Welcome back. Are you ready to do
a fantastic picture with me?

You've got your palette ready,
your easel set up?

A big glass of tea right beside you?

All right.

We're going to run the colours
across the screen,

in case you didn't get them
last week,

and just let you see all the colours
that we use on each series here.

Today, I thought we'd do
a picture that...

Let's do something that's got
some snow and ice in it,

and do something
that's quite cold.

This is a fun little picture to do.

I think you'll enjoy it very much.

We're going to use this
almighty brush a lot today.

We'll take it, and I'll show you
how to work with it.

So, let's start out and we'll take
just a little bit of Indian Yellow.

Just a tiny little touch.

Right on the corner
of the big brush,

and let's put a sun in the sky.

I like to do those.

Very gently,
make a little circle here.

Just like so.

There we go.

Now, I'm going to use
the other corner of the brush

and go into just a small,
small amount of Permanent Red.

A small amount.

This stuff is
unbelievably strong, so...

Now, I have yellow on one side
of the brush, and red on the other.

Making little Xs here.

We've got the red on the outside,
and the yellow on the inside.

There we go.

Just working around.

Just like so.

A little touch more
of the Permanent Red.

Just bring this right up
together here.

There we go.

Looks like an egg
I cooked the other day!

It's a good thing I took up painting
instead of cooking

because my eggs
don't come out too well!

All right, now, I'm going to go
into a little bit of Prussian Blue.

A tiny bit of Prussian Blue,

and Van Dyke Brown,

and just mix them on the brush.

You don't have to worry about
mixing them on the palette -

just mix them on the brush.

And go all the way out
to the furthest edge,

and we'll still be using
these little Xs.

We begin filling this in.

There.

As we get further
and further away from the sun,

we want it to get darker and darker.

Just bring that right on out.

There.

OK.

Now, I'll clean the big brush.

Once again, we clean the brushes
with odourless paint thinner.

Shake him off a little.

BRUSH RATTLES AGAINST EASEL

That's the most fun in painting!

All right, now.

We're going to take here, and just
begin blending all this together.

Just blend it. Working from the
lightest colour outward, always.

Just bring it together.

And here, we use quite
a bit of pressure on the canvas.

We're pushing this colour into the
canvas and blending it together.

All right.

Now, remember not to take this dirty
brush after you've hit this grey

and come back into the centre.

Always work outward.

Just bring it together.

You don't want to be able
to tell where one colour stops

and the other one starts.

OK. A nice,
even distribution of colour.

Very gently,
I'll just go all the way across.

And bring it all together.

Now, let's build
a happy little sun in the sky.

And we'll do that
using a one-inch brush,

and Titanium White,

and let's load a lot of paint
into the bristles here.

There.

Now, go right into the centre
of this yellow colour.

Push very hard, and turn the brush.

We're literally pushing this paint
right into the canvas,

right into the fabric.

There.

Then we can clean the brush.

OK, now with a knife,

we're going to take off the excess
paint so we can blend it together.

That's all there is to it.

Now, with a nice clean, dry brush,

we can just begin
bringing all this together.

There.

Just blend it.

OK. We just about have a pretty
little sky down here already.

Now, let's go right in
to the Alizarin Crimson.

Right into the crimson, and add a
tiny little touch of Prussian Blue.

Now, the Prussian Blue is at least
100 times stronger than the crimson,

so a tiny bit of Prussian Blue,
a lot of crimson in comparison.

Just a little. There we go.

Load this brush full of paint.

Now, we're going to put
some basic tree shapes in there.

So, let's go right up here
to the canvas,

and we touch and bend the bristles.

That's what makes all the leaves
and stuff happen here.

Touch and bend the bristles.

Turn the brush
in the shape of the tree here.

There.

Isn't that something?

I used to work for weeks
to make a tree.

And maybe, maybe right here.

Right there.

But you see how hard
we are striking the canvas?

You really want to push this paint
right into the fabric.

All right. Maybe,
maybe just a little one right there.

