"The Joy of Painting" Quiet Stream

1 00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:03,403 Well, welcome back. 2 00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:05,172 Glad to see you again today. 3 00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:09,343 I thought today we'd do something a little different, and I've taken the liberty 4 00:00:09,443 --> 00:00:13,680 of going ahead and covering the canvas with a complete layer of sap green. 5 00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:18,018 And to that, I'm gonna add a little Prussian blue right on the bottom here. 6 00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:21,021 And we just start at the bottom and work up so 7 00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:24,057 that it gets lighter and lighter as we go up. 8 00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:25,526 There we go. 9 00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:30,230 I thought today we'd make a happy little stream 10 00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:34,368 that's just sort of running through the woods here. 11 00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:42,476 Okay, we just work this blue back and forth so it graduates in value as it goes up. 12 00:00:45,913 --> 00:00:46,914 Okay. 13 00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:54,788 Now, let's take, let's use this brush. 14 00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:59,393 And we'll take a little bit of cad yellow and let's make a light source in here. 15 00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:03,263 And we'll just do this by making little X patterns. 16 00:01:03,363 --> 00:01:05,032 There we go. 17 00:01:05,132 --> 00:01:08,902 Just work it around, around, around so it gets 18 00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:13,140 darker and darker as it goes out from the center. 19 00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:16,243 Maybe a touch more. 20 00:01:16,343 --> 00:01:20,847 Always starting in the light area and working outward. 21 00:01:20,948 --> 00:01:22,316 There we go. 22 00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:29,089 Just back and forth, little Xs. 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,434 Okay, now we'll take the big brush and very gently we'll hypnotize this. 24 00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,269 There. 25 00:01:42,369 --> 00:01:44,905 Just let it blend out. 26 00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:55,616 So that we sort of have a light source, that's all we're looking for here. 27 00:01:55,716 --> 00:02:00,988 Now still using the big brush, we'll go right back into the sap green. 28 00:02:01,088 --> 00:02:03,523 And we'll do some basic tree shapes here. 29 00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:07,894 And we push the paint into the canvas, just really push it. 30 00:02:07,995 --> 00:02:09,363 There we go. 31 00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,901 You need an almighty easel when you're doing this, because 32 00:02:15,002 --> 00:02:18,972 you're really, really pressing the paint into the canvas. 33 00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:26,613 Okay. 34 00:02:26,713 --> 00:02:31,952 Maybe we'll have another big tree right in here. 35 00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:34,087 Okay, there it is. 36 00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:43,530 Isn't that fantastic that you can just push a tree right out of your brush like that? 37 00:02:44,531 --> 00:02:46,700 Maybe we'll have another tree here. 38 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,107 No use stopping, we're having so much fun here with these trees. 39 00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:56,543 Okay. 40 00:02:57,778 --> 00:03:00,447 And already we have a basic shape to work with. 41 00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:03,350 We really don't plan these paintings, we let them happen. 42 00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:08,155 We just sort of decide where we want basic shapes and work from there. 43 00:03:08,255 --> 00:03:11,124 Okay, let's take the almighty knife. 44 00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:17,097 Little van dyke brown and white mixed together. 45 00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,399 And we'll put some trunks in these almighty trees. 46 00:03:19,499 --> 00:03:23,003 And all we're gonna do is touch and sort of pull a little bit. 47 00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:27,107 Let them get wider as they go down. 48 00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:38,985 And maybe we'll have another trunk hiding back in here somewhere. 49 00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:44,858 Just make all kind of little tree things happen here. 50 00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:47,694 This is sort of different than the paintings we've done 51 00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:50,764 previously because this painting has no magic white on it. 52 00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:54,835 All we do is start with the sap green, completely cover the canvas, work the 53 00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:58,839 Prussian blue from the bottom upward to make it darker in the foreground. 54 00:04:03,443 --> 00:04:07,481 These are the kind of things that we continually look for, 55 00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:11,451 new ideas, new ways of using this fantastic technique. 56 00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:15,355 And these ideas we put out continually to all 57 00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:18,291 the people that enjoy this type of painting. 58 00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:22,362 We have a little quarterly newsletter that we use to put these 59 00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:26,800 ideas out to people so they are current in what's happening. 