00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,180

Hi, welcome back.

00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:33,450

Certainly glad you could join us today

because today is a very special day.

00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:36,300

Every once in a while, when we

get him off the road from teaching

00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,010

classes, I bring my son in here.

00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:39,390

Let him give you a demonstration.

00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,200

Steve's been painting since he was

about 12 years old and I think you'll

00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,210

find he's absolutely fantastic.

00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:46,470

Steve, welcome to the show today.

00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,040

Thanks Dan.

00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,430

Tell you what I'm going to turn it

over to Steve and I'll see you later.

00:00:50,489 --> 00:00:52,110

Son, do a nice painting for everyone.

00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,620

Okay.

00:00:54,435 --> 00:00:57,375

Uh, we're going to start off today by

running your colors across the screen.

00:00:57,465 --> 00:01:00,045

Uh, we're using just about

everything, uh, as you can see,

00:01:00,045 --> 00:01:02,385

we've got, I think about 13 colors.

00:01:02,655 --> 00:01:05,265

Uh, so if you want to go ahead and

get those out on your palette, if

00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:09,485

you're going to paint it with me or

whatever, um, I'm going to start off

00:01:09,485 --> 00:01:13,175

today, maybe just with a little bit of

pressure and blue, and we're going to

00:01:13,175 --> 00:01:15,185

drag that out, pounded into that brush.

00:01:15,185 --> 00:01:15,695

Real good.

00:01:16,365 --> 00:01:17,855

Get tough with it right

from the beginning.

00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:23,820

And we'll go up here and starting,

I'm going to try to make some sorta

00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:25,950

cloudy shapes up here to start with.

00:01:27,905 --> 00:01:31,275

And maybe on this one side over here,

I'll add just a touch, a Crimson to my

00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:33,225

color Elizah and Crimson and depression.

00:01:33,245 --> 00:01:33,495

Blue.

00:01:33,795 --> 00:01:37,125

You have it sort of a

purple-ish glow over here,

00:01:42,585 --> 00:01:44,945

you know, try to use the Xs

and leave a little bit of.

00:01:45,244 --> 00:01:46,685

Flight area showing through

00:01:50,045 --> 00:01:50,554

like that.

00:01:53,134 --> 00:01:56,104

Now leave your sky with lots of movement

in it here, because you don't want

00:01:56,104 --> 00:01:58,235

to, you don't want to destroy that.

00:01:58,774 --> 00:02:02,824

That looked like the sky is weaving in and

out and all that stuff that helps a lot, a

00:02:02,824 --> 00:02:06,245

little more pressure and blue and a little

more lizard and Crimson on your brush.

00:02:06,304 --> 00:02:07,685

And we'll go down here and.

00:02:08,954 --> 00:02:11,745

Put some straight, horizontal strokes,

and this will be where our water

00:02:11,745 --> 00:02:13,335

is at at the bottom of the canvas.

00:02:14,075 --> 00:02:14,195

Okay.

00:02:18,785 --> 00:02:19,715

You real rough on it.

00:02:20,075 --> 00:02:21,425

You're not going to hurt that canvas.

00:02:24,125 --> 00:02:24,515

Okay.

00:02:24,515 --> 00:02:26,345

And then we'll wash that

brush out real quick.

00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:29,070

Okay.

00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,010

When you're doing a large painting

like this, it's a really good idea

00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:38,630

to have a sturdy easel like this one.

00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,970

And a dad invented this easel

just for that purpose, because

00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,810

it doesn't move all over the.

00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:46,029

Floor when you're painting on it.

00:02:51,269 --> 00:02:51,410

Yeah.

00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:52,950

And just a little bit

of blending down here.

00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:54,989

So always start down in the

liquid white and work your way,

00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:02,279

that way you're brushed

and get all full of blue.

00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:03,770

Immediately.

00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:07,130

Okay.

00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:12,700

And then down on the water, same thing,

just use your big brush on the side.

00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,400

Like this push, nice and hard.

00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:19,840

You know, if your wrist is wore

out, by the time you get down to

00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,740

him and she did something right.

00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:25,360

Maybe with that.

00:03:25,785 --> 00:03:26,565

Clean brush.

00:03:26,565 --> 00:03:30,195

We'll just go across the center

a few times when a nice little

00:03:30,195 --> 00:03:32,205

light reflection in the water.

