"The Joy of Painting" Mt. McKinley

1 00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:02,302 Hello, glad to see you again. 2 00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:05,873 Thought today we'd do a picture of this right straight out of Alaska. 3 00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:08,742 We'll do one of Mount McKinley, the most almighty 4 00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:11,178 mountain in the North American continent. 5 00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:14,548 And we'll start off today, and we'll use just a little bit of 6 00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:18,185 Prussian blue, maybe a touch of phthalo green mixed with it here. 7 00:00:18,285 --> 00:00:21,688 And let's dance in some basic shapes here. 8 00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:26,193 I've already put the magic white on the canvas to save a little time. 9 00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:31,064 So, we're just literally mixing color right here on the canvas. 10 00:00:31,164 --> 00:00:34,835 Let this brush dance and play and have fun. 11 00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:38,171 And all we're looking for is general, basic cloud shapes here. 12 00:00:38,272 --> 00:00:41,441 We're really not trying to put anything in. 13 00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:43,243 Just let it happen. 14 00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:47,347 Just move the brush, keep it moving, working, playing, having fun. 15 00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:48,382 There we go. 16 00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:50,517 Isn't that something? 17 00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:52,319 There we are. 18 00:00:52,419 --> 00:00:54,221 Got a nice little cloud shape right there. 19 00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:57,491 What the heck? 20 00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:59,026 Okay. 21 00:00:59,126 --> 00:01:00,727 Keep the brush moving. 22 00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:01,461 Don't let it stop. 23 00:01:01,562 --> 00:01:09,536 Sometimes brush is lazy, you have to really push it a little or it'll quit on you. 24 00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:11,738 Make it keep moving. 25 00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:17,244 Okay, now we'll take the almighty brush here and we're gonna swirl this. 26 00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:18,812 We're gonna pull the color. 27 00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:20,914 Move it. 28 00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:21,982 Pull it. 29 00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:24,718 Try to avoid a pattern. 30 00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:26,620 We want this to go everywhere. 31 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,190 We're looking for a sky here that has life in it, has movement in it. 32 00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:34,061 We don't want a sky that looks like at night you pull the curtain 33 00:01:34,161 --> 00:01:38,298 down and everything went black on you, so we want to keep this moving. 34 00:01:38,398 --> 00:01:40,400 There. 35 00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:45,439 And already you're beginning to see all the little things happening up here. 36 00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:48,141 Every which direction. 37 00:01:48,241 --> 00:01:50,978 Everywhere, there we go. 38 00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,248 Now you can blend this too much and take it all out. 39 00:01:55,349 --> 00:01:58,852 We don't want to take it out, we just want to mix it up. 40 00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:00,220 Stir it up. 41 00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:08,161 Okay, while we got some paint on the brush here, we'll 42 00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:12,332 add a little more Prussian blue and phthalo green. 43 00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:15,235 And we'll put us in some water. 44 00:02:15,335 --> 00:02:18,905 We pull from the outside in. 45 00:02:19,006 --> 00:02:20,807 And leave a little area open here. 46 00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,276 That will create the 47 00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:27,381 little sheen of light that plays across the water. 48 00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:31,084 You could go back with white paint and put it back in, but you've 49 00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:34,721 already covered the canvas with magic white, so why not use it? 50 00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:39,292 This is a lazy man's way of painting. 51 00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:42,829 You let the paint work, you let the brushes work. 52 00:02:42,929 --> 00:02:47,868 Use what happens naturally, don't fight it. 53 00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:52,906 Okay. 54 00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:56,743 Clean the old brush off and let's get out an almighty fan 55 00:02:56,843 --> 00:03:00,847 brush here and let's build some happy little clouds up here. 56 00:03:00,947 --> 00:03:04,885 I'm gonna take titanium white with the least little touch 57 00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:08,955 of permanent red in it and load the brush full of paint. 58 00:03:09,956 --> 00:03:12,059 Just really load it up. 59 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,029 Now we'll start working on some basic cloud shapes here and we'll 60 00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:20,167 dance in all these little areas and let them just play in the sky. 61 00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:22,869 Keep the brush moving. 62 00:03:22,969 --> 00:03:24,671 Keep it moving. 63 00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:29,509 You want areas that are thick, areas that are thin. 64 00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:32,913 Let all these little things happen. 