All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x13 - _track3_[eng]

Welcome back. Got your
paints ready, easel set up,

and all ready to do a fantastic
painting with me? Good.

Tell you what, let's have them
run all the colours

across the screen that you need to
do this painting with me.

And while they're doing that,
let's go on up here

and let me tell you
what I've already done.

I've covered this canvas, which is
an 18 x 24, as usual,

I've covered it with a piece of
contact paper

that has an oval cut in.

This is just normal old contact
paper you can pick up

at your local hardware store,
grocery store, whatever.

I've just cut an oval out of it,
stuck it on there,

and then I've covered this
whole inside with Liquid White,

as we normally do.

Other than that, there's nothing
different about that.

I thought today we'd do
a fantastic little winter scene

that I really
think you're going to enjoy.

So, tell you what,
let's go on up here and get started,

and we'll take right off.

And we'll start out today with
a small amount of Prussian Blue.

Just a little bit.

And a little touch
of Midnight Black,

so we have Prussian Blue,
and Midnight Black.

OK, and just mix them
right on the brush, like so.

OK, let's go right up here.

Now, using the little
crisscross, or X strokes,

let's just make a happy little sky.

See how you're making
these little