"The Joy of Painting" Shades of Grey

1 00:00:01,347 --> 00:00:03,720 Alright, here we are ready to go again. 2 00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:07,692 You know, just recently I was doing a demonstration in a mall and I had a 3 00:00:07,716 --> 00:00:11,770 man come to me and he said, Bob, I can never paint because I'm color blind. 4 00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:14,073 All I can see is gray tones. 5 00:00:14,123 --> 00:00:16,324 So I thought today we'd do a picture in 6 00:00:16,348 --> 00:00:18,859 gray just to show you that anyone can paint. 7 00:00:18,909 --> 00:00:24,045 So, what I've done here, I've mixed up a great big batch of blue and brown. 8 00:00:24,095 --> 00:00:27,615 Probably about 1 3rd blue to 2 3rds brown to give 9 00:00:27,639 --> 00:00:30,893 you a rough idea of what the mixture is here. 10 00:00:30,943 --> 00:00:34,017 And all we'll use is this gray color and white. 11 00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:36,680 I have the other colors on my palette only because I 12 00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:39,544 was too lazy to clean my palette before we started this. 13 00:00:39,594 --> 00:00:42,161 So I've already applied some magic white to the 14 00:00:42,185 --> 00:00:44,610 canvas to help speed things up a little bit. 15 00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:48,555 So let's take the almighty brush here and we'll take a little bit of this 16 00:00:48,579 --> 00:00:52,660 gray color out, beat it into the bristles, really work it into the bristles. 17 00:00:53,035 --> 00:00:55,447 And let's start with an almighty sky here. 18 00:00:55,497 --> 00:00:58,891 Just let it work around and play. 19 00:00:58,941 --> 00:01:00,292 Great big things happening here. 20 00:01:00,342 --> 00:01:03,655 Just let them fall right out of your brush. 21 00:01:03,705 --> 00:01:05,357 Keep that brush moving. 22 00:01:05,407 --> 00:01:07,464 Circular patterns. 23 00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:10,412 Just let it play. 24 00:01:11,092 --> 00:01:12,509 Maybe we'll put a little bit more paint. 25 00:01:12,533 --> 00:01:16,647 Maybe we'll come right over in here. 26 00:01:17,078 --> 00:01:18,449 There we go. 27 00:01:20,421 --> 00:01:22,592 Just let that work. 28 00:01:23,275 --> 00:01:26,789 We'll have a light source right in here. 29 00:01:26,839 --> 00:01:29,171 We'll have some light coming through there. 30 00:01:29,221 --> 00:01:30,859 Maybe we'll do some almighty mountains today. 31 00:01:30,883 --> 00:01:35,317 We haven't done mountains in the past couple weeks, so I think it's time. 32 00:01:35,367 --> 00:01:38,452 Now, we'll clean the brush. 33 00:01:39,271 --> 00:01:40,756 There we are. 34 00:01:40,993 --> 00:01:44,993 Shake off the excess paint thinner. 35 00:01:49,081 --> 00:01:49,543 Okay. 36 00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:51,359 Now, gentle swirling motions here. 37 00:01:51,409 --> 00:01:54,703 We're gonna begin blending the sky together. 38 00:01:54,753 --> 00:01:56,124 Very gentle. 39 00:01:56,275 --> 00:01:57,746 Just let it work. 40 00:01:57,796 --> 00:01:59,167 Let it play. 41 00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:04,834 Let these little things just fall around, fly around, have fun. 42 00:02:04,884 --> 00:02:11,207 There. 43 00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:14,611 And let's begin pulling them like this, just to 44 00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:18,329 give an indication of light slipping through there. 45 00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:19,750 There we go. 46 00:02:20,701 --> 00:02:24,358 We'll work on this one a little. 47 00:02:27,994 --> 00:02:29,987 Just let that brush continually go in circles. 48 00:02:30,037 --> 00:02:33,112 That's probably the biggest suggestion I can give you that will help you. 49 00:02:33,162 --> 00:02:35,697 Let it continually go in circles. 