00:00:29,715 --> 00:00:30,915

Hi, welcome back.

00:00:31,095 --> 00:00:32,744

Certainly glad you could join us today.

00:00:33,165 --> 00:00:35,655

I thought today would show you how

we do the little painting that you

00:00:35,655 --> 00:00:38,835

see at the beginning of the show, the

little one with all the Birch trees in

00:00:38,835 --> 00:00:40,185

it, that the little painter guys in.

00:00:40,635 --> 00:00:42,254

So very, very simple painting.

00:00:42,435 --> 00:00:45,839

And even if you've never done a painting

before in your life, This one you can do.

00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,390

So let's start out and have him

run all the colors across the

00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:50,970

screen that you need to paint it

at home while they're doing that.

00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:53,940

Come on up here and

let's get started today.

00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:58,710

I have my regular old pre stretched

double prime pre canvas, and I've covered

00:00:58,710 --> 00:01:03,000

the entire canvas with a very thin

coat of black Jesso and allowed that

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,700

to dry completely black Jesso is dry.

00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,140

Now then.

00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:10,770

Today we have three

different colors of Jesso.

00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:14,880

We have white Jesso, black Jesso

and gray Jesso, and I've just put

00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,530

them on a little plastic tray here.

00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:18,690

And we use the old foam brush.

00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,860

It's easy to do.

00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:23,160

We just go right into the right into

a little bit of this gray Jesso.

00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:25,890

And with this, we're going to

paint the little trees that

00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:26,970

you see in the background.

00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,830

The little ones that are far, far back.

00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:30,870

Okay, let's go ahead up here.

00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:34,770

Now we just take this and I'm just

going to do a few of them on this

00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:36,240

canvas to show you how they were done.

00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,540

And then.

00:01:37,110 --> 00:01:39,840

Then I'll put up a canvas it's

already finished because it

00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,100

takes a while for this to dry.

00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:44,550

Well, maybe 20, 30 minutes,

but see, that's all you do.

00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:50,490

Just, just pull down some basic

ideas for tree trunks and you

00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:51,600

have to make the decision.

00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,800

How many trees live in your forest

in sometimes the trees are close

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,330

together sometimes, far apart.

00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:58,410

Some of them will be thick.

00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,250

Some will be thin, completely

and totally up to you.

00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:06,030

And sometimes, sometimes in the

woods, you'll find trees that.

00:02:06,435 --> 00:02:07,575

Maybe one fell over.

00:02:07,815 --> 00:02:11,175

Maybe when he was just a little

guy, maybe a big old bear came

00:02:11,175 --> 00:02:13,875

through here and stepped on him,

put a little hurt in his back.

00:02:14,525 --> 00:02:18,815

Now then let's reflect those right

down in here and they don't have

00:02:18,815 --> 00:02:21,725

to be exact, just basic idea.

00:02:21,755 --> 00:02:22,895

That's all we're looking for.

00:02:24,215 --> 00:02:28,475

Just put them in

something like that there.

00:02:28,475 --> 00:02:31,415

See, now then now I'll take it.

00:02:31,905 --> 00:02:35,025

And I got a little liner

brush here with that.

00:02:35,055 --> 00:02:37,545

I'll just dip it in a little

water because Jesso is, you

00:02:37,545 --> 00:02:39,405

know, is a water-based paint.

00:02:40,545 --> 00:02:41,145

There we go.

00:02:41,145 --> 00:02:42,225

And it's actually not a paint.

00:02:42,225 --> 00:02:44,625

It's a primer, you know, in the art world.

00:02:44,625 --> 00:02:49,785

Now there's a lot of controversy

about using acrylic under oils because

00:02:49,785 --> 00:02:51,885

they say it's not permanent there.

00:02:51,945 --> 00:02:52,545

Just turn it.

00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:55,215

But the Jesso is a permanent medium.

00:02:55,484 --> 00:02:58,484

So if you're worried about acrylics

under your oils disappearing

00:02:58,484 --> 00:03:02,554

after 40 or 50 years, this is

considered a person mid medium.

00:03:03,155 --> 00:03:05,674

How right now we just

end this down very thin.

00:03:06,424 --> 00:03:09,605

And with that, which is going to make

the indication of a lot of little

00:03:09,605 --> 00:03:13,595

tree limbs that just, just hang

around out here and play all day.

00:03:14,584 --> 00:03:17,584

But we're not worried about them

being perfect because these are just

00:03:17,584 --> 00:03:20,045

a little background, limbs shoot.

00:03:20,075 --> 00:03:21,575

Probably half of them won't even show.

00:03:22,255 --> 00:03:26,015

Just putting it in for, for

filler material that easy.

00:03:26,525 --> 00:03:26,975

See there.

00:03:27,905 --> 00:03:27,995

Okay.

