"The Joy of Painting" Autumn Splendor

1 00:00:01,027 --> 00:00:05,282 Well, hello, here we are again, ready to do a fantastic painting together. 2 00:00:05,332 --> 00:00:08,300 I thought today we'd do something that's very soft and 3 00:00:08,324 --> 00:00:11,149 deep in the woods, and a very warm little painting. 4 00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:13,084 So, very quickly here, I'm gonna have them 5 00:00:13,108 --> 00:00:15,198 flash the colors across the screen, so in case 6 00:00:15,222 --> 00:00:17,255 you didn't get them on the first show, you'll 7 00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:19,199 know all the colors that we're using here. 8 00:00:19,369 --> 00:00:21,422 And this is a fantastic little painting. 9 00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:25,787 It's very soft, very quiet, and it's like you're walking into the woods. 10 00:00:25,837 --> 00:00:27,183 So let's do it. 11 00:00:27,233 --> 00:00:31,153 I'm gonna start out with a little bit of Phthalo Blue, just a tiny bit, 12 00:00:31,177 --> 00:00:35,233 and put a little bit of Van Dyke Brown with it, just to dull it a little. 13 00:00:36,425 --> 00:00:40,570 And let's start right up here, and we'll start with our little X patterns, 14 00:00:40,594 --> 00:00:44,425 little crisscross strokes, and we'll put a happy little sky in here. 15 00:00:45,637 --> 00:00:46,637 There. 16 00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:51,524 And just let this pick up the magic white, and as 17 00:00:51,548 --> 00:00:55,420 you work down, it gets lighter and lighter in value. 18 00:00:55,470 --> 00:00:56,470 Okay. 19 00:00:59,802 --> 00:01:01,826 About like so. 20 00:01:04,732 --> 00:01:09,051 Isn't that fantastic that you can make a sky that quick? 21 00:01:09,101 --> 00:01:10,243 All right. 22 00:01:11,145 --> 00:01:15,152 Now then, without washing the brush, I'm gonna go right into some 23 00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:19,145 Van Dyke brown, some burnt umber, and a little bit of sap green. 24 00:01:21,318 --> 00:01:23,030 Just mix them on the brush. 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,953 Let them mix on the brush. 26 00:01:25,003 --> 00:01:26,729 And let's figure out where we'd like to have 27 00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:28,463 some beautiful little trees and stuff here. 28 00:01:28,487 --> 00:01:29,558 Just push. 29 00:01:29,608 --> 00:01:31,665 Bend the bristles. 30 00:01:32,372 --> 00:01:35,075 And all we're looking for here is the, basically 31 00:01:35,099 --> 00:01:37,428 what we're doing is the back of the tree. 32 00:01:37,478 --> 00:01:39,712 And then we'll put the trunks and limbs in and that'll be the 33 00:01:39,736 --> 00:01:41,920 middle of the tree and then we'll do the front of the tree. 34 00:01:41,944 --> 00:01:42,944 Okay. 35 00:01:44,767 --> 00:01:47,040 And maybe there's one that lives right here. 36 00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:50,225 Just let your imagination sort of go crazy here. 37 00:01:50,275 --> 00:01:52,749 Think about where you'd want a tree. 38 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:55,313 This is your creation. 39 00:01:56,124 --> 00:01:57,495 There we go. 40 00:02:01,572 --> 00:02:08,772 Maybe over in here we'll have some big things happening, big trees. 41 00:02:08,822 --> 00:02:14,879 And you're really pushing this paint into the canvas. 42 00:02:15,432 --> 00:02:17,231 And leave some of these little airy spots open. 43 00:02:17,255 --> 00:02:20,060 Don't cover the whole canvas. 44 00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:27,288 When the picture's finished, you can see a little bit of sky through there. 