And when you're doing this at home,

don't worry about following
exactly what I'm doing.

We're really trying
to teach you a technique.

We're not trying to teach you
to copy,

so let your imagination
be your guide.

There. A little more of the
Alizarin and blue. Oh, right here.

I see a big tree.

There it is.

So just imagine things in your mind,
and then put them on the canvas.

OK.

Now, we'll just come
right on down here a little.

We'll throw in some
nice little areas here.

There we go.

And over here. Maybe
there's a little bush right there.

Once again,
just let your imagination go crazy.

Do whatever feels right.

All right.

Maybe, while we have all
this colour on the brush,

let's imagine there's a little
pool of water down here.

So, just pull straight down.

It's most important that you
pull straight down.

This is going to end up being
the reflections in the water.

So, pull straight down. Add a little
tiny bit more blue here. There.

Make it a little darker
so it looks a little deeper.

And the blue will also
make it look a little colder.

There we go. Now, very gently
come across with the brush.

Very gently.

Already, that looks like water,
and you've done virtually nothing.

There we go.

OK.

Now, let's take the palette knife

and we'll use a little
bit of Van Dyke Brown here.

Just straight Van Dyke Brown.

Let's put some happy little
trunks in here.

Touch the canvas and pull it
slightly to the side.

Just slightly.

And create almighty trunks. There
we go. Let's put one right up here.

And trees don't always grow
straight. Let them bend.

Maybe when they were little,
a big moose came along

and stepped on him
and put a little crook in him.

OK, here we go.

I refer to moose because I don't
know if I've mentioned it,

but my home is in Fairbanks, Alaska,
so...

..we see a lot of moose and
caribou, elk, all those good things.

There. I'm going
to make that one a little wider.

I've decided it's a little closer,
so we'll make him a little bigger.

Just make him a little wider.

Now, I'll use a little
bit of the Titanium White,

and just highlight these trees.

Touch,
and just give it a little pull.

And when you are doing this,
let the knife go sort of around

so it gives the appearance
of roundness in the tree.

There. Just let it come round.

OK, let's go over here
and highlight this little tree.

Don't want him to get upset because
he doesn't have any highlight.

Now, if this is our light source,

this tree is going to be
highlighted on the opposite side.

So, we will just come right here...

..and put a little highlight
over here, like so.

OK, while we have this
white on our palette...

..let's begin laying in
a bit of snow here.

Just lay this in.

This is Titanium White.

There.

And gentle touch.

Gentle touch.

There we go.

And maybe there's some snow
all around the water here.

Isn't that fantastic?

And there's no big secret to this.

It's like anything else.

You learn the technique,
you practice it.

And you master it very quickly.

There.

We're not really looking for
definite shapes right now,

all we're doing is just
laying a little snow in.

OK.

There we go. All right.

Now...

..let's take and begin highlighting
all these trees and bushes here.

We use a one-inch brush,
and back to our golden rule.

Thin paint will stick to
thick paint.

So, I've dipped
the brush into some Magic White,

and then I'm going to go through
the Titanium White.

All the Magic White does is thin
this down so we can get it to

stick to the thicker paint
that's on the canvas already.

Load a lot of paint
into the bristles.

Probably the biggest mistake made

when you first start
is you're stingy with paint.

You've got to load
a lot of paint in there

so you don't have to hit so hard.

All you have to do
is barely touch the canvas

and bend the bristles a little bit.

OK, let's make all these
snow-covered little things here.

All you do is just barely touch
the canvas, and just let them bend.

There. Look at all those things.

Just touch and let it bend.

There we go.

You know, for so many years
I was a traditional painter.

And I spent weeks
trying to paint a picture.

All the agony. I remember it.

There, let's put some highlights
on this little bush right out here.

OK, let's go over
to this old big tree here.

There.

And we'll add just a bit more
of the Magic White to thin it.

It's beginning to pick up
the crimson.

It is getting a nice,
warm paint glow.