00:03:28,385 --> 00:03:30,785

You know, I get letters from people

and say, Bob, I've got a little

00:03:30,785 --> 00:03:32,255

nervous Twitch in my hand in it.

00:03:32,615 --> 00:03:34,265

I just can't paint because of that.

00:03:35,135 --> 00:03:36,035

This is your painting.

00:03:36,335 --> 00:03:38,345

Because if you have a little

nervous Twitch, you can make

00:03:38,405 --> 00:03:41,015

the most gorgeous tree Liam's

you're ahead of the rest of us.

00:03:41,765 --> 00:03:46,595

I have to intentionally sort of shake

my hand and pretend that do there.

00:03:47,405 --> 00:03:51,095

So say something like that and you

just figure out where you want them.

00:03:51,734 --> 00:03:54,255

And you put as many or as few

as you want in your world.

00:03:55,304 --> 00:03:56,114

Very simple.

00:03:57,345 --> 00:03:58,484

Anybody can do this.

00:03:58,484 --> 00:04:02,595

As I say, I like to design paintings

and every series that everybody

00:04:02,595 --> 00:04:04,245

can do, even if they never painted.

00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:10,755

And in this series, this is the one, it is

the easiest painting in the whole series.

00:04:11,745 --> 00:04:15,435

And it's also maybe one of

the most effective when we

00:04:15,435 --> 00:04:16,454

were doing the little opening.

00:04:17,415 --> 00:04:20,085

The people here in the studio just

went crazy over this painting.

00:04:20,085 --> 00:04:21,405

It was absolutely their favorite.

00:04:22,655 --> 00:04:23,355

All right.

00:04:24,725 --> 00:04:27,275

And you know, it only takes a

few seconds to see that little

00:04:27,275 --> 00:04:31,115

opening, but it takes a lot of

fantastic people to put it together.

00:04:31,625 --> 00:04:35,645

This one was a brain brain child, and

my good friend, Jerry Morton, one of

00:04:35,645 --> 00:04:38,975

the engineers here at the station there.

00:04:39,395 --> 00:04:40,085

Oh, Jerry he's.

00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:43,590

He's like me, he's got sort

of a crazy imagination.

00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:44,700

You put the two of us together.

00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:50,060

We come up with a wild idea, but that's

what makes it fun now then see, we've

00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:51,220

got a few little tree limbs there.

00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:55,910

Now we can just go down here with the

same way and just put in the indication

00:04:55,910 --> 00:04:58,580

of a few things down here and they

don't have to match it exactly.

00:04:58,580 --> 00:05:01,070

What's up above chest.

00:05:01,070 --> 00:05:02,330

So we have some indications.

00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:03,950

Really?

100

00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:05,330

Don't worry about this one.

101

00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:06,710

Just let it happen.

102

00:05:08,025 --> 00:05:12,284

This is one that you should enjoy

and have a good time with on a net.

103

00:05:12,284 --> 00:05:14,055

And I were traveling over

the country teaching.

104

00:05:14,055 --> 00:05:18,495

I wish we had had this painting for

people to do because it works so well.

105

00:05:19,305 --> 00:05:22,935

And you can take this idea and

you can do all kinds of things

106

00:05:22,935 --> 00:05:24,315

with the color Jesso shoot.

107

00:05:24,315 --> 00:05:28,275

You could, for example, if you wanted

to paint a barn, you could paint the

108

00:05:28,275 --> 00:05:32,925

entire barn, that basic outline of it

with just gestures, and then you'd come

109

00:05:32,925 --> 00:05:34,875

back and cover it with liquid clear.

110

00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:41,865

And then go over it with transparent

or semi-transparent colors and it shows

111

00:05:41,865 --> 00:05:44,565

through it's fantastic way to paint.

112

00:05:45,735 --> 00:05:47,205

Just makes it very easy.

113

00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:50,445

And a lot of fun in painting is, you

know, should be for a lot of fun.

114

00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:52,485

All right, there we go.

115

00:05:53,205 --> 00:05:53,415

Okay.

116

00:05:53,415 --> 00:05:56,265

That gives us a general idea of how

you make the little background trees.

117

00:05:57,495 --> 00:05:59,715

I may wipe off the little

brush, then we'll come back.

118

00:06:01,185 --> 00:06:04,575

And we'll put the trees that are more

distinct right over the top of it.

119

00:06:04,755 --> 00:06:09,015

And for that, I'm going to use just pure

white Jesso, same little foam brush.

120

00:06:09,195 --> 00:06:09,495

I see.

121

00:06:09,554 --> 00:06:11,924

Just, just loaded up like that.

122

00:06:13,695 --> 00:06:14,895

Just pure white Jessel.

123

00:06:15,465 --> 00:06:15,734

Okay.

124

00:06:15,765 --> 00:06:16,635

Let's go up in here now.

125

00:06:17,804 --> 00:06:21,794

And you decide where the trees live that

are in the foreground touch and pull down.