45 00:02:27,338 --> 00:02:28,338 Okay. 46 00:02:30,281 --> 00:02:32,239 Now, right up in here, I want it to be quite dark. 47 00:02:32,263 --> 00:02:39,041 I'm gonna add just a tiny amount of Prussian blue, just to darken this. 48 00:02:39,091 --> 00:02:39,728 There we go. 49 00:02:39,752 --> 00:02:44,780 I want to create some deep shadows in there. 50 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,508 Okay, maybe a little touch over here. 51 00:02:53,135 --> 00:02:54,135 Alright. 52 00:02:56,298 --> 00:02:57,755 Okay. 53 00:02:57,779 --> 00:03:03,175 Now, let's take the fan brush here and make some trunks. 54 00:03:03,225 --> 00:03:07,879 I'm gonna use a little bit of Van Dyke brown. 55 00:03:07,929 --> 00:03:10,373 And one side of the fan brush, I'm just 56 00:03:10,397 --> 00:03:13,244 gonna touch it to a little tiny bit of white. 57 00:03:13,294 --> 00:03:16,067 So it's only on one side. 58 00:03:16,117 --> 00:03:18,974 Now, just pull this down. 59 00:03:19,941 --> 00:03:22,852 And we'll make some little trunks back here. 60 00:03:22,902 --> 00:03:27,222 Van Dyke brown, little touch of white. 61 00:03:27,246 --> 00:03:28,246 There. 62 00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:33,221 You'll probably have to reload your fan brush after each stroke. 63 00:03:33,271 --> 00:03:39,046 You just want this to look like little tree trunks that are way back in the distance. 64 00:03:39,096 --> 00:03:42,389 Maybe there's another one that lives right there. 65 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:46,561 But by adding that little touch of white on there, you can put a little 66 00:03:46,585 --> 00:03:50,439 highlight on there at the same time you're putting your trunks in. 67 00:03:50,807 --> 00:03:54,020 It all happens automatically. 68 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:58,935 Okay, now. 69 00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:01,455 We've got a lot of little limbs to do in this 70 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,560 painting, so I think I'll cheat just a little bit here. 71 00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:11,010 And we'll take and just make a lot of little limbs here. 72 00:04:14,329 --> 00:04:19,700 Maybe there's some up here in this little tree. 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,074 Watch Online Movies and Series for FREE www.osdb.link/lm 74 00:04:30,841 --> 00:04:35,076 Maybe there's some over here in these. 75 00:04:35,126 --> 00:04:37,411 Just here and there. 76 00:04:44,316 --> 00:04:45,253 Okay. 77 00:04:45,277 --> 00:04:47,208 Now, with a large brush, and I'm still using 78 00:04:47,232 --> 00:04:49,231 the same dirty brush, I'm gonna go right into 79 00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:51,376 a little bit of the magic white to make a little 80 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,277 thinner paint, and right into some yellow. 81 00:04:56,643 --> 00:04:59,196 And load a lot of paint into the bristles. 82 00:04:59,246 --> 00:05:02,259 And we'll take a little bit of the sap green. 83 00:05:02,309 --> 00:05:04,301 Load a lot of paint into the bristles. 84 00:05:04,351 --> 00:05:06,636 Really fill them up. 85 00:05:07,254 --> 00:05:10,147 And we'll begin applying some happy little leaves out here. 86 00:05:10,197 --> 00:05:18,197 And we're just gonna touch, just let these little leaves jump off the brush. 87 00:05:18,425 --> 00:05:22,846 There we go. 88 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:24,470 Look at there. 89 00:05:24,672 --> 00:05:26,748 All those little son of a guns. 90 00:05:26,798 --> 00:05:28,464 Now if you have trouble getting the paint to 91 00:05:28,488 --> 00:05:30,178 stick, add a little more of the magic white. 