00:00:14,309 --> 00:00:15,389

Hey, welcome back.

00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:19,080

I'm certainly glad you could join me

because today's a special day today.

00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,450

I have a couple of guests that

I want to introduce you to.

00:00:22,049 --> 00:00:25,830

These are two little baby Robins and

they're some of the cutest little Rascals.

00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:29,939

Hey, what's he going to do my fingers?

00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:30,990

Yes.

00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,190

We've made these two little Robbins,

two of our camera people here.

00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:36,390

I've introduce you.

00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:39,510

This is fast because

she talks all the time.

00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:43,260

And this is Richard and Tim Richard,

because his hair is coming out.

00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:48,870

So these are special little things, and

they're just as cute as they can be.

00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,290

They're just a couple of

weeks old and they are hungry.

00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:53,160

They're always hungry.

00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,260

You are so cute.

00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,239

Can I tell you why I started out today and

have run all the colors across the screen

00:01:03,839 --> 00:01:05,610

that you need to paint along with me?

00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:08,550

And while we're doing that, I'm

looking at these little guys down

00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,470

and I'll be right with you here.

00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:15,990

Oh, those kids were

sitting right there today.

00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:19,520

I have the good old standard 18

by 24 inch canvas, but we've done

00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,720

something a little bit different.

00:01:21,229 --> 00:01:24,050

So if we'll come right up

here, let me show you now then.

00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:27,900

I've painted all of this with

black Jesso and I've allowed that

00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:29,730

black Jesso to completely dry.

00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:33,570

And then on top of that, I've

covered it with a transparent color.

00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:36,240

And I made this color from

a mixture of Prussian blue,

00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000

Vandyke Brown and SAP green.

00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,930

And I put the Vandyke Brown in

there only to Dole the color.

00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:44,340

And I've left this area open.

00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:47,790

And then we've covered that with

liquid white and that's good and wet.

00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:52,040

So, and all you do here is

take this transparent color

00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:54,230

and just really work it out.

00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:58,370

All we're looking for is a nice,

thin even coat that may very well

00:01:58,370 --> 00:02:02,240

be the hardest part of this whole

painting is just to get that on there.

00:02:03,135 --> 00:02:08,475

So now then, and here we're the same

color we want to begin putting in some

00:02:08,475 --> 00:02:13,305

basic little shapes that will indicate

little leaves and stuff later on.

00:02:13,905 --> 00:02:17,925

So we take that same color and then

just begin tapping in to allow it

00:02:17,925 --> 00:02:20,085

to, to mix with the liquid white.

00:02:21,585 --> 00:02:22,065

See there.

00:02:22,565 --> 00:02:26,405

And already it begins giving you some

very basic little shapes of some big

00:02:26,405 --> 00:02:27,725

trees that are hanging over here.

00:02:28,835 --> 00:02:30,935

And later on, we'll really enjoy that.

00:02:31,295 --> 00:02:32,285

We'll just have a good time.

00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:34,985

We'll come back and we'll put highlights

and we'll make big branches and

00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:37,355

leaves all kinds of little things.

00:02:38,265 --> 00:02:43,185

All we're looking for now is

just a very, very basic shapes.

00:02:43,455 --> 00:02:43,995

Just blank.

00:02:43,995 --> 00:02:47,085

So this black Jesso is fantastic.

00:02:47,985 --> 00:02:49,605

It does so many wonderful things.

00:02:49,605 --> 00:02:52,155

It may be one of the neatest

things that I've ever invented.

00:02:53,175 --> 00:02:55,215

I don't know why it wasn't

done a long time ago.

00:02:56,895 --> 00:03:02,325

It's the same as white Jesso,

but it's just dark already.

00:03:02,325 --> 00:03:03,855

We have a basic shape in.

00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:09,930

Okay, now let's take another two

inch brush would make us a happy

00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:11,130

little sky in this painting.

00:03:11,310 --> 00:03:12,930

And for that, I'm going to add.

00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:19,200

Small amount of filo blue and tap

the bristles firmly, tap them.

00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:20,070

Okay.

00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,570

That sure.

00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:24,290

A nice even distribution of color

all the way through the bristles and

00:03:24,290 --> 00:03:28,880

have very lightly, very lightly just

making little crisscross strokes.

00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,630

We'll just put in a happy little sky back

here between those tree branches there.

00:03:36,435 --> 00:03:39,645

And just let it get lighter and lighter

and lighter down toward the horizon.

00:03:40,575 --> 00:03:40,875

Shoot.

00:03:40,875 --> 00:03:44,205

You might even go back in here and add the

least little touch of alizarin Crimson.

00:03:44,235 --> 00:03:44,835

Take your brush.