65 00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:34,114 Okay. 66 00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:38,919 And we'll take the big brush here and gently, gently blend this together. 67 00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:40,520 Very lightly. 68 00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:43,623 And fluff it up a little. 69 00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:45,859 And hypnotize it. 70 00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,894 And right there you've got an almighty cloud. 71 00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:50,230 Just that quick. 72 00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,898 But they're very easily killed. 73 00:03:51,998 --> 00:03:53,800 Clouds are delicate. 74 00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,135 Don't overwork it. 75 00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:58,405 Put it in, leave it alone. 76 00:03:58,505 --> 00:03:59,840 Okay, maybe we'll have another one here. 77 00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:04,411 We'll put a layer of these clouds some. 78 00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:09,983 Okay. 79 00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:11,284 Nature is so beautiful. 80 00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:14,121 Just let it go. 81 00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:16,156 Have fun with it. 82 00:04:17,891 --> 00:04:22,329 Very, very easy to work these to death. 83 00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:29,569 Okay, we'll blend this in. 84 00:04:29,669 --> 00:04:30,904 And you work in layers here. 85 00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:34,574 You do the thing that's the farthest away 86 00:04:34,674 --> 00:04:39,613 first, have him finished, and then work forward. 87 00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:41,615 There, let's hypnotize that one. 88 00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:44,918 Blend this one a little bit. 89 00:04:47,754 --> 00:04:49,456 Okay. 90 00:04:49,556 --> 00:04:51,925 Little bit more red here. 91 00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,560 There we go. 92 00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:55,328 Don't wanna set these clouds on fire now. 93 00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:59,299 All we wanna do is have a slight warmish glow 94 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:03,837 to them, like the sun's playing along the top. 95 00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:07,474 There we go. 96 00:05:07,574 --> 00:05:09,376 Yes, we better not forget this side of the sky. 97 00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:13,446 We'll put a little something over here. 98 00:05:13,547 --> 00:05:20,153 There's some nice little clouds playing around in the sky. 99 00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:29,963 Okay, mix these up a little bit. 100 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,101 Okay. 101 00:05:35,202 --> 00:05:39,272 Maybe a little streaky one right here. 102 00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:40,240 Got baby clouds too. 103 00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:46,413 If you didn't have baby clouds, you wouldn't have big clouds. 104 00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:46,847 There. 105 00:05:46,947 --> 00:05:51,885 And we can work on this one a little touch. 106 00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:56,223 Okay. 107 00:05:57,657 --> 00:06:00,493 There, looks like a nice place. 108 00:06:00,594 --> 00:06:02,796 And we're really pushing this paint into the canvas. 109 00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:06,967 We're working that value right into the canvas. 110 00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:09,569 Just let it play. 111 00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:12,239 Don't kill all the dark areas. 112 00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:19,946 You can end up with great big cotton balls in the sky if you're not careful. 113 00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:25,185 Guess I'd be considered a UFO, big cotton ball in the sky. 114 00:06:25,285 --> 00:06:26,887 Fluff that up. 115 00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:33,026 And work that paint. 116 00:06:34,594 --> 00:06:38,498 And look at there, in just a couple of minutes, you 117 00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:42,769 have a sky that has so much action happening in it. 118 00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:44,905 There we go, okay. 119 00:06:51,611 --> 00:06:54,414 If you do this in your living room, you can redecorate your 120 00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:57,183 living room in a matter of minutes, so be very careful. 121 00:06:57,284 --> 00:06:58,285 Learn to control it. 122 00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:01,588 Have your box you can shake your brush in, and that 123 00:07:01,688 --> 00:07:05,091 way you don't have to worry about covering everything. 124 00:07:05,191 --> 00:07:09,129 Okay, let's take a little bit of brown and blue, a 125 00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:13,199 little touch of alizarin crimson, and some white. 126 00:07:15,368 --> 00:07:16,469 There we go. 127 00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:20,640 And don't mix your paint dead, mix it marbly and leave it alone. 128 00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:23,176 Okay, now let's do, since we're gonna do 129 00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:26,146 McKinley today, let's do the basic shape here. 130 00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:30,750 McKinley comes down like so, has another peak. 131 00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:33,586 Running right off through here. 132 00:07:33,687 --> 00:07:37,891 Make that just a little more rounded. 