92 00:05:30,202 --> 00:05:36,030 Remember, a thin paint will stick to a thick paint. 93 00:05:38,633 --> 00:05:39,590 There we are. 94 00:05:39,614 --> 00:05:41,847 We'll just put little leaves everywhere out here. 95 00:05:41,897 --> 00:05:43,489 And the dark just becomes the shadow. 96 00:05:43,539 --> 00:05:49,287 Maybe right in here a few. 97 00:05:50,328 --> 00:05:51,726 Now here's another happy little bush. 98 00:05:51,750 --> 00:05:57,578 Let's try a little bit of yellow ochre on this one. 99 00:06:01,915 --> 00:06:03,400 There we are. 100 00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:11,563 And I'm just going back and forth here between ochre and the yellow. 101 00:06:11,613 --> 00:06:18,927 And we'll just put some happy little things all up through here. 102 00:06:20,289 --> 00:06:21,289 There. 103 00:06:22,654 --> 00:06:27,397 All kinds of little leaves just happening. 104 00:06:27,447 --> 00:06:29,580 And I'll add a little more sap green now. 105 00:06:29,630 --> 00:06:33,986 I want these to be a little darker than I'm fixing to do now. 106 00:06:34,036 --> 00:06:37,390 Then we'll go right back here in the background. 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,525 Just lay a few of these on. 108 00:06:41,325 --> 00:06:46,010 Want these to be nice and loose and airy. 109 00:06:51,118 --> 00:06:52,718 There they go. 110 00:06:57,282 --> 00:07:01,091 Isn't that fantastic that you can put all these leaves and all these 111 00:07:01,115 --> 00:07:04,779 little things happening in the trees in just a matter of minutes? 112 00:07:04,829 --> 00:07:08,524 And if you're painting along with us at home, by now you 113 00:07:08,548 --> 00:07:12,467 should begin being quite happy about what's happening here. 114 00:07:12,517 --> 00:07:14,238 Okay, now then. 115 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,495 Let's take a little more of the Van Dyke brown and 116 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:22,677 begin figuring out what we're gonna build here. 117 00:07:22,727 --> 00:07:25,439 Just sort of let this happen. 118 00:07:25,489 --> 00:07:29,717 This is just straight Van Dyke brown. 119 00:07:29,851 --> 00:07:34,422 Maybe we'll have some land back in here. 120 00:07:36,197 --> 00:07:38,370 And maybe there's some over here somewhere. 121 00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:40,452 This is your world. 122 00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:45,717 So create land or bushes or trees or whatever, wherever you want them. 123 00:07:45,767 --> 00:07:51,223 Now we'll take a clean brush and grab the bottom here and pull straight down. 124 00:07:51,273 --> 00:07:53,330 Just pull it down. 125 00:07:53,535 --> 00:07:55,233 But it's important that it comes straight down. 126 00:07:55,257 --> 00:07:59,599 You don't want to do this at an angle. 127 00:08:03,112 --> 00:08:06,667 And if you don't get quite enough color, you can add a little bit to your brush. 128 00:08:06,717 --> 00:08:10,031 There, and just pull it down. 129 00:08:13,646 --> 00:08:17,701 Now, very gently go across, just to give it a watery feel. 130 00:08:17,751 --> 00:08:23,569 It's very easy to destroy all these nice little lines that you have in there. 131 00:08:23,619 --> 00:08:27,254 Now, I think we'll take a one-inch brush, put a little bit of Magic 132 00:08:27,278 --> 00:08:30,719 White on it, and I'll go into some Cad Yellow and Yellow Ochre. 133 00:08:30,769 --> 00:08:34,415 Just sort of mix them together on the brush. 134 00:08:34,465 --> 00:08:42,465 And we'll slip back in here and put some happy little bushes growing right in here. 135 00:08:44,076 --> 00:08:45,447 There's one. 136 00:08:47,901 --> 00:08:53,386 All kinds of little leaves and things happening. 