00:03:45,615 --> 00:03:47,955

Just to change the flavor

a little bit down in here.

00:03:50,025 --> 00:03:54,285

We'll bring it right on down there.

00:03:54,435 --> 00:03:57,465

Now I'm going to wash the brush and we

wash our brush with odorless thinner.

00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:04,155

Shake off the excess and just

beat the devil out of it.

00:04:05,895 --> 00:04:07,035

Take a little titanium white.

00:04:07,035 --> 00:04:08,595

I want a bright spot right in here.

00:04:10,725 --> 00:04:11,385

There we go.

00:04:11,505 --> 00:04:17,385

And blend up or come down with

dark color upward with light color

00:04:18,015 --> 00:04:21,165

and it makes a beautiful little

lavender area right in there.

00:04:23,385 --> 00:04:23,805

Easy.

00:04:24,345 --> 00:04:24,885

Okay.

00:04:26,685 --> 00:04:28,845

Now maybe, maybe back here in our world.

00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:32,505

I think it is an indication

of just a happy little cloud

00:04:32,505 --> 00:04:33,735

or to this floating around.

00:04:34,245 --> 00:04:38,625

So we just take titanium white on the

fan brush and decide where you think

00:04:38,625 --> 00:04:42,255

maybe a little cloud lives and just, we

just want some little indication of some

00:04:42,255 --> 00:04:46,215

floaters that, uh, we often the distance,

we're not going to see much of this.

00:04:46,215 --> 00:04:47,565

So don't worry about it too much.

00:04:47,675 --> 00:04:50,675

Maybe there's another one

right here, wherever you want.

00:04:50,945 --> 00:04:53,675

Just sort of make a big

decision and drop them.

00:04:53,675 --> 00:04:53,915

Yeah.

00:04:55,905 --> 00:05:01,065

Take a two inch brush, gently blend

the base of it, fluff it, just fluff

00:05:01,065 --> 00:05:05,175

it up and blend it out and that easy.

00:05:05,235 --> 00:05:07,845

We've got some happy little clouds

back here in the background.

00:05:09,225 --> 00:05:10,875

Now then maybe.

00:05:13,005 --> 00:05:15,705

To me, this is sort of like looking

through a big group of trees and

00:05:15,885 --> 00:05:17,325

maybe there's a scene back there.

00:05:17,805 --> 00:05:21,784

So for that, I'm going to take some

vendors like Brown, little Vandyke, Brown,

00:05:22,775 --> 00:05:26,555

get a little black, just mix them on the

brush or a little touch of the Crimson.

00:05:27,305 --> 00:05:28,445

Be right back, right back.

00:05:28,775 --> 00:05:35,945

A little white they're Brown, black

little Crimson, and white load.

00:05:35,945 --> 00:05:37,055

A lot of color in the brush.

00:05:37,715 --> 00:05:39,905

Maybe you can see the

indication of some nice little.

100

00:05:40,225 --> 00:05:43,035

Little mountains that live

we're back here in the distance.

101

00:05:44,565 --> 00:05:44,985

There.

102

00:05:45,225 --> 00:05:50,055

Just take the corner of the fan brush

and lay in a very basic little shape

103

00:05:50,055 --> 00:05:52,995

and let it blend downward, getting

lighter and lighter as it works down.

104

00:05:54,765 --> 00:05:56,505

Very little color on the canvas.

105

00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:00,525

I say it's very simple

to change and add shapes.

106

00:06:00,705 --> 00:06:04,485

Make any way you want them

and nail where you want to and

107

00:06:04,485 --> 00:06:05,655

would take a two inch brush.

108

00:06:06,555 --> 00:06:07,095

Grab that.

109

00:06:07,815 --> 00:06:16,155

And Paul just put in your brush strokes

can create the illusion of highlights

110

00:06:16,155 --> 00:06:17,685

and shadows back here in your mountain.

111

00:06:17,775 --> 00:06:20,505

That easy, that easy.

112

00:06:20,835 --> 00:06:23,535

Now then we'll go back

into just a touch of it.

113

00:06:23,535 --> 00:06:27,405

They little blue, little

touch, little touch.

114

00:06:27,405 --> 00:06:29,925

Maybe I'll grab the least little

touch with the lizard Crimson.

115

00:06:31,395 --> 00:06:31,755

Okay.

116

00:06:32,145 --> 00:06:34,575

Now maybe there's a little

light counter this mountain

117

00:06:34,575 --> 00:06:36,795

far away, pull straight down.

118

00:06:36,825 --> 00:06:39,315

Just make a decision where you

think your little Lake should live,

119

00:06:39,495 --> 00:06:49,455

pull straight down, like so, and

then very lightly go across easy.