133 00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:41,394 There. 134 00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:46,700 And we let this side drop right down and over. 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,204 All you're looking for here is the basic outline, the basic shape of this mountain. 136 00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:55,308 You're not worried at all what happens in here. 137 00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:56,676 Okay. 138 00:07:56,776 --> 00:08:02,148 Take the big brush and we'll pull that down. 139 00:08:02,248 --> 00:08:07,020 This takes off the excess paint and makes the next layer stick better. 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,224 And also when you're doing mountains, if you can see the entire mountain, 141 00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:14,961 the top of the mountain is always more distinct than the bottom. 142 00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:18,565 At the bottom of the mountain we have mist and now we have pollution. 143 00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:25,772 We have a multitude of things that break up and diffuse light. 144 00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:30,510 And we'll put some snow on that almighty mountain. 145 00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:32,145 Pull that paint out real flat. 146 00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:35,715 Just pull it out and get us a little roll of paint. 147 00:08:35,815 --> 00:08:42,789 And we'll just lay this on and let it travel right on down. 148 00:08:42,889 --> 00:08:44,958 And you want the paint to break like this, to 149 00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,360 make all the little things that happen in there. 150 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:52,932 The little shadows, light and dark areas. 151 00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,034 Okay. 152 00:08:55,668 --> 00:09:00,340 And there's a little bump that comes out right there. 153 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,043 And works his way down. 154 00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:10,450 And over here, let this drop just like so. 155 00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:19,059 There we go. 156 00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:27,700 Now for the shadow color, we'll use a little Prussian blue and white. 157 00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:29,936 And once again, don't mix it dead. 158 00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:34,007 You want it to be sort of marbledy. 159 00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:37,944 Okay, now we'll start with the shadows. 160 00:09:38,044 --> 00:09:39,145 We'll just lay these in here. 161 00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:44,017 We want to bring these two areas here together. 162 00:09:44,117 --> 00:09:47,787 So we just sort of work it back and forth and let 163 00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:51,658 it come, there you go, let it just come together. 164 00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:57,697 And maybe this shadow comes right down through here. 165 00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:04,137 Every highlight needs its own private shadow. 166 00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:12,178 See, we'll put a little shadow right there. 167 00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:13,680 See how that protrudes that up? 168 00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:16,282 Makes it just jump right out at you. 169 00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:19,419 Little ridges here and there. 170 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,858 All kind of little things happening in this mountain. 171 00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:28,228 And we need a shadow back here behind this almighty peak. 172 00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:30,497 There it is. 173 00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:32,432 Just let him go. 174 00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:41,674 Okay, and we wanna peek, it comes right up through 175 00:10:41,774 --> 00:10:45,345 here, and just begins working its way back down. 176 00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:53,419 There. 177 00:11:01,361 --> 00:11:04,297 It's a nice ridge coming through here. 178 00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:08,067 And we can bring these together. 179 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,944 A few little shadows in here. 180 00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:20,313 Just here and there. 181 00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:27,120 Okay. 182 00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,722 And as we said, we want this to be 183 00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:32,225 more distinct at the top than the bottom, so we're 184 00:11:32,325 --> 00:11:34,894 gonna diffuse the bottom of it, and only the bottom. 185 00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:37,397 And here we're just tapping the canvas. 186 00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:40,633 We're trying not to destroy, only diffuse. 187 00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:43,169 And this is where you really depend on a firm paint. 188 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:50,910 If you have a loose, oily, thin paint, you become a mud mixer here. 189 00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,081 So when you try this at home, 190 00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:57,417 If you find that you're making a lot of mud, 191 00:11:57,517 --> 00:11:59,953 check your paint, it should be very, very firm. 192 00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:02,422 Squeeze that tube, it should stand up maybe 193 00:12:02,522 --> 00:12:05,225 about three quarters of an inch above the tube. 194 00:12:05,325 --> 00:12:08,027 Then you have a nice firm paint. 