50 00:02:35,747 --> 00:02:38,942 Otherwise, it'll look like it's raining up. 51 00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:42,306 We don't want that to happen. 52 00:02:43,019 --> 00:02:49,647 Okay, now we're just gently blending it together a little. 53 00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:56,031 Fan brush, and I'm gonna take a little bit of this gray color on the fan brush. 54 00:02:56,055 --> 00:02:58,168 Very, very little color. 55 00:02:58,218 --> 00:03:00,051 Very little color. 56 00:03:00,101 --> 00:03:01,880 And let's put a few little happy clouds in here. 57 00:03:01,904 --> 00:03:03,937 They're a little bit more distinct. 58 00:03:03,987 --> 00:03:07,002 And that'll push everything else back. 59 00:03:07,052 --> 00:03:09,225 Once again, circular pattern. 60 00:03:09,275 --> 00:03:12,991 Always try to do this in little circles. 61 00:03:13,041 --> 00:03:14,412 There we go. 62 00:03:15,184 --> 00:03:21,355 And just let these little clouds float around the sky. 63 00:03:21,687 --> 00:03:29,687 And now we'll take the big brush and very gently blend out the back of it. 64 00:03:30,835 --> 00:03:31,412 There we go. 65 00:03:31,436 --> 00:03:36,190 We'll fluff it up a little bit and then blend it together. 66 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,814 Maybe a little more gray and we'll put another little cloud. 67 00:03:39,864 --> 00:03:42,035 Just right in here. 68 00:03:44,528 --> 00:03:46,013 There we are. 69 00:03:48,592 --> 00:03:51,563 Just let him float around. 70 00:03:53,024 --> 00:03:56,109 Fluff him up, blend him in. 71 00:03:58,192 --> 00:03:59,710 Okay. 72 00:03:59,734 --> 00:04:04,311 And that gives us a pretty nice little sky. 73 00:04:04,361 --> 00:04:08,577 And I thought today we'd do some fantastic mountains. 74 00:04:08,627 --> 00:04:11,712 Everybody enjoys mountains. 75 00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:15,031 So let's start here, and we'll just use 76 00:04:15,055 --> 00:04:18,172 this same gray mixture, this blue and brown. 77 00:04:18,222 --> 00:04:26,222 And let's go right over here and drop in a fantastic big ol' mountain. 78 00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,790 And wander around, there. 79 00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:36,897 Very little paint, we take off all the excess paint. 80 00:04:36,947 --> 00:04:39,321 Scrape that canvas hard. 81 00:04:39,371 --> 00:04:45,091 All you want to remain on there is the value, what's been pushed into the canvas. 82 00:04:45,141 --> 00:04:49,138 Now with a large brush, we'll pull that down. 83 00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:50,559 There we go. 84 00:04:50,931 --> 00:04:56,416 Already we begin to have a basic mountain shape. 85 00:05:03,325 --> 00:05:05,277 Alrighty, now we'll highlight that mountain. 86 00:05:05,327 --> 00:05:10,524 Here, I'll take some white, just titanium white. 87 00:05:10,574 --> 00:05:13,506 Let's have our light coming from the right, so 88 00:05:13,530 --> 00:05:16,871 we'll put a little highlight, oh, maybe right there. 89 00:05:16,921 --> 00:05:18,292 There we go. 90 00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:22,678 Maybe a little touch right up in here somewhere. 91 00:05:22,728 --> 00:05:28,670 And then light's gonna strike right along this edge. 92 00:05:31,675 --> 00:05:33,575 Now for the shadow color, since we have nothing else, 93 00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:35,669 we'll just take a little gray and white, make it a little 94 00:05:35,693 --> 00:05:37,909 bit darker than what we have up there for the highlight, 95 00:05:37,933 --> 00:05:40,053 but a little lighter than the darkest color on there. 96 00:05:43,595 --> 00:05:44,553 So somewhere in between. 97 00:05:44,577 --> 00:05:50,116 Now, very gently, we'll begin pulling shadows in here. 98 00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:54,166 Follow the contour of the mountain. 