"The Joy of Painting" Winter Glow

1 00:00:00,434 --> 00:00:02,336 Hello, glad to see you again today. 2 00:00:02,436 --> 00:00:06,106 Thought today we'd do a happy little picture, maybe with the 3 00:00:06,206 --> 00:00:10,844 sunshine in the winter, and just see what we can develop from there. 4 00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:14,448 So let's start out here with just a little touch. 5 00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:17,150 Of permanent red mixed with a little bit of yellow. 6 00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:20,654 And I'm gonna put the sun in here, so we're gonna start 7 00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:23,957 right in the center of where we want the sun to be. 8 00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:27,394 And this will end up being the aura that's around the sun. 9 00:00:27,494 --> 00:00:31,932 And I've already prepared the canvas with magic white, so it's nice and wet. 10 00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:36,003 Now we're just gonna start with little X patterns here. 11 00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:40,908 And we want this to get darker and darker and darker as it works out. 12 00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:45,212 Here I'm using a little bit of alizarin crimson and white. 13 00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:45,612 Perfect. 14 00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:47,814 Work your brush back and forth, keep it moving. 15 00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:51,351 It's much, much easier to blend these colors when 16 00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:54,821 they're like this than in drawing a big circle. 17 00:00:54,922 --> 00:00:57,624 Now we'll take a little bit of Alizarin 18 00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,994 Crimson with a touch of Prussian Blue into it. 19 00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:05,566 Make sort of a, like a lavender color. 20 00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:07,034 There we go. 21 00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:11,672 And just work it around. 22 00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:19,713 Okay, see how that just comes right together? 23 00:01:19,813 --> 00:01:27,821 And let's put just a little touch of this pink running right down like so. 24 00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:32,759 And we'll just bring all this together. 25 00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:39,766 Maybe a little bit in here, maybe we'll have a little touch of water. 26 00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:43,537 Okay, now let's go into a mixture of Van Dyke 27 00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:47,608 brown, Prussian blue, and a little bit of white. 28 00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:51,411 To give us a gray effect, and we'll work that also starting from here and 29 00:01:51,511 --> 00:01:55,716 working downwards so that it gets lighter and lighter as it gets toward the sun. 30 00:01:57,918 --> 00:02:00,287 Too many times in paintings we try to avoid the 31 00:02:00,387 --> 00:02:02,789 sun, and the sun's a beautiful thing to paint. 32 00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:05,192 It's part of nature, you see it just about every day. 33 00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:09,062 Sometimes we don't see it every day, but just about. 34 00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:12,766 Okay, now we'll take the almighty brush here, and we're gonna begin 35 00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:17,170 hypnotizing this, and do it in little X strokes, back and forth, there we go. 36 00:02:21,074 --> 00:02:24,411 And we just wanna blend this color out so it's a nice, 37 00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:27,881 even distribution of color by the time we're finished. 38 00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:33,820 Always working with a clean brush from the lightest area outward. 39 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:34,921 Okay. 40 00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:45,265 And it's beginning to come together now. 41 00:02:45,365 --> 00:02:48,869 And while the brush is dirty, we'll go ahead and put in a little bit of water. 42 00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:55,175 And I'm using the same gray that I used in the sky. 43 00:02:55,275 --> 00:02:57,110 And you don't want to cover up this area if you 44 00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:59,312 want a nice pink reflection coming across the water. 45 00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:03,183 You want to leave this area open. 46 00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:09,256 And we'll bring this across. 47 00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:14,361 And gently hypnotize it. 48 00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:17,230 Okay. 49 00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:23,036 We'll clean the almighty brush out here a little bit. 50 00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:27,007 Now you can work this as many times as you want, but the big 51 00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:31,111 thing is to always start with a clean brush and work outward. 52 00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,716 Okay, there we go. 53 00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:38,885 So you just have a nice gradual blending of color. 54 00:03:38,985 --> 00:03:43,457 And we'll hypnotize it a little. 