137 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:56,801 There we go. 138 00:08:59,435 --> 00:09:01,627 I thought today we'd use a fan brush some. 139 00:09:01,677 --> 00:09:04,858 Fan brush can be your best friend. 140 00:09:04,908 --> 00:09:07,983 And we'll still use the same colors. 141 00:09:08,033 --> 00:09:12,591 And we'll begin working down the hill here. 142 00:09:12,641 --> 00:09:17,038 And automatically your brush is picking up this dark color that's underneath. 143 00:09:17,088 --> 00:09:23,970 And you want this back here to be very subdued, very quiet, soft. 144 00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:25,734 In the shadows. 145 00:09:27,005 --> 00:09:29,771 Okay, we'll take a little bit of the white 146 00:09:29,795 --> 00:09:32,718 mixed with a little tiny bit of burnt umber. 147 00:09:32,768 --> 00:09:34,266 Let's put a few little highlights here. 148 00:09:34,290 --> 00:09:39,045 Maybe there's a little sunlight hitting right along in here. 149 00:09:39,095 --> 00:09:40,466 There we go. 150 00:09:43,259 --> 00:09:47,716 And we'll give him just a little touch. 151 00:09:48,304 --> 00:09:52,239 Then we'll take our fan brush and begin building 152 00:09:52,263 --> 00:09:56,304 all these little soft grassy areas back in there. 153 00:09:57,053 --> 00:09:58,195 Very soft. 154 00:10:11,632 --> 00:10:15,247 Already we're beginning to create a very quiet 155 00:10:15,271 --> 00:10:18,514 little puddle somewhere out in the woods. 156 00:10:18,564 --> 00:10:22,335 Now, a little bit of magic white. 157 00:10:22,650 --> 00:10:24,849 And we'll mix a least little touch of Van 158 00:10:24,873 --> 00:10:27,368 Dyke brown with it, just to dull it down some. 159 00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:30,960 Don't want it to be too bright. 160 00:10:32,286 --> 00:10:38,686 And we'll begin putting some little water lines in here. 161 00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:46,061 Okay. 162 00:10:48,164 --> 00:10:51,117 Maybe we'll bring this a little bit more forward. 163 00:10:51,167 --> 00:10:53,681 Maybe right like that. 164 00:10:56,053 --> 00:11:01,248 Just make another little projection out there. 165 00:11:01,298 --> 00:11:05,184 Okay, but each time you add one of these little projections, give 166 00:11:05,208 --> 00:11:09,298 him some reflections by just pulling a little bit of the color down. 167 00:11:14,795 --> 00:11:20,852 Okay, and we'll put a tiny bit of highlight on there. 168 00:11:24,672 --> 00:11:27,872 Use our almighty fan brush, and I'm gonna add a 169 00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:31,394 touch of magic white, just to thin it a little bit. 170 00:11:31,444 --> 00:11:33,257 Little more sap green. 171 00:11:33,307 --> 00:11:41,307 I want it to start getting a little darker as it's getting closer to us here. 172 00:11:42,132 --> 00:11:44,786 And let this go with the lay of the land. 173 00:11:44,836 --> 00:11:48,721 Always follow the lay of the land. 174 00:11:49,624 --> 00:11:54,538 Maybe a little green over in this side too. 175 00:11:54,611 --> 00:12:02,382 And we can bring out another little projection here if we wanted to. 176 00:12:05,348 --> 00:12:09,626 Once again though, after you bring your little projection 177 00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:13,348 out, he needs his own personal little reflection. 178 00:12:15,376 --> 00:12:19,273 Okay, now we can lay just a tiny bit of highlight on there just to make it 179 00:12:19,297 --> 00:12:23,376 look like dirt and stones and all the little things that happen in the woods. 180 00:12:28,137 --> 00:12:32,113 And let's take just a tiny bit here of yellow ochre 181 00:12:32,137 --> 00:12:36,137 and I put a little bit of alizarin crimson with it. 182 00:12:44,789 --> 00:12:49,043 Just let this sort of disappear back here. 183 00:12:49,093 --> 00:12:56,050 Just to give an indication of something there, but it's really very quiet, subdued. 