120

00:06:49,485 --> 00:06:51,165

Just go right across, maybe.

121

00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,480

Maybe we'll take a little black

little SAP green, I'll be right back.

122

00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:58,980

A little touch of the white into it.

123

00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,120

Now then maybe back in here.

124

00:07:03,870 --> 00:07:08,690

Just touch, give a little upward push Amy.

125

00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:11,360

There's just an indication of some

little trees that grow right at the

126

00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,420

base of this mountain far, far away,

back here in the distance, but don't,

127

00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:22,040

don't get too much detail in here or

you'll learn that illusion of distance.

128

00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:23,070

Man.

129

00:07:23,070 --> 00:07:28,080

I did a little touch of the liquid white,

but the knife with the least little

130

00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,130

touch of the bright red and it just a

warm it up a little li little touch.

131

00:07:32,130 --> 00:07:36,719

So you don't want to, don't want to set

it on, fire it out, flat, cut across,

132

00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,940

and it would go right up in here.

133

00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,469

Just put the indication of a

little water line back here.

134

00:07:44,849 --> 00:07:47,070

Just a little light area

in between these darks.

135

00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:49,680

Make everything sparkle, just come alive.

136

00:07:53,115 --> 00:08:00,765

And that's something very

nice, very easy, and it's fun.

137

00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:08,535

And we get, we get letters every day from

people who have, they have discovered what

138

00:08:08,535 --> 00:08:10,485

it is to paint and how much fun it can be.

139

00:08:11,205 --> 00:08:14,295

I get letters from people that

tell me that they had retired

140

00:08:14,295 --> 00:08:15,465

maybe from their job and.

141

00:08:16,365 --> 00:08:17,805

I thought they wasn't going

to have anything to do.

142

00:08:17,805 --> 00:08:21,885

And just by accident, they happen to

find the show and they decided to try it.

143

00:08:22,125 --> 00:08:24,125

And son of a gun, they got hooked.

144

00:08:25,415 --> 00:08:30,125

I got hooked and opened a whole new world

to just absolutely a whole new world.

145

00:08:30,905 --> 00:08:32,135

And you can do that too.

146

00:08:32,675 --> 00:08:35,555

If you haven't tried this,

you should give it a try.

147

00:08:36,065 --> 00:08:36,245

Okay.

148

00:08:36,245 --> 00:08:39,635

I've mixed some suppression, blues

and SAP green, a little Brown.

149

00:08:40,545 --> 00:08:43,125

Let a touch of Elysium crams

and to make a very dark color.

150

00:08:44,325 --> 00:08:45,945

Now, then we'll just

use the old fan brush.

151

00:08:45,975 --> 00:08:48,255

What the heck, let's see.

152

00:08:48,255 --> 00:08:52,575

When we did this black Jesso, how we

put the original black Jesso, we had

153

00:08:52,575 --> 00:08:56,445

a basic idea of what was going to

do, but that's all just a basic idea.

154

00:08:57,135 --> 00:08:59,535

So now we can begin adding

all these little details.

155

00:09:00,195 --> 00:09:01,785

This is where you have to make decisions.

156

00:09:02,505 --> 00:09:06,165

Maybe there's some little

evergreens that live right here.

157

00:09:07,215 --> 00:09:07,755

Maybe like.

158

00:09:08,220 --> 00:09:14,910

Maybe sorta over Hill and you just see in

the top something, I don't know, just make

159

00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:20,760

a decision and drop it in that's what's

so fantastic about this style of painting.

160

00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:23,490

There are no accidents.

161

00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:25,440

There are no mistakes.

162

00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:27,900

Just work with it.

163

00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,360

Then you have fun painting.

164

00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,580

Painting should make you happy.

165

00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:35,250

It doesn't make you happy.

166

00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,320

Then you're doing their own thing.

167

00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:43,010

Is there anything in your life,

what you do should make you happy.

168

00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,650

It shouldn't bring joy to you.

169

00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:47,360

Then you're doing the right thing.

170

00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,240

She does enough unhappy stuff.

171

00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:50,810

And the old world.

172

00:09:51,795 --> 00:09:52,845

Enjoy what you're doing.

173

00:09:52,845 --> 00:09:55,095

Let's take, I got the

old, dirty brush here.

174

00:09:56,835 --> 00:10:00,045

We'd take a little candy.

175

00:10:00,045 --> 00:10:02,775

I'll reach over here and get some

yellow ochre, little Indian, yellow.

176

00:10:02,775 --> 00:10:04,575

We just want to mix them

together on the brush.

177

00:10:05,715 --> 00:10:09,045

A little touch samp green hair.

