"The Joy of Painting" Black and White Seascape

1 00:00:00,942 --> 00:00:03,967 Well, here we are again, and if you were with us last week, 2 00:00:03,991 --> 00:00:06,989 I promised you a crazy one, and today you're gonna get it. 3 00:00:07,039 --> 00:00:08,493 I think you'll enjoy this. 4 00:00:08,543 --> 00:00:11,040 Let's look at the canvas for just a second. 5 00:00:11,090 --> 00:00:14,628 I have a canvas here that's painted half white and half black. 6 00:00:14,678 --> 00:00:17,360 The bottom half, about 11 inches up, is painted 7 00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:19,975 with a flat black acrylic and allowed to dry. 8 00:00:20,025 --> 00:00:21,758 The top is just plain. 9 00:00:21,808 --> 00:00:24,953 On the bottom I've taken and made one circle of phthalo green 10 00:00:24,977 --> 00:00:27,886 in the center, covered the rest of it with phthalo blue. 11 00:00:27,936 --> 00:00:30,750 The top is covered with magic white as usual. 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,054 So, let's do a fantastic painting here. 13 00:00:34,104 --> 00:00:37,471 I'm gonna start out with a little bit of, this is a 14 00:00:37,495 --> 00:00:40,953 little bit of white, brown, a touch of yellow in it. 15 00:00:41,003 --> 00:00:42,521 And we're gonna make a seascape today. 16 00:00:42,545 --> 00:00:45,500 We're gonna make a violent seascape. 17 00:00:45,550 --> 00:00:49,646 We'll just make a little circle right up in here, like so. 18 00:00:49,696 --> 00:00:50,948 There we go. 19 00:00:50,998 --> 00:00:58,460 Now, to that, I'm gonna add just a touch of brown and a little bit of blue. 20 00:00:58,510 --> 00:01:04,567 And we'll make another little circle right around it. 21 00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:05,376 There we go. 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,978 And we'll just let that work all the way around. 23 00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,446 And right down in here, I'm gonna pick up a 24 00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:15,083 little bit of the blue and work that right in. 25 00:01:15,133 --> 00:01:19,728 Just a little bit of the phthalo blue, just bleeding off the black. 26 00:01:19,778 --> 00:01:20,789 There we go. 27 00:01:20,839 --> 00:01:25,410 Bring this right up to the first circle. 28 00:01:25,464 --> 00:01:30,539 And then in the very back, this is just brown and blue, just dark. 29 00:01:30,589 --> 00:01:34,263 Want a nice dark color back here. 30 00:01:34,313 --> 00:01:38,015 Maybe in this painting, the sun's sort of sneaking 31 00:01:38,039 --> 00:01:41,467 through the clouds and the big storm's coming. 32 00:01:41,517 --> 00:01:43,802 Okay, wash my brush. 33 00:01:48,305 --> 00:01:52,190 And we'll blend all this together. 34 00:01:54,713 --> 00:01:57,306 Looks mean and dark already. 35 00:01:57,356 --> 00:02:00,670 Just blend this guy together. 36 00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:03,192 There we go. 37 00:02:05,266 --> 00:02:08,149 Now, right in the center, 38 00:02:09,428 --> 00:02:13,407 I'm gonna take a little bit of the titanium white on the one inch brush, 39 00:02:13,431 --> 00:02:17,211 go straight into the canvas, and build a happy little sun back here. 40 00:02:17,261 --> 00:02:18,373 There we are. 41 00:02:18,423 --> 00:02:26,105 With a knife, we take off the excess paint, and we blend that together. 42 00:02:26,155 --> 00:02:30,726 Just so we have the indication of a sun. 43 00:02:31,804 --> 00:02:33,257 Now we can start the fun. 44 00:02:33,307 --> 00:02:38,335 Let me get the brush clean and off we'll go. 45 00:02:40,073 --> 00:02:41,565 We don't use brown and blue. 46 00:02:41,615 --> 00:02:48,426 More brown than blue because it is much, much stronger. 47 00:02:50,209 --> 00:02:51,942 The blue is much stronger than the brown. 