184 00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:59,854 Okay, I think it's time we built a almighty tree. 185 00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:04,138 I'm gonna mix burnt umber and van dyke brown together. 186 00:13:04,188 --> 00:13:10,304 And let's put a couple of beautiful big birch trees right up through here. 187 00:13:10,354 --> 00:13:11,846 There they go. 188 00:13:11,896 --> 00:13:15,096 We'll put the dark on first, 189 00:13:16,598 --> 00:13:21,740 Just straight Van Dyke brown and burnt umber. 190 00:13:23,054 --> 00:13:27,396 Just let it come right off your knife. 191 00:13:29,450 --> 00:13:37,450 And just to keep him from getting lonely here, we'll give him another friend. 192 00:13:38,823 --> 00:13:41,637 And just mix these two browns together. 193 00:13:41,687 --> 00:13:43,679 But don't overmix them. 194 00:13:43,729 --> 00:13:47,779 Just put them together and leave them alone so when you 195 00:13:47,803 --> 00:13:51,729 put the highlight on here, it'll pick up both colors. 196 00:13:52,741 --> 00:13:53,741 There. 197 00:13:58,649 --> 00:14:03,806 Okay, now let's take a little bit of titanium white. 198 00:14:03,856 --> 00:14:06,850 Maybe we'll make these trees really stand out. 199 00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,414 Touch, pull it around. 200 00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:16,269 Just give it a little pop, like so. 201 00:14:21,826 --> 00:14:22,837 Oh, look at that. 202 00:14:22,887 --> 00:14:25,401 Look at all that bark. 203 00:14:28,197 --> 00:14:29,197 Okay. 204 00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:32,835 And these trees need a few little limbs on them, too. 205 00:14:32,885 --> 00:14:38,370 The bigger ones here would just do with a knife. 206 00:14:39,877 --> 00:14:40,414 There we go. 207 00:14:40,438 --> 00:14:43,638 And we'll put one over here. 208 00:14:45,845 --> 00:14:48,473 Maybe there's one here. 209 00:14:49,290 --> 00:14:57,290 And we'll take a little more of the white and put a little highlight on the limbs. 210 00:14:58,382 --> 00:14:59,382 There. 211 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:10,970 Now then, let's add a few little delicate limbs out here. 212 00:15:10,994 --> 00:15:14,254 Just here and there. 213 00:15:14,278 --> 00:15:17,712 Just to give all these nice little leaves something to hang on. 214 00:15:17,762 --> 00:15:25,762 Maybe there's one that comes right down through here. 215 00:15:27,933 --> 00:15:28,933 Okay. 216 00:15:30,216 --> 00:15:32,375 Now I'm still using the same old dirty brush that 217 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,671 I've used all the way through here without washing. 218 00:15:34,721 --> 00:15:39,397 I'm gonna add a little more magic white, because we want this paint to be thinner. 219 00:15:39,447 --> 00:15:41,943 Take a little bit of crimson, 220 00:15:41,993 --> 00:15:43,821 Oh, looky there. 221 00:15:44,435 --> 00:15:49,309 We'll make sort of a bright little color here. 222 00:15:49,359 --> 00:15:51,752 And now we'll just lay some leaves out here. 223 00:15:51,802 --> 00:15:53,313 Just let them float around. 224 00:15:53,363 --> 00:15:54,620 Very quiet. 225 00:15:55,425 --> 00:15:56,425 Soft. 226 00:15:57,306 --> 00:15:59,518 And don't kill all your background with them. 227 00:15:59,568 --> 00:16:02,539 Leave them loose and airy. 228 00:16:04,273 --> 00:16:05,758 Look at that. 229 00:16:08,356 --> 00:16:12,013 Just let them play and have fun. 230 00:16:13,837 --> 00:16:16,122 Put some up in here. 231 00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,736 Let your imagination be your guide now. 232 00:16:18,786 --> 00:16:20,084 Just wherever you think they should be. 233 00:16:20,108 --> 00:16:26,696 I think sometimes we work too hard at painting. 