60 00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:33,340 Okay, let's just have another almighty trunk right down through here. 61 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,779 And maybe we'll highlight these just a little bit with a little plain white. 62 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:45,318 Just think where the light would strike and run through here and have fun. 63 00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:51,725 There we go. 64 00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:55,162 Okay, over on this side now, the light's gonna come 65 00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:58,465 from the opposing direction, opposite direction. 66 00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:01,868 Just a little here and there. 67 00:05:06,406 --> 00:05:07,407 Okay. 68 00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:14,181 Now we'll take a one-inch brush and a little bit of magic white. 69 00:05:14,281 --> 00:05:20,020 And we'll start with some yellow and a touch of phthalo green. 70 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,024 Remember that a thin paint will stick to a thick paint, so we thinned it just a little bit 71 00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:28,128 with a little magic white, and then we just push out all these thousands of little leaves. 72 00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:31,731 There they come. 73 00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,533 There they are. 74 00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:36,503 Isn't that fantastic? 75 00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:38,605 If you're painting along with us, by now you should 76 00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:40,707 begin to have little leaves all over these trees. 77 00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:43,176 Just beautiful little leaves. 78 00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,678 Leave a lot of the dark areas in here. 79 00:05:44,778 --> 00:05:47,247 We don't want to kill all the dark areas. 80 00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:51,218 We need the dark in order to show the light. 81 00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:52,319 There. 82 00:05:54,087 --> 00:06:00,861 Okay, maybe we'll come right down here and drop in another happy little bush. 83 00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:02,762 There they come. 84 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,799 And over in here. 85 00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:08,034 We want this to be the brightest area of the 86 00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:10,370 painting, back here where the light source is. 87 00:06:10,470 --> 00:06:17,177 And as we work forward, we're gonna let it get darker and darker and darker. 88 00:06:17,277 --> 00:06:18,278 Okay. 89 00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:23,650 Maybe a little light coming through right in here. 90 00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:25,719 You put your trunk in before you put the leaves 91 00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:27,787 on, so you have leaves in front of the trunk. 92 00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:34,527 You don't want the trunk sitting on the outside of the tree. 93 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:39,199 There's a nice little bush, there he is. 94 00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:46,740 And maybe over here, this happy little thing growing. 95 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,143 Nature's so fantastic, enjoy it. 96 00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:52,779 Let it make you happy. 97 00:06:54,681 --> 00:06:57,651 Okay, there's another one. 98 00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:03,690 And now I'm gonna go into a little sap green, begin using a little sap green 99 00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:07,994 with this yellow so it begins to get a little bit darker as we work back here. 100 00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:13,800 And we'll put some highlights on this little tree. 101 00:07:17,203 --> 00:07:18,605 There we go. 102 00:07:22,575 --> 00:07:28,114 By now you should begin having the feeling that you're walking through the deep woods 103 00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,617 All the beautiful tree shapes are there. 104 00:07:30,717 --> 00:07:32,218 The little squirrels are hiding in the trees. 105 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,522 The bunny rabbits are behind. 106 00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:36,756 There we go. 107 00:07:36,856 --> 00:07:38,358 Once again, don't kill all this dark area. 108 00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:46,833 You need it to produce distance in the painting. 109 00:07:46,933 --> 00:07:47,934 Okay. 110 00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:51,905 That should give us enough to get started with. 111 00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:54,641 Now we'll take the almighty fan brush 112 00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:59,479 And I'm gonna take a little bit of magic white and a little bit of firm white. 113 00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:03,483 And we'll make, let's have a little waterfall that's happening back here 114 00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:07,554 and maybe a bubbling little stream that's just working its way through. 115 00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:12,625 And so often we avoid running water and running water is a lot of fun. 116 00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:14,294 So here we go. 117 00:08:14,394 --> 00:08:17,530 Pull it over and let it drop if you wanna make a little waterfall. 118 00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:23,803 Then we take the fan brush and push to make some little foamy things happen. 