48 00:02:51,992 --> 00:02:55,909 Maybe we'll put just a tiny bit of crimson in it. 49 00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:01,698 Okay, now a little bit of paint and we're really gonna push this into the canvas. 50 00:03:01,748 --> 00:03:03,919 Get strong with it. 51 00:03:04,613 --> 00:03:09,298 Really, really push it into the material. 52 00:03:11,123 --> 00:03:14,208 Bend the knife, push it in. 53 00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:18,028 There. 54 00:03:18,052 --> 00:03:20,231 There's really not a great deal of paint on the canvas. 55 00:03:20,255 --> 00:03:23,209 It may look like it, but there's really very little paint. 56 00:03:23,259 --> 00:03:28,287 And it's pushed very firmly into the fabric. 57 00:03:30,728 --> 00:03:32,206 Okay. 58 00:03:32,230 --> 00:03:36,344 Now with a clean, dry brush, and be sure it's 59 00:03:36,368 --> 00:03:40,230 dry, we're gonna start pulling that paint. 60 00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:47,733 Just pulling it. 61 00:03:47,757 --> 00:03:49,128 Very gently. 62 00:03:53,302 --> 00:03:56,000 Okay. 63 00:03:56,024 --> 00:03:59,017 Now, that went so nice, let's go a little bit further. 64 00:03:59,067 --> 00:04:02,600 Still using brown and Prussian blue. 65 00:04:02,650 --> 00:04:05,028 More brown than blue. 66 00:04:05,052 --> 00:04:08,585 We'll make some almighty storm clouds in here. 67 00:04:08,635 --> 00:04:11,263 Ooh, big storms coming. 68 00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,289 There we go. 69 00:04:14,270 --> 00:04:19,245 Alright now, maybe there's a little happy cloud right down in here. 70 00:04:19,295 --> 00:04:21,367 Just grind this paint right into the canvas. 71 00:04:21,417 --> 00:04:22,417 Push it. 72 00:04:22,979 --> 00:04:25,264 Big cloud over here. 73 00:04:26,102 --> 00:04:27,816 There he comes. 74 00:04:29,325 --> 00:04:31,953 Really push that paint. 75 00:04:32,989 --> 00:04:35,241 Remember that you're the creator and this is your sea. 76 00:04:35,291 --> 00:04:38,004 You can do anything that you want to do here. 77 00:04:38,054 --> 00:04:44,454 And we decided we want to build an almighty storm today. 78 00:04:45,978 --> 00:04:49,881 Really work that paint in. 79 00:04:49,905 --> 00:04:53,236 Maybe, maybe, maybe far back in the distance 80 00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:56,005 it's beginning to rain a little bit. 81 00:04:56,055 --> 00:04:58,340 Just pull that down. 82 00:05:01,303 --> 00:05:04,799 Make it look like there's a little rain way off in the distance. 83 00:05:04,849 --> 00:05:07,524 Now, with a large brush, I'm gonna blend this 84 00:05:07,548 --> 00:05:10,068 a little just to pick up the excess paint. 85 00:05:10,118 --> 00:05:14,835 The more of this excess you can pick up, the easier it is. 86 00:05:14,885 --> 00:05:19,799 Don't want it to smear all over the canvas. 87 00:05:20,131 --> 00:05:25,288 Now, if you're doing this at home with us, be sure your paint is very, very firm. 88 00:05:25,338 --> 00:05:33,338 If you're using a thin, oily paint, I can almost guarantee you this won't work. 89 00:05:36,571 --> 00:05:40,383 Now then, let's put a little bit of highlight on these clouds. 90 00:05:40,433 --> 00:05:43,326 Use just a little bit of titanium white, and I'm 91 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:46,450 just gonna sprinkle some highlights here and there. 92 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:51,416 Since this is our light source, we can always keep that in mind. 93 00:05:51,466 --> 00:05:53,523 Just a little bit. 94 00:05:57,572 --> 00:06:01,000 And a little bit over in here. 95 00:06:01,917 --> 00:06:03,288 There we go. 96 00:06:06,803 --> 00:06:07,803 Mm. 97 00:06:10,825 --> 00:06:12,637 Okay, a little bit up in here. 98 00:06:12,687 --> 00:06:18,363 Now, we want to get rid of excess paint because it'll smear. 