178

00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:13,710

Yeah, just tap a little color

in there and we have to start

179

00:10:13,710 --> 00:10:14,939

making some big decisions.

180

00:10:14,939 --> 00:10:16,079

Where does our land live here?

181

00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:16,980

How does it flow?

182

00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:20,819

This is where the lay of the

land is created and we take this

183

00:10:20,819 --> 00:10:24,150

brush with color and all you have

to do is just touch the canvas.

184

00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,199

Just sort of tap it.

185

00:10:26,155 --> 00:10:28,845

Just happens, you know,

using that is just tap.

186

00:10:29,324 --> 00:10:32,775

But the lay of the land now becomes

very important and darker, darker,

187

00:10:32,775 --> 00:10:34,334

darker, back up in here in the shadows.

188

00:10:36,975 --> 00:10:39,135

Let's say that instantly pushes that area.

189

00:10:39,615 --> 00:10:41,025

Right back into the distance.

190

00:10:42,585 --> 00:10:43,215

There we go.

191

00:10:45,765 --> 00:10:47,865

Now there's all different

planes in your world.

192

00:10:48,975 --> 00:10:51,255

Different time angles shapes.

193

00:10:52,725 --> 00:10:53,385

Think about them.

194

00:10:53,865 --> 00:10:55,155

Don't just hit it random.

195

00:10:55,215 --> 00:10:58,215

Think about how, how the

land flows in your world.

196

00:10:59,535 --> 00:11:00,015

Look at there.

197

00:11:00,065 --> 00:11:01,185

See here's a whole nother.

198

00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:05,850

Another little Dewar there, there we go.

199

00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:08,430

Darker, darker, darker over in here.

200

00:11:08,430 --> 00:11:10,260

There's shadows because these

trees are going to create

201

00:11:10,290 --> 00:11:13,680

big shadows, bagel, shadows.

202

00:11:16,020 --> 00:11:16,230

All right.

203

00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:16,980

Those little Robbins.

204

00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:17,310

Cute.

205

00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:22,350

But here are some of the nicest

little sign of against, I think maybe.

206

00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:26,720

Robinson and Mockingbird seem to

have the best personality of all

207

00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,770

the birds that I've worked with.

208

00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:29,570

Small birds.

209

00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:35,510

They are just absolutely

super little characters.

210

00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:38,330

There we go.

211

00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:44,120

A lot of times in Aetna and that's

my partner and at night go around

212

00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,240

and we look at little birds and

stuff, and we've even been known

213

00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,650

to go out in the canoe and find.

214

00:11:49,035 --> 00:11:52,635

Find a little bird nest and look

at it and then take pictures of it.

215

00:11:52,635 --> 00:11:59,115

As we, as we watch it over a period of

time, that's a lot of fun and probably in

216

00:11:59,115 --> 00:12:03,495

your area, you've got some happy little

birds too, without disturbing them.

217

00:12:03,615 --> 00:12:07,785

You can observe them and see

some of God's greatest creations

218

00:12:08,175 --> 00:12:09,435

and just these little creatures.

219

00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:12,750

There we go.

220

00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,859

We all need to, we all need to take care

of these little Rascals, treat them nice.

221

00:12:24,829 --> 00:12:28,640

Can we just keep going on and on here just

for you home, maybe you can hear them.

222

00:12:28,699 --> 00:12:30,890

The Rascals in the background,

they think it's time to be fed.

223

00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,190

First little baby birds are like

little, little people, children.

224

00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,890

They think they need to

be fed every few minutes.

225

00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:42,870

There we go.

226

00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:45,390

Okay.

227

00:12:45,420 --> 00:12:46,320

But just tapping.

228

00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,890

So you look at all the different layers

that are created in this painting already.

229

00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:53,349

In painting, that's created by planes.

230

00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:54,760

So we have several here.

231

00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,880

There is one, there is one, there's

another one and right on up.

232

00:12:59,349 --> 00:13:01,870

That's what creates

that illusion of depth.

233

00:13:03,219 --> 00:13:05,680

Now I'm going to start letting

this get darker and darker.

234

00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,329

As we work back here into the shadows.

235

00:13:09,189 --> 00:13:14,439

There we are darker and

darker, just tapping.

236

00:13:16,275 --> 00:13:17,835

Less and less color on the brush.

237

00:13:18,225 --> 00:13:21,435

And the more you tap this, the darker

it'll become because that color, this

238

00:13:21,435 --> 00:13:24,345

on the canvas will bleed through.

239

00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:27,225

It'll come through the more you tap

because you mix these colors together.

240

00:13:29,025 --> 00:13:29,315

You there.

241

00:13:33,285 --> 00:13:36,255

Jude, we just let's just do all

this little grass here is that

242

00:13:36,255 --> 00:13:37,575

it looks like such a nice place.