234 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,694 Painting should always be fun. 235 00:16:28,744 --> 00:16:31,258 Should make you happy. 236 00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:36,070 That's when you're truly an artist. 237 00:16:37,225 --> 00:16:39,737 For so many years, painting hadn't got to 238 00:16:39,761 --> 00:16:42,483 where it wasn't fun anymore, it became work. 239 00:16:42,533 --> 00:16:48,713 Until I had the opportunity to study with Bill and learn this fantastic technique. 240 00:16:48,763 --> 00:16:51,877 And he made it fun again for me. 241 00:16:51,927 --> 00:16:55,681 Little water line into here, this is just the magic 242 00:16:55,705 --> 00:16:59,927 white with a tiny bit of Van Dyke brown in it to dull it. 243 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,631 Let some of these little things just happen. 244 00:17:04,681 --> 00:17:08,459 You know, when we do these paintings, we have a general idea of what 245 00:17:08,483 --> 00:17:12,061 we're gonna do, but other than that, they're really not planned. 246 00:17:12,111 --> 00:17:15,024 We learn to work with what happens. 247 00:17:15,074 --> 00:17:19,931 And when you're at home, don't worry about following exactly what we have here. 248 00:17:19,981 --> 00:17:23,816 Let things happen and use what happens and create your own masterpieces. 249 00:17:23,866 --> 00:17:26,299 Don't just try to copy what we're doing. 250 00:17:26,349 --> 00:17:28,406 And you can do it. 251 00:17:28,732 --> 00:17:31,017 Oh, let's get brave. 252 00:17:31,736 --> 00:17:32,993 How's that? 253 00:17:35,815 --> 00:17:37,190 We'll just put some brown in here. 254 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,684 This is Van Dyke brown with a little bit of umber in it. 255 00:17:41,734 --> 00:17:43,450 Really push this into the canvas. 256 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:48,985 All we're looking for here is a nice dark value. 257 00:17:56,032 --> 00:18:00,035 And you know, the colors that we have here, if you're using a different 258 00:18:00,059 --> 00:18:03,916 brand of paint, you'll find slight variations, but that's all right. 259 00:18:03,966 --> 00:18:07,081 Once again, this is your world, so whatever color you want. 260 00:18:07,131 --> 00:18:10,928 We're really just trying to show you the technique. 261 00:18:10,978 --> 00:18:15,675 The big thing you're looking for, though, is a paint that's very firm. 262 00:18:15,725 --> 00:18:18,231 We get so many cards and letters from people who have 263 00:18:18,255 --> 00:18:20,641 run into problems, and normally that's what it is. 264 00:18:20,691 --> 00:18:22,744 The paint is too thin. 265 00:18:22,794 --> 00:18:24,766 In some techniques, you need a very thin paint. 266 00:18:24,816 --> 00:18:28,531 In this, you need something that's very strong. 267 00:18:28,581 --> 00:18:32,251 Okay, let's go back to the old fan brush here, and we'll take some 268 00:18:32,275 --> 00:18:36,080 yellow, and I'm just beginning to have a mixture of color down here. 269 00:18:36,130 --> 00:18:38,182 It's really hard to tell you exactly what it is. 270 00:18:38,232 --> 00:18:41,478 It's yellow, yellow ochre, a little bit of 271 00:18:41,502 --> 00:18:45,240 crimson in it, and it's whatever comes together. 272 00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:50,065 Let's begin laying some little grassy areas on top of this. 273 00:18:50,115 --> 00:18:54,931 Now your fan brush is beginning to pick up all the dark browns here. 274 00:18:54,981 --> 00:18:57,734 Don't wanna kill all the dark browns. 