119 00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:27,207 Then we begin building our running water, and we're pushing the fan brush 120 00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:30,744 so that it bends upward and the foam's on the top instead of on the bottom. 121 00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,679 There we are. 122 00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:37,350 Let all these little things just happen. 123 00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:40,954 There we go. 124 00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:43,156 Maybe under the water here, there's a little stone 125 00:08:43,256 --> 00:08:45,525 that's causing the water to sort of just bubble over. 126 00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:51,831 We might not see the stone, but it's under there. 127 00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:56,002 As it comes towards you, let it get wider, bigger, stronger. 128 00:08:56,102 --> 00:09:02,776 More of these little things, these little actions that are happening here. 129 00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,812 All kinds of little churning motions. 130 00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:08,314 And avoid having your waterfall here and your 131 00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,850 stream coming straight through your painting. 132 00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:14,287 Let it sort of wander around. 133 00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:21,194 All these little water actions. 134 00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:22,829 And they all hide here in your fan brush. 135 00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:27,967 All you have to do is sort of push them out. 136 00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:35,708 Okay, good. 137 00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:44,150 Alrighty, maybe, maybe back here in the distance 138 00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:47,954 there's a, we have a little stone back here. 139 00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:53,927 We just use some Van Dyke brown, we'll build us a little stone. 140 00:09:54,027 --> 00:09:57,163 And maybe there's a little stone out here, too. 141 00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:03,970 This is your world, so you put stones wherever you want them. 142 00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:08,808 This painting comes right out of your heart, so just let it sort of flow. 143 00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,910 Let it happen. 144 00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:14,814 Maybe we'll take a little bit of brown and white and least 145 00:10:14,914 --> 00:10:19,285 little touch of blue, just to make sort of a gray color here. 146 00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:24,023 And we can highlight these little stones just like that. 147 00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:30,296 Maybe there's a little ridge coming down through here. 148 00:10:31,698 --> 00:10:34,801 Little sunlight playing across the stones. 149 00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:38,738 And a little dark edge underneath here so that it 150 00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:42,909 has some distance between the water and the stone. 151 00:10:44,077 --> 00:10:46,746 And we take the little fan brush and we'll 152 00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:49,883 splash some water up on the stones here, there. 153 00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:54,988 There we go. 154 00:10:55,088 --> 00:11:02,195 Okay, maybe we'll let this just drift right on down through here. 155 00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:04,030 Maybe right along here, there's another happy 156 00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:05,899 little waterfall that's happening right here. 157 00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:10,703 So you take your fan brush, go straight, and let it just fall over. 158 00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:11,804 Just like so. 159 00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:13,039 Isn't that something? 160 00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:17,277 You can make a waterfall that quick. 161 00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:21,381 Just a small one, we don't wanna have a violent 162 00:11:21,481 --> 00:11:24,484 waterfall here, just a little bitty waterfall. 163 00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:28,721 And then we push to make our little foamy areas 164 00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:32,592 where the waterfall's gonna hit and crash. 165 00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:35,461 There we go. 166 00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:47,774 Okay, now let's take the big brush again and use some sap green and Prussian blue. 167 00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:50,443 It's getting darker as it comes downward. 168 00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:57,116 And we'll throw in some more happy little bushes back here. 169 00:11:57,217 --> 00:12:02,355 You need the dark in order to show the light. 170 00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:08,394 Okay, and maybe over here there's a nice bush too. 171 00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:14,567 Let some of these bushes protrude out over the water. 172 00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:18,404 Okay. 173 00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:22,575 Now we can take a little more of the highlight color. 174 00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:26,779 Some cad yellow, a little bit of phthalo and sap green mixed together. 175 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,850 Let's start back here and push this rock back into the painting. 