126

00:06:22,094 --> 00:06:24,974

As I'm pulling down, I'm adding a little

bit more pressure to the brush, so it

127

00:06:25,034 --> 00:06:27,195

automatically gets bigger toward the base.

128

00:06:28,335 --> 00:06:28,875

Normally.

129

00:06:29,849 --> 00:06:32,580

And I say normally across years,

heck there's a tree that's different.

130

00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760

Normally trees are bigger at the

bottom than they are at the top.

131

00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:40,260

So I'm just going to put a few in

here so you can see how they look.

132

00:06:41,849 --> 00:06:45,480

Maybe this one here, sometimes

Birch trees grow in clumps.

133

00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,409

In fact, most of the time they grew

in clumps, but that'll give you an

134

00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:52,770

idea of how those were done now.

135

00:06:52,770 --> 00:06:56,039

Then we'll go right below it and.

136

00:06:57,344 --> 00:06:59,055

Pull straight down.

137

00:06:59,115 --> 00:07:02,445

I start with a little more

pressure and release or less

138

00:07:02,445 --> 00:07:03,645

pressure when we're going down.

139

00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:05,924

I think I have trouble

painting upside down.

140

00:07:06,135 --> 00:07:10,065

Just take the canvas

off, turn it over there.

141

00:07:10,424 --> 00:07:11,865

That gives us a basic idea.

142

00:07:11,955 --> 00:07:13,275

That's all we're looking for in this.

143

00:07:13,875 --> 00:07:16,875

Just want to show your

heads got back to my water.

144

00:07:17,534 --> 00:07:19,305

It will go right back

into that white Jesso.

145

00:07:19,875 --> 00:07:22,185

And once again, I'm just going

to make the little tree limbs,

146

00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,895

but this is pure white Jesso.

147

00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:28,650

If you're only using one foam brush,

wash your brush in between the gray and

148

00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:31,260

the white, so that this color is pure.

149

00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:36,210

You want this white

Jesso here fairly strong.

150

00:07:37,710 --> 00:07:38,430

There we go.

151

00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:39,930

Isn't that fantastic though?

152

00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:42,780

I just love little paintings.

153

00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:43,320

Like, yes.

154

00:07:44,235 --> 00:07:45,735

They really make painting so easy.

155

00:07:46,095 --> 00:07:46,875

And they're great.

156

00:07:46,965 --> 00:07:47,475

They're great.

157

00:07:47,475 --> 00:07:51,765

If you're doing a little demonstration for

like your family or your friends, because

158

00:07:51,765 --> 00:07:56,025

they just won't believe what's happening

right there in front of their eyes and all

159

00:07:56,025 --> 00:07:58,835

the preparatory work you do by yourself.

160

00:08:00,125 --> 00:08:05,315

There we are in that need, but now

if you have trouble making this

161

00:08:05,315 --> 00:08:08,465

paint flow across here, it just means

you don't have enough water in it.

162

00:08:08,465 --> 00:08:11,825

Just like when we're using the oils,

if they don't flow, it means you

163

00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:12,935

don't have enough paint thinner.

164

00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:15,825

So don't be afraid to

put some water in it.

165

00:08:16,784 --> 00:08:21,045

And this takes usually, Oh, depending

on heat and humidity and all that.

166

00:08:21,045 --> 00:08:23,925

Usually it'll dry in

about 15 to 30 minutes.

167

00:08:25,665 --> 00:08:28,815

And also depending how thick you

put it, you can build Jesso up.

168

00:08:29,715 --> 00:08:33,085

Can you just go down into the,

let's go down to the bottom here,

169

00:08:33,225 --> 00:08:35,835

put some reflections, see there.

170

00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:39,959

And they did once again, they do

not have to be exact, very few

171

00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:43,140

people are going to set in and check

your reflection to make sure it's

172

00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:47,130

identical to the thing above it there.

173

00:08:47,189 --> 00:08:48,600

I love his color, just so sad.

174

00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:50,640

I don't know why it took so

long to get them since we've

175

00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,140

introduced them into the art world.

176

00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,850

They've just about

become a standard there.

177

00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:58,640

Everybody's using them now.

178

00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:00,800

All right.

179

00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:04,010

Few over here.

180

00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:10,190

Something about like cabin and that's

really about all there is to it.

181

00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:14,930

And when you're at home and you have

unlimited time and don't have a Mino

182

00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:18,800

director to come out and yell at you,

you can just take your time and do

183

00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,540

all these things that you want to do.

184

00:09:22,010 --> 00:09:25,940

I just want to show you how this painting

was done, because it's so different

185

00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:27,230

than anything we've done before.

186

00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:28,820

And it's so wonderful.

187

00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,130

It's worth taking the time to show you.

188

00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:34,949

And I hope you send me some photographs

of things that you do with this,

189

00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,050

because this is just a stir your

imagination because I know you could

190

00:09:40,050 --> 00:09:41,610

come up with much better things to do.