195 00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:10,363 Okay, I'm gonna make the same color and make it darker. 196 00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:15,568 Blue-brown, a little alizarin added to it. 197 00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:17,770 Because I want this mountain to be in front. 198 00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:22,308 This is a beautiful study of how to make one mountain look very, very big. 199 00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:30,083 And we'll put some little smaller mountains here in the foreground. 200 00:12:34,821 --> 00:12:38,157 Okay, now a little peak here. 201 00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:47,400 And we'll take the big brush and pull that out. 202 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:48,935 Sun will go. 203 00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:51,771 This comes right out. 204 00:12:51,871 --> 00:12:54,774 That's the beauty of painting wet on wet. 205 00:12:54,874 --> 00:12:58,645 You can move paint on the canvas. 206 00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:04,484 And we'll put some little, happy little snow here. 207 00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:07,287 Just let that run. 208 00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:08,788 There we go. 209 00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:15,862 Okay. 210 00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:23,970 Our light is still coming from the same direction here, so don't let that fool you. 211 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:35,648 Okay, now we can work in some shadows here. 212 00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:42,455 Let's push that one into the background, just 213 00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:46,426 come right on through, and that'll push him back. 214 00:13:46,526 --> 00:13:53,132 Scary to have this much power that you can move mountains. 215 00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:02,608 Okay, this, there. 216 00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:09,615 We can swing this around and bring these two right together. 217 00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:14,520 Just make a nice little ridge out of that. 218 00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:20,093 Okay, now we've got an almighty mountain. 219 00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:23,796 I'm gonna take a little of the blue-brown alizarin 220 00:14:23,896 --> 00:14:27,333 crimson, add a little touch of sap green to it. 221 00:14:27,433 --> 00:14:31,003 Looking for a dark color here, very dark. 222 00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:36,075 And we'll load up this one inch brush and we'll push in some little dark areas here. 223 00:14:36,175 --> 00:14:39,345 This'll be our little trees that are way, way back in the distance. 224 00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:47,420 Bushes and trees and all the little things happening back here. 225 00:14:50,022 --> 00:14:51,391 There we go. 226 00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:57,830 Now with the big brush, we can pull a little bit of this color down. 227 00:14:57,930 --> 00:15:03,403 And this'll be the beginning of our reflections. 228 00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:13,413 Okay, and we'll just give it a little bit of ripple to make it look watery. 229 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,074 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm 230 00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:25,124 Okay, let's put some highlights on here. 231 00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:32,198 I'm gonna use a little bit of Magic White mixed with some Cad Yellow. 232 00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:34,267 Little touch of Permanent Red. 233 00:15:34,367 --> 00:15:38,471 And we just sort of go back and forth, make a nice orangey color here. 234 00:15:38,571 --> 00:15:41,974 Bright color. 235 00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,213 There we go. 236 00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:52,919 All these nice little bushes happening back here. 237 00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:08,434 And then we'll reflect some of that right down into the water here. 238 00:16:08,534 --> 00:16:11,871 There we go. 239 00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:16,242 Now with a big brush and the most delicate, delicate touch possible. 240 00:16:16,342 --> 00:16:19,645 Just enough to pull the paint a little bit. 241 00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:24,050 We'll pull that down and just give it a watery effect. 242 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:27,753 Don't want to destroy it. 243 00:16:27,854 --> 00:16:30,089 Okay. 244 00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:34,527 Now, let's take, mix up a lot of dark here. 245 00:16:34,627 --> 00:16:39,232 Blue, brown, alizarin and a little bit of sap green. 246 00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:42,201 Should look black to you. 247 00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,306 And we'll load the brush full of paint. 248 00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:48,908 Load it full. 249 00:16:51,878 --> 00:16:53,346 Lot of paint. 250 00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:58,184 And let's make some little evergreen trees 251 00:16:58,284 --> 00:17:02,522 that are growing way back here in the distance. 252 00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:13,699 Let's firm that one up a little bit. 253 00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,402 Needs to be a little stronger. 254 00:17:16,502 --> 00:17:20,973 There we go. 255 00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:25,878 Maybe he's got a friend that lives right over here. 256 00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:28,281 Just dropped him in. 257 00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:46,399 Okay, maybe they're getting a little bigger as it comes around the curve. 