00:03:36,935 --> 00:03:37,025

Okay.

00:03:37,445 --> 00:03:37,805

Okay.

00:03:37,805 --> 00:03:40,415

And maybe we'll do a real quick

cloud, a little bit of liquid

00:03:40,445 --> 00:03:45,335

white and some titanium white,

maybe just a touch of that.

00:03:45,335 --> 00:03:46,505

Elizah and Crimson in there.

00:03:47,345 --> 00:03:48,125

Just a little bit.

00:03:50,675 --> 00:03:52,535

That's a little too

much in that cheat with.

00:03:54,644 --> 00:04:02,165

There we go now just drop in a few

little cloudy shapes, real light

00:04:02,165 --> 00:04:04,204

touch, and a lot of pain on the brush.

00:04:07,445 --> 00:04:09,095

Think about what a cloud looks like.

00:04:10,144 --> 00:04:11,975

Real light and fluffy on the top.

00:04:14,315 --> 00:04:16,024

And the bottom of it's basically flat.

00:04:18,065 --> 00:04:18,844

If you want to make a.

00:04:19,365 --> 00:04:21,285

Maybe a little straight cloud down here.

00:04:22,425 --> 00:04:22,635

Yeah.

00:04:22,675 --> 00:04:23,385

Dislike that.

00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:28,725

And there's a possibility that

there's one coming in over here too.

00:04:33,275 --> 00:04:34,685

turn your brush on the side.

00:04:35,225 --> 00:04:36,905

Spin it just a little circles.

00:04:36,905 --> 00:04:40,535

Since what clouds are long was

you're making little circles.

00:04:40,535 --> 00:04:41,255

You can't go wrong.

00:04:44,645 --> 00:04:47,195

If you're a beginner and just

starting out for the first time.

00:04:47,795 --> 00:04:53,325

Uh, You might want to try this painting

because it's real simple, real basic.

00:04:57,349 --> 00:05:01,670

It's one of the ones I teach

in class most often lift up on

00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:03,680

those clouds, little cross them

00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,640

like dad tells you it's just three

hairs in some air, just a light touch.

00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,060

Here we go.

00:05:21,469 --> 00:05:22,010

Okay.

00:05:22,039 --> 00:05:22,909

Maybe we'll put a little.

00:05:23,474 --> 00:05:25,034

Mountain back here in the distance.

00:05:26,114 --> 00:05:31,664

We'll start off with a little white,

a little pression blue and a little

00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:35,625

lizard and cramps and white person

blue and Elizah and craftsman.

00:05:39,734 --> 00:05:40,275

There we go.

00:05:40,275 --> 00:05:40,905

Mix that up.

00:05:40,934 --> 00:05:41,354

Good.

00:05:42,585 --> 00:05:47,205

And maybe this one will be back

off in here in the distance.

00:05:48,809 --> 00:05:54,390

Far away, just make a kind of a triangular

shape and then change it a little bit.

100

00:06:00,109 --> 00:06:01,729

Put a little bump here, a little bump.

101

00:06:01,729 --> 00:06:02,150

There

102

00:06:05,929 --> 00:06:06,530

we go.

103

00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:09,810

You guys wouldn't believe

what I did the other day.

104

00:06:09,810 --> 00:06:18,000

I went into New York city and, uh, help

dad work on the Donahue show and yeah,

105

00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:19,860

went on there and did some paintings.

106

00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:23,310

And we took five people from the studio

audience and taught them how to paint too.

107

00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:29,400

And then they came out on the stage

and unveiled their paintings and they

108

00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,770

looked almost as good as Bob Ross is.

109

00:06:31,770 --> 00:06:32,789

If you can believe that.

110

00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:36,420

It was the first time they'd ever

picked up a brush and just goes to

111

00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:37,560

show you what you can do with it.

112

00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,190

even Donahue did a painting.

113

00:06:46,219 --> 00:06:46,969

Can you believe that?

114

00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:51,980

I thought, man, Phil Donahue never

picked up a brush in his life.

115

00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:56,960

And he just learned from one of the videos

and went on and did a beautiful painting.

116

00:06:57,530 --> 00:06:58,219

It was amazing.