99 00:06:18,413 --> 00:06:23,808 So very gently, we take the knife and lift that right off. 100 00:06:23,858 --> 00:06:27,515 The value remains in the canvas. 101 00:06:28,523 --> 00:06:30,465 Just lift it off. 102 00:06:31,506 --> 00:06:37,607 And I suggest you wipe the knife between each stroke, otherwise, 103 00:06:37,657 --> 00:06:43,371 you'll put a big dark line there when you go back. 104 00:06:45,408 --> 00:06:49,229 Okay, now that we've got the excess paint off, we can take the 105 00:06:49,253 --> 00:06:53,408 large brush and very gently, very gently, just blend this together. 106 00:06:56,104 --> 00:06:59,076 And it still gives the impression of highlights 107 00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,522 without having the real bright colors. 108 00:07:01,572 --> 00:07:04,843 Because we want to retain the darkness in this one. 109 00:07:04,893 --> 00:07:08,914 We're gonna have an almighty storm coming, we 110 00:07:08,938 --> 00:07:12,893 gotta keep it dark and cloudy, mean looking. 111 00:07:13,724 --> 00:07:20,466 We're almost letting the brush touch the canvas right here. 112 00:07:21,273 --> 00:07:25,501 Just lift it, fluff it, blend it out. 113 00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:31,945 Now, a little more white, and right here, 114 00:07:34,525 --> 00:07:35,896 around here. 115 00:07:36,848 --> 00:07:38,360 There they are. 116 00:07:38,410 --> 00:07:40,724 Just let them fall in. 117 00:07:40,774 --> 00:07:46,432 With a large brush, very gently, I'll blend those. 118 00:07:46,482 --> 00:07:48,575 And maybe you want to push them even farther back. 119 00:07:48,625 --> 00:07:54,964 If you do, put some more little clouds right here in the front. 120 00:07:55,014 --> 00:07:57,487 And you can just push those farther and farther back. 121 00:07:57,537 --> 00:08:00,260 Creates a lot of distance in your painting. 122 00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:02,322 So many techniques are very flat. 123 00:08:02,372 --> 00:08:07,400 This has tremendous, tremendous depth in it. 124 00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,732 And our rain way back in there. 125 00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:15,239 There we go, a little bit of that blue. 126 00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:26,793 Okay, maybe another happy little cloud. 127 00:08:28,343 --> 00:08:31,885 Just keep building depth in it. 128 00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:36,056 Alright. 129 00:08:37,379 --> 00:08:40,094 Now then, let's start making some water here. 130 00:08:40,144 --> 00:08:45,001 And I'm gonna start with a palette knife and use a little bit of the titanium white. 131 00:08:45,051 --> 00:08:47,108 Very, very little. 132 00:08:47,535 --> 00:08:49,651 And where the black and the white meet on this canvas, 133 00:08:49,675 --> 00:08:51,537 automatically that'll give you your water line. 134 00:08:51,561 --> 00:08:54,054 You don't really have to worry about it. 135 00:08:54,104 --> 00:08:55,818 But just touch. 136 00:08:55,867 --> 00:08:57,560 Start in the center and work outward. 137 00:08:57,610 --> 00:09:03,324 So it gets darker, darker, darker as it works out. 138 00:09:03,862 --> 00:09:09,219 And here, all we're doing is laying just a little paint on the canvas. 139 00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:10,640 There we go. 140 00:09:16,658 --> 00:09:18,410 Just here and there. 141 00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:19,938 We're not too concerned about it yet. 142 00:09:19,962 --> 00:09:24,190 Just let it fall wherever it pleases. 143 00:09:24,968 --> 00:09:25,968 Okay. 144 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:32,024 With a large brush, clean and dry, just go across. 145 00:09:33,038 --> 00:09:37,152 And we just blend all that together. 