99 00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:56,439 There you go. 100 00:05:58,102 --> 00:06:05,700 There it comes, just let that old paint break as it pulls down there. 101 00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:07,561 Okay, a little bit over here. 102 00:06:07,611 --> 00:06:10,589 I think we've mentioned this before, but you 103 00:06:10,613 --> 00:06:13,888 need to have a very, very firm paint to do this. 104 00:06:13,938 --> 00:06:17,348 If you have a thin, oily paint, you're really gonna get 105 00:06:17,372 --> 00:06:21,055 into some problem areas, because you'll become a mud mixer. 106 00:06:21,105 --> 00:06:25,905 You need a paint that's strong, firm, dry. 107 00:06:28,882 --> 00:06:32,276 Okay, we'll give this one a little shadow right there. 108 00:06:32,326 --> 00:06:36,211 So he stands out as an individual. 109 00:06:38,812 --> 00:06:39,812 Okay. 110 00:06:40,975 --> 00:06:42,686 Just bring this on down. 111 00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:47,772 Let your imagination just wander around when you're doing these things. 112 00:06:47,822 --> 00:06:53,738 Now, with a clean, dry brush, we'll just lay some mist down here by tapping. 113 00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,561 Just tap the bottom of it. 114 00:06:56,611 --> 00:06:59,628 Over here, follow these angles and tap. 115 00:06:59,678 --> 00:07:04,614 Then lift upward, always following the angles that you built into your mountains. 116 00:07:04,664 --> 00:07:09,006 Mountains are so simple, they're hard. 117 00:07:10,591 --> 00:07:13,104 Okay, that gives us a nice, quick little basic mountain. 118 00:07:13,154 --> 00:07:14,927 Let's put one on the other side. 119 00:07:14,977 --> 00:07:16,989 Might as well have some good practice here. 120 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:19,552 Let's come right up here. 121 00:07:19,602 --> 00:07:24,805 Oh, yeah, almighty mountain. 122 00:07:24,829 --> 00:07:26,543 There he comes. 123 00:07:27,091 --> 00:07:33,033 And just let him wander right on down here in front. 124 00:07:33,243 --> 00:07:35,815 Now this one I want to be a little darker in value 125 00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:38,280 than the one I have behind, so it looks closer. 126 00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:44,788 So I'm applying a little more color than I did on the first one. 127 00:07:44,838 --> 00:07:47,672 Okay, and we'll blend this one down. 128 00:07:47,722 --> 00:07:49,441 But I'm not blending it as much, once again. 129 00:07:49,465 --> 00:07:56,734 There we go. 130 00:08:00,419 --> 00:08:05,447 Alright, clean the paint off the brush here. 131 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,814 I probably just bought a studio. 132 00:08:11,864 --> 00:08:16,100 Okay, now we'll put some snow on this mountain. 133 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:20,950 Touch, follow the contour of the mountain. 134 00:08:22,798 --> 00:08:24,169 There we go. 135 00:08:27,203 --> 00:08:31,919 Mountains used to really give me a fit when I was a traditional painter. 136 00:08:31,969 --> 00:08:36,074 I've spent weeks sometimes working with a little 137 00:08:36,098 --> 00:08:39,969 brush trying to make all these things happen. 138 00:08:45,248 --> 00:08:47,461 Isn't that fantastic? 139 00:08:47,511 --> 00:08:50,925 You can make whole mountains in minutes. 140 00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:53,032 And you can do it. 141 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,840 There's no big secret to it. 142 00:08:57,964 --> 00:09:02,306 All you need is a dream in your heart. 143 00:09:03,431 --> 00:09:05,945 And an almighty knife. 144 00:09:07,676 --> 00:09:10,870 Now, make a little more of the shadow color. 145 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,548 And we'll throw some shadows in here and move right along. 146 00:09:19,623 --> 00:09:20,580 Maybe a touch darker. 