117

00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:05,610

If you want to take a little bit of

titanium white, and of course I had

118

00:07:05,610 --> 00:07:08,790

some of that Crimson leftover in that

you don't really want to use pure white

119

00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:13,500

on this particular mountain, little

roll of paint on the knife, and let's

120

00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:16,260

go up there and pull down real gently.

121

00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:18,870

Just lay some snow in there.

122

00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,190

Try not to get too much pain on just

a little bit, always better to have

123

00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:27,600

just a tiny bit of pain on the knife.

124

00:07:31,085 --> 00:07:33,695

As you can see, you can get a

really nice effect with not a

125

00:07:33,695 --> 00:07:34,955

whole lot of effort right here.

126

00:07:41,164 --> 00:07:41,705

Okay.

127

00:07:41,974 --> 00:07:45,275

And then if we just go in and

take a little bit of pressure

128

00:07:45,275 --> 00:07:49,474

and blue and a little bit of

white, it can be dirty white.

129

00:07:49,474 --> 00:07:50,375

It doesn't have to be clean.

130

00:07:51,664 --> 00:07:54,125

We can make a nice shadow

color, a nice light blue.

131

00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:55,265

There we go.

132

00:07:56,765 --> 00:07:57,155

And then.

133

00:07:58,725 --> 00:08:01,395

Pull down, pull down with those angles.

134

00:08:03,225 --> 00:08:05,055

Like I said, a super light touch.

135

00:08:05,135 --> 00:08:05,225

Okay.

136

00:08:11,315 --> 00:08:12,095

But you know, it's true.

137

00:08:12,095 --> 00:08:15,215

You don't have to have any previous

experience to paint like this.

138

00:08:15,575 --> 00:08:15,755

I know.

139

00:08:15,755 --> 00:08:17,285

You're probably saying all we have, right?

140

00:08:17,735 --> 00:08:18,335

Sure.

141

00:08:18,515 --> 00:08:21,935

Tell me more, but no, I'm serious.

142

00:08:22,115 --> 00:08:25,385

The first time I ever did a painting,

I was halfway happy with the results.

143

00:08:25,385 --> 00:08:27,240

I mean, And I got compliments.

144

00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,320

Like you wouldn't believe it made

me feel real good inside know.

145

00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,600

So if you feel like giving it

a try, you were to get one of

146

00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,330

our certified instructors to

teach you a class or something.

147

00:08:39,850 --> 00:08:41,220

They travel all over the country.

148

00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:46,230

We go us a little bit more snow.

149

00:08:46,950 --> 00:08:49,170

You know how mountains are they

have those little snow caps.

150

00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,090

Okay.

151

00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:51,870

And then let's take a.

152

00:08:52,785 --> 00:08:55,305

Big brush and tap out the bottom of that

153

00:09:00,005 --> 00:09:01,775

lift up into it real gently.

154

00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:07,175

Once again, if you're real brave, you

can even do a little bit right there.

155

00:09:07,895 --> 00:09:08,045

Yeah.

156

00:09:14,675 --> 00:09:16,535

Maybe just a touch, more snow right here.

157

00:09:19,415 --> 00:09:20,885

Just making decisions as I go.

158

00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:24,810

I don't have any painting that I'm

looking at or anything like that.

159

00:09:24,810 --> 00:09:25,890

I'm just making it up.

160

00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:28,290

That's the funnest way to do it.

161

00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:31,590

Here we go.

162

00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:36,090

Uh, maybe there's a nice big

Foothill coming under there.

163

00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:42,890

A little pressure and blue, little

black, little Crimson, and a touch

164

00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:49,290

of white with that watch I pushed

this brush out just like that.

165

00:09:49,815 --> 00:09:50,835

Push it into the paint.

166

00:09:51,645 --> 00:09:52,095

Okay.

167

00:09:53,025 --> 00:09:56,985

Then maybe that Foothill goes right across

in front of that mountain, just like that.

168

00:09:58,275 --> 00:10:03,675

Now remember, you're using a squared

off brush here, so turn it to get a nice

169

00:10:03,675 --> 00:10:05,445

rounded effect on top of your Hills.

170

00:10:11,555 --> 00:10:12,125

Okay.

171

00:10:12,185 --> 00:10:16,415

And then maybe we'll lift up a little

to give it to distant pine tree.