275 00:18:57,784 --> 00:19:01,618 You'll lose this beautiful darkness in the front of the painting. 276 00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:05,690 Let's do a little, take a little tiny bit of 277 00:19:05,714 --> 00:19:09,668 Prussian blue and white and a little brown. 278 00:19:12,104 --> 00:19:15,999 Let's just give the indication there's some little stones or something here. 279 00:19:16,049 --> 00:19:21,546 Just sort of lay them in at random and then we'll cover up whatever we don't want. 280 00:19:21,596 --> 00:19:22,967 There we go. 281 00:19:27,103 --> 00:19:30,337 Now begin bringing your grassy areas right on down here. 282 00:19:30,387 --> 00:19:32,960 Leaving some of these little things you just made to show. 283 00:19:33,010 --> 00:19:35,752 We'll cover them all up. 284 00:19:41,855 --> 00:19:48,026 All right, now we're beginning to have something here. 285 00:19:48,085 --> 00:19:51,520 If you practice this little painting, it's something you can do very, very quickly. 286 00:19:51,570 --> 00:19:56,047 It's very effective, very nice and warm. 287 00:19:56,097 --> 00:20:00,172 It's a super little painting to give to a relative or a friend 288 00:20:00,196 --> 00:20:04,097 as a gift, because everybody likes these type of paintings. 289 00:20:10,441 --> 00:20:14,338 And also, if you're interested, it'll put a happy buck in 290 00:20:14,362 --> 00:20:18,420 your pocket if you want to sell a painting once in a while. 291 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:25,784 Of course, we're not interested in those monetary gains, I know. 292 00:20:25,877 --> 00:20:31,477 Okay, and we just begin filling all this in here. 293 00:20:33,125 --> 00:20:36,325 And right down through here. 294 00:20:39,584 --> 00:20:41,984 Isn't that something? 295 00:20:42,048 --> 00:20:43,126 I like these little paintings. 296 00:20:43,150 --> 00:20:44,322 A little dark up in here. 297 00:20:44,372 --> 00:20:52,372 I wanna just increase the amount of dark right back here so the shadows are deeper. 298 00:20:52,745 --> 00:20:56,592 Now with a knife, just a clean knife, I'm gonna scrape a few 299 00:20:56,616 --> 00:21:00,745 little trunks here and there, little stems, just here and there. 300 00:21:05,906 --> 00:21:07,391 Not too many. 301 00:21:14,212 --> 00:21:21,334 Okay, here I want a little color, so I put a little brown on the knife. 302 00:21:21,384 --> 00:21:26,692 There we go. 303 00:21:26,752 --> 00:21:32,872 Okay, now we need to, these little birch trees here need something on their foots. 304 00:21:32,922 --> 00:21:36,968 They're sort of ragged hanging out here, so let's just put 305 00:21:36,992 --> 00:21:40,922 some color right underneath it so it just ends the tree. 306 00:21:41,482 --> 00:21:43,554 And then a little shadow behind it. 307 00:21:43,604 --> 00:21:47,261 Gotta have a little shadow here. 308 00:21:48,769 --> 00:21:52,348 Like so. 309 00:21:52,372 --> 00:21:58,314 All these little things happening back in the woods. 310 00:21:58,878 --> 00:22:02,971 Okay, now we can put a few little stems here and there. 311 00:22:03,021 --> 00:22:08,076 I'm using just a liner brush with a little bit of the Van Dyke brown. 312 00:22:08,126 --> 00:22:11,326 And a thin oil on the brush. 313 00:22:12,008 --> 00:22:13,480 Just a nice thin oil. 314 00:22:13,530 --> 00:22:17,186 Bring that brush to a very sharp point. 315 00:22:17,236 --> 00:22:21,135 And we can add in a few more little things here and 316 00:22:21,159 --> 00:22:25,236 there, just to create a little more distance in here. 317 00:22:25,790 --> 00:22:26,790 Like so. 318 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,895 Maybe there's an old limb that's hanging here. 319 00:22:34,945 --> 00:22:36,316 There he is. 320 00:22:42,552 --> 00:22:46,437 Put him some little arms out here. 321 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,891 There we go. 322 00:22:51,802 --> 00:22:56,602 He sort of fell over, he's a little tired. 