147 00:09:20,604 --> 00:09:21,322 There we go. 148 00:09:21,346 --> 00:09:22,978 That's what we're looking for. 149 00:09:23,028 --> 00:09:26,063 We'll put a little shadow right in there. 150 00:09:26,113 --> 00:09:28,284 Little shadow here. 151 00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:30,489 Ah, there's one. 152 00:09:30,539 --> 00:09:31,910 There he is. 153 00:09:35,046 --> 00:09:36,046 There. 154 00:09:40,874 --> 00:09:42,245 There we go. 155 00:09:42,276 --> 00:09:45,291 See how easy it is to give dimension to these mountains? 156 00:09:45,341 --> 00:09:48,108 It's all a game of angles. 157 00:09:48,158 --> 00:09:49,650 Just a game of angles. 158 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,242 Mountains are geometric shapes. 159 00:09:53,304 --> 00:09:55,704 Play with the angles. 160 00:09:58,451 --> 00:10:05,308 Okay, maybe we'll bring this down just a touch farther here. 161 00:10:07,782 --> 00:10:08,782 Okay. 162 00:10:09,824 --> 00:10:15,652 Now we'll gently tap on these a little, just a few. 163 00:10:21,284 --> 00:10:21,660 There we go. 164 00:10:21,684 --> 00:10:24,123 While I get this brush dirty, I think we'll put some water in here. 165 00:10:24,147 --> 00:10:28,147 Maybe we'll have water in this one. 166 00:10:28,713 --> 00:10:30,084 There we go. 167 00:10:30,995 --> 00:10:33,787 Just pull from the outside in and try to keep these lines level 168 00:10:33,811 --> 00:10:36,492 so your water doesn't look like it's running off the canvas. 169 00:10:36,542 --> 00:10:40,337 And you have to tie a bucket on one end to catch it. 170 00:10:40,387 --> 00:10:41,872 There we are. 171 00:10:46,954 --> 00:10:47,954 Okay. 172 00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:56,035 Well, since I own the studio, I can do that now. 173 00:10:56,085 --> 00:10:58,824 Now I'm gonna use the one inch brush, and I'm just gonna gently lift up. 174 00:10:58,848 --> 00:11:00,661 This is just a clean brush. 175 00:11:00,711 --> 00:11:05,106 Just lift up, make it look like little things way back in the distance back here. 176 00:11:05,156 --> 00:11:06,756 Far, far away. 177 00:11:09,101 --> 00:11:10,272 There we go. 178 00:11:10,322 --> 00:11:12,975 Just lifting upward, little short strokes. 179 00:11:13,025 --> 00:11:17,060 Don't let the strokes get too large. 180 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:19,253 There we, alright. 181 00:11:22,321 --> 00:11:24,213 Just here and there. 182 00:11:24,263 --> 00:11:32,082 And maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe there's some little evergreens back here. 183 00:11:32,132 --> 00:11:34,069 And we'll make some with a fan brush and maybe 184 00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:35,927 we'll make some with a palette knife today. 185 00:11:35,977 --> 00:11:38,990 That's a little bit different. 186 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,413 Alright, let's just drop a little evergreen right here. 187 00:11:41,463 --> 00:11:47,460 And I'm using a color that's very, very close to the background mountains. 188 00:11:47,510 --> 00:11:50,595 So they look far, far away. 189 00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:53,351 Give him a friend. 190 00:11:55,193 --> 00:11:59,307 We forget that trees get lonely too. 191 00:12:01,782 --> 00:12:04,745 Okay, now as you make trees that in your mind are a little 192 00:12:04,769 --> 00:12:07,499 bit closer to you, allow them to get a little darker. 193 00:12:07,549 --> 00:12:08,801 A little bit darker. 194 00:12:08,851 --> 00:12:12,005 And maybe there's one, there he is. 195 00:12:12,055 --> 00:12:13,426 Right there. 196 00:12:13,898 --> 00:12:18,240 Now he's closer so we want him darker. 197 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,074 Support us and become VIP member to remove all ads from www.OpenSubtitles.org 198 00:12:27,425 --> 00:12:30,118 And we'll lay some color right there. 