55 00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:47,761 Now we'll take a one-inch brush, fill it full of titanium white. 56 00:03:47,861 --> 00:03:50,664 And we're going straight into the canvas, and we're gonna 57 00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:53,700 push very hard, just push this value right into the canvas. 58 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,003 Like so. 59 00:03:57,104 --> 00:03:59,973 And if you wanna give some little indications of 60 00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:03,243 sunlight, you can just gently put a few of these in. 61 00:04:03,343 --> 00:04:06,279 Just here and there. 62 00:04:06,379 --> 00:04:07,581 Okay. 63 00:04:07,681 --> 00:04:10,584 Now we'll take out all the excess loose paint. 64 00:04:10,684 --> 00:04:13,687 The value remains in the canvas. 65 00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:16,757 Now we can hypnotize that. 66 00:04:18,325 --> 00:04:21,561 And we don't want these to be bright and distinct. 67 00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:29,636 They'll still show, even though you hypnotize them over and over and over. 68 00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:36,710 Okay. 69 00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:45,252 Okay, now if you got that done, we can move right along here. 70 00:04:45,352 --> 00:04:48,955 We'll take a little bit of the alizarin 71 00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:53,627 crimson, a little blue, mix it together here. 72 00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:57,364 And we're just gonna make an indication of some nice 73 00:04:57,464 --> 00:05:01,701 little hills and mountains way back here in the background. 74 00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:04,004 There we go. 75 00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:05,172 Just lay them on with a knife. 76 00:05:05,272 --> 00:05:07,874 We're using very, very little paint. 77 00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,944 Scrape off all the excess. 78 00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:20,720 And we'll just let it run right on out. 79 00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:27,961 Okay, with a big brush, we'll pull that down. 80 00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:33,133 And with a large brush like this, you can make all of your 81 00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:37,504 highlights and shadows in the mountain just by using brush strokes. 82 00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:43,009 And we're not gonna worry about highlighting 83 00:05:43,109 --> 00:05:46,112 this with white like we normally do. 84 00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:51,585 We just want sort of a silhouette back here. 85 00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:51,685 Okay. 86 00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:58,692 Now we'll take a little bit of the grayish color, maybe just a touch more brown. 87 00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:02,562 And we're gonna put in some little foothills that are way back here. 88 00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:07,567 Just take the big brush and tap the canvas. 89 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,074 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm 90 00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,282 And we'll take a little bit of that same color and pull downward. 91 00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:25,952 This will make our reflections. 92 00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:37,831 And I'm gonna lift it slightly upward just to give it the 93 00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:42,269 appearance of little trees way back in the distance, far, far away. 94 00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:52,078 Okay. 95 00:06:52,178 --> 00:07:00,153 Okay, now we'll just hypnotize this just a little bit to give it a watery effect. 96 00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:10,096 Now a little bit of magic white, a little bit of magic white. 97 00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:15,068 And to it I'm gonna add just a little bit of pink. 98 00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:17,270 That's a little too much, so we'll just tone it down. 99 00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:21,341 There we go, that's better. 100 00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,376 And we'll cut us a little waterline back here. 101 00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:25,345 We don't want this to be bright and distinct. 102 00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:33,453 We just want a gentle little waterline to break up these two dark areas. 103 00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:37,090 And act just like you're trying to cut right through the canvas. 104 00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:40,360 Go straight into the canvas. 105 00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,570 And already you have the impression of a beautiful sun, 106 00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:54,107 little hills in the background, foothills in the foreground. 107 00:07:54,207 --> 00:07:57,844 Now let's come forward and see what we can make. 108 00:07:57,944 --> 00:08:01,047 I think we'll take a little alizarin crimson 109 00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:04,017 and a touch of sap green mixed together. 110 00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:06,319 Make a very warm brown color here. 111 00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:09,656 And we'll use the almighty fan brush. 