172

00:10:16,415 --> 00:10:16,805

Look.

173

00:10:18,435 --> 00:10:21,615

Thousands of little pine trees just

appear in right before your eyes.

174

00:10:23,775 --> 00:10:27,855

I've been doing this now since I was

12 years old and I'm 27 now and it

175

00:10:27,855 --> 00:10:32,985

never ceases to amaze me the results

I can get with these huge brushes.

176

00:10:34,094 --> 00:10:37,785

I mean, if somebody, you know, would

come to me and tell me that, and I didn't

177

00:10:37,785 --> 00:10:42,525

paint it off and tell them they were nuts,

but since you were watching it happen

178

00:10:42,735 --> 00:10:45,885

right before your eyes, It proves it.

179

00:10:47,865 --> 00:10:49,425

And like I said, anyone can do it.

180

00:10:49,425 --> 00:10:54,375

You don't have to be a Leonardo

DaVinci or a Michael Angelo to do this.

181

00:10:55,935 --> 00:10:59,535

And I'm not going to tell you that this

is art, that, uh, is going to hang in

182

00:10:59,535 --> 00:11:01,425

the Smithsonian or anything like that.

183

00:11:02,025 --> 00:11:03,705

But I will tell you that your friends.

184

00:11:04,995 --> 00:11:09,194

We'll probably buy paintings from

you after you do a couple, so you

185

00:11:09,194 --> 00:11:10,785

can actually make money off of it.

186

00:11:10,905 --> 00:11:14,415

I probably shouldn't mention that, but

I know some of you might be interested

187

00:11:14,415 --> 00:11:15,944

in monetary gain from your paintings.

188

00:11:15,944 --> 00:11:16,635

I know I am.

189

00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,360

You got to make a living somehow

can't, even if you don't want to make

190

00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,160

a living from it, it's real nice.

191

00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,470

You know, when somebody comes

up and says, I'd love to pay

192

00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:27,000

you a hundred dollars for that.

193

00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:29,850

And you're thinking, wow,

am I really that good?

194

00:11:29,850 --> 00:11:30,180

You know,

195

00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:35,340

there we go.

196

00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:38,370

Nice distance foothills.

197

00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:41,340

Now this side over here,

it looks kind of barren.

198

00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:43,320

So maybe we were to put a

couple of trees over there.

199

00:11:46,395 --> 00:11:55,245

How about, um, let's see, let's

make this a little bit of SAP green,

200

00:11:58,355 --> 00:12:00,005

you know, at the beginning of

the show, they were running your

201

00:12:00,005 --> 00:12:01,535

colors across the screen for you.

202

00:12:01,535 --> 00:12:03,155

So you should have

those all out and ready.

203

00:12:09,574 --> 00:12:12,245

We'll mix up some greens

and Brown and some blue.

204

00:12:14,175 --> 00:12:15,194

So it's really dark.

205

00:12:15,255 --> 00:12:19,845

So we had to put white, a little

bit of white with it at work.

206

00:12:23,115 --> 00:12:23,235

Yeah.

207

00:12:23,235 --> 00:12:24,314

Maybe a little more green

208

00:12:28,755 --> 00:12:29,265

right now.

209

00:12:31,775 --> 00:12:36,765

We'll go through that with the

fan brush, pull through like

210

00:12:36,765 --> 00:12:38,865

this real long and flat strokes.

211

00:12:39,465 --> 00:12:39,855

Okay.

212

00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:46,155

Maybe there's one right here and we'll

push up, push it up on that brush.

213

00:12:48,074 --> 00:12:50,145

Let's go back and forth like a Z pushing.

214

00:12:54,814 --> 00:12:55,285

Okay.

215

00:12:55,314 --> 00:12:56,645

Maybe a taller one right here.

216

00:12:56,944 --> 00:12:58,475

You got to have a tall

buddy, right beside him.

217

00:12:59,525 --> 00:13:02,074

That's who gives them advice

on those really cold days?

218

00:13:05,584 --> 00:13:06,305

Here we go.

219

00:13:07,335 --> 00:13:09,255

You'll catch me making sound

effects here and there.

220

00:13:09,285 --> 00:13:10,035

That's really good.