199 00:12:30,168 --> 00:12:34,283 And we'll just gently lift up, just to make all kind of little things happen. 200 00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:38,668 Since this is a wet-on-wet technique, you can smooth the paint, it'll slide. 201 00:12:38,718 --> 00:12:43,533 The magic white underneath makes it wet and slick. 202 00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:45,956 And it'll just slide and move. 203 00:12:46,006 --> 00:12:51,522 All you have to do is learn to control it a little. 204 00:12:51,572 --> 00:12:52,572 Okay. 205 00:12:59,065 --> 00:13:05,785 Now, let's take, put a little bit of reflection into the water. 206 00:13:05,835 --> 00:13:11,874 I've taken a little bit of the tree color, and I'm just gonna gently pull down. 207 00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:13,524 Straight down. 208 00:13:14,167 --> 00:13:22,054 Most important that it comes straight down. 209 00:13:22,078 --> 00:13:26,336 And maybe we'll make an uneven one here, so all kind of little things can happen. 210 00:13:26,386 --> 00:13:29,286 Now, after you've pulled it down, very gently 211 00:13:29,310 --> 00:13:32,428 go across, just enough to give it a watery feel. 212 00:13:32,478 --> 00:13:33,456 It's easy to destroy. 213 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,726 And look at that already. 214 00:13:41,636 --> 00:13:45,514 Let's take a little bit of the Magic White mixed with a little bit of Firm White. 215 00:13:45,564 --> 00:13:50,135 I wanna paint this a little bit thinner. 216 00:14:00,338 --> 00:14:05,414 Watch right in here, and we'll create a little cove. 217 00:14:05,464 --> 00:14:07,178 Just that easy. 218 00:14:09,728 --> 00:14:12,692 But all these lines need to be basically straight, or 219 00:14:12,716 --> 00:14:15,985 once again, your water will run right out of the painting. 220 00:14:16,035 --> 00:14:22,793 Okay, we'll just let him run right on around the corner here. 221 00:14:22,843 --> 00:14:24,328 Just like so. 222 00:14:26,146 --> 00:14:27,146 Okay. 223 00:14:28,503 --> 00:14:31,038 Let's make some happy little evergreen trees. 224 00:14:31,088 --> 00:14:35,566 I promised today we'd make them a little bit different than we have in the past. 225 00:14:35,616 --> 00:14:39,353 We'll make them with the almighty palette knife here. 226 00:14:39,403 --> 00:14:43,962 Okay, decide basically where you want a tree, right there. 227 00:14:44,012 --> 00:14:47,188 Now, we're gonna load just a tiny bit of paint 228 00:14:47,212 --> 00:14:50,133 right on the point of the knife and touch. 229 00:14:50,183 --> 00:14:51,926 And we just begin 230 00:14:51,976 --> 00:14:52,893 Touching. 231 00:14:52,917 --> 00:14:54,930 We're not trying to draw with this knife. 232 00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:57,493 All we're doing is laying paint on the canvas. 233 00:14:57,543 --> 00:15:04,422 We touch the canvas, the canvas takes what it wants, gives you back what's left. 234 00:15:04,472 --> 00:15:09,849 Okay, just let this tree work right out of your knife here. 235 00:15:09,899 --> 00:15:13,173 And we're still using nothing but the blue and the Van Dyke brown. 236 00:15:13,223 --> 00:15:16,651 Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown. 237 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:21,223 And there's a little tree. 238 00:15:21,273 --> 00:15:25,589 Maybe, maybe right there's another one. 239 00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:28,593 I just want to do enough of these to show you how to do them. 240 00:15:28,643 --> 00:15:32,249 And when you do your painting at home, you 241 00:15:32,273 --> 00:15:36,162 determine how many trees live in your forest. 242 00:15:36,212 --> 00:15:37,583 There we go. 243 00:15:43,361 --> 00:15:44,441 See there? 244 00:15:44,491 --> 00:15:46,042 A lot of paint, though. 245 00:15:46,092 --> 00:15:49,911 And what's really nice, when this painting dries, 246 00:15:49,935 --> 00:15:54,092 these trees are very thick, you can feel the texture. 