There we go.

A little more paint.

There.

You got your winter coat out yet?
It's going to get colder.

And let's put a happy little
bush right there.

And let these
come right down into the snow.

Very important -
do not kill all these darker areas,

or all you'll have
is a canvas that's white,

and that's what we started with.

OK.

Right up here.

Look at that.

Is it beginning to take shape yet?

I really hope you're painting
with us at home,

and enjoying this
half as much as we are here.

All right.

Look here, we have one side
almost completed already.

Let's put some little snow-covered
bushes right over here.

Once again,
don't kill all this dark.

Do-do-do. All right!

They just jump right on there.

OK, maybe there's another
one right in here.

OK, let's do this
great big old tree up here.

Thin this paint down
just a touch more.

And we'll go right up here.

Just begin producing thousands
of little sparkles up here.

Think how long that'd take you
with your one-haired brush.

Mm!

OK.

Now, let's take the palette knife,
and this is just a clean knife

with nothing on it, and just scrape
through the paint here and there.

Just make some little stems.

There we go.

All right.

I think maybe some over in here.

You know, what never
stops to amaze me

as we travel around
teaching this method,

to watch people who have never
painted, in only a day or two,

produce a painting -
they just can't believe it.

You see them, their eyes light up
and they become so excited.

They can do it, and you can do it.

All you need to do
is pick up a brush and try.

OK. A few little sticks here and
there. Maybe some right there.

Now, let's take...

So, we have some ragged
edges along here,

where I was putting
the snow down to the water,

so all you do is take a large brush,
grab a hold of it, pull it down.

Let it become
part of the reflection.

It acts as a highlight
in the reflection.

If you don't have enough,

you can go right into the white
with a large brush.

Touch, and pull down.

Mm!

There we are.

Just wherever you want these little
highlights in the reflection.

And then, very gently, come across.

Just enough to give it
a watery feel.

You don't
want to destroy all of this.

OK.

Now, let's take a little
bit of the Magic White,

and when you're using this, pull it
out very flat, and come across.

So we can make
a very fine line here.

Just like so.

Just let it go.

There we are.

Let's bring that snow down just
a tiny bit more.

Right here.

Just bring it right on down.

There.

I like these kinds of scene because,
I'll be honest, I'm a nature freak.

I love to walk through the woods
and talk to the animals.

Don't tell anybody that.

I even talk to trees at times.

But you need to understand nature
to appreciate the great,

great things that have been created.

We spend so much of our life
walking around,

looking but never...never,
never seeing.

If painting teaches you
nothing else,

it'll teach you to see nature
to appreciate some of the beauty

that surrounds us every day
that we take for granted.

All right. Maybe we'll have...

Let's do this.
Let's have snow come down to here.

There we go. Zoom!

And this should make you happy
when you're doing this.

This should give you
good feelings inside.

Look at that.

Just bring it right on through.

Maybe we'll make just a little pool
out here that's frozen.

Bring something around this way.

Just let your imagination
be your guide.

Let it happen.

Let it happen. Believe in yourself.

Believe in what you can do.

There.

Now...

..we'll take a little
bit of the Magic White here,

make us a nice little waterline.

Maybe... Maybe we'll just
do something like this...

Oo, that looks cold!

Just some little places
there where the snow is beginning

to blow into the water.

Mm!

Maybe right over in here, too.

OK.

Now, we can take a little bit
more of the crimson

and the Prussian Blue.

And we can just throw some little
bushes and stuff over in here.

Maybe there's one
that lives right here.

That's one the little bunny
rabbit hides behind

when he's getting a drink of water.

Right there.

OK.

And by doing this, you also create
another plane in the canvas,

so it produces more and more depth.

Right there is a good place, too.

We put the dark in first, so our
light colour will show up on it.

A little bit
more of the Prussian Blue.

I want to darken that a little.
There, that's much better.

OK. We'll clean that brush up.

A little bit of Magic White.
A little bit of Firm White.

Let's add just a tiny,
tiny touch of Permanent Red.

Just enough to make it have
a little pinkish glow here.

A tiny little bit.

And we'll come right in here...

..and begin pushing off
all these little leaves.

Don't kill all your dark. There.

All right.

There we go. Now, a little bit more.

Need a lot of paint on the brush.

And we'll come right over in here.

There.

Just let that run
right down the hill.

Always follow the lay of the land
when you're doing this.

You don't want to have the land
running this way,

and your bushes running uphill.

Always follow the lay of the land.

There we go.

Now. Right down in here.

There.

OK. Now, we'll cut a few more
little stems into this.

Just here and there.

Don't worry about cutting a hole
in the canvas. Canvas is tough.

My gosh, they even make tents
out of it.

It takes many years of using a knife
to ever sharpen it enough

to have to worry about
cutting a hole in the canvas.

Now we'll take a little
bit of Van Dyke Brown,

and a little tiny bit of umber.

Burnt Umber.

Mix them together, and maybe in just
a couple of little places here,

we'll put a couple of little trees.

Just... Just the little
stems are left.

Just here and there.
Just to break it up a little.

And, since this is your world,
you can

do anything in your world
that your heart desires.

Just let your imagination
take you to places

that you'd never dreamed
you could go.

Look at that.

Maybe...

Maybe, maybe, maybe...
Let's go right here.

Just drop in a little stick or two.

Isn't that something?

Just some little twigs.

There we go.

OK.

Now...

..just smooth this out a little.

Just a little bit, right in here.

OK. If you're painting along
with me, by now you should have

a painting that's getting
very close to being completed.

You should have a nice,
warm feeling in your heart,

and ready to do another
one in a few minutes.

There.

Just these little sticks.

Once again,
they create depth in the painting.

OK. Whoops, there's one I forgot.

Now...

OK.

Now, if you wanted to,
you could take your liner brush,

get a little bit of the Magic
White on the liner brush,

and we can highlight these little
stems here, just a little bit.

A little bit of snow on them.

There.

OK. We'll put a little bit
on this one here.

Not too much, or it will
disappear into the white behind it.

Now, one thing we'd like,
as you watch the shows,

if you have ideas of things
you'd like to see us

paint in the future, drop us a card,
let us know what you want to see.

Because we're here to please you,

and to teach you what you
want to know. So do let us know.

That's the only way we have
of knowing what you want,

what makes you happy,
and that in turn makes us happy.

OK. I think we'll sign this one.

I'm going to use a little
bit of the thin oil,

Permanent Red...

There. And turn this liner brush.

This is a No.2 Script Liner.

Turn it till it comes
to a nice, sharp point.

And...

..see how sharp that is?
There we go.

Now, we touch, and just
literally let the paint flow.

I want to finish this one up
just a little bit early

so we can talk a minute about what
we're going to do next week.

Because next week is going to be
a little bit different.

It's time we get into some
fun, fun things.

OK.

There we go. And I spelled it right,
for a change!

OK, I think we're going to call
this painting finished,

and I'm not going to fiddle
with it any more today.

So, next week we're going
to do a black canvas.

Now, if you've never done
a black canvas before,

this is going to be a treat for you.

If you're preparing your own canvas
at home, paint it with a flat,

black acrylic,
and allow it to dry completely,

or you can purchase
one from your local art store.

But be sure it is flat black.

We are going to cover the canvas

with Alizarin Crimson,
Prussian Blue, Phthalo Blue,

and we're going to make
a fantastic seascape.

Let's make a seascape.
We haven't done that yet.

We'll have like a California
or Oregon type coast.

Sunset. We'll do a seascape
sunset on a black canvas.

So, once again,
have your black canvas ready,

almighty easel set up, and we'll
do this fantastic painting together.

So, I think with that
we'll close this one.

I want to wish you the absolute
every possible joy

that life can bring.

From all of us here at this station,

we wish you happy painting,

and God bless.

See you next week.