221

00:13:10,035 --> 00:13:12,855

You know, sometimes if you make a

little sound effect to go along with

222

00:13:12,855 --> 00:13:17,095

something, it helps you remember that,

then you can just go, you know, do do

223

00:13:17,095 --> 00:13:19,185

doot or whatever, and pops right out.

224

00:13:20,805 --> 00:13:22,605

Either easier to remember things that way.

225

00:13:23,205 --> 00:13:24,915

Then down in here, I'm

just going to draw a line.

226

00:13:24,915 --> 00:13:29,145

So I know where I'm going to, I'm going

to have my land coming around like that.

227

00:13:29,535 --> 00:13:32,505

And then rather than wasting time

with the fan brush, went out,

228

00:13:32,505 --> 00:13:34,155

fill it in with a larger brush.

229

00:13:36,345 --> 00:13:37,695

When I say large, I mean, it don't.

230

00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:42,750

Two inch right in there.

231

00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:44,010

Just like a Foothill.

232

00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,980

If you want to make it look

more like grass, just turn the

233

00:13:46,980 --> 00:13:48,570

brush over and push up on it.

234

00:13:48,570 --> 00:13:49,020

Look at that.

235

00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:56,100

Smashing it right there.

236

00:13:59,070 --> 00:14:00,210

Right there under the canvas.

237

00:14:00,210 --> 00:14:00,510

Okay.

238

00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,010

Gee, wait, is that a where your arm out?

239

00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:05,610

Okay.

240

00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:08,310

A little bit more on there and

maybe we'll reflect this down.

241

00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,130

So you accidentally made

this piece of land too wide.

242

00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:15,910

Well, just go up in there a little bit

higher when you're pulling, but keep that

243

00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:18,520

curve down to the left on it, because

that's what makes it look like it's

244

00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,500

further away here than it is over here.

245

00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,110

That's the effect we're trying to get.

246

00:14:23,770 --> 00:14:26,560

And remember when you're pulling

a reflection down, pull it down as

247

00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,410

low as the things above it are high.

248

00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,640

So this tree is this high.

249

00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,620

That reflection would have to

go all the way to the bottom.

250

00:14:35,820 --> 00:14:36,150

Okay.

251

00:14:38,005 --> 00:14:41,235

And why don't we just take a clean,

dry brush and go across that real quick

252

00:14:45,455 --> 00:14:48,575

and well, let's use that same one

and go through a little bit of

253

00:14:48,575 --> 00:14:50,765

cadmium yellow card, yellow to work.

254

00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:51,005

Good.

255

00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:53,045

A little bit of thinner.

256

00:14:53,045 --> 00:14:53,645

Maybe in that,

257

00:14:56,735 --> 00:14:58,715

that one drop a thinner

that's all it takes.

258

00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:03,510

And we know yellow and blue make green.

259

00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:08,970

So just push up into that yellow and

blue combination and come in here.

260

00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:10,390

Maybe we'll highlight a little bit.

261

00:15:10,390 --> 00:15:10,440

Yeah,

262

00:15:20,030 --> 00:15:22,250

leave some of that green

graph sticking up and back.

263

00:15:27,329 --> 00:15:28,650

This is a nice, bright color.

264

00:15:28,650 --> 00:15:29,310

I really like it.

265

00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,890

It's good that you can make

one come in front of another

266

00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:33,959

or whatever you want to do.

267

00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,000

People come up to me while I'm

doing demonstrations and they say,

268

00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,980

yeah, where are those numbers at?

269

00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:45,150

Where you got those numbers hidden?

270

00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:47,040

And I say, what numbers

are you talking about?

271

00:15:47,069 --> 00:15:48,439

They said, isn't this paint by number?

272

00:15:48,510 --> 00:15:50,220

No way, no way.

273

00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:51,810

We don't even draw a

picture on the canvas.

274

00:15:52,275 --> 00:15:54,105

Before we start not even a guideline,

275

00:15:58,005 --> 00:16:01,515

you know, once in a while, when I'm doing

a black Jesso type thing, I'll do that.

276

00:16:01,515 --> 00:16:04,335

But on white canvas, I

usually just wing it.

277

00:16:05,535 --> 00:16:06,765

People are impressed by that.