146 00:09:38,431 --> 00:09:42,269 Now I'm gonna take a little bit of the cad yellow, very, 147 00:09:42,293 --> 00:09:46,431 very small amount, and a little bit of white mixed together. 148 00:09:47,752 --> 00:09:52,057 And right underneath here, put just a little touch of yellow. 149 00:09:52,107 --> 00:09:54,420 Just to make some pretty little reflections there. 150 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:57,368 Now there's blue underneath, so this yellow 151 00:09:57,392 --> 00:10:00,449 should turn basically green when we blend it. 152 00:10:00,499 --> 00:10:06,418 Just to give some nice yellowish, greenish highlights here. 153 00:10:06,468 --> 00:10:09,622 With our large brush, we'll blend this again. 154 00:10:09,672 --> 00:10:10,904 Look what happens. 155 00:10:10,954 --> 00:10:18,665 Ooh, son of a gun. 156 00:10:18,706 --> 00:10:22,061 Okay, now we're ready to take our fan brush, 157 00:10:22,111 --> 00:10:25,005 And I'm gonna add a tiny little bit of magic white to it. 158 00:10:25,055 --> 00:10:29,271 You need the magic white to thin it just a little tiny bit. 159 00:10:29,321 --> 00:10:30,199 Very small amount. 160 00:10:30,223 --> 00:10:32,396 So it's a little bit thinner than what's up there. 161 00:10:32,446 --> 00:10:37,383 And then we can start applying little waves and stuff. 162 00:10:37,433 --> 00:10:38,410 And test your fan brush. 163 00:10:38,434 --> 00:10:43,251 You'll find it bends better one direction than it does the other. 164 00:10:43,301 --> 00:10:44,513 Keep the brush moving. 165 00:10:44,563 --> 00:10:46,391 Keep it playing. 166 00:10:46,526 --> 00:10:48,919 Let these little waves just fall right out of it there. 167 00:10:48,969 --> 00:10:50,340 There we go. 168 00:10:54,072 --> 00:10:56,891 If you put one in you don't like, just wipe back and forth and it'll go away. 169 00:10:56,915 --> 00:10:59,775 Or you can put little shadows and highlights 170 00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:02,290 and stuff underneath it by doing that. 171 00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:03,340 There. 172 00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:15,919 And as we start getting closer, we begin putting 173 00:11:15,943 --> 00:11:19,628 just a little more detail here and there. 174 00:11:20,917 --> 00:11:22,402 Mmm, bad sea. 175 00:11:23,131 --> 00:11:28,975 The storm is coming. 176 00:11:28,999 --> 00:11:36,999 If you live close to the coast, it's a good time to be finding a new house. 177 00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:43,802 Just let that fan brush work and play in there. 178 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,725 Choppy little waves. 179 00:11:53,877 --> 00:11:55,530 All these little things just happening. 180 00:11:55,580 --> 00:12:01,645 Maybe some little, way back in the distance. 181 00:12:01,669 --> 00:12:02,669 There. 182 00:12:04,253 --> 00:12:08,322 Now, I'm gonna take a little bit of alizarin 183 00:12:08,346 --> 00:12:12,253 crimson and van dyke brown mixed together. 184 00:12:12,685 --> 00:12:16,101 And maybe we'll make, maybe there's a little coastline back here. 185 00:12:16,151 --> 00:12:23,465 Maybe there's a little hill that runs right down into the water. 186 00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:27,301 Just a basic shape. 187 00:12:29,558 --> 00:12:32,591 Now, we need to take a little bit more of the 188 00:12:32,615 --> 00:12:36,080 white and we're gonna splash some waves up on this. 189 00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:37,615 Barely touch. 190 00:12:39,195 --> 00:12:42,231 Give it a little upward pull like that. 191 00:12:42,281 --> 00:12:49,498 Makes it look like that water's hitting and splashing up the edges. 192 00:12:49,548 --> 00:12:53,602 Okay, little bit more of the brown and the crimson. 