176 00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:33,253 We'll just put a little bush in front of it. 177 00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:37,056 There we go. 178 00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:40,593 And maybe right here there's some nice little 179 00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:44,163 things that just sort of hang over the water. 180 00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:48,835 Okay, let's do this nice one right here. 181 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,074 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm 182 00:12:57,744 --> 00:13:00,847 There we go, there we go. 183 00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:04,250 You can do it, you can do it. 184 00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:15,528 Just push that waterfall right back into the painting. 185 00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:19,332 Okay, let's, let's take a little more brown here and let's put a little 186 00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:23,636 stone, a little gravel out here for all these nice bushes and stuff to set on. 187 00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:41,421 A little highlight on the stones. 188 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:54,767 And a few little grassy things that grow right on down on the bank here. 189 00:13:56,336 --> 00:14:04,877 Maybe we'll even get daring and put a little stone out here in the water. 190 00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:08,114 Just lay it in with Van Dyke brown, and then 191 00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:11,617 we highlight it with a, sort of the gray color. 192 00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:17,890 There, just let this break, play, just run right across this little stone. 193 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:21,894 Okay, little more of the magic white, little firm white. 194 00:14:21,994 --> 00:14:24,464 Now we're gonna start playing the water around this stone. 195 00:14:24,564 --> 00:14:28,334 Maybe it just comes around like so, and sort of falls 196 00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:32,538 over, splashes a little here, and around the side, down. 197 00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:43,449 All kinds of little actions happening in this. 198 00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:56,095 Little bit of water splashing up against the rocks here. 199 00:14:58,865 --> 00:15:02,969 Okay, now we're getting a nice little stream here. 200 00:15:03,069 --> 00:15:07,273 You can see how it's beginning to pick up the blue that's underneath 201 00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:11,077 here and make this water darker as it comes closer to you. 202 00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:17,083 There we go. 203 00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:28,261 Okay, let's go back to our old big brush here. 204 00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:31,230 Little more blue and sap green. 205 00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:34,667 And we'll project some bushes right up through here now. 206 00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,270 Need a lot of paint in the brush. 207 00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:39,772 More green than blue. 208 00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:47,880 And we'll just let these run right on down like so. 209 00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:58,024 Now we can highlight these with a little yellow, sap green. 210 00:15:58,124 --> 00:16:02,261 We're getting much darker in color now. 211 00:16:02,361 --> 00:16:09,535 There. 212 00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:13,306 Just sort of vary your color tones back and forth a little so they stand out. 213 00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:16,676 Leave the dark areas, that's the only thing you 214 00:16:16,776 --> 00:16:19,846 have to separate all these beautiful bushes. 215 00:16:19,946 --> 00:16:22,114 There's a nice one. 216 00:16:27,086 --> 00:16:30,957 I had a little bush right in here. 217 00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:45,838 Looks like some of the beautiful streams that we have in Alaska. 218 00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:48,808 You walk through the woods, and you listen 219 00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:52,011 to, and you look at, and they make you happy. 220 00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:54,447 They have a beautiful sound to them. 221 00:16:54,547 --> 00:16:58,651 You can almost hear the bubbling and carrying 222 00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:02,488 on as it travels down the creek bed here. 223 00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:06,259 Just with a Van Dyke brown here, we're just adding a few 224 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,596 little sticks here and there that you always have in the woods. 225 00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:20,506 Now we can take a clean knife and just scrape through the dark areas and let the canvas show 226 00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:25,077 through to give the indication of all kind of little sticks and twigs that are growing through here. 227 00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:34,053 There they are. 228 00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:37,957 Just using the point of the knife here. 229 00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:45,998 And these little sticks create tremendous distance in the painting. 230 00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:49,936 So many of the fast painting techniques that I have seen around the country 231 00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:54,106 as I teach this almighty method are very flat, have very little depth to them. 232 00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:05,518 Okay, maybe now, we might as well have some fun here. 233 00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:08,354 Let's take some Van Dyke brown, and let's put 234 00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:11,157 an almighty dead tree right up through here. 235 00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:15,795 You always have dead trees in the woods when you're walking around. 