278

00:16:08,475 --> 00:16:11,535

And you know, after you take a

painting class and you come back

279

00:16:11,535 --> 00:16:14,115

home and people see your painting,

they say, Oh my goodness, I

280

00:16:14,115 --> 00:16:15,585

never knew they had it in them.

281

00:16:15,585 --> 00:16:18,735

They really think you're talented

suddenly, you know, and you are.

282

00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:20,910

But I'll tell you.

283

00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:23,520

What's so fun about that is

there's a prestige that goes

284

00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,800

along with being an artist.

285

00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:29,730

And I'll tell you what the first

painting you do and you bring it home

286

00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:31,340

and it looks it's nice like that.

287

00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:33,590

They'll say that, you know,

this person is an artist.

288

00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:35,240

Gladys is definitely an artist.

289

00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,760

Suddenly people change the way they

think of you too, uh, for the good,

290

00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:43,490

and that makes you feel good inside.

291

00:16:45,209 --> 00:16:49,319

Always go across that reflection with

a clean, dry brush, because you have

292

00:16:49,319 --> 00:16:50,660

to make it look like water down there.

293

00:16:55,310 --> 00:16:55,699

Okay.

294

00:16:55,699 --> 00:16:58,849

And maybe a little,

little land under that.

295

00:16:58,969 --> 00:16:59,060

Okay.

296

00:17:03,109 --> 00:17:07,669

A little bit of Vandyke

Brown touch right here.

297

00:17:08,329 --> 00:17:12,560

And then just pull down

that simple look at that.

298

00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:25,880

With the greatest of ease you have

shale looks even better after you

299

00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,140

put a little bit of highlight on it.

300

00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:30,140

Just dark, CNN, white for

that real simple color mix.

301

00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,600

This gives it that clay

look, clay and rock.

302

00:17:42,615 --> 00:17:44,295

Here we go just like that.

303

00:17:45,305 --> 00:17:50,105

Now, maybe with a one inch brush in

that same yellow color, we'll drop

304

00:17:50,105 --> 00:17:51,455

in a little grass on top of that.

305

00:17:51,455 --> 00:17:55,685

Remember whenever you're putting

thin paint on top of thick paint,

306

00:17:56,014 --> 00:18:00,815

you want to put quite a bit on the

brush like this, maybe a little blue

307

00:18:00,815 --> 00:18:02,855

with that and use a real light touch.

308

00:18:02,855 --> 00:18:04,625

Why that turned that into a super color?

309

00:18:05,075 --> 00:18:07,205

See, I just guessed and

it came out like that.

310

00:18:10,685 --> 00:18:14,105

now you probably don't believe

that, but that's really how I do it.

311

00:18:14,105 --> 00:18:16,865

I just, if I see two colors that

look like they'd make a nice

312

00:18:16,865 --> 00:18:18,275

color, I just put them together.

313

00:18:18,905 --> 00:18:21,995

People ask me all the time, Steve,

how do you know what colors to mix?

314

00:18:21,995 --> 00:18:22,835

How do you know how to do it?

315

00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:23,765

Well, I just played with it.

316

00:18:24,575 --> 00:18:27,515

I just played with the

brushes and the paints and

317

00:18:27,515 --> 00:18:28,775

everything, all of it, you know?

318

00:18:28,835 --> 00:18:32,105

And suddenly things just

start to happen for you.

319

00:18:32,465 --> 00:18:34,025

Like, I can remember

that fan brush, right?

320

00:18:35,655 --> 00:18:38,205

I had the hardest time learning

how to paint with that fan brush.

321

00:18:38,265 --> 00:18:41,805

Then after I made like a hundred

pine trees on cardboard, I could make

322

00:18:41,805 --> 00:18:43,785

one just as good as anybody else.

323

00:18:43,785 --> 00:18:46,485

Could it have been doing it a long time?

324

00:18:46,485 --> 00:18:47,565

You know, here we go.

325

00:18:47,775 --> 00:18:50,415

How about some highlights?

326

00:18:50,505 --> 00:18:56,475

Highlights on the pine trees, a little

bit of the blue and the yellow together.

327

00:18:58,275 --> 00:19:01,095

Mix it up on the brush.

328

00:19:03,034 --> 00:19:06,095

And we'll come in and just

smash it a little bit of that.