193 00:12:53,652 --> 00:12:55,484 And maybe we'll have another one right here. 194 00:12:55,534 --> 00:12:59,545 What the heck, we'll put this one in front and maybe he's 195 00:12:59,569 --> 00:13:03,534 a big almighty cliff that comes right down to the water. 196 00:13:04,983 --> 00:13:06,921 There. 197 00:13:06,945 --> 00:13:14,543 Just have your brush strokes go in the direction you want the land to flow. 198 00:13:14,593 --> 00:13:16,993 Okay now, once again, 199 00:13:18,134 --> 00:13:22,069 A little bit more of the white and we'll splash some up in here. 200 00:13:22,119 --> 00:13:27,523 Just let it hit and phew. 201 00:13:27,547 --> 00:13:32,004 Let that water slide up into the rocks. 202 00:13:36,178 --> 00:13:37,549 There we go. 203 00:13:40,864 --> 00:13:48,749 And over in here we need some happy little things that are happening. 204 00:13:55,192 --> 00:13:58,880 And if you wanted to, you could take and maybe put the 205 00:13:58,904 --> 00:14:02,409 silhouette of a few little trees back here on this. 206 00:14:02,459 --> 00:14:06,012 Just take your little fan brush and put them up. 207 00:14:06,062 --> 00:14:10,116 They're gonna be in trouble soon if there's a storm coming. 208 00:14:10,166 --> 00:14:15,221 And the liner brush with a little bit of oil. 209 00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:16,562 And just put some little trunks. 210 00:14:16,612 --> 00:14:21,297 All we want is silhouettes way back here. 211 00:14:21,697 --> 00:14:23,982 Just here and there. 212 00:14:24,132 --> 00:14:30,809 Just to give the indication there's something way, way back in the distance. 213 00:14:30,859 --> 00:14:31,859 There. 214 00:14:32,581 --> 00:14:38,457 Them trees are really gonna catch a devil in a few days. 215 00:14:38,507 --> 00:14:42,367 Okay, and we'll take a little bit of, we'll use a tiny bit of ochre 216 00:14:42,391 --> 00:14:46,507 color here and just very lightly put a little highlight here and there. 217 00:14:47,997 --> 00:14:48,874 Very, very lightly. 218 00:14:48,898 --> 00:14:52,787 Just enough to break it up a little. 219 00:14:52,837 --> 00:14:56,379 Make it look like little trees. 220 00:14:56,543 --> 00:14:58,316 Man, I told you this one was crazy. 221 00:14:58,366 --> 00:15:01,451 Are you enjoying it so far? 222 00:15:01,992 --> 00:15:02,088 Good. 223 00:15:02,112 --> 00:15:05,648 Okay, a little bit more of the white paint. 224 00:15:05,698 --> 00:15:07,832 Let's have an almighty wave in here. 225 00:15:07,882 --> 00:15:13,201 That son of a gun, boy, it just, it hits and splashes. 226 00:15:13,251 --> 00:15:14,809 Like so. 227 00:15:14,833 --> 00:15:15,975 Let it go. 228 00:15:17,491 --> 00:15:18,929 Let it go. 229 00:15:18,953 --> 00:15:24,611 And maybe it's really splashing here and we have foam every which way. 230 00:15:24,661 --> 00:15:31,567 A lot of foam. 231 00:15:31,591 --> 00:15:38,905 And now we can begin working on the shape of this big wave here. 232 00:15:39,783 --> 00:15:41,275 It's really a big wave. 233 00:15:41,325 --> 00:15:47,953 It's just piling up, getting ready to crash on some rocks. 234 00:15:51,916 --> 00:15:57,453 Maybe it's beginning to curl in some places, so let's just draw a little curl. 235 00:15:57,503 --> 00:16:01,369 And then we grab this white and pull it over, pull 236 00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:05,283 it over, pull it over, pull it over, just like so. 237 00:16:05,333 --> 00:16:06,933 Grab and pull. 238 00:16:08,858 --> 00:16:11,372 And that creates that. 239 00:16:13,344 --> 00:16:17,318 And if you want it to play a little bit, maybe, maybe, maybe, 240 00:16:17,342 --> 00:16:21,144 maybe, maybe there's a little light shining through there. 241 00:16:21,194 --> 00:16:26,676 And creating a nice little bright glow in there. 242 00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:33,518 We're gonna just put some yellow right on top of that and let it turn green. 243 00:16:33,568 --> 00:16:35,853 Little bit of white. 