112 00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:12,625 And let's come down and let's just have some 113 00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:15,362 little grassy areas right along in here. 114 00:08:15,462 --> 00:08:16,830 There we go. 115 00:08:21,101 --> 00:08:24,971 Now when you're doing this at home, if you find that you end up with a bunch 116 00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:29,109 of smiley faces because the fan brush is curved, use the corner of the brush. 117 00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:33,747 Just use the corner. 118 00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:37,951 Don't end up with a picture full of smiley faces all at one time. 119 00:08:38,051 --> 00:08:43,323 It's supposed to make you happy, but we don't want to show all the smiley faces. 120 00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:48,128 Okay, now we'll take some titanium white, 121 00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:55,235 And begin laying in a little snow here. 122 00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:58,571 And the angle that you lay this in is very important. 123 00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:03,443 We want this to show a little hill coming down, a little gradual decline. 124 00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:08,281 So we're gonna pull it in that direction. 125 00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:11,251 And let your paint break. 126 00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:16,689 So you have all these open spots and the 127 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:21,027 color we put here ends up being your shadows. 128 00:09:25,632 --> 00:09:27,400 Okay. 129 00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:31,404 Then we can work the little grassy areas right into that. 130 00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:37,877 And you have those travel with the lay of the land also. 131 00:09:39,145 --> 00:09:43,383 Let them sort of flow down like that. 132 00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:46,519 Okay. 133 00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:51,691 Let's clean off a little spot to work here. 134 00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,694 And we'll make some almighty trees. 135 00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:58,832 Just wanna take some Van Dyke Brown, Prussian Blue, little 136 00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:03,636 Phthalo Green, and a little touch of Alizarin Crimson. 137 00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:09,309 You want a very dark color, it should look black. 138 00:10:11,244 --> 00:10:14,481 And let's see here, we're gonna load the brush full of paint. 139 00:10:14,581 --> 00:10:22,355 And let's put a happy little tree, let's see, let's see, right here. 140 00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:27,193 And we sort of just touch the canvas to give 141 00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:30,330 us a guide, and then we're gonna push upward. 142 00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:35,001 We'll make a little different kind of tree today. 143 00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:36,236 Just push. 144 00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:46,646 Okay, let's give him a little friend right here. 145 00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:48,114 And we push. 146 00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:56,089 Just push those limbs right out of the brush. 147 00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:02,162 And maybe we'll put some nice little snow-covered bushes in here too. 148 00:11:02,262 --> 00:11:03,563 So we'll just lay those in. 149 00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:07,600 You need the dark in order to show the light, so put your 150 00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:11,671 dark color in so the light'll show up when we put it on. 151 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:20,847 Okay, now we'll just cut through the paint and 152 00:11:20,947 --> 00:11:25,084 give some little trunk indications here and there. 153 00:11:28,221 --> 00:11:32,258 Now we'll take a little bit of magic white and we'll mix that with firm 154 00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:36,229 white and a little touch of the blue that we used to make the tree. 155 00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,634 And we'll highlight this tree. 156 00:11:41,734 --> 00:11:47,106 And we see our light source, so we just push. 157 00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:53,846 We want this side of the tree to be a little bit brighter. 158 00:12:10,163 --> 00:12:12,131 Okay, now let's highlight some of these bushes. 159 00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:16,336 I'm gonna take a little bit of Magic White with the Firm White, little 160 00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:20,240 touch of Permanent Red, just so it sets off a little bit better. 161 00:12:21,641 --> 00:12:27,146 Okay, now we'll push off some nice little snow-covered bushes. 162 00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:35,788 It's a very gentle touch, just enough to get the paint to come off the brush. 163 00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:41,961 Okay, here's a nice bush, we'll put some snow on him. 164 00:12:45,531 --> 00:12:48,601 When you're doing this, try to do one bush at a time 165 00:12:48,701 --> 00:12:51,638 and have him finish before you go to another one. 166 00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:57,377 Otherwise, they'll just sort of run together and you'll lose track of them. 167 00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,212 Okay, then we put a few little stems here and there. 