236 00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:16,929 There. 237 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:22,168 Be brave, go right across the waterfall here. 238 00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:27,373 And we'll just lay this in with a knife. 239 00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:32,078 And we're using very thick paint here. 240 00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:34,580 Right across the top. 241 00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:39,652 And let's give him a little friend right beside him here. 242 00:18:39,752 --> 00:18:42,688 This old tree's just about, just about headed. 243 00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:47,727 He's gonna sort of fall over in the stream, be washed away here pretty soon. 244 00:18:47,827 --> 00:18:55,835 But until then, he's still part of the beauty that's ever evident in nature. 245 00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,707 Maybe we'll just make him a little taller. 246 00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:09,148 That way he'll make a bigger splash when he hits the water. 247 00:19:09,248 --> 00:19:11,183 Okay. 248 00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:14,754 Now I'm gonna use the liner brush with a little bit of thin oil 249 00:19:14,854 --> 00:19:18,524 on it, a little yellow and a little permanent red mixed together. 250 00:19:18,624 --> 00:19:22,595 We'll brighten this one up a little touch. 251 00:19:22,695 --> 00:19:30,703 And I'm gonna just go down the side of it here, just highlight him a little. 252 00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:39,311 Need something bright here, so we'll just use this tree. 253 00:19:39,412 --> 00:19:45,117 And let this sort of streak so it looks like bark. 254 00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:56,429 Okay, we'll wash him off. 255 00:19:56,529 --> 00:20:00,533 Now we'll use some more of the thin oil and a little Van Dyke brown 256 00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:04,503 and we'll put a few old branches that are hanging on this tree. 257 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,342 Okay, and with the thin oil, it makes the paint thinner. 258 00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:13,112 So once again, you're working with thin and thick paints. 259 00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:16,515 The thin paint will stick to the thicker paint. 260 00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:19,151 And I recommend you use an oil. 261 00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:24,857 If you use paint thinner, it has a tendency to bleed if you're not very careful. 262 00:20:24,957 --> 00:20:27,593 And the oil makes it much slicker. 263 00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:34,934 There we go. 264 00:20:35,034 --> 00:20:36,535 There we are. 265 00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:40,306 Just a few limbs here and there. 266 00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:45,144 Let's get a little more oil here. 267 00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:49,448 And when you're working this paint in the oil, turn the brush. 268 00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:51,684 That brings it to a nice point. 269 00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:54,954 And you can make all these delicate little limbs and stuff. 270 00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:59,258 Let's put some over here on this one. 271 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,501 At home you have unlimited time. 272 00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:12,538 Here we're limited by our time factor, but you 273 00:21:12,638 --> 00:21:17,209 can put tremendous detail in these paintings. 274 00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:18,944 So we're just trying to give you an idea here. 275 00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:21,514 We're just trying to give you a guide to follow, 276 00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:24,183 to teach you how to use this fantastic technique. 277 00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:28,387 And at home, let your imagination be your guide. 278 00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:33,993 Let your heart take you wherever you want to be. 279 00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:47,139 There, look at all those little limbs, just in a matter of minutes. 280 00:21:47,239 --> 00:21:52,211 Okay, maybe we'll have one coming right through here. 281 00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:54,413 There we go. 282 00:21:54,513 --> 00:21:57,249 Just let them flow off your brush. 283 00:21:57,349 --> 00:22:04,924 And this tree tends to push everything back in the painting, give it more distance. 284 00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:08,427 Maybe there's just an old one hanging sort of here, 285 00:22:08,527 --> 00:22:16,836 There. 286 00:22:16,936 --> 00:22:17,303 There we go. 287 00:22:17,403 --> 00:22:21,073 Okay, take a little touch more of the highlight color, that's 288 00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:24,910 yellow with a touch of permanent red, and a little oil in it. 289 00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:29,748 And we'll just highlight some of these major limbs here. 290 00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:34,587 Just let the brush flow right down the limb. 291 00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:38,490 If you have a problem with maybe your hand's not steady enough to 292 00:22:38,591 --> 00:22:42,695 do this, use your palette or something to sort of balance your hand. 293 00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:47,900 I was very fortunate, I was blessed with a very steady hand. 294 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,008 And it comes in very handy when you're doing these little delicate things. 