Welcome back. So glad you could
join us again today.

Today, I thought
we'd do a fantastic little seascape.

This is a very simple little
painting that's quite easy to do

and I think it'll stir
your imagination

and lead you on to
bigger and better things.

And I've taken
the liberty of going ahead

and covering the canvas with
a layer of Prussian Blue.

Very firm paint, don't use a paint
that's oily or slick,

it's a very firm, dry paint.

On the bottom, I've added a little
bit of Thalo Green

and a little bit of Van Dyke Brown
right over here in the corner.

So, with that, let's get started.

We'll take off here
with a one-inch brush

and I'm going to take a little bit
of Titanium White,

just a small amount on the brush.

One thing you'll notice,
on black canvas,

colour shows up much brighter
than it does on a white canvas.

And let's just go right up in here
and just...

..create a little light area,
right in here somewhere.

There we go. And just making little
X's, just brush it like that.

Just so we have a light source
back here.

And now you can begin to see
how the white

is picking up the blue under-colour
and it shows up.

With a large brush,
I'm just going to blend this.

Just very gently,
blend it all together.

Now, we talked about a firm paint,
but if you were using a thin paint

here when you tried to blend,
you'd become a mud-mixer.

So, use a very firm, dry paint.

OK, now.

Maybe we'll put a little moon
up here,

we can do some finger-painting.
I'll just take...

..a finger here and go right up

to where you want the moon

and just push in a little circle.
That's all.

Just a little circle. Like that.

And then we'll take the large brush
and very gently just blend this.

Once again, paint's firm,
so you can do all this blending.

There we go.

And that easy,
you have a little moon in the sky.

Now, let's start with the fan brush

and we can put some happy
little clouds in the sky.

I'm going to load some
Titanium White

and you don't need too much paint
this time,

cos, once again, colour shows up
so bright here.

And we'll just take and maybe
come right down here like this...

..and just begin making all these
pretty little things.

Just let this sort of disappear.

And we can add a little more colour
back up in here, just white,

just white paint.

There.

Maybe a little tiny bit in here.

Just let it gently get darker
and darker

as it gets away from the moon.

Up in here, maybe there's
another happy cloud

that floats around,
lives right here.

There we go.

Now, let's take...
And maybe right here...

This is your world, so you can put
clouds wherever you want them.

Maybe, right there, right there,
I see a cloud.

You see these things in your mind
and you put 'em on canvas.

There we go.

Maybe there's another little one,
just sort of hides right in here.

There we are.

OK, now.
We go back to the large brush

and this is where we find out
if you're brave.

Very gently,

just blend it all together.

And you can keep blending it
until it gets darker and darker

and darker and it'll finally go
away, if you blend it enough.

So you have to make an
almighty decision here.

When it gets to the point you like
it, stop, don't pedal it to death.

The areas closest to the moon
should be the brightest

and as they get further away
from the moon,

let them get darker and darker
and darker.

If you want something darker,
once again, just blend it more.

There we are.

Isn't that a super, super, simple
nice way to make a little sky?

OK. Let me wash the brush.

We wash the brush with
odourless paint thinner

and when you're doing this at home,

rig you up a box or something
to contain it,

otherwise you're going to
redecorate your house in a second.

Alrighty, now,
let's take the palette knife

and we'll take a little
bit of Titanium White.

Very, very small amount of paint.

And we'll figure out here where the
waterline's going to be.

And just very gently begin
touching the canvas.

Now, you want this to be
pretty straight,

you don't want your water to run off
one side of the canvas.

You have to hang a bucket over
there to catch it.

So try to keep it pretty straight
as it comes across there.

There we go.

Now, maybe, right into
the moon here,

we're going to have some light
reflecting in the water,

so we can just take...

..and do this.
I'm pushing very, very hard,

just to push the colour
right into the canvas.

Just let this come all the way down.

There.

And we can drop a few more
little things back in here.

All I'm doing is touching
the canvas, just touch it.

And start in the lightest area
and work out

and automatically it'll get darker

as it goes out
from the light source.

You don't have to worry about it
or think about it,

or make all these big decisions,
they're done for you.