243

00:13:38,115 --> 00:13:41,895

It's one of the places where he liked

to take off your shoes and just sort

244

00:13:41,895 --> 00:13:43,185

of run barefooted through there.

245

00:13:44,265 --> 00:13:48,255

Makes you toes feel funny there.

246

00:13:48,525 --> 00:13:51,395

I like to feel fresh

grass on my little foot.

247

00:13:51,395 --> 00:13:57,225

So as somebody who's going to argue

until you get big foot, there we go.

248

00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:01,080

Okay.

249

00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,330

And by this getting darker, it looks

closer to you in the landscape.

250

00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:13,130

And you know, this already, I know in

the landscape, things should get darker

251

00:14:13,130 --> 00:14:14,570

and darker as they get closer to you.

252

00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,600

And it creates that illusion of distance.

253

00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:17,930

Also,

254

00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:23,990

it looks like a little metal.

255

00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:31,530

There were just layer after

layer, but started in the area.

256

00:14:31,530 --> 00:14:33,570

That's the furthest away and work forward.

257

00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,890

Always work in layers,

always work in layers.

258

00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:41,250

Okay.

259

00:14:41,670 --> 00:14:45,450

Now that nah, let's have some fun.

260

00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360

Maybe we'll use the old liner brush.

261

00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:48,180

It doesn't matter.

262

00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,040

We'll take a little take, come and

grab a little more paint than her hair.

263

00:14:53,970 --> 00:14:55,680

We'll take some Vandyke Brown

264

00:14:58,830 --> 00:15:00,840

and load this brush full of color.

265

00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,980

There's a little white in there too.

266

00:15:01,980 --> 00:15:02,580

Vendetta Brown.

267

00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:03,120

I'll reach down here.

268

00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,689

I'll be right back.

269

00:15:03,689 --> 00:15:04,470

Get a little more white.

270

00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:06,480

I'll get a little more thinner.

271

00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:12,360

This has to be very thin to make it flow

in this canvas and load a lot of paint.

272

00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:14,700

Turn the bristles turn

it's most important.

273

00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:16,410

It brings it back to a nice sharp point.

274

00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:17,730

Now then.

275

00:15:18,675 --> 00:15:22,665

Maybe we have a big tree

lives her right in here.

276

00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:27,665

There you go.

277

00:15:28,204 --> 00:15:30,844

Let him run right on up there.

278

00:15:35,854 --> 00:15:38,405

And you could do this with

a fan brusher or whatever.

279

00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:39,094

It doesn't matter.

280

00:15:40,354 --> 00:15:41,645

Finer brush was just laying there.

281

00:15:41,645 --> 00:15:45,724

So it was easiest to use there.

282

00:15:47,610 --> 00:15:50,370

And maybe over here, you can

make out a few little things.

283

00:15:50,730 --> 00:15:54,420

And if you have trouble making your

paint flow, add more paint thinner,

284

00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:58,730

because if it's thin it will flow here.

285

00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,189

Cause there's paint that

we use is extremely thick.

286

00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:07,100

It's very thick, very dry.

287

00:16:08,329 --> 00:16:12,470

If you have a thin oily paint, you're

going to become a mud mixer and then

288

00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:14,990

you're going to be very upset with

me and we don't want that to happen.

289

00:16:15,420 --> 00:16:18,030

Be sure your paints

very, very dry and firm.

290

00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,979

And a lot of times when you go to the art

store, they'll tell you it doesn't matter.

291

00:16:23,729 --> 00:16:27,359

But in this particular

technique, it really does matter.

292

00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:33,290

Okay.

293

00:16:35,085 --> 00:16:36,825

It's like, it's like odorless dinner.

294

00:16:36,825 --> 00:16:38,105

I have people write me all the time.

295

00:16:38,125 --> 00:16:40,545

They said they went to the hardware store

and they bought some odorless thinner.

296

00:16:40,545 --> 00:16:44,235

And the men swore to him, it

was older than they got home and

297

00:16:44,235 --> 00:16:47,055

opened the can and they can't even

stay in the same house with it.

298

00:16:47,475 --> 00:16:51,255

I'd recommend when you bought odor

this thinner to open the can in the

299

00:16:51,255 --> 00:16:56,145

store and have a snip you'll know

instantly whether it's odor this or not.

300

00:16:56,895 --> 00:16:57,975

Now then let's put some.

301

00:16:58,319 --> 00:16:59,939

Beautiful little leaves

and stuff out here.

302

00:16:59,939 --> 00:17:04,139

I'm going to dip the brush into a

small amount of the liquid white first.