329

00:19:06,095 --> 00:19:11,585

And on the right hand side of those trees,

if you get a little bit too much highlight

330

00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:15,065

here, there, just go back with a little

bit of the dark paint and cover it up.

331

00:19:16,085 --> 00:19:19,325

And if you really don't like something,

you can just scrape it off and start over.

332

00:19:20,915 --> 00:19:22,294

And don't think of it as, Oh my gosh.

333

00:19:22,325 --> 00:19:24,445

I had to scrape something

off my canvas and start over.

334

00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,385

Don't think of it like that.

335

00:19:25,385 --> 00:19:26,135

That's depressing.

336

00:19:26,405 --> 00:19:26,794

Think of it.

337

00:19:26,794 --> 00:19:29,524

Like I just got two canvases worth

of practice for the price of one.

338

00:19:33,735 --> 00:19:34,185

Here we go.

339

00:19:34,185 --> 00:19:40,155

They're sitting right down in that

grass and let's see, that'd be a little

340

00:19:40,155 --> 00:19:45,795

shoreline underneath this with liquid

white, spin that liquid wine around like

341

00:19:45,795 --> 00:19:57,105

that, go through it and straight across,

straight across still water lies flat.

342

00:19:57,105 --> 00:19:57,345

So.

343

00:19:58,034 --> 00:20:00,435

Don't let that water line

get all bent up and stuff.

344

00:20:03,004 --> 00:20:03,814

This is exec

345

00:20:10,264 --> 00:20:12,274

and maybe a couple of

water lines out here.

346

00:20:21,965 --> 00:20:26,825

let's go ahead and go through our

dark green color and add a little

347

00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:28,325

bit more blue and green to it.

348

00:20:28,445 --> 00:20:29,585

Make it super dark.

349

00:20:31,235 --> 00:20:33,315

And then, uh, Maybe right here.

350

00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,545

We'll just have a little tree.

351

00:20:35,955 --> 00:20:37,305

I was getting bigger all the time.

352

00:20:37,425 --> 00:20:38,295

Oh no, it's huge.

353

00:20:39,375 --> 00:20:40,065

Look at that.

354

00:20:41,325 --> 00:20:42,075

It's a monster

355

00:20:45,365 --> 00:20:46,095

you can tell.

356

00:20:46,095 --> 00:20:47,205

I knew that I was going to do that.

357

00:20:47,205 --> 00:20:51,525

Didn't he tell you that huge, but

you know what we're going to do.

358

00:20:51,525 --> 00:20:53,175

We're going to put another

tree in front of this one.

359

00:20:53,175 --> 00:20:54,885

This will be like a background type thing.

360

00:20:56,175 --> 00:20:57,645

So I'm just doing it real quick.

361

00:20:58,065 --> 00:21:00,855

Not spending a lot of time on the

highlighting of it either because.

362

00:21:01,485 --> 00:21:05,655

Like I said, there'll be a nice Birch

tree right over in front of there.

363

00:21:07,004 --> 00:21:08,325

Well, heck that didn't look too bad.

364

00:21:08,325 --> 00:21:11,534

Like it is now.

365

00:21:11,534 --> 00:21:12,764

You've got to keep your confidence up.

366

00:21:12,764 --> 00:21:13,754

Tell yourself you're good.

367

00:21:20,254 --> 00:21:22,835

Even if I'm not happy with

the way my painting is gone.

368

00:21:23,885 --> 00:21:26,405

I always try to keep it in good

spirits about it, you know?

369

00:21:26,855 --> 00:21:27,784

Cause it's just a painting.

370

00:21:27,784 --> 00:21:30,514

It's not, it's not that big of a deal.

371

00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:35,970

Okay for that Birch tree, get

some Vandyke Brown out there.

372

00:21:36,030 --> 00:21:40,139

Get a roll on your knife

and then nice big one.

373

00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:40,889

Here we go.

374

00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:42,720

All the way down to the bottom.

375

00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,889

Maybe it'll have two trunks on it.

376

00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,550

Like I said, always,

always give it a friend.

377

00:22:01,095 --> 00:22:04,365

Come in from the other side,

fatten them up a little bit,

378

00:22:04,545 --> 00:22:05,775

feed them some more lasagna

379

00:22:12,065 --> 00:22:17,945

and then a little bit of titanium

white for highlight on those smash,

380

00:22:17,975 --> 00:22:19,835

that titanium white out like that.