247 00:15:54,260 --> 00:15:55,260 Alright. 248 00:15:57,643 --> 00:15:59,995 Maybe over here, maybe a great big tree. 249 00:16:00,045 --> 00:16:03,816 Maybe one that, maybe he's tired. 250 00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,072 Like that. 251 00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:11,606 But once you do that, you're committed, you gotta put a tree there now. 252 00:16:11,656 --> 00:16:14,056 Okay, so there we go. 253 00:16:16,385 --> 00:16:18,099 A lot of paint. 254 00:16:22,134 --> 00:16:23,134 Okay. 255 00:16:23,957 --> 00:16:25,930 And hum along as you paint. 256 00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:28,494 Just let it flow off your knife. 257 00:16:28,544 --> 00:16:32,967 La la la, all that kind of good stuff. 258 00:16:32,991 --> 00:16:33,991 Okay. 259 00:16:36,877 --> 00:16:39,671 A lot of paint, a lot of paint. 260 00:16:39,721 --> 00:16:43,835 Thick trees, strong, almighty trees. 261 00:16:45,848 --> 00:16:49,943 Okay, we'll give him a little trunk indication just by cutting through. 262 00:16:49,993 --> 00:16:51,821 Right over here. 263 00:16:52,596 --> 00:16:55,590 Up here, just a little indication. 264 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,755 Maybe some little stems here and there, okay. 265 00:16:59,805 --> 00:17:03,259 Now, if we want to highlight these trees, maybe lay a little bit of snow on them. 266 00:17:03,309 --> 00:17:06,394 We need a shadow side and a highlight side, so I'll just 267 00:17:06,418 --> 00:17:09,526 use the same basic shadow colors I used on the mountain. 268 00:17:09,576 --> 00:17:14,261 Maybe a little touch darker, there we go. 269 00:17:15,785 --> 00:17:18,701 Alright, now very gently, very gently, just 270 00:17:18,725 --> 00:17:21,870 touch so the paint grabs on those high points. 271 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,837 Just barely touch, like so. 272 00:17:24,887 --> 00:17:28,245 Put the shadow in first, let's go over here. 273 00:17:28,295 --> 00:17:32,066 Here it comes, just barely touch. 274 00:17:39,275 --> 00:17:40,506 Okay, now for the other side. 275 00:17:40,556 --> 00:17:43,069 Maybe there's some snow laying on these trees. 276 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,978 We take a little bit of white, titanium white, and 277 00:17:47,002 --> 00:17:51,119 very gently, once again, just a little, let it touch. 278 00:17:52,590 --> 00:17:53,590 Catch the high points. 279 00:17:53,631 --> 00:17:57,125 Don't want to kill all that beautiful dark color. 280 00:17:57,175 --> 00:18:00,008 Okay, let's do it over here. 281 00:18:00,058 --> 00:18:08,058 Little tiny bit. 282 00:18:08,207 --> 00:18:10,264 Okay, there we go. 283 00:18:10,628 --> 00:18:11,628 Like so. 284 00:18:13,191 --> 00:18:15,136 Now while we've got this dark paint going here, 285 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,045 let's just lay a little bit right under here. 286 00:18:17,095 --> 00:18:23,798 Okay. 287 00:18:23,822 --> 00:18:24,822 There. 288 00:18:25,384 --> 00:18:29,209 Now we'll take a one inch brush, and back to one of 289 00:18:29,233 --> 00:18:33,384 our golden rules, it takes dark in order to show light. 290 00:18:34,594 --> 00:18:36,079 So we'll take 291 00:18:36,667 --> 00:18:39,223 A dark color on the one-inch brush here. 292 00:18:39,273 --> 00:18:40,687 We'll throw in some little bushes. 293 00:18:40,737 --> 00:18:45,118 These are just the shadows for the bushes. 294 00:18:45,168 --> 00:18:47,225 Something like so. 295 00:18:51,423 --> 00:18:55,880 And over here, maybe some bigger trees. 296 00:18:57,946 --> 00:19:01,140 Always try to remember to do the thing as farthest away first. 297 00:19:01,190 --> 00:19:05,126 Like, in my mind, this tree's behind these bushes, 298 00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:09,190 so you need to do him first, and then come forward. 299 00:19:11,162 --> 00:19:15,678 Okay, now that we have dark, we can begin worrying about the light. 