258 00:17:54,473 --> 00:18:03,349 Maybe a little baby one back here. 259 00:18:03,449 --> 00:18:07,320 Put a little bush in front of him. 260 00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:13,259 Okay, take a little touch of magic white, little bit of brown, and 261 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,363 a little touch of yellow, just to make a nice sandy looking color. 262 00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:30,476 And we'll lay in a little water line back here. 263 00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:47,259 And we'll cut in a few little trunks and sticks here and there. 264 00:18:56,769 --> 00:19:02,375 Okay. 265 00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:06,078 Maybe we need another tree right here. 266 00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:07,847 Trees are getting closer, 267 00:19:07,947 --> 00:19:09,015 They're getting a little bigger. 268 00:19:09,115 --> 00:19:09,949 They look bigger to you. 269 00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:13,252 This is the way we push everything back. 270 00:19:13,352 --> 00:19:21,327 Work with perspective here. 271 00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:27,299 Okay, let's move to the other side of the picture while we got a 272 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,504 brush full of paint here, and we'll put an almighty tree right here. 273 00:19:36,709 --> 00:19:37,977 These trees live in your brush. 274 00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:40,446 You have to scare them out sometimes. 275 00:19:40,546 --> 00:19:42,114 Really work at them. 276 00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:47,119 Little son of a guns will try to avoid you. 277 00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:50,756 And they're like everything else. 278 00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:54,994 The first time you try them, they're gonna drive you up the wall. 279 00:19:55,094 --> 00:19:56,462 But you practice it. 280 00:19:56,562 --> 00:19:59,999 If there's a secret to this, it is practice. 281 00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:05,271 You learn how to make the brush work, how to touch the canvas with it, 282 00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:10,943 And then it's just a matter of practicing. 283 00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:12,778 First time you tied your shoe, it wasn't easy. 284 00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:15,481 You had to look at it and work at it. 285 00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:17,583 Next thing you know, you're not paying any 286 00:20:17,683 --> 00:20:19,819 attention, you just, you got your shoe tied. 287 00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,187 Same thing. 288 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:27,359 Okay. 289 00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:29,428 We'll just 290 00:20:29,528 --> 00:20:32,898 Maybe we'll make another little projection coming right out through here. 291 00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:34,967 There we go. 292 00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,903 Put a reflection in here. 293 00:20:40,139 --> 00:20:48,147 And we'll pull that down. 294 00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:56,489 Okay, lay in some more of these pretty colors back here. 295 00:20:56,589 --> 00:21:00,459 Some nice little bush right there. 296 00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:05,731 There's one. 297 00:21:09,335 --> 00:21:11,170 And right down here we'll reflect some of these. 298 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:19,278 Okay, delicate touch again. 299 00:21:23,382 --> 00:21:24,950 Very, very light. 300 00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:32,091 Just enough to move it a little bit on the wet canvas. 301 00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:38,264 And we'll put some land out here so these bushes have a place to sit. 302 00:21:38,364 --> 00:21:41,534 Don't want them to fall off in the river here. 303 00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:46,605 So we'll give him something to sit on here. 304 00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:49,809 And we can take a clean brush and just lift that gently. 305 00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:53,412 This is a very thin paint now, it's mostly magic white. 306 00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:59,218 So you can move that without destroying what's underneath it. 307 00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:04,156 And here we'll use a little bit of just straight Magic White. 308 00:22:04,256 --> 00:22:09,995 And we'll put us a happy little waterline in here. 309 00:22:11,363 --> 00:22:17,469 There. 310 00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:20,372 Okay. 311 00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:21,507 Now then. 312 00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:29,515 You can, you can put some more little bushes right in here. 313 00:22:29,615 --> 00:22:30,616 Like so. 314 00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:37,890 And we'll drop some reflections into the water. 315 00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:43,896 And we'll pull those down. 316 00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:44,997 And anybody can do this. 317 00:22:45,097 --> 00:22:48,100 This is not some big secret thing. 318 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:48,868 Anybody can do it. 319 00:22:48,968 --> 00:22:56,976 We teach people from the age of 10 all the way up 80 and 90 years old. 320 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:04,550 And young people really, really like this. 321 00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:11,056 They learn it very easily, very quickly, and they see results very quickly. 