244 00:16:36,170 --> 00:16:40,627 Just let the light shine through there. 245 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,508 Okay, back to my white. 246 00:16:49,965 --> 00:16:51,336 There we go. 247 00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:55,920 These strokes are most, most important. 248 00:16:55,970 --> 00:17:02,033 Now, grab another fan brush here. 249 00:17:02,057 --> 00:17:05,895 A little bit of the straight blue, and I'm 250 00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:10,057 gonna darken right behind this, just a touch. 251 00:17:12,811 --> 00:17:14,639 Tiny little bit. 252 00:17:16,135 --> 00:17:19,220 Just darken it up a little. 253 00:17:24,188 --> 00:17:29,045 Now, we can come down here and begin playing a little bit. 254 00:17:29,095 --> 00:17:32,570 And let this water splash up and through here. 255 00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:39,559 Put it on and then we can take the big brush and dull it down a little. 256 00:17:39,609 --> 00:17:42,944 And let's make a happy little stone out here in the water. 257 00:17:42,994 --> 00:17:44,822 Like right here. 258 00:17:44,956 --> 00:17:47,630 Water's crashing up against him. 259 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,975 This is straight Van Dyke brown. 260 00:17:51,025 --> 00:17:54,058 Just a big old stone out here. 261 00:17:54,108 --> 00:17:56,540 See, you thought I'd made a mistake when I put that there. 262 00:17:56,590 --> 00:18:00,410 I knew it was gonna be there. 263 00:18:00,434 --> 00:18:03,860 Then I'll take just a little bit of umber, just straight 264 00:18:03,884 --> 00:18:07,211 umber, and we'll put a little highlight on this stone. 265 00:18:07,261 --> 00:18:13,661 It's quite dark, so we don't wanna use bright highlight. 266 00:18:14,268 --> 00:18:16,553 Just straight umber. 267 00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:22,090 Something like so. 268 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,079 Nice rugged stone. 269 00:18:33,103 --> 00:18:39,822 And we need some water that's splashing up on the stone here. 270 00:18:39,872 --> 00:18:46,272 Let that water run down it and follow right up the wave. 271 00:18:49,243 --> 00:18:53,058 There, let all these little foamy things happen. 272 00:18:53,108 --> 00:18:55,382 Now at home where you have unlimited time, you 273 00:18:55,406 --> 00:18:57,804 can have water dripping all over the sides here. 274 00:18:57,854 --> 00:19:00,967 Oh, there's just a multitude of things that you can do with this. 275 00:19:01,017 --> 00:19:03,871 It's really the idea we're trying to give you. 276 00:19:03,921 --> 00:19:09,258 And with that idea, then you're limited only by your imagination. 277 00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:11,560 Let's go right into here. 278 00:19:11,610 --> 00:19:14,684 Maybe there's another little stone here. 279 00:19:14,734 --> 00:19:18,189 These stones are such fun, let's just do several of them. 280 00:19:18,239 --> 00:19:19,610 Burnt umber. 281 00:19:21,423 --> 00:19:27,937 And we'll just lay a little highlight on top of this one. 282 00:19:31,443 --> 00:19:33,500 An almighty stone. 283 00:19:37,031 --> 00:19:41,528 Okay, now we need a little bit of water splashing around this one. 284 00:19:41,578 --> 00:19:45,174 Maybe there's even a little over here. 285 00:19:45,224 --> 00:19:52,195 And once again, make it look like it's running right up that. 286 00:19:57,650 --> 00:19:59,410 Just some little things happening down here. 287 00:19:59,452 --> 00:20:04,706 All kind of little actions are going on in here. 288 00:20:04,756 --> 00:20:11,156 Let all these little waves splash and play and have fun. 289 00:20:16,726 --> 00:20:19,226 Now if you're painting along with us at home, I 290 00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:21,720 bet you never believed you could perform this. 291 00:20:21,770 --> 00:20:25,604 Could do a seascape like this in just a matter of minutes. 