168 00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:05,118 All we're doing is cutting right through the paint. 169 00:13:12,992 --> 00:13:13,993 Okay. 170 00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:21,868 Let's have some snow coming this way. 171 00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:25,638 We'll change these angles a little bit so 172 00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:30,610 that we have different planes in this picture. 173 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:36,516 And maybe we'll bring that down just a little more. 174 00:13:38,918 --> 00:13:46,359 And we'll have a little angle coming right down like that, there. 175 00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:51,964 Okay, seems like I remember there was a old farmer that used to live 176 00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:56,536 here and he built a barn right here, so let's put a nice barn here. 177 00:13:56,636 --> 00:13:59,806 And it's better to sort of scrape it out to get all 178 00:13:59,906 --> 00:14:03,042 the loose paint off so the other paint will stick. 179 00:14:03,142 --> 00:14:05,611 It's also a nice way to lay it out. 180 00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:08,848 Give you an idea of your perspective and what you're doing. 181 00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:10,917 Just basic shape. 182 00:14:17,724 --> 00:14:25,732 Okay, so we'll take a little Van Dyke brown and let's lay this eve here in, like so. 183 00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:28,534 There. 184 00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:35,475 And we'll put some snow on the roof. 185 00:14:35,575 --> 00:14:38,311 Just come down and let it drop. 186 00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:42,315 We wanna give it the indication that it's sort 187 00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:46,419 of one of these roofs that come over and drop. 188 00:14:49,055 --> 00:14:55,461 And we'll firm that back edge up, over, down, over, down. 189 00:14:55,561 --> 00:15:02,635 These strokes are very important to make it look like the roof has an angle in it. 190 00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:05,571 Okay. 191 00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:10,476 We'll put some wood in here, just like so. 192 00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,116 There we go. 193 00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:29,429 And some over here, gotta have a side on the barn, don't want the cows to get out. 194 00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:42,842 Okay, now, let's put a little bit of snow on the other side of the roof over here. 195 00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:45,678 And we can firm this up. 196 00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:55,888 And maybe a little bit right along through here. 197 00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:05,965 Little more Van Dyke brown and we can lay some shadows in there. 198 00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:08,935 There. 199 00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:13,840 Okay, tell you what, let's give him a little shed out here. 200 00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:21,013 Farmer always needs more room, so we'll put him a little shed. 201 00:16:22,882 --> 00:16:25,751 Little more of the brown. 202 00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:29,522 See how easy that is? 203 00:16:29,622 --> 00:16:34,360 Just let it happen. 204 00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:41,767 Then we need a little place for him to put the hay up here. 205 00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:44,170 And you can create any kind of barn you want here. 206 00:16:44,270 --> 00:16:48,274 It's just a matter of working with a knife, letting it happen, 207 00:16:48,374 --> 00:16:52,278 and having something inside that you want to put on canvas. 208 00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:07,927 Okay, let's put a nice bush here and push him back into the bushes. 209 00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:11,664 Maybe this old farmer, maybe he took up drinking a little bit too much. 210 00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:14,433 You know, we all have that problem sometimes. 211 00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:20,540 And the woods are sort of creeping up and fixing to eat up his barn. 212 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,043 Okay, we'll take a little more of the titanium and magic mixed together. 213 00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:27,914 And we'll put some highlights on these bushes. 214 00:17:28,014 --> 00:17:29,382 There we go. 215 00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:39,492 And here and there we have some more of the little weeds that are growing around. 216 00:17:39,592 --> 00:17:44,764 Just use the corner of the fan brush to make friends with it. 217 00:17:44,864 --> 00:17:52,038 Maybe there's some growing right along the edge of this little hill. 218 00:17:52,138 --> 00:17:54,607 Okay. 219 00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:59,845 Now then, let's put an almighty tree in here. 220 00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,885 Let's come right along in here, big tree. 221 00:18:05,985 --> 00:18:10,222 He just goes right on off the canvas. 