381

00:22:22,985 --> 00:22:24,845

I mean, just pull in, pull in.

382

00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,500

Don't want to cover the

whole trunk with white.

383

00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:32,460

You want to leave half of it?

384

00:22:32,460 --> 00:22:32,820

Brown.

385

00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:42,170

maybe underneath there, you know,

that same old, green color you

386

00:22:42,170 --> 00:22:45,710

were using before, add a little

bit more blue and Brown and green

387

00:22:45,710 --> 00:22:47,660

to that, make it even darker.

388

00:22:47,690 --> 00:22:49,070

Just making it a little bit darker.

389

00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,620

It's the same color you can call

that the base color just smashed

390

00:22:54,620 --> 00:22:57,140

right over the bottom of that

tree and put some bushes in there.

391

00:22:58,130 --> 00:23:00,170

You could do that part with a

paint roller and get away with it.

392

00:23:03,795 --> 00:23:05,625

Cole through your CAD yellow, like this,

393

00:23:08,975 --> 00:23:11,315

maybe a little bit of highlight

on a couple of these bushes.

394

00:23:12,575 --> 00:23:13,625

Just turn that brush.

395

00:23:13,655 --> 00:23:15,035

Just like you're going around the clock.

396

00:23:16,325 --> 00:23:16,805

See here.

397

00:23:16,865 --> 00:23:19,805

12 o'clock, one o'clock to three,

398

00:23:23,045 --> 00:23:24,695

change your color, put

a little red in there.

399

00:23:24,695 --> 00:23:26,675

A little yellow ochre or Indian, yellow.

400

00:23:26,675 --> 00:23:27,275

It's up to you.

401

00:23:28,185 --> 00:23:29,925

Well, it just became a

fall scene that quick.

402

00:23:29,925 --> 00:23:30,285

Didn't it?

403

00:23:33,635 --> 00:23:34,325

That's, what's nice.

404

00:23:34,325 --> 00:23:36,125

You're not committed

or anything with this.

405

00:23:36,815 --> 00:23:37,925

You can do anything you want.

406

00:23:39,065 --> 00:23:42,785

And it's always going to look nice

because you did it and you're wonderful.

407

00:23:42,995 --> 00:23:43,985

You have to believe that.

408

00:23:46,055 --> 00:23:47,345

I heard somebody say one time.

409

00:23:47,345 --> 00:23:49,445

Never, never try anything.

410

00:23:49,505 --> 00:23:50,075

Just do it.

411

00:23:50,945 --> 00:23:52,715

That's probably the best

thing I've ever heard.

412

00:23:57,885 --> 00:24:00,195

A little grass with a

brush sideways like that.

413

00:24:01,065 --> 00:24:06,135

And maybe to finish her up,

we'll have a couple branches.

414

00:24:07,095 --> 00:24:09,795

That's just a Vandyke Brown

and paint thinner together.

415

00:24:09,795 --> 00:24:13,785

You need quite a bit of thinner in that

you want an Indian ink consistency if

416

00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:20,415

possible, extend the tops of your trees

and do a few little trunks coming out.

417

00:24:22,035 --> 00:24:23,745

Keep on putting that thinner in there.

418

00:24:24,405 --> 00:24:25,215

You're going to need a lot.

419

00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:35,630

when you make a branch come out, make

it kinda like a, a guy with his arm

420

00:24:35,650 --> 00:24:40,580

sticking out, you know, go out and

then up a little wise and little bees

421

00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:45,560

and try to stay away from that.

422

00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,090

A Pitchfork look.

423

00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:47,900

Yeah.

424

00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:54,770

Okay.

425

00:24:56,970 --> 00:24:58,260

Now she's getting pretty close.

426

00:24:58,260 --> 00:25:07,500

Now, a couple more branches and

uh, maybe a quick signature down.

427

00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,959

Here we go.

428

00:25:10,199 --> 00:25:10,919

And we're all done.

429

00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:12,830

Thanks for watching me today.

430

00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:13,790

I hope you enjoyed it.

431

00:25:13,820 --> 00:25:15,889

And if you're a beginner,

try this painting.

432

00:25:15,980 --> 00:25:18,649

It's really a nice one to

start off with good luck.