292 00:20:25,654 --> 00:20:29,055 Think what you could do if you took your time. 293 00:20:29,105 --> 00:20:32,305 There's really no end to it. 294 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:40,549 Okay, now we'll just lift up a little bit, just to quieten that down a touch. 295 00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:47,134 And, maybe, heck, we're having so much fun with stones here, maybe there's another 296 00:20:47,158 --> 00:20:50,980 one over in here somewhere that the wave's just fixing to sneak up and get. 297 00:20:55,254 --> 00:21:01,505 You can put as many of these in as you want, just let them happen. 298 00:21:01,555 --> 00:21:05,783 And a little more of the burnt umber. 299 00:21:06,235 --> 00:21:07,235 Touch. 300 00:21:07,883 --> 00:21:10,911 There's absolutely no pressure on the knife when 301 00:21:10,935 --> 00:21:14,242 you're doing this, when you make these little rocks. 302 00:21:14,292 --> 00:21:15,904 No pressure at all. 303 00:21:15,954 --> 00:21:20,010 It's literally, it's just the paint touching the canvas. 304 00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:22,653 In your mind, remember, the blade's not touching the canvas. 305 00:21:22,703 --> 00:21:25,998 It's only the paint, and there's no pressure. 306 00:21:26,048 --> 00:21:29,683 No pressure, it's just barely, barely touching. 307 00:21:29,733 --> 00:21:33,022 If you push hard, you're gonna just mush it in 308 00:21:33,046 --> 00:21:36,504 there, and it'll look like you decorated a cake. 309 00:21:36,554 --> 00:21:39,907 Okay, now, put a little bit of foam right around here. 310 00:21:39,957 --> 00:21:43,691 Just let it splash right up the rocks. 311 00:21:43,741 --> 00:21:48,115 Make that action fast when you do it, just real quick. 312 00:21:48,165 --> 00:21:51,707 Makes it happen so much better. 313 00:21:52,168 --> 00:21:55,415 Now, if you wanted to show a little bit of water, maybe 314 00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:59,245 dribbling over the rocks in places, use a very, very thin paint. 315 00:21:59,295 --> 00:22:00,446 Thin it with magic white. 316 00:22:00,496 --> 00:22:03,238 Make it very, very thin. 317 00:22:04,439 --> 00:22:05,581 And touch, 318 00:22:06,338 --> 00:22:10,109 And just barely, barely touch it. 319 00:22:10,284 --> 00:22:11,696 Barely, barely touch it. 320 00:22:11,746 --> 00:22:13,117 Let it play. 321 00:22:15,492 --> 00:22:21,371 See how you can make that water just dribble right over the rocks? 322 00:22:21,421 --> 00:22:25,423 Okay. 323 00:22:25,447 --> 00:22:26,447 Like so. 324 00:22:29,673 --> 00:22:34,450 And maybe there's a little water coming right across the top here. 325 00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:38,157 And just running down this rock. 326 00:22:39,295 --> 00:22:42,646 With all this splashing and foam carrying on here, there's 327 00:22:42,670 --> 00:22:45,812 got to be little puddles all up on the top up in here. 328 00:22:45,862 --> 00:22:48,535 So just let this water dribble. 329 00:22:48,585 --> 00:22:51,078 Dribble, that's a word I learned in the South. 330 00:22:51,128 --> 00:22:52,270 I like it. 331 00:22:57,756 --> 00:23:00,314 We've been doing a lot of classes for our friends 332 00:23:00,338 --> 00:23:02,551 in Florida, and they are fantastic people. 333 00:23:02,601 --> 00:23:05,775 We have really enjoyed being there. 334 00:23:05,825 --> 00:23:06,825 Okay. 335 00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:18,561 Just very gently touch it a little bit and that'll take some of the brightness away. 336 00:23:18,611 --> 00:23:21,645 Just blends it into the colors underneath. 