222 00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:22,568 There we go, now we're getting some size to it. 223 00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:49,962 Now we can take and put some highlights on here. 224 00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:54,033 A little bit of the magic, a little titanium, 225 00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:58,070 and then we're gonna put some blue on there. 226 00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:02,341 I want this to look cold. 227 00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:06,245 This picture should have both warmth and coldness in it, because 228 00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:10,449 we have the sun with all the warm colors coming right through here. 229 00:19:11,584 --> 00:19:13,719 So, let's do this. 230 00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:19,792 We'll just put some nice little highlights here. 231 00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:25,498 Just let the light bounce through there and play. 232 00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:37,176 Okay. 233 00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:41,547 Now we can continue with our snow here a little more. 234 00:19:41,647 --> 00:19:47,920 And let's bring this one, have a different plane coming down through here. 235 00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:51,557 Just let it come right through. 236 00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:07,339 Okay. 237 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,910 Just let that knife run right down in the angle 238 00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:14,613 that you want to show that your land is flowing. 239 00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:18,250 And try to let the paint break. 240 00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:25,825 Okay. 241 00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:32,732 Let's take, and maybe we have a few more little 242 00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:36,802 bushes in here that are growing down the hill. 243 00:20:39,205 --> 00:20:42,174 And we just push these in. 244 00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:45,044 Like so. 245 00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:57,156 Okay, a little more of the magic. 246 00:20:57,256 --> 00:21:01,060 Remember, thin paint will stick to thick paint, 247 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,397 so you need to thin your paint just a little bit. 248 00:21:05,498 --> 00:21:09,602 Okay, maybe just a little touch more. 249 00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:15,775 And we'll put a nice little bush standing right here. 250 00:21:26,552 --> 00:21:32,458 Okay, maybe another one right along here, there we go. 251 00:21:32,558 --> 00:21:36,428 Just sort of let your imagination wander around, wherever you think 252 00:21:36,529 --> 00:21:40,966 there might be a little bush or tree, put it in, this is your world. 253 00:21:41,066 --> 00:21:45,171 Okay, maybe we'll take, put in some little trunks here of a little 254 00:21:45,271 --> 00:21:49,074 tree that just about has nothing on it, just the trunk left. 255 00:21:54,246 --> 00:21:59,618 Old man Winter's taking all of his leaves away. 256 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,090 You know, in Alaska we have, in the winter, ice fog, 257 00:22:05,191 --> 00:22:08,794 which settles on every little branch, everything. 258 00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:09,662 Oh, it's so beautiful. 259 00:22:09,762 --> 00:22:12,131 It just looks so pretty. 260 00:22:12,231 --> 00:22:16,101 It's almost like something out of a fairy tale book. 261 00:22:16,202 --> 00:22:19,839 This is probably one of the reasons I paint so many 262 00:22:19,939 --> 00:22:23,776 winter pictures, is in Alaska we see a lot of winter. 263 00:22:23,876 --> 00:22:27,213 It's a good way to learn how to use the equipment. 264 00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:31,383 And we're trying to give you ideas here, trying 265 00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:35,321 to teach you a technique and how to use it. 266 00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:37,556 There. 267 00:22:37,656 --> 00:22:43,395 Maybe another little thing coming up through here. 268 00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:45,231 Okay. 269 00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:49,168 Now maybe this old farmer, before he left the farm, maybe he 270 00:22:49,268 --> 00:22:53,339 had a fence that went right along here and to keep the cow in. 271 00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:56,408 And make up these little stories as you paint. 272 00:22:56,508 --> 00:22:59,712 It really helps give you ideas, it makes your 273 00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:03,883 imagination work, and imagination is the key to painting. 274 00:23:03,983 --> 00:23:06,352 What to paint is much, much harder than how to paint it. 275 00:23:06,452 --> 00:23:14,627 And we've showed you how to paint it, now the imagination comes from you. 276 00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:19,465 And maybe we can see the top of one more little post right there. 277 00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:23,168 Okay, we'll take a little bit of color, a little white, 278 00:23:23,269 --> 00:23:27,473 And we'll put a little highlight on these. 279 00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:28,340 Just like so. 280 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,441 Okay. 281 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,481 And a little snow laying on top. 282 00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:43,589 And let's have a wire running along these fence posts. 