303

00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:10,319

And we dipped it in there only to

thin it only to thin it because

304

00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,210

remember our golden rule, a thin

paint will stick to a thick paint.

305

00:17:15,210 --> 00:17:20,639

Be right back, get a little green there

we are dark and down a little bit.

306

00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,669

Now tap the bristle select.

307

00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:26,879

So let's see the angle that's

most important to load it.

308

00:17:27,855 --> 00:17:28,605

Let's go right up here.

309

00:17:29,514 --> 00:17:32,804

Now, maybe there's some big trees

hanging over here and you to

310

00:17:32,804 --> 00:17:34,064

make a decision where they live.

311

00:17:34,215 --> 00:17:35,985

Let's start over here.

312

00:17:36,915 --> 00:17:39,615

So she was the corner of the one

inch brush or the two inch brush.

313

00:17:39,615 --> 00:17:43,665

It didn't make any difference and

begin laying in all kinds of little

314

00:17:43,665 --> 00:17:48,285

things, but just the corner of

the brush, whichever brushy use.

315

00:17:49,425 --> 00:17:52,575

Maybe we'll do one on one side with a

one inch brush and the other side with a

316

00:17:52,575 --> 00:17:56,085

two inch, just to show you the effects.

317

00:17:56,775 --> 00:17:59,475

Think about clumps in here.

318

00:17:59,895 --> 00:18:00,645

Groupings.

319

00:18:00,705 --> 00:18:02,205

Don't just throw these on at random.

320

00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:05,610

Think about the individual

leaf and limb shapes.

321

00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:08,330

There we are.

322

00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:12,920

I know sometimes on the television

screen that looks like you're just

323

00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,960

thrown in helter-skelter okay.

324

00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:18,410

But look at it shapes.

325

00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:23,090

Think about the limbs, the branches

inside of the tree, that whole, all these

326

00:18:23,090 --> 00:18:26,030

little Rascals up think like a tree.

327

00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:28,140

There.

328

00:18:30,290 --> 00:18:33,230

Gosh, if you're an artist, you

know, you can do things like that.

329

00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,080

People expect you to be different.

330

00:18:36,890 --> 00:18:37,310

All right.

331

00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:39,050

So, all right.

332

00:18:39,050 --> 00:18:42,290

First time I told my mother, I

was trying to think like a tree.

333

00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,900

She sort of looked at me a little

strange, but I was always sort of strange.

334

00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:48,410

Anyway.

335

00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:51,590

She didn't think too much of it.

336

00:18:53,810 --> 00:18:55,460

She still thinks I'm strange today.

337

00:18:56,775 --> 00:19:00,555

There we are, but artists

have that artists license.

338

00:19:00,585 --> 00:19:03,015

You can do anything at

least on his canvas.

339

00:19:03,915 --> 00:19:07,725

Anything that you want to do maybe

down in here, we'll get into some

340

00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:11,175

little, maybe there's some little

trees that live all down in here.

341

00:19:11,955 --> 00:19:15,105

So you just think about little

individuals, give them names,

342

00:19:16,095 --> 00:19:17,415

just like I do with the Robbins.

343

00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:21,300

Just give them names,

make friends with them.

344

00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:21,720

Shoot.

345

00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:23,310

Maybe there's another one that lives here.

346

00:19:24,850 --> 00:19:27,690

Each painting is going to

be unique and different.

347

00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:34,110

I really suggest that when you do your

own painting, don't just try to copy.

348

00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,480

I want to give you a technique to use

and then turn you loose on the world.

349

00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:43,860

Because once you know the

technique, then you can do anything.

350

00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:46,230

You can literally do anything.

351

00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:53,040

All you have to do is create a vision

in your mind and believe that you can

352

00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,560

do it because we can do anything in

this life that we believe we can do.

353

00:19:59,010 --> 00:20:00,270

If you believe strong enough.

354

00:20:01,290 --> 00:20:02,550

Anything is possible.

355

00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:10,440

Anything is possible there and you believe

in yourself because you're the greatest

356

00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,080

thing that has ever been or ever will be.

357

00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:15,570

And you're special.

358

00:20:15,930 --> 00:20:17,010

You're very special.

359

00:20:17,910 --> 00:20:18,330

There we go.

360

00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:22,770

See the little bushes, they

just jumped right in there.

361

00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:26,130

And you can put as many or as

few as you want in your world.

362

00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:27,780

It doesn't matter.

363

00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:31,620

I promised I'd do the other side with a

large brush, just so you could see it.

364

00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,140

So we'll just take a large brush.

365

00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:38,370

I just got a dirty one here and

we loaded exactly the same way.

366

00:20:38,650 --> 00:20:39,780

Little yellow ochre, Lillian.