337 00:23:21,695 --> 00:23:25,552 Now, in case you joined a little bit late, let me quickly go over what we've done 338 00:23:25,576 --> 00:23:29,457 here because this is so radically different than anything we've done in the past. 339 00:23:29,507 --> 00:23:33,024 I started with a canvas that the bottom part of it is 340 00:23:33,048 --> 00:23:36,989 painted black with a flat black acrylic and allowed to dry. 341 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,696 The top remains white. 342 00:23:38,746 --> 00:23:42,400 We cover the top with a thin layer of magic white. 343 00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:46,905 On the bottom here, I made a big circle of phthalo green. 344 00:23:46,955 --> 00:23:51,142 And around that circle, I put mostly phthalo blue, 345 00:23:51,166 --> 00:23:54,955 and then right around in here, Prussian blue. 346 00:23:55,463 --> 00:23:57,095 Or you can do it all in Prussian blue. 347 00:23:57,145 --> 00:24:01,001 You really don't need the phthalo blue, but if you have it, it's 348 00:24:01,025 --> 00:24:04,663 a very warm, sparkly blue that you might enjoy playing with. 349 00:24:04,713 --> 00:24:10,117 Then blend it all together with long, horizontal and vertical strokes. 350 00:24:10,167 --> 00:24:11,767 Right in here. 351 00:24:11,829 --> 00:24:13,301 And then we begin. 352 00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:16,084 The colors that we use are transparent. 353 00:24:16,134 --> 00:24:19,728 Be sure these colors under the black canvas are transparent. 354 00:24:19,778 --> 00:24:22,998 If there's any doubt in your mind, put a little bit on some black and look at it. 355 00:24:23,022 --> 00:24:26,336 If it doesn't look black still, then they're not transparent. 356 00:24:26,386 --> 00:24:30,386 But phthalo blue, phthalo green, sap green, Prussian blue, alizarin crimson, all of 357 00:24:30,410 --> 00:24:34,386 these are very, very transparent colors and you can do fantastic things with them. 358 00:24:36,458 --> 00:24:39,331 And practice using them in combinations. 359 00:24:39,381 --> 00:24:43,796 Some of the pictures we do, we use stripes of different transparent color. 360 00:24:43,846 --> 00:24:45,398 So play with it at home. 361 00:24:45,448 --> 00:24:47,840 You won't believe what you can do. 362 00:24:47,890 --> 00:24:50,042 Sometimes I talk too much. 363 00:24:50,092 --> 00:24:53,706 So I think we'll sign this painting, and I hope you've enjoyed it. 364 00:24:53,756 --> 00:24:57,805 I hope it's given you a lot of fantastic ideas, and will 365 00:24:57,829 --> 00:25:01,756 start your mind working, your imagination going crazy. 366 00:25:03,053 --> 00:25:06,007 And you too will come up with some unbelievable paintings. 367 00:25:06,057 --> 00:25:07,368 So let's sign this one. 368 00:25:07,418 --> 00:25:09,036 I thinned the paint with a little bit of oil. 369 00:25:09,060 --> 00:25:16,549 And turn it to bring it to a nice, sharp point. 370 00:25:17,811 --> 00:25:18,811 Turn it. 371 00:25:21,815 --> 00:25:22,815 Okay. 372 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:32,000 My signature in red really stands out against this blue. 373 00:25:33,327 --> 00:25:35,331 But now once again, we've mentioned on 374 00:25:35,355 --> 00:25:37,704 other shows, let us know what you wanna see. 375 00:25:37,754 --> 00:25:40,594 And in the future, we'll try to produce paintings 376 00:25:40,618 --> 00:25:43,774 that you want at home or that you need some help with. 377 00:25:43,824 --> 00:25:45,917 So I think we're gonna call this painting finished. 378 00:25:45,967 --> 00:25:49,563 The old clock on the wall tells me it's time to go and leave you for today. 379 00:25:49,613 --> 00:25:53,539 So on behalf of everybody here at WIPB, we'd like to wish 380 00:25:53,563 --> 00:25:57,375 each and every one of you happy painting and God bless. 381 00:25:57,425 --> 00:26:01,191 Have a good day. 382 00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:15,114 Oh.