283 00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:48,127 It just comes right on down. 284 00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:50,596 Like so. 285 00:23:50,696 --> 00:23:54,800 And all we've done here is just literally scratched through the paint. 286 00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:55,901 Okay. 287 00:23:57,136 --> 00:24:01,006 And you know, they always have a few little bushes that grow around the post. 288 00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:04,743 When you're cutting the grass, you can't get up next to the 289 00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:08,647 post to cut it, so you usually always have some around here. 290 00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:12,785 And maybe with just a touch of very, very light blue, very light, 291 00:24:12,885 --> 00:24:17,423 we can just put some little indications of shadows back here. 292 00:24:17,523 --> 00:24:19,558 Just a little bit. 293 00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:32,104 Okay, now let's put some highlights on the little bushes. 294 00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:32,738 There we go. 295 00:24:32,838 --> 00:24:39,044 And looky there. 296 00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:45,284 Just make those sparkle in the sun. 297 00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:50,556 Okay. 298 00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:54,460 And here and there a few more little weeds sticking through the snow. 299 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,329 And you can sort of fix it up now 300 00:24:57,429 --> 00:24:59,765 But don't piddle it to death. 301 00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:00,766 Don't keep playing with it. 302 00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:04,737 One of the hardest things is when do I stop? 303 00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:06,338 Do I go a little bit farther? 304 00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:10,142 And you can sit and look at a picture long enough that you're gonna find something else you wanna 305 00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:14,013 do and you're gonna piddle it and piddle it and pretty soon all you're gonna have is a happy mess. 306 00:25:14,113 --> 00:25:16,615 So learn when to stop. 307 00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:28,660 Just a few little sticks here and there. 308 00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:38,003 And let's put just a little touch of highlight on this. 309 00:25:38,103 --> 00:25:45,144 A little happy sunlight shining through there. 310 00:25:45,244 --> 00:25:45,411 There we go. 311 00:25:45,511 --> 00:25:48,914 See what you can do in just a matter of a few minutes? 312 00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:52,751 And we knew you could do it. 313 00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:54,086 Okay. 314 00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:58,157 And when you do this at home, you have unlimited time, and you can take 315 00:25:58,257 --> 00:26:02,661 and put a lot more detail into it, you can work out a lot of things. 316 00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:06,231 Here we're just trying to give you an idea in 30 minutes. 317 00:26:06,331 --> 00:26:08,333 I think I'll just sign this. 318 00:26:08,434 --> 00:26:12,271 We'll use a thin oil, a little bit of color on it, 319 00:26:12,371 --> 00:26:16,408 till we get it just about the consistency of water. 320 00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:18,877 Very, very thin. 321 00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:25,617 And with that thin, you can just take and write your name. 322 00:26:26,852 --> 00:26:34,827 It takes as long to write your name as it does to paint the picture, nearly. 323 00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:39,264 Okay. 324 00:26:39,364 --> 00:26:42,601 Maybe a little more paint right there. 325 00:26:42,701 --> 00:26:46,638 And we advise that you date your paintings so in years to come, as you look at them, 326 00:26:46,738 --> 00:26:50,709 or as your grandchildren look at them, you can tell what year this was painted in. 327 00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:57,249 It brings back a lot of happy memories. 328 00:26:57,349 --> 00:27:04,690 And we'll take just a little more of the oil and put with a little bit of brown. 329 00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:08,460 And maybe we'll put, there, see? 330 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,730 Because this is a thin, slick paint, you can go 331 00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:15,200 right over the other paint without messing it up. 332 00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:18,370 Add in a few little sticks. 333 00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:30,449 And just moving right along. 334 00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:32,484 Okay, now see I told you not to piddle it and I'm 335 00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,720 sitting here and I'm starting to piddle it to death. 336 00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:38,423 So I think we'll just lay the brush down and call that one finished. 337 00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:41,360 And we hope you have enjoyed the almighty sun, 338 00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:44,596 the barn, the beautiful painting we've done today. 339 00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:46,031 And you can do it too. 340 00:27:46,131 --> 00:27:50,235 Until we meet again, happy painting. 341 00:27:55,374 --> 00:28:00,979