Let the paint work.
Let the canvas work for you.

You can see now how it's picking
up the Prussian Blue

and a little Thalo Green.

Very pretty.

All we're doing is just touching...

You know, we get so many cards
and letters from people

who are watching the shows
and one of them...

..one of the big things
that we're hearing,

is people want seascapes,
like they have in Florida.

We have a lot of super friends
in Florida,

so this little seascape is for them.

And Florida is one
of our favourite places.

My mother lives in Florida.

I was originally born and raised
in Florida and moved to Alaska,

but my mother... And I have a
brother who still lives there.

There we go.

Now...

..once again,
we'll take the large brush

and all we're going to do is just
very gently blend this in.

We're using pretty firm
pressure here,

we can really push...
This paint's dry,

we can push it and move it around
without destroying everything.

There we go.

And already we have the light
shining through the water

and then we can begin working
on details in the water.

OK.

Now, I'm going to add a little
bit of Magic White to my fan brush,

just to make the paint
a little bit thinner.

A tiny bit thinner.

Load quite a bit of paint
into the brush

and we can begin working on some
individual waves and stuff here.

And we just barely touch the canvas,

we don't want big waves back here
in the distance,

we want them to get bigger
as they come forward.

Just barely touch it and give it
a little pull, just like that.

There you go.

Now, the super simple little way
to make some nice little waves...

..and I knew you could do it.

Very simple.

Little things happening
in the water, here and there.

Just let the fan brush play.

Just let it play and have fun.

Wherever you think there ought to be
a wave, that's where it should be.

There we go.

Now, as we come forward,

we want to start letting these
waves get a little bit bigger.

Maybe right up in here,
we'll put some beach in here,

so let's put a big wave
right in here.

Just let it go there.

There we are.

OK, now.

Now, once again,
right under a light source,

we want this to be bright,
so start here.

Like that.

There we go. See?

Automatically, it gets darker as you
get further away from it.

Over in here,
it's getting very dark.

And maybe this wave comes up here,

maybe it's getting ready
to start breaking.

Put a little more
curl in it right here.

You can just use your brush
to make the strokes

that give you any effect
that you want.

Maybe it's just beginning to
curl over. Boom!

All you have to do
is just take your brush

and bend it so it bends upward.

And then, grab the top and reverse
the angle, pull it over.

So that wave's coming up this way
and turns.

There we go.

In here, we can just add a few
little highlights on the water,

just where the light's playing
through here,

don't want them to get too bright.

Now, we can take a good, dry,
clean brush here,

and very gently,
just blend this right out.

Just blend it so it just fades
right into the background.

Very gently.

Three hairs and some air.

We can begin pulling this down
and working on some shapes.

There. Little things happening
in the water, some little foamies.

OK.

We almost have our big,
large wave finished here.

If you want to increase the
highlight, just touch, pull down.

Gee, now, maybe, maybe,
we have a little beach up here.

We want to spend some time
working on this beach.

Now, we can take the fan brush...

..and just put us some basic shapes
in here.

Now, we're not too
worried about anything now,

we're just putting some
colour on the canvas.

And with a clean, dry brush, I want
to grab this and pull it down.

I want reflections. I just want this
to look like sand. Wet sand.

Just pull it down.

And then we go gently across it.

It'll give the illusion of water.

Of very wet sand or something there.

Then we can go back and, once again,

we'll put in the little foam things

that are happening right along
in here.

And just sort of let them
blend backwards.

There we go.

Now, just sort of pull this back.

There.

Now, ain't this the most fantastic
little thing you've ever seen?

It's a super easy way to do
a nice, very effective seascape.

There.
We just add a little bit of white

and put us some little things
in here.

There we go.

And just let your imagination
take you where you want to be.

There.

As I say, I was born
and raised in Florida

and then, later on in life,

I moved to Fairbanks, Alaska -
what a contrast!

But Alaska is one of the most
beautiful countries in the world.

You have so many fantastic things
to look at.

And I want this side here just to
fade into nothing. Very lightly.

And that's...

There.

Brighten that a little bit,
I want that to be a little brighter,

it's right under the moon.

There we go.

And touch, pull down,
to create our little wave actions.

OK, now, with a large brush,
once again,

I'm just going to very
gently grab it...

Just blend everything else,
so it's nice and quiet.

There.

And you can do this blending
all the way across the painting

and make it as quiet as you want it.

OK. Let's wash the old brush.

Now, if you want to make these
little areas right along in here

stand out a little bit more,

we'll take a
No. 2 script liner brush,

I'll put a little bit of thinner
on it

and then we'll go right into
a little bit of brown,

just make it very, very thin,
like water,

and turn that brush, twist it,
so it comes to a nice sharp point.

And just underneath the edges here,
add a little bit of brown,

that'll sort of project
everything up.

Just pushes it up.

Just on the areas where you'd
see it on this side,

don't worry about back there.

There we go.

Then, once again,
we can gently blend that all in,

so it's nice and quiet.

And just wash the old liner brush.

Now...

..let's say, maybe there's a little
stone laying here on the beach...

..and I'll use a small edge
of the knife

and we'll just put a happy little
stone, right here.

Just a little one.

And I'll take a little
bit of Burnt Umber,

just a little Burnt Umber
and go right back

and lay a little
highlight on that stone,

just a little light playing through
there and maybe a little underneath.

Then, we can take a one-inch brush,
grab a hold of just the bottom

and pull down, we want that stone
to reflect into the wet sand

and then come across.
Just come across the reflection,

but we don't want to
touch our stone yet.

OK.

Now, we'll use a little bit of
Magic White, on the knife,

and we'll put... like there's water
standing round this stone,

just a little.

Just let it work right around.

And if you put one in here
that's too bright,

all you have to do
is just keep rubbing it

and it'll pick up the blue
that's underneath

and dull right down for you.

There we go.

And this painting,
we use such a limited palette,

there are so few colours used here.

Now, maybe, maybe, maybe, you can...

If this is in Florida,
we need a palm tree,

I got to have a palm tree,
so, maybe,

there's a big palm tree
right out through here.

We'll just start here with a little
bit of the Van Dyke Brown.

Pull it out, very flat...

..get a small roll of paint
on the knife

and maybe they're coming from right
off the side of the canvas here.

And we're just barely touching
the canvas, just let it go up.

Like that.

And now we can do
the other side of the tree.

Just do one side at a time.

And, when you do these,
you want them to get smaller

as they go up
and I know that sounds crazy,

but sometimes it's a little hard
to do.

Just want them to get smaller
towards the top.

There.
Now, we got us a basic trunk, yeah?

And palm trees are like everything
else, they get lonely too,

so let's give him a friend.

Maybe there's one that always just
bends all around like that,

comes way out through here.

You know, when you're painting
these, make up little stories.

It sort of helps you go along,
just capture a dream in your mind,

put it on canvas before it escapes.

And painting should make you happy.
Should always make you happy.

And if painting teaches you
nothing else,

it'll teach you to look at nature,

to see the fantastic beauty
that's around us every day.

That we take for granted.

Take a little time,
stop and look at it.

There.

There's a million,
million things to paint,

all you have to do is look around.

We'll try to show you how to paint
them. What you paint is up to you.

OK, now we got us a basic little
trunk, right there. Let's take...

..a little bit of white...

..and we'll make a grey
colour here.

Now, I've made this grey colour,
by mixing about equal amounts

of Thalo Green and Alizarin Crimson.

Thalo Green and Alizarin Crimson,
makes a beautiful, beautiful grey.

A true grey.

Now, we can put a little
highlight on these trunks

and all we're going to do
is just touch the canvas,

just touch it.

Let the canvas pull off
what it wants.

You don't have to make
any decisions.

Looks like the hurricane
came through

and blew the top of those off.

There.

When I was a boy,
being raised in Florida,

it was not unusual
to have some big hurricanes.

Woo! Goodness gracious!

They would blow you around for days.

There we go. Just touch.

All you have to do is just touch,
it's just grey and white.

Just let that follow
right up the tree.

There.

OK.

I think we're about ready to put
some leaves on this big old tree.

Now I'm going to take a little bit
of paint thinner on my fan brush

and go right into
this same grey colour.

But I want it very thin.

Very thin.

And I'm just using paint thinner.

We'll add a touch more there.
There we go.

And you have to make
an almighty decision,

which one of these trees is in front
and which one's in the back.

Maybe the little one's in the back.
So, we'll do him first.

All you have to do is just touch
and then take the fan brush,

with its thin paint, and pull.

Just pull, real quick, just snap it.

Just snap it and it'll make
all the little leaves

that you have on the palm trees.

OK. Now, let's go...

Maybe there's another happy little
limb right there

and we'll give him a little pull.

Just like so.

Just touch and pull.

And maybe there's a little one
that comes right out here...

..like that. Touch and pull.

Now, this one's sort of coming
right towards you,

so maybe you can see
both sides of him.

So put a little bit
on the other side, too.

Don't want all the little
leaves on one side of the palm limb.

Just let it come right on down.

Both sides.

And, right up here,
maybe there's one that goes up

and sort of turns...

We'll put some limbs right here.
There.

Very thin paint, though.
Very, very thin.

And one more, right there.

Touch, pull, just sort of snap
the brush.

And you can put as many leaves on
your palm tree as you want,

I'm just going to put a few,
to show you how to do them

and then at home, you can just...

..oh, you can just do anything,
cos you have unlimited time.

Let's have a nice big limb
that comes right out there.

Touch and pull.

Now, you can really see
these little leaves

against the clouds in the sky.

There we go.

Now...

..maybe it comes
right on back like that.

There.

And let me give him another
one right down through here.

Just touch and pull.

These are very loose.

OK. Here's a little one up here.

Maybe there's just a little one
growing right there.

There we go.

Like so.

We'll put a little bit
on the other side.

Maybe there's another one,
right there, right there.

And we'll put one more that's
sort of going across the trunk.

Don't have all the limbs just going
on either side,

have some actually go
across the trunk,

makes it look a little
more realistic.

Now, I'm going
to take the same grey colour

and go into a lighter grey,
just a tiny, tiny bit.

Just want to make these stand out,

cos I really want to keep these
silhouetted as much as possible

and just barely touch,

just the least little indication
of highlight on there.

Don't overdo.
Very easy to overdo.

And you have to sort of figure out

where the centre of the limb
is here,

the vein that goes
through the centre.

Just touch, like that.

There we go. There's one.

Just barely touch,

follow the angles that you have
on your original limbs.

Yeah.

There we are.

And I think this will give
all of our friends in Florida,

and anywhere else they want to paint
a seascape,

an idea of how to do a fantastic
little seascape,

that worked so easy
and it'll make you happy.

There.

Just like that.

Now.

Maybe, maybe...

..going right
back into the same grey colour

and I'm using
the liner brush this time,

maybe we'll just put a few little
indications of things down here.

There we are.

Just some little sea oats
or something,

that's growing right down
in here.

Just take your fan brush
and drop them in.

There I said fan brush,
I meant liner brush.

And when you're at home painting,
you can put a lot more detail,

you could put a little beach
in here.

OK, let's take and just use
the liner brush here,

and we'll put some little tops
on some of these,

make them look like little sea oats.

There, that's all there is to it.

Knew you could do it.

And, something like so.

I think we have a painting here

that's just about ready
for a signature.

So, I'll go into a thin oil,
and any kind of thin oil will work.

At home, you could use,
like, linseed oil or copal,

or any type of oil
that's nice and thin,

you want to take
and work that brush,

until the paint's almost like water.
Turn it,

to bring you a nice,
sharp edge here.

Just turn it.

And then we can sneak right up
in here and put a signature on it.

That's when you're almost ready
to stand back and admire.

Now, when you're doing these
black canvases at home,

view them under
several different lights.

It's unbelievable what happens
when you change the light sources.

These paintings are almost
like having two-in-one.

And, next week, we'll use
a white canvas,

so, if you're painting along with
us, have your canvas ready,

your easel set up and we'll do
a fantastic painting together.

Until then, from all of us here,
happy painting. God bless.