300 00:19:15,728 --> 00:19:19,923 Let's pull this down right here and turn it into a happy little reflection. 301 00:19:19,973 --> 00:19:21,687 Zip, that easy. 302 00:19:23,022 --> 00:19:26,536 Okay, now we use a one-inch brush with a little 303 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,399 magic white and a little firm white mixed together. 304 00:19:30,449 --> 00:19:33,463 We're looking for a paint that's slightly thinner 305 00:19:33,487 --> 00:19:36,525 than what's on the canvas already so it'll stick. 306 00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:38,767 Maybe a touch more magic. 307 00:19:38,817 --> 00:19:40,302 There we are. 308 00:19:40,739 --> 00:19:46,154 Okay, now, push off all these beautiful little leaves. 309 00:19:46,204 --> 00:19:48,261 Just let them hit. 310 00:19:48,686 --> 00:19:50,218 Sparkle in the sun. 311 00:19:50,268 --> 00:19:54,157 And at the same time, you can reflect them right into the water. 312 00:19:54,207 --> 00:19:55,349 That easy. 313 00:19:56,991 --> 00:19:59,962 Here comes one right here. 314 00:20:01,137 --> 00:20:05,419 There. 315 00:20:05,443 --> 00:20:08,557 There they are, look at them little rascals. 316 00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:13,143 Isn't that unreal that you can do that in such a quick, quick stroke? 317 00:20:13,193 --> 00:20:16,850 Now, very gently, whisper light. 318 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:21,154 Don't wanna destroy, just wanna diffuse a little. 319 00:20:21,204 --> 00:20:26,004 And that's how we make mirror reflections. 320 00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:33,373 Now, let's take a little bit of the white and put some snow down here on the ground. 321 00:20:33,423 --> 00:20:35,480 Ooh, there we are. 322 00:20:40,015 --> 00:20:48,015 Okay, a little of the thin white and we'll make a little water line underneath it. 323 00:20:57,218 --> 00:21:02,116 Okay, now we can take and just cut a few little sticks here and there. 324 00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:03,651 Just like so. 325 00:21:04,469 --> 00:21:07,490 There we are. 326 00:21:07,514 --> 00:21:09,313 Okay, now we got to worry about the other side. 327 00:21:09,337 --> 00:21:12,079 That one's looking good. 328 00:21:12,321 --> 00:21:17,740 A little more of the thin white mixed with a thicker white so it'll stick. 329 00:21:17,790 --> 00:21:23,732 We'll put some happy little bushes right along here. 330 00:21:23,959 --> 00:21:28,353 Look at them little rascals sparkling in the sun. 331 00:21:28,403 --> 00:21:29,594 This is a coal painting. 332 00:21:29,644 --> 00:21:33,301 The blue in it makes it so cold. 333 00:21:35,991 --> 00:21:41,019 Okay, we'll put a few little stems in these. 334 00:21:41,897 --> 00:21:43,949 You know, this reminds me of my home in Alaska. 335 00:21:43,999 --> 00:21:46,572 We see a lot of scenes like this. 336 00:21:46,622 --> 00:21:51,056 And I've always wanted to live in a beautiful mountain range like this. 337 00:21:51,106 --> 00:21:52,738 So let's build a house. 338 00:21:52,788 --> 00:21:55,302 We gotta have a house. 339 00:21:55,651 --> 00:21:59,792 We'll make the back eve of the house first. 340 00:21:59,842 --> 00:22:01,327 Just like so. 341 00:22:03,566 --> 00:22:07,620 Then we'll make the other side of the house. 342 00:22:07,670 --> 00:22:09,498 With just white. 343 00:22:10,193 --> 00:22:13,964 Let it run right down the canvas. 344 00:22:15,218 --> 00:22:16,589 There he is. 345 00:22:17,721 --> 00:22:19,206 Just like so. 346 00:22:21,285 --> 00:22:23,337 And a little more of the dark color. 347 00:22:23,387 --> 00:22:26,244 Fill him in in the front. 348 00:22:30,419 --> 00:22:34,238 Let a little bit of that white get on your knife, 349 00:22:34,262 --> 00:22:38,419 just to give it a little tonal values here and there. 