367

00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:43,250

Hello there.

368

00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:44,960

Tap those bristles away.

369

00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:46,370

It's very important.

370

00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,580

You can see how it's pushing up that

little, little roll of paint right there.

371

00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,270

You can see it.

372

00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:50,900

See it right here.

373

00:20:51,885 --> 00:20:52,754

Push into that.

374

00:20:52,995 --> 00:20:55,185

That's what loads, the

tips of those bristles.

375

00:20:55,335 --> 00:20:59,655

Now, then maybe in this big

old tree here, we'll just have

376

00:20:59,655 --> 00:21:01,245

easily just hang right over here.

377

00:21:02,955 --> 00:21:08,804

A lot of people will find that this big

brush works much easier and the effects

378

00:21:08,804 --> 00:21:10,845

are much nicer than the little brush.

379

00:21:11,655 --> 00:21:13,274

It's sort of an individual thing.

380

00:21:13,995 --> 00:21:15,375

Practice it both ways.

381

00:21:15,855 --> 00:21:21,645

Decide which one you like, and then

that's the right way for you there.

382

00:21:23,264 --> 00:21:25,655

Whatever works is exactly right.

383

00:21:30,225 --> 00:21:36,725

But either way you do it, you still need

to think about shape and form and the

384

00:21:36,725 --> 00:21:41,735

individual little creatures and branches

and all that that's inside of this tree.

385

00:21:43,325 --> 00:21:46,175

You know, I'm always saying, make a

place for the little birds to sit.

386

00:21:47,435 --> 00:21:48,905

That's a good way of remembering.

387

00:21:49,385 --> 00:21:52,565

Think about these little characters, so

they need a place to put their foot's.

388

00:21:53,465 --> 00:21:53,765

So.

389

00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:59,340

Just leave little areas where

they can fly in and get in there

390

00:21:59,340 --> 00:22:01,620

and get to all the goodies.

391

00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:03,450

There we are.

392

00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:06,420

Okay.

393

00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,130

And is Minnie and his few, you

are, there are no rules here.

394

00:22:14,370 --> 00:22:17,370

See you there one after the other.

395

00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:18,930

Don't get the big hurry.

396

00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:21,090

Don't get in a big hurry.

397

00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:22,470

Just take your time and enjoy.

398

00:22:24,930 --> 00:22:25,770

Just enjoy.

399

00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:26,670

It's important.

400

00:22:27,090 --> 00:22:29,669

That you are happy with what you're doing.

401

00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,439

Very important.

402

00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:33,840

Life's too short to be miserable.

403

00:22:35,370 --> 00:22:35,939

There we are.

404

00:22:38,370 --> 00:22:42,959

Now then maybe a little more

of that yellow ochre and see

405

00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,530

the same thing over here.

406

00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:49,590

You can create a happy little

bullshit lives right here, and just

407

00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:50,969

sort of peaks out over the Lake.

408

00:22:54,284 --> 00:22:55,335

Maybe back in here.

409

00:22:59,685 --> 00:23:02,685

Just think about it, think about it

410

00:23:05,685 --> 00:23:06,435

wherever you want.

411

00:23:07,575 --> 00:23:12,855

As many, or as few, there we go.

412

00:23:16,755 --> 00:23:17,295

Okay.

413

00:23:21,855 --> 00:23:22,605

Fair.

414

00:23:28,425 --> 00:23:28,785

Okay.

415

00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:32,025

Just over and over and, and classes.

416

00:23:32,025 --> 00:23:34,575

We teach classes all over

the country in the classes.

417

00:23:34,875 --> 00:23:39,975

This may be the thing that people

enjoy the most because it works.

418

00:23:40,065 --> 00:23:43,485

Even if they've never painted before

people who come to class on the

419

00:23:43,485 --> 00:23:46,665

first day, go home with a painting

like this, believe that, or not.

420

00:23:47,385 --> 00:23:49,605

Now, let me show you something up here,

bringing a camera right back up here.

421

00:23:50,325 --> 00:23:51,945

See these dark areas in here.

422

00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,450

These are very, very important.

423

00:23:54,629 --> 00:23:57,600

These dark areas create

distance and depth.

424

00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:59,370

There's deep shadows in there.

425

00:23:59,850 --> 00:24:02,520

It's almost a natural tendency

to want to kill those.

426

00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,770

Come over to the other side

over here, watch right.

427

00:24:04,830 --> 00:24:06,750

Looking here, you see these areas.

428

00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,100

That's what creates the depth and this

particular clump bushes right here.

429

00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:15,060

It's a very important

and there appear and.

430

00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,010

Sometimes when you start painting

it, it starts to feel good.