323 00:23:00,172 --> 00:23:02,124 Just here and there with these. 324 00:23:02,174 --> 00:23:10,174 You always have all these little sticks and stuff out here in the woods. 325 00:23:11,341 --> 00:23:15,394 Maybe you want to get a little bit crazy, and we take 326 00:23:15,418 --> 00:23:19,341 the almighty palette knife here, and let's do this. 327 00:23:30,268 --> 00:23:35,726 And just lay in a little tree right here in the foreground. 328 00:23:35,776 --> 00:23:37,147 There he is. 329 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,080 Okay. 330 00:23:46,104 --> 00:23:48,222 Almighty tree. 331 00:23:48,246 --> 00:23:56,246 And I'll take just a tiny bit of the crimson here and just highlight this side. 332 00:23:57,377 --> 00:24:00,551 Just a little bit, just to sparkle him a little. 333 00:24:00,601 --> 00:24:02,360 And maybe there's a little reflected light over here. 334 00:24:02,384 --> 00:24:05,237 I'll use just a tiny bit of blue. 335 00:24:05,287 --> 00:24:09,695 Just to show indication of reflected light. 336 00:24:09,745 --> 00:24:11,597 Then back to the brown and we'll build him up. 337 00:24:11,647 --> 00:24:13,118 Make it thick. 338 00:24:13,168 --> 00:24:15,681 And when this thing dries, you can feel the bark on this tree. 339 00:24:15,731 --> 00:24:18,504 And all I'm doing is touching and pulling. 340 00:24:18,554 --> 00:24:20,954 Touching and pulling. 341 00:24:22,898 --> 00:24:27,126 And let's give him a little arm here. 342 00:24:29,185 --> 00:24:30,556 There we go. 343 00:24:33,810 --> 00:24:39,638 Put some little branches going here, but which way? 344 00:24:43,141 --> 00:24:46,014 And a little more of the crimson underneath here. 345 00:24:46,064 --> 00:24:49,264 Just to show a little light. 346 00:24:54,774 --> 00:24:57,167 And we're sort of filling in the top of this composition. 347 00:24:57,217 --> 00:25:00,731 Just filling it in, leaving the bottom part open. 348 00:25:00,781 --> 00:25:05,237 Okay, let's put some happy little leaves on here real quick. 349 00:25:05,287 --> 00:25:09,501 I'll use some more of the magic white and a little bit of yellow. 350 00:25:09,551 --> 00:25:10,849 And we'll just put some indications. 351 00:25:10,873 --> 00:25:13,128 Most of these leaves are off the canvas. 352 00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:16,606 But just a few here and there. 353 00:25:16,702 --> 00:25:17,702 Like so. 354 00:25:20,966 --> 00:25:25,201 Just to give the impression that there's leaves going all the way over. 355 00:25:25,251 --> 00:25:28,617 And I think that pretty well gives us a little 356 00:25:28,641 --> 00:25:31,588 painting that we can be very happy with. 357 00:25:31,638 --> 00:25:34,471 Put a little grass right down in here. 358 00:25:34,521 --> 00:25:37,534 And I think we're ready to sign this almighty painting. 359 00:25:37,584 --> 00:25:42,778 So I use a little bit of the red and a little thin oil. 360 00:25:42,828 --> 00:25:46,544 And let's drop a little signature on here. 361 00:25:46,594 --> 00:25:48,112 Okay. 362 00:25:48,136 --> 00:25:51,612 Now, next week we'll be doing a black canvas. 363 00:25:51,662 --> 00:25:53,795 So, have your canvas ready. 364 00:25:53,845 --> 00:25:56,146 You can purchase one at your local art store 365 00:25:56,170 --> 00:25:58,443 or paint your own with a flat back acrylic. 366 00:25:58,493 --> 00:26:03,978 Until then, from all of us here, happy painting. 367 00:26:04,305 --> 00:27:04,508 Do you want subtitles for any video? -=[ ai.OpenSubtitles.com ]=-