191

00:09:42,439 --> 00:09:42,680

There.

192

00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:43,010

We are.

193

00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:44,930

Look at that though.

194

00:09:47,329 --> 00:09:49,040

Now then let me wash

this little brush out.

195

00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:50,089

One more thing.

196

00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:50,599

I'll show you.

197

00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,770

I'm going to take, uh, a fan

brush and I recommend you get

198

00:09:54,770 --> 00:09:56,060

one of your old fan brushes.

199

00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:58,370

It's about wore out what

does take a little black.

200

00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:01,035

But a little bit of water

with it, just to thin it.

201

00:10:01,095 --> 00:10:02,415

This is just pure black though.

202

00:10:03,915 --> 00:10:06,945

Just enough water to make

it a little bit thinner.

203

00:10:08,325 --> 00:10:12,795

And I'm going to take a knife

and I just want to take and sort

204

00:10:12,795 --> 00:10:18,105

of flick it, say it just flicked

little globules of Jesso on there.

205

00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:20,280

Just lick them on.

206

00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,300

Now, this really works better if you

have the canvas laying flat, so you

207

00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:29,209

can get up above it and flick it, but

this will show you how it's done there.

208

00:10:29,209 --> 00:10:31,370

We are just flick them on there.

209

00:10:32,819 --> 00:10:36,890

It doesn't matter if these little globules

go onto the black, because when it dries,

210

00:10:37,319 --> 00:10:40,550

won't even show it won't even show.

211

00:10:42,229 --> 00:10:44,689

Now there we go back here.

212

00:10:45,930 --> 00:10:49,350

And I'll get the brush that we

were using that just had black

213

00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:52,770

on it and very gently touch it.

214

00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:54,060

And this is still a little wet.

215

00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:57,600

I would suggest you allow it to

dry when you're at home, but just

216

00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880

give it a little pull, see how it

makes it look like Birch trees.

217

00:11:00,450 --> 00:11:00,660

Hmm.

218

00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,230

And that sneaky hair.

219

00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,700

And it's gorgeous.

220

00:11:05,850 --> 00:11:07,620

You really can do this so easy.

221

00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:09,300

It's almost unbelievable.

222

00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:11,550

Once again, allow it to dry.

223

00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:17,569

But that easy, all those little flex

that you made up there, they cause the

224

00:11:17,569 --> 00:11:22,400

little dark indications in the, in the

bark of a Birch tree, not tell you what.

225

00:11:23,090 --> 00:11:26,360

I have a canvas here that I've

already prepared and have it

226

00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,270

completely finished so you can see

it's just basically the same thing.

227

00:11:30,045 --> 00:11:30,915

That we've done there.

228

00:11:31,335 --> 00:11:34,695

I'm going to put this canvas

on my easel and then we'll go

229

00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:35,595

ahead and paint the picture.

230

00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:38,745

In the meantime, the other day,

I had a fantastic experience with

231

00:11:38,745 --> 00:11:41,265

a gorgeous, gorgeous little Al

that I want to share with you.

232

00:11:41,265 --> 00:11:43,845

And we'll put him up here

and we'll look at him while

233

00:11:43,845 --> 00:11:45,285

we're changing these canvases.

234

00:11:46,035 --> 00:11:47,325

This is a great horn Dell.

235

00:11:47,775 --> 00:11:50,235

One of my good friends in

Florida, Cindy loaned me this

236

00:11:50,235 --> 00:11:51,585

Al to play with a little bit.

237

00:11:52,365 --> 00:11:58,215

And he's very young, probably five, six

months old, but he is one of the most

238

00:11:58,215 --> 00:12:00,225

gorgeous birds that you've ever seen.

239

00:12:01,035 --> 00:12:03,015

And when they get big, Oh, look out there.

240

00:12:04,305 --> 00:12:05,175

He's just playing.

241

00:12:05,775 --> 00:12:07,455

But the rascal almost got my nose there.

242

00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:10,260

But aren't those the

most beautiful things.

243

00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,170

Now I like animals so much.

244

00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,589

I'm telling you, I could just

about make a career out of taking

245

00:12:16,589 --> 00:12:17,730

care of these little Rascals.

246

00:12:17,730 --> 00:12:18,810

Cause they're so beautiful.

247

00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:22,680

Isn't that something we'll put him on

at the end of this show and let you

248

00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,680

see him again, because I think these

owls are some of the most gorgeous

249

00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,990

creatures that God has ever made.

250

00:12:28,319 --> 00:12:30,720

They're just, they're

just absolutely wonderful.

251

00:12:31,814 --> 00:12:32,324

Shoot.

252

00:12:32,395 --> 00:12:35,354

I'd like to have one for

pet, but you don't keep these

253

00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:36,765

kinds of creatures as pets.

254

00:12:37,275 --> 00:12:38,235

These kinds of creatures.

255

00:12:38,834 --> 00:12:40,155

God meant for him to be free.

256

00:12:40,665 --> 00:12:43,964

So we raise him up and we get

him grown, or we take care

257

00:12:43,964 --> 00:12:44,925

of them, whatever they need.

258

00:12:45,074 --> 00:12:48,045

And then we turn them loose and they

go back to nature where they belong.

259

00:12:48,645 --> 00:12:51,214

So I don't suggest you

keep wild animals, pets.

260

00:12:51,995 --> 00:12:52,324

Okay.

261

00:12:52,324 --> 00:12:53,074

We're back now.

262

00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:59,045

I a, now we have one up here that's

nice and dry and we can take off.

263

00:12:59,074 --> 00:13:01,265

So let's take and we'll start out.

264

00:13:01,995 --> 00:13:07,095

Cover the entire canvas with just

a very femme coat of liquid clear.

265

00:13:08,505 --> 00:13:13,515

The one word that I need to repeat several

times here is the word thin you want.

266

00:13:13,755 --> 00:13:16,215

The thin is coat possible

of liquid clear here.

267

00:13:16,275 --> 00:13:19,175

It's easy to put too much

because you can't see it.

268

00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,990

So you want a very, very thin coat,

something like that, where they're all two

269

00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:32,020

inch brush, it didn't take, but a second

to do it, that's off cover the entire

270

00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:35,710

canvas with it, something like that.

271

00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,680

I really liked this little opening

using this painting, the little

272

00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,340

painter guy, he looks like he literally

just steps right into the painting.

273

00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:46,230

That makes it so neat.

274

00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,100

All right.

275

00:13:48,610 --> 00:13:53,170

It's a lot of fun to make those,

as I say, it takes a lot of

276

00:13:53,170 --> 00:13:55,570

fantastic people here to do that.

277

00:13:55,930 --> 00:13:57,700

The live video magic going on in there.

278

00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:04,680

This need to be in the TV station

and see how this is done a little

279

00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:05,730

bit down here in the corner.

280

00:14:06,224 --> 00:14:06,555

Shoot.

281

00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:07,334

We'll be ready to go.

282

00:14:09,104 --> 00:14:10,275

Something about like that.

283

00:14:10,545 --> 00:14:11,204

That's all we need.

284

00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:16,545

Just make sure we get a nice coat.

285

00:14:16,935 --> 00:14:22,635

Very thin, very, very thin

all the way across like that.

286

00:14:24,974 --> 00:14:25,665

All right.

287

00:14:27,495 --> 00:14:32,295

Now the most fun part

of the whole technique.

288

00:14:33,135 --> 00:14:34,215

Is Washington, the brush.

289

00:14:34,545 --> 00:14:35,564

That's my favorite part.

290

00:14:36,885 --> 00:14:39,225

Wash the brush, shake it off.

291

00:14:43,530 --> 00:14:45,000

And just beat the devil out of it.

292

00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:46,560

All right.

293

00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,350

Now, then it takes very few colors to

do this, but all the colors, other than

294

00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:54,810

the titanium white are very transparent.

295

00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,260

That's most important so that

you Jessa work shows through.

296

00:14:59,189 --> 00:15:02,819

So let's start out today with a little

touch of the Indian, yellow, just a

297

00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:05,040

very small amount, tiny little bit.

298

00:15:06,645 --> 00:15:12,155

They're just little into

the bristles and taps there.

299

00:15:13,055 --> 00:15:17,045

It's easy to go back and add a little

more so sudden we're going to take it off.

300

00:15:17,045 --> 00:15:21,365

So start out with just a small amount

and you can always add more right

301

00:15:21,365 --> 00:15:24,005

across the base of these beautiful

little trees that we painted.

302

00:15:24,875 --> 00:15:28,145

We'll just do this, something like that.

303

00:15:28,145 --> 00:15:29,855

And then we'll do the same

thing in the reflections.

304

00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:36,600

Well, that's pretty already at me,

but this acts like a glaze, the liquid

305

00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,960

clear there, and the transparent

color literally acts as a glaze.

306

00:15:40,650 --> 00:15:44,220

If you used, let's say you put

these on with the yellow Jesso.

307

00:15:44,594 --> 00:15:47,385

And you went over it with blue,

then you would end up with a

308

00:15:48,194 --> 00:15:51,275

translucent green and it's gorgeous.

309

00:15:51,515 --> 00:15:52,685

It is gorgeous.

310

00:15:53,555 --> 00:15:54,035

Try it.

311

00:15:55,775 --> 00:15:56,464

There we go.

312

00:15:58,444 --> 00:15:59,135

All right.

313

00:16:00,875 --> 00:16:03,755

I have several brushes here, so let

me just grab another two inch brush.

314

00:16:05,175 --> 00:16:07,695

Don't want to spend all of

our time washing brushes and

315

00:16:07,695 --> 00:16:09,015

upsetting the camera people.

316

00:16:10,265 --> 00:16:11,675

We go right into thalo blue.

317

00:16:12,185 --> 00:16:13,205

I love the yellow blue.

318

00:16:13,235 --> 00:16:14,615

It's one of the prettiest colors.

319

00:16:15,245 --> 00:16:16,355

It's like a gorgeous color.

320

00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:17,855

Just tap a little into the bristles.

321

00:16:19,235 --> 00:16:20,885

Let's go right up to

the top of the canvas.

322

00:16:21,635 --> 00:16:26,945

Just making little exes, just

paint right down like that.

323

00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:28,800

See you there.

324

00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:30,870

Fantastic.

325

00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:32,940

This works so wonderful.

326

00:16:33,090 --> 00:16:34,800

And it's so, so easy.

327

00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:37,320

So easy.

328

00:16:38,650 --> 00:16:43,020

I say if you've never painted a

painting before, but you've always known

329

00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:44,640

there's an artist hiding inside of you.

330

00:16:45,150 --> 00:16:48,540

This is the one to get started

off because it'll work, it'll

331

00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:50,280

work the first time guaranteed.

332

00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:58,310

There we'll do the same thing down

here in the reflection like that.

333

00:17:00,530 --> 00:17:03,950

There, I like paintings that works

easy because if you have a little

334

00:17:03,950 --> 00:17:08,000

success with this and you've got enough

confidence to go and you try something

335

00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,319

a little harder and a little harder.

336

00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,839

And that's the way we learn.

337

00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:15,699

We just do things over and over and each

time it gets easier and better than you

338

00:17:15,699 --> 00:17:17,469

could do more and more difficult things.

339

00:17:18,639 --> 00:17:21,339

Now, then I like to sort of

dark in the edges a little bit.

340

00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,369

So with the same old brush, I'm going

to go right into a little bit of

341

00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:29,610

little touch of a pressure and blue.

342

00:17:30,885 --> 00:17:33,945

Pressure and blue is a gorgeous

color, but it's much darker.

343

00:17:33,975 --> 00:17:37,425

Let me just work these out a

little bit by cat soften them.

344

00:17:38,805 --> 00:17:39,045

Let's see.

345

00:17:39,045 --> 00:17:43,815

There is no such things as

mistakes on these shoot.

346

00:17:44,055 --> 00:17:45,825

The worst thing that can

happen here, if you do.

347

00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:49,575

Happened to make a big booboo can,

that does happen once in a while in

348

00:17:49,575 --> 00:17:53,555

our world, you take a paper towel

or a rag with a little bit turn

349

00:17:53,555 --> 00:17:54,815

around and you just wipe it off.

350

00:17:55,145 --> 00:17:57,305

The gesture was still there

and you could do it again.

351

00:17:57,395 --> 00:17:59,165

This is the way I practice these things.

352

00:17:59,285 --> 00:18:00,665

I just wipe them off and do them again.

353

00:18:01,205 --> 00:18:01,925

Pressure and blue.

354

00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:05,580

The dark and the top in the corners.

355

00:18:06,450 --> 00:18:08,159

Prussian blue, strong dark.

356

00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,310

Good, nice color.

357

00:18:12,149 --> 00:18:12,360

There.

358

00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,550

We are see there.

359

00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,919

Now we have a graduation of color.

360

00:18:18,504 --> 00:18:23,125

And we'll do the same thing down

here in the reflections, something

361

00:18:23,125 --> 00:18:26,695

about like Catherine say there.

362

00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:29,034

Okay.

363

00:18:31,304 --> 00:18:31,935

Fascinate one.

364

00:18:31,935 --> 00:18:33,345

Annette and I were trailing and teaching.

365

00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:36,825

I wish we had some paintings like

this to show people, but we didn't

366

00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:38,175

have the color gestures then.

367

00:18:38,605 --> 00:18:40,185

And we couldn't do these kinds of things.

368

00:18:41,175 --> 00:18:42,014

Now we have them.

369

00:18:44,255 --> 00:18:45,815

They're just sort of blend that together.

370

00:18:51,155 --> 00:18:55,205

When this be a fantastic scene to

maybe put some Indians on horses

371

00:18:55,205 --> 00:18:58,295

out here, that would be beautiful.

372

00:18:58,535 --> 00:19:01,145

If you're going to do that, I'd recommend

you paint us a little background,

373

00:19:01,705 --> 00:19:04,165

but you color in allow that to dry.

374

00:19:04,285 --> 00:19:05,605

I'd let it dry completely.

375

00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:08,905

Then I'd go back and paint in all my

little subjects that I wanted in there.

376

00:19:08,905 --> 00:19:10,315

If I wanted to have some okay.

377

00:19:10,785 --> 00:19:11,985

Less than Indians own horses.

378

00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:15,405

I like Indians on horses because

they'd sort of match the Birch trees

379

00:19:15,405 --> 00:19:18,465

if they were on pentose they would

just sort of blend right in there.

380

00:19:19,365 --> 00:19:23,655

That will take a little bit of

titanium white on the fan brush.

381

00:19:23,685 --> 00:19:26,085

Just want a small, small amount public.

382

00:19:26,085 --> 00:19:27,315

So let's go up in here.

383

00:19:29,175 --> 00:19:29,355

Now.

384

00:19:29,355 --> 00:19:31,985

I want to begin putting the

indication of a little snow Liz

385

00:19:31,985 --> 00:19:33,185

back here in the background.

386

00:19:34,565 --> 00:19:38,825

Not, not much color, very

little in between back here.

387

00:19:39,545 --> 00:19:39,635

Okay.

388

00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:45,330

Just a little, just the indication

of a little C just a little.

389

00:19:45,630 --> 00:19:50,700

So those background trees have

something to set on there.

390

00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,380

If you put it on very thin, like that,

it's still fairly transparent, even

391

00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:56,880

though white is a very opaque color.

392

00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,560

If you put it on thin we're okay.

393

00:19:59,610 --> 00:20:01,470

And then we're just putting

in background and stuff.

394

00:20:01,670 --> 00:20:03,660

In fact, back here, we just

want it to sort of disappear.

395

00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:05,100

You can take your finger and smooth it.

396

00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:09,180

And so it just disappears and we

don't even know where anything's at.

397

00:20:11,085 --> 00:20:16,635

Look at that, that easy, that

easy a little bit back in here.

398

00:20:17,735 --> 00:20:20,675

Now this won't be an exact duplicate

of what you see at the beginning of

399

00:20:20,675 --> 00:20:25,595

the show, but it will certainly show

you exactly how we, I made it there.

400

00:20:26,985 --> 00:20:30,115

No, no painting ever comes

out exactly the same way.

401

00:20:30,135 --> 00:20:32,975

We don't, we don't use any patterns

or tracings or anything like that.

402

00:20:33,665 --> 00:20:37,205

So none of them ever come out exactly

the same and that's even better.

403

00:20:37,205 --> 00:20:37,525

That's.

404

00:20:38,250 --> 00:20:39,239

That's what makes it fun.

405

00:20:39,959 --> 00:20:40,229

All right.

406

00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:43,800

Now I'm going to load a lot of

white paint, a lot of white paint

407

00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,919

right into the bristles because

now we want to get serious.

408

00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:51,780

Now we're going to do the things that are

in the foreground and in our world, maybe.

409

00:20:51,810 --> 00:20:51,989

Yep.

410

00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,649

You're right.

411

00:20:53,939 --> 00:20:54,659

It comes right down.

412

00:20:54,659 --> 00:20:55,889

I can't see.

413

00:20:55,889 --> 00:20:57,570

You can just sort of

cut around a tree there.

414

00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:00,270

There.

415

00:21:02,295 --> 00:21:03,495

Right up to him.

416

00:21:03,855 --> 00:21:06,435

We'll go around in some places,

some places we'll just let

417

00:21:06,435 --> 00:21:07,485

that blend right on back.

418

00:21:08,445 --> 00:21:08,985

It's up to you.

419

00:21:10,245 --> 00:21:15,095

You make the big decisions there.

420

00:21:16,895 --> 00:21:18,035

Maybe it comes right on up here.

421

00:21:18,755 --> 00:21:19,205

I don't know.

422

00:21:20,345 --> 00:21:20,975

I don't know.

423

00:21:22,535 --> 00:21:26,165

Each of us will see it a different way

and that's what makes it fantastic.

424

00:21:27,524 --> 00:21:29,235

That's what makes it fantastic.

425

00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:31,725

If y'all make it look like

snow's going up the tree, just

426

00:21:31,725 --> 00:21:32,895

give it a little upward pool.

427

00:21:33,014 --> 00:21:35,475

It looked like he was a little

bank of snow right up in there.

428

00:21:36,705 --> 00:21:37,455

That's very nice.

429

00:21:37,455 --> 00:21:39,135

Sometimes it makes a very nice effect.

430

00:21:42,814 --> 00:21:47,794

And so he leaves some of these

little dark areas in there.

431

00:21:48,125 --> 00:21:49,594

They turn out to be your best friend.

432

00:21:50,794 --> 00:21:53,915

It looks like little areas

in between layers of snow.

433

00:21:55,155 --> 00:21:57,885

Probably a little bunny rabbit hiding

right in there, looking out at you.

434

00:22:00,344 --> 00:22:03,554

maybe right in here,

you make the decision.

435

00:22:05,175 --> 00:22:05,475

Really.

436

00:22:05,475 --> 00:22:07,274

I just want to show you how to do things.

437

00:22:07,665 --> 00:22:13,774

What you do is totally, totally, and

completely up to you there because

438

00:22:13,774 --> 00:22:15,725

painting is a very individual thing.

439

00:22:16,175 --> 00:22:19,264

Everybody, everybody paints differently.

440

00:22:20,925 --> 00:22:22,095

That's what makes it wonderful.

441

00:22:22,955 --> 00:22:27,195

And then let's see, maybe over in here,

we make this side a little, a little

442

00:22:27,195 --> 00:22:30,255

stronger, a little bigger wherever.

443

00:22:31,805 --> 00:22:35,165

Then I want to create the illusion

of a few little reflections.

444

00:22:35,195 --> 00:22:40,145

I don't want to lose this purity down

here, but I just take a clean brush.

445

00:22:40,355 --> 00:22:42,275

Grab the base of that a little bit.

446

00:22:43,205 --> 00:22:46,865

Just a little, you really don't

even have to hardly add any color.

447

00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:48,365

You can add a touch if you want to.

448

00:22:49,395 --> 00:22:52,365

I would suggest the very little,

I don't want to ruin the purity

449

00:22:52,365 --> 00:22:57,274

of this reflection, but I want it

to look like water just by doing

450

00:22:57,274 --> 00:23:02,555

this, this little simple step and

then very lightly going across just

451

00:23:02,555 --> 00:23:05,105

enough to disturb it a little bit.

452

00:23:05,315 --> 00:23:05,945

See it already.

453

00:23:05,945 --> 00:23:08,764

It looks like the shimmer

of water cross there.

454

00:23:10,574 --> 00:23:12,885

All right, that fantastic.

455

00:23:14,205 --> 00:23:18,524

Now then I may redefine that edge

a little less sort of bumped it

456

00:23:18,524 --> 00:23:22,245

with a brush, which is easy to fix

because we don't make mistakes.

457

00:23:23,475 --> 00:23:25,245

We just have happy accidents.

458

00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:28,125

Let's have a little, yep.

459

00:23:28,425 --> 00:23:29,745

We'll do her hangs right out there.

460

00:23:31,245 --> 00:23:32,235

He just lives there.

461

00:23:32,985 --> 00:23:33,524

There he is.

462

00:23:35,534 --> 00:23:35,895

See him.

463

00:23:36,465 --> 00:23:37,695

All kinds of little things.

464

00:23:37,695 --> 00:23:41,264

And, and we had, uh, we had a little

peninsula that the little painter guy

465

00:23:41,475 --> 00:23:43,185

at the beginning of the show jumped on.

466

00:23:43,814 --> 00:23:46,754

So we'll put it in, give him something

to stand on, right about there.

467

00:23:49,235 --> 00:23:52,564

See, there it comes there.

468

00:23:55,054 --> 00:23:55,955

There we go.

469

00:23:56,885 --> 00:23:57,995

Something about like, yeah.

470

00:23:59,764 --> 00:24:00,155

Okay.

471

00:24:00,455 --> 00:24:01,955

That's a little place for him to stay in.

472

00:24:03,615 --> 00:24:07,215

And how then all we need to do get

her knife and get a little bit of a

473

00:24:07,215 --> 00:24:10,965

liquid white with the least little

touch of titanium white with it.

474

00:24:10,965 --> 00:24:12,045

I just want to thin it down.

475

00:24:12,915 --> 00:24:14,055

We'll come right back in here.

476

00:24:14,655 --> 00:24:19,515

And with that, we just cut in some water

lines and that's basically all that

477

00:24:19,515 --> 00:24:22,395

was done in the little painting that

you see at the beginning of the show.

478

00:24:23,905 --> 00:24:26,805

I say it unquestionably is

the simplest painting in this

479

00:24:26,805 --> 00:24:29,345

entire series and you can do it.

480

00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:31,295

You literally can do this one.

481

00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:40,500

They're gorgeous little painting, and

I think it'll open your mind ideas.

482

00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:44,399

Like you can't believe it'll, it'll

stir the imagination, get you excited.

483

00:24:45,030 --> 00:24:47,190

Cause there's a million

things you can do with this.

484

00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:50,010

It's really just up to you.

485

00:24:51,705 --> 00:24:53,235

Hope you've enjoyed this little painting.

486

00:24:53,505 --> 00:24:54,945

It's just been a lot of fun for us.

487

00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:57,285

And it's one of the most fantastic ideas.

488

00:24:57,585 --> 00:24:58,725

Let me see some of your work.

489

00:24:58,725 --> 00:24:59,505

Send me some photos.

490

00:24:59,505 --> 00:24:59,865

Okay.

491

00:25:00,285 --> 00:25:02,505

From all of us here, I'd like

to wish you happy painting.

492

00:25:03,145 --> 00:25:04,185

God bless my friend.