431

00:24:20,020 --> 00:24:23,610

It works well and you get carried away

and you kill all those dark areas.

432

00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:26,100

And then you'll stand back and

you look at your painting and

433

00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,350

you say, my painting looks flat.

434

00:24:28,890 --> 00:24:29,520

It looks dead.

435

00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,390

There's no life in it.

436

00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:30,960

What's wrong.

437

00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:34,380

Check to make sure you haven't

killed all these dark areas

438

00:24:35,010 --> 00:24:36,600

and see if that doesn't work.

439

00:24:37,890 --> 00:24:39,840

Tell you what, let's have some fun today.

440

00:24:39,930 --> 00:24:40,710

I'm going to get out.

441

00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:42,600

We use the old number three fan brush.

442

00:24:44,235 --> 00:24:46,815

I'm going to dip it into a little,

a little bit of the liquid clear,

443

00:24:47,385 --> 00:24:50,295

just to make a nice, thin paint.

444

00:24:51,345 --> 00:24:56,534

We would take some liquid clear here,

be right back, get a little dark color.

445

00:24:57,435 --> 00:24:58,695

Or this is a thinner color.

446

00:24:59,955 --> 00:25:00,645

All right.

447

00:25:01,034 --> 00:25:05,625

Let's put dark one side and

then light on the other.

448

00:25:05,774 --> 00:25:09,825

So we have a dark side and

then a light side thing.

449

00:25:10,065 --> 00:25:11,235

There's a difference in the brush.

450

00:25:12,225 --> 00:25:16,485

Sort of shiny because it

clears very shiny dark light.

451

00:25:16,665 --> 00:25:16,965

Okay.

452

00:25:17,505 --> 00:25:21,585

Maybe in here, maybe there's some

nice big bushes that grew up in here.

453

00:25:21,585 --> 00:25:25,755

Maybe they're like big cat tails or

something, or I don't know, but take the

454

00:25:25,755 --> 00:25:28,455

brush and touch and begin pulling down.

455

00:25:28,455 --> 00:25:32,085

And as you pull down, begin

turning it, you can make them

456

00:25:32,085 --> 00:25:34,155

fatter skinnier, stay there.

457

00:25:35,745 --> 00:25:40,935

Now this can also be used to do

some beautiful things in florals.

458

00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:47,865

I'm not really a floral painter, but

you can certainly use this technique to

459

00:25:47,865 --> 00:25:49,695

do some beautiful, beautiful effects.

460

00:25:50,685 --> 00:25:53,625

We just put, look at

them, see how they turn.

461

00:25:54,645 --> 00:25:58,035

But as many, or as few as you want

in there, let some of them overlap.

462

00:25:59,595 --> 00:26:00,225

There we go.

463

00:26:01,005 --> 00:26:01,715

Wherever you want.

464

00:26:02,715 --> 00:26:04,245

Some little short guys in here,

465

00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:08,505

some that are a little bigger.

466

00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:13,760

One thing that'll help is reload.

467

00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,429

The brush between each and everyone.

468

00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:26,210

Reload the brush, maybe over in here,

and you can vary your colors, vary your

469

00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:28,340

colors, just make all kinds of things.

470

00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:31,970

There's one right across through there.

471

00:26:32,179 --> 00:26:35,679

Some gotta make those little noises.

472

00:26:35,689 --> 00:26:37,370

He don't make those little

noises that they just don't work.

473

00:26:40,990 --> 00:26:45,260

Over and over, and this creates

a whole different plane.

474

00:26:46,190 --> 00:26:48,200

It makes more depth than you're painting.

475

00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:50,510

It's like you're standing

behind these looking.

476

00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:55,400

We out over a last little

pond, little metal, all kinds

477

00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,610

of things are happening there.

478

00:26:59,630 --> 00:27:00,320

Give us a try.

479

00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:01,700

I really think you're going to enjoy it.

480

00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:05,900

Tell you what let's take the old

line of brush a little paint thinner.

481

00:27:06,764 --> 00:27:07,665

Let's sign this one.

482

00:27:07,784 --> 00:27:09,135

We'll call it finished.

483

00:27:10,125 --> 00:27:11,385

I really hope you've enjoyed it.

484

00:27:12,254 --> 00:27:13,034

It's sort of different.

485

00:27:13,034 --> 00:27:16,034

It'll give you something to work

with and bring you many hours.

486

00:27:16,085 --> 00:27:16,745

It's a pleasure.

487

00:27:17,585 --> 00:27:20,435

And from all of us here, I'd like

to wish you a happy painting.

488

00:27:20,885 --> 00:27:21,485

God bless.

489

00:27:21,485 --> 00:27:22,985

I look forward to seeing you again.