295 00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:05,484 Okay, maybe a few little highlights over here. 296 00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:10,089 There we go. 297 00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:18,264 Just sort of work all this together. 298 00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:25,537 Little bit right up here. 299 00:23:27,373 --> 00:23:30,910 Okay, clean out the brush here. 300 00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:34,179 And let's see. 301 00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:36,415 What do we need here? 302 00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:40,953 I'm gonna pull this down just a little bit to make it look a little, there we go. 303 00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:43,923 A little more of a cliff right here. 304 00:23:44,023 --> 00:23:45,991 Stone, very dark. 305 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,038 Maybe right over in here we'll build a nice little stone right here too. 306 00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:06,178 We have one in the water, maybe we need one over here. 307 00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:11,383 This is straight Van Dyke brown again. 308 00:24:11,483 --> 00:24:19,024 And we'll take a little touch of the blue and the brown and white. 309 00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:31,203 Okay, just lay this on and very gently, just let the paint break. 310 00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:34,506 It's a very, very gentle touch. 311 00:24:34,606 --> 00:24:37,242 Super gentle touch. 312 00:24:37,343 --> 00:24:40,879 You almost let the knife touch. 313 00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:47,553 And now we'll take a little more of the magic white, a little green and yellow, mix it 314 00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:51,590 together, we'll make some little bushes here to come up and protrude over the stone. 315 00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:58,797 You need a thin paint to go over the top of this very thick paint that you've put on. 316 00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:00,733 So, there we go. 317 00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:11,677 And we'll put some little grassy areas around the tree's foots. 318 00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:17,149 Alrighty. 319 00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:34,299 And we wanna splash that back up on the stone here, like so. 320 00:25:36,235 --> 00:25:40,039 Good, I think we just about have our little stream finished today. 321 00:25:40,139 --> 00:25:43,442 And if you're painting along with us, you should have 322 00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,811 Just about completed this painting. 323 00:25:45,911 --> 00:25:48,047 I might put a few little touches here and there. 324 00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:51,950 As I say, at home you have time to put in tremendous detail, you can 325 00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:55,888 work and carry on and build all kind of happy little things in here. 326 00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:59,825 Here we're limited by the amount of time we have, so we're 327 00:25:59,925 --> 00:26:04,630 just trying to show you the basic technique, the basic idea. 328 00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:12,871 Need a little highlight on this little dead one that's laying right out through here. 329 00:26:12,971 --> 00:26:18,243 Maybe some little sticks here and there. 330 00:26:18,343 --> 00:26:22,247 A little brighter color so they show up. 331 00:26:22,347 --> 00:26:26,919 There's one right in front of the stone. 332 00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:38,230 Okay, I think we'll just take a little thin oil, 333 00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:41,300 permanent red here, and we'll sign this painting. 334 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,435 A little more oil. 335 00:26:45,804 --> 00:26:48,273 And I hope you've enjoyed this. 336 00:26:48,373 --> 00:26:50,042 This is sort of a new idea. 337 00:26:50,142 --> 00:26:54,179 As I say, we've used no magic white on this canvas, just pure sap green. 338 00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:55,848 And this will work in a multitude of colors. 339 00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:59,418 You can paint the canvas with blue, with combinations of colors, and 340 00:26:59,518 --> 00:27:02,955 make some of the most fantastic little paintings you've ever seen. 341 00:27:03,055 --> 00:27:05,457 One of the prettiest ones is to paint it with Van 342 00:27:05,557 --> 00:27:08,293 Dyke brown and make beautiful autumn scenes out of it. 343 00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:10,562 And the brown is picked up by the yellows and 344 00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:12,931 oranges and reds and just, it just stands out. 345 00:27:13,031 --> 00:27:15,567 Fantastic painting. 346 00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,269 Okay. 347 00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:20,239 We'll just sign this one. 348 00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:28,113 There we go. 349 00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:38,857 There we go. 350 00:27:38,957 --> 00:27:42,060 And we'll call that painting finished. 351 00:27:42,161 --> 00:27:46,131 Once again, I hope you've painted along with us and you've enjoyed this picture. 352 00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:47,699 It is a lot of fun. 353 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:51,870 And we hope to see you again next time and we'll do another happy little painting. 354 00:27:51,970 --> 00:27:57,442 Until then, from all of us here, happy painting. 354 00:27:58,305 --> 00:28:58,576 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm
