can begin putting all the beautiful leaves 148 00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:06,606 and stuff on this and just really make it come alive. 149 00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:11,010 So here we'll take a little bit of the magic white to thinner paint. 150 00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:15,982 One of the golden rules in this is that a thin paint will stick to a thick paint. 151 00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:19,018 So anytime you're painting over the top of paint, you 152 00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:22,122 need to have a paint that's just a little bit thinner. 153 00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:25,592 Alrighty, we'll take a little bit of 154 00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:30,930 a little green, and a little bit of yellow. 155 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:33,533 And we load the brush full of paint. 156 00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:36,469 And our light's coming through here, so we want this side 157 00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:39,405 of the tree to be a little brighter than the other side. 158 00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:44,644 Alright, and then we begin pushing thousands of little leaves on here. 159 00:10:44,744 --> 00:10:48,615 Just, they hide in your brush. 160 00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,550 There they come. 161 00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:57,023 Just a little on this side over here, because not as much light's gonna strike. 162 00:10:57,123 --> 00:11:02,262 Little's gonna come through, but not as much. 163 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,072 And look at that, in just a matter of a few minutes, we have a beautiful tree. 164 00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:19,646 Okay, now maybe this little tree over here, we'll put a little highlight on him. 165 00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:23,183 And once again, we're using a paint that's a little bit thinner, 166 00:11:23,283 --> 00:11:25,351 so that it sticks. 167 00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:31,491 First thing that you have to do when you're doing this 168 00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:33,726 is start with an oil paint that's very, very firm. 169 00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:37,530 Your base paint has to be extremely firm. 170 00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:42,835 If you start with a thin, loose paint, you're gonna become a mud mixer. 171 00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:45,738 You have to have a thick paint on the base coat 172 00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:48,474 in order to get this thinner paint to stick. 173 00:11:48,575 --> 00:11:53,713 Now let's begin building some little bushes and stuff in here. 174 00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:56,316 Alright, look at that. 175 00:11:56,416 --> 00:11:58,117 You can do it. 176 00:11:58,218 --> 00:11:59,919 I know you can. 177 00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:09,829 There, look at there. 178 00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:15,201 Okay, let's move up to this big tree in the front here, 179 00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:19,239 and let's put some nice little leaves up here on him. 180 00:12:20,707 --> 00:12:22,442 You have to bend that brush. 181 00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:26,412 If the brush doesn't bend, you're not gonna get all these 182 00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:30,516 beautiful little leaves, these little actions that happen. 183 00:12:35,054 --> 00:12:40,326 Okay, maybe there's a nice little bush that lives right here. 184 00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:42,395 You know, if you've ever walked through the woods early 185 00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,430 in the morning, all the little creatures are out here. 186 00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:47,300 They're all playing in the bushes and stuff. 187 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,538 This is where they live, in all these bushes. 188 00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:59,112 Little bush here. 189 00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:04,317 Just let your imagination run wild. 190 00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:07,720 Let your heart be your guide. 191 00:13:09,355 --> 00:13:12,225 In the time you sit around worrying about it and trying to 192 00:13:12,325 --> 00:13:15,395 plan a painting, you could have completed a painting already. 193 00:13:15,495 --> 00:13:17,864 Let it happen. 194 00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:19,565 Let it happen. 195 00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:27,240 You know, for so many years, I was a traditional painter. 196 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:30,943 And I would spend sometimes weeks just working on a picture, 197 00:13:31,044 --> 00:13:34,580 drawing it out, getting all the little sketches and stuff. 198 00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:39,118 And then I'd go back and spend maybe a month trying to fill in the blocks. 199 00:13:39,218 --> 00:13:41,087 And here, we let it happen. 200 00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:42,355 It comes right out of here. 201 00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:43,656 It's in you. 202 00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:46,693 And you put it on the canvas. 203 00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,061 Okay. 204 00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:48,728 Let's see. 205 00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:55,335 Let's try this big old tree here. 206 00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:59,439 Put some nice little leaves on him. 207 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,074 208 00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:23,062 Mm. 209 00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:27,166 Okay, let's try, I'm gonna add a little Permanent Red with 210 00:14:27,266 --> 00:14:31,170 my color now, just to give us a little different value. 211 00:14:36,342 --> 00:14:41,514 Okay, now you know if we're gonna walk through the woods, we need a little path. 212 00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:47,920 So let's take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown here, 213 00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:50,390 And let's build us a happy little path. 214 00:14:50,490 --> 00:14:53,159 We're just gonna take the knife and let this 215 00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:56,295 path sort of just wander right down through here. 216 00:14:56,396 --> 00:15:04,404 There we go, just let him wander around, play, have fun. 217 00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,354 Give us a nice little path. 218 00:15:21,454 --> 00:15:25,358 Now we need to highlight that path, so I'll take just a little bit of white, and we'll just take and 219 00:15:25,458 --> 00:15:29,462 barely touch the canvas here, just enough so we can highlight where the sun's sparkling through here. 220 00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:38,938 There. 221 00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:41,441 See how easy that is? 222 00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:45,945 Let that paint break. 223 00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:53,352 And now in order to set the path down into the painting, we'll 224 00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:58,157 add some bushes that project up over the path here and there. 225 00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:00,326 Just push them in. 226 00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:04,130 There we go. 227 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:12,238 And you can see how that makes it just literally drop right into the painting. 228 00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:16,976 Okay. 229 00:16:17,076 --> 00:16:22,281 Let's put some more land areas in here. 230 00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:29,455 Maybe there's some nice little areas coming down through here. 231 00:16:33,793 --> 00:16:35,261 Just like so. 232 00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,838 And we'll have some over here. 233 00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:49,842 And follow the angle of your land. 234 00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:55,047 There we go. 235 00:16:55,147 --> 00:17:03,155 There we go. 236 00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:06,726 There. 237 00:17:06,826 --> 00:17:10,963 And maybe, maybe, maybe, as we're walking through 238 00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:15,067 the woods here, maybe it rained last night. 239 00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:16,736 Maybe it came a nice little rain. 240 00:17:16,836 --> 00:17:19,438 There's little puddles. 241 00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:23,676 After it rains, you always have little rain puddles. 242 00:17:23,776 --> 00:17:26,245 So let's take a little touch of the Prussian blue here. 243 00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:28,881 It will just make us a little puddle. 244 00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:35,087 And we put some Prussian blue on the brush, and we take here and pull downward. 245 00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:38,391 Just pull downward, like so. 246 00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:52,371 See how easy it is to do? 247 00:17:52,471 --> 00:18:01,247 Now, very gently, we'll come across this way, just to give it a watery effect. 248 00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:05,217 Now if you want to, if you want to put highlights in here, maybe you could 249 00:18:05,318 --> 00:18:09,355 take just a little touch of the titanium white on your brush and pull down. 250 00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:14,994 It'll give a sort of a sheen. 251 00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:30,943 And then, once again, just come across just enough to give it a nice watery feel. 252 00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:34,680 You can overdo this part very easily. 253 00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:39,251 Okay, I'm gonna wash off the old brush. 254 00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:52,331 Okay, now we can take a little more of the Van Dyke brown. 255 00:18:52,431 --> 00:18:54,266 And we can just make little puddles out of this. 256 00:18:54,367 --> 00:19:00,172 So maybe it comes down like so, right through there. 257 00:19:00,272 --> 00:19:00,806 There we are. 258 00:19:00,906 --> 00:19:04,543 Okay. 259 00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:08,681 Little puddle. 260 00:19:08,781 --> 00:19:16,088 And we'll just make this a little separate puddle back here. 261 00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:17,890 Just like that. 262 00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:26,265 Okay, then we'll take a little bit of brown and 263 00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:30,703 white, and we'll lay a little highlight on there. 264 00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:32,171 There we go. 265 00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:44,784 And in your world, you can do anything that your heart desires. 266 00:19:44,884 --> 00:19:52,625 My home. 267 00:19:52,725 --> 00:19:56,662 Is in Fairbanks, Alaska, and I spend a lot of time walking around in the 268 00:19:56,762 --> 00:20:01,634 woods and talking to trees and squirrels and little rabbits and stuff. 269 00:20:01,734 --> 00:20:03,869 And I look at a lot of nature. 270 00:20:03,969 --> 00:20:06,439 And if painting teaches you nothing else, it'll 271 00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:09,175 teach you to look at nature with different eyes. 272 00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,544 It'll teach you to see things that have been 273 00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:14,046 there all your life and you've never noticed. 274 00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:21,187 And if it does nothing else but make you enjoy nature, it's worthwhile. 275 00:20:21,287 --> 00:20:24,090 Look around, look at what we have. 276 00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:26,325 Beauty is everywhere. 277 00:20:26,425 --> 00:20:29,729 You only have to look to see it. 278 00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:29,862 Okay. 279 00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:32,998 And I talk too much sometimes, so we'll go back to painting here. 280 00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:35,534 Take a little bit of the thin white paint here, 281 00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:38,304 and we'll put some little water lines back in here. 282 00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:40,573 Okay, just like so. 283 00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:44,210 There we go. 284 00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:56,722 And maybe some little water lines right here. 285 00:20:56,822 --> 00:20:59,492 This is just a thin white paint and you 286 00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,995 literally just cut right into the canvas with it. 287 00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:06,132 And let's smooth that out. 288 00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:07,600 There we go. 289 00:21:14,673 --> 00:21:17,243 Okay, now while I have the knife here, I'm gonna 290 00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:20,246 take and just cut a few little sticks here and there. 291 00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:25,284 And all we're doing is just literally cutting right through the paint. 292 00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:31,957 So the canvas shows through and it makes a multitude of little sticks. 293 00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:37,730 And these little sticks help create the illusion of distance in a painting. 294 00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:40,232 All different planes. 295 00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:49,041 Okay. 296 00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:52,912 Now then, let's put some, let's put some bushes and 297 00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:57,850 stuff right down here on the grass, on this soil area. 298 00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,318 There we go. 299 00:22:03,355 --> 00:22:05,090 There they are. 300 00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:08,194 There they are. 301 00:22:08,294 --> 00:22:10,496 They just live right here in your brush. 302 00:22:10,596 --> 00:22:14,233 And you just drop them right in. 303 00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:20,873 Okay. 304 00:22:22,575 --> 00:22:24,410 Now, let's take and do this. 305 00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:29,081 Let's put some land right down through here. 306 00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:35,387 Back to the Van Dyke brown, a little bit of white. 307 00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:36,856 There we go. 308 00:22:39,959 --> 00:22:44,163 We'll lay a little highlight on here. 309 00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:54,940 And we'll put a few little bushes and stuff right out here. 310 00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:00,746 See how easy that is? 311 00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:05,985 Okay, a few more little water lines in there. 312 00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:11,857 Just let them happen. 313 00:23:14,593 --> 00:23:18,430 Each week, we'll try to do paintings that are designed to teach you something 314 00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:22,601 different, something new, something exciting, just to keep your interest going. 315 00:23:25,371 --> 00:23:26,505 Okay, now. 316 00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:29,875 Let's play a little bit here. 317 00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:32,378 Let's have a happy little tree right in here. 318 00:23:32,478 --> 00:23:37,383 So I'm gonna start with the Van Dyke brown, and we'll make his little trunk here. 319 00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:38,717 There he goes. 320 00:23:38,817 --> 00:23:41,220 Do-do-boop-boop-boop. 321 00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:47,760 Straight Van Dyke brown to start with. 322 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:53,332 There, and we'll just turn the knife and give him little foots to stand on. 323 00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,433 There. 324 00:23:59,672 --> 00:24:04,209 And maybe he needs another little arm out here, so we'll just give him one. 325 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:11,350 This is your creation, you can do anything here that you want to do. 326 00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,619 Just let it happen. 327 00:24:20,726 --> 00:24:24,763 And we'll give him some little leaves, and we'll use some 328 00:24:24,863 --> 00:24:29,068 more of the alizarin crimson, touch of prussian blue. 329 00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:31,537 Okay, and we need dark in order to show 330 00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:34,340 light, so first we'll put some dark on here. 331 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:41,513 And we'll put some happy little leaves here and there. 332 00:24:41,613 --> 00:24:45,651 When we see you next week, I hope you have your almighty easel set up. 333 00:24:45,751 --> 00:24:49,621 Get the colors ready, your big brushes all primed and 334 00:24:49,722 --> 00:24:53,759 ready to go, and do an almighty painting with us here. 335 00:24:55,761 --> 00:24:58,364 Very quickly while I'm finishing this up, I'll 336 00:24:58,464 --> 00:25:01,033 go over the colors one more time that we use. 337 00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:05,070 Titanium white, phthalo green, Prussian blue, 338 00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:09,141 van dyke brown, alizarin crimson, sap green, 339 00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:18,517 Cad Yellow and Permanent Red. 340 00:25:19,585 --> 00:25:22,988 Only eight colors that you need. 341 00:25:23,088 --> 00:25:29,795 Okay, now, let's put some highlights on this pretty little tree right here. 342 00:25:29,895 --> 00:25:33,565 I use just a little touch more of the Permanent 343 00:25:33,665 --> 00:25:37,536 Red in this one so he'll stand out a little more. 344 00:25:37,636 --> 00:25:42,908 See how easy it is to create a tree right here in your world? 345 00:25:43,008 --> 00:25:44,376 There we go. 346 00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,819 And maybe down here, maybe there's some nice 347 00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:57,423 little bushes and stuff happening right in here. 348 00:25:57,523 --> 00:26:04,296 There we go. 349 00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:10,702 Alright, maybe right there, another one. 350 00:26:10,803 --> 00:26:10,836 Okay. 351 00:26:10,936 --> 00:26:15,407 Here and there I'm gonna put just a few little sticks and stuff. 352 00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:16,675 Like that. 353 00:26:18,944 --> 00:26:23,982 Just once again, to build some distance in here. 354 00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:25,851 We want this to have a lot of depth in it. 355 00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:33,959 And we'll cut in a few little sticks here and there, like so. 356 00:26:35,661 --> 00:26:36,662 You getting excited yet? 357 00:26:36,762 -->

enough along, we'll just sign this rascal. 361 00:26:56,849 --> 00:27:00,652 And I signed the painting with a script liner brush, a little 362 00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:04,957 bit of oil, and I used red paint, but whatever color you prefer. 363 00:27:05,057 --> 00:27:07,092 Okay. 364 00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:13,832 And we'll just sign that rascal. 365 00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:17,536 I hope you've enjoyed