322 00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:14,693 I have a son that's a young man right now, and 323 00:23:14,793 --> 00:23:18,731 he's been painting since he was about 12 years old. 324 00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:21,367 Been selling his work. 325 00:23:24,136 --> 00:23:27,439 So it's not just for the older person. 326 00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:32,144 It will also work very well for the young person. 327 00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:35,180 The only trouble, like my son, he's quite lazy. 328 00:23:35,281 --> 00:23:37,182 He'll only paint if he needs money. 329 00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:40,286 If he needs money, he'll paint. 330 00:23:40,386 --> 00:23:45,557 But it is a nice way to put a happy buck in your pocket. 331 00:23:45,658 --> 00:23:50,429 And to make good things happen in your heart. 332 00:23:50,529 --> 00:23:54,633 Okay, we'll just have this come right on down through here. 333 00:23:54,733 --> 00:23:56,669 Take all that in. 334 00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:06,445 Okay, now we can start highlighting some of these things. 335 00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:10,582 We'll take a little bit of blue and yellow mixed together. 336 00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:14,753 Make a very nice little green color here. 337 00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:17,189 And we'll just drop some highlights on this tree. 338 00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:18,691 Remember where your light's coming from. 339 00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:21,226 Light's coming from the right. 340 00:24:21,327 --> 00:24:24,663 So you want the right-hand side of this tree to be a 341 00:24:24,763 --> 00:24:28,033 little more distinct and bright than the left side. 342 00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:30,536 And if you're right-handed, you'll probably find 343 00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:33,272 it's easier to have the light coming from the right. 344 00:24:33,372 --> 00:24:40,913 If you're left-handed, it will sort of vary from person to person. 345 00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:42,481 Okay. 346 00:24:42,581 --> 00:24:47,186 Let's put some little highlights over here on these little trees. 347 00:24:47,286 --> 00:24:50,589 The sun wouldn't forget them. 348 00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:08,240 Now, a little more magic white, thin that down just a touch. 349 00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,143 And we can start finding all these beautiful 350 00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:14,380 little trees and bushes that are living in here. 351 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,582 Very important that you don't kill all this dark area. 352 00:25:16,682 --> 00:25:22,554 If you kill all the dark, your picture's gonna be very flat. 353 00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:27,793 And we might as well just reflect that right into the water there. 354 00:25:27,893 --> 00:25:30,529 Okay, there we go. 355 00:25:30,629 --> 00:25:31,930 Little bit right in here. 356 00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:40,039 And we'll reflect that right on down, a little touch of red over the top. 357 00:25:42,608 --> 00:25:47,046 Okay, there's another nice tree I see. 358 00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:54,420 Little rascals live in your brush, you just gotta push them out. 359 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,024 And let's put a touch more of the magic here. 360 00:25:59,124 --> 00:26:01,860 There, nice ochre color. 361 00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:18,444 All these pretty little bushes, just let them flow off your brush. 362 00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:25,684 There are some little grassy areas coming down through here. 363 00:26:25,784 --> 00:26:29,688 Let's turn that into a nice reflection. 364 00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:33,292 Just like so. 365 00:26:33,392 --> 00:26:34,526 Okay, now. 366 00:26:36,662 --> 00:26:40,332 Let's give him a little bit of dirt. 367 00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:41,800 There we go. 368 00:26:42,968 --> 00:26:46,038 This is straight Van Dyke brown. 369 00:26:46,138 --> 00:26:49,241 And onto that, we'll take a little brown and white 370 00:26:49,341 --> 00:26:52,211 and give him just a little touch of highlight. 371 00:26:52,311 --> 00:26:59,985 Make him look like little stones and rocks playing through here. 372 00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:03,122 And let's put a few little sticks here and there. 373 00:27:03,222 --> 00:27:07,759 Here we're just cutting through the paint using the point of the knife. 374 00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:14,600 But it shows distance, it shows all these different planes. 375 00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:17,836 Okay. 376 00:27:17,936 --> 00:27:25,911 We'll put just a little bit of magic white under here, give us a little water line. 377 00:27:31,884 --> 00:27:33,852 There we go. 378 00:27:33,952 --> 00:27:37,823 And a few little sticks over here. 379 00:27:42,094 --> 00:27:46,165 Okay, but you see what you can do in just a few minutes with an almighty 380 00:27:46,265 --> 00:27:50,102 brush and an almighty knife and a beautiful painting in your heart. 381 00:27:51,637 --> 00:27:54,139 All you have to do is let it out. 382 00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:56,275 A few more sticks. 383 00:27:59,444 --> 00:28:00,479 There we go. 384 00:28:00,579 --> 00:28:02,381 I think we'll call that finished. 385 00:28:02,481 --> 00:28:05,150 And I want to thank you very, very much for watching us. 386 00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:06,952 I hope to see you again in the near future. 387 00:28:07,052 --> 00:28:08,587 Until then, happy painting. 388 00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:16,695 Thank you. 388 00:28:17,305 --> 00:29:17,179