350 00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:43,313 That side should be good and dark. 351 00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:46,345 Let's give him a door, he needs a door. 352 00:22:46,395 --> 00:22:47,766 There we go. 353 00:22:48,337 --> 00:22:52,491 Little touch of the magic white to outline it. 354 00:22:52,541 --> 00:22:59,951 Maybe this is an old slab cabin, so we can put some boards in here. 355 00:23:00,001 --> 00:23:05,699 And we need some snow on the other side of the roof. 356 00:23:05,749 --> 00:23:07,902 Can't have just one side with snow on it. 357 00:23:07,952 --> 00:23:11,037 We need snow on both sides. 358 00:23:11,117 --> 00:23:12,117 There. 359 00:23:15,563 --> 00:23:16,500 Okay. 360 00:23:16,524 --> 00:23:17,702 Now we need some snow on the ground. 361 00:23:17,726 --> 00:23:21,351 So we just touch. 362 00:23:22,732 --> 00:23:26,868 And snow is a game of angles like mountains are. 363 00:23:26,918 --> 00:23:29,681 It's most important that you follow the lay 364 00:23:29,705 --> 00:23:32,556 of the land when you're laying your snow in. 365 00:23:32,606 --> 00:23:37,977 Just let it go in the direction the land flows. 366 00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:43,905 There we are. 367 00:23:45,704 --> 00:23:48,204 Now let's push this little house back up into the bushes a little more. 368 00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:53,664 I'll take a little of the dark color and we'll put a happy little bush right here. 369 00:23:53,714 --> 00:23:57,128 And then some of the light color. 370 00:23:57,178 --> 00:24:00,751 And just throw some highlights on that bush. 371 00:24:00,801 --> 00:24:01,801 Like so. 372 00:24:02,763 --> 00:24:06,457 And maybe a little bush lives right there. 373 00:24:06,507 --> 00:24:08,335 Ah, there we go. 374 00:24:09,150 --> 00:24:10,150 Super. 375 00:24:11,132 --> 00:24:12,132 Alright. 376 00:24:13,615 --> 00:24:21,615 Maybe, just to play a little here, let's throw a little tree right up through here. 377 00:24:29,152 --> 00:24:32,952 Okay. 378 00:24:32,976 --> 00:24:37,547 And we'll put a little highlight on him. 379 00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:43,087 Now I'm gonna use the liner brush and some thin oil and I'll thin some of 380 00:24:43,111 --> 00:24:47,083 this down and we'll throw some happy little limbs out here on this tree. 381 00:24:48,873 --> 00:24:51,615 Just let them run along. 382 00:24:52,097 --> 00:24:56,211 Wherever you think they ought to be. 383 00:24:58,767 --> 00:25:02,061 And you can use paint thinner to thin this paint down. 384 00:25:02,111 --> 00:25:07,528 I prefer oil because it's slicker, it moves easier. 385 00:25:07,578 --> 00:25:11,493 There we go, maybe one more right there. 386 00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:14,171 And we just let him go. 387 00:25:14,827 --> 00:25:17,200 A few little sticks down here at the bottom. 388 00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:20,584 I think we just about have a finished picture. 389 00:25:20,634 --> 00:25:25,700 A little bit of oil here, and we're gonna sign him in red, we're gonna cheat. 390 00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:27,728 And we'll throw a little signature on there. 391 00:25:27,778 --> 00:25:31,722 This is a fantastic painting because it uses only gray and white. 392 00:25:31,772 --> 00:25:34,982 I'd like to show you a variation of this. 393 00:25:35,032 --> 00:25:39,049 And it uses only burnt umber and white. 394 00:25:39,099 --> 00:25:42,259 So maybe we can get the camera to swing over to that and we'll 395 00:25:42,283 --> 00:25:45,621 take a look at it and show you what you can do with other colors. 396 00:25:45,671 --> 00:25:48,968 And there's really no limit to what color. 397 00:25:49,018 --> 00:25:53,917 Any color will work as long as you use the basic method. 398 00:25:53,967 --> 00:26:00,138 So, on behalf of all of us here, you have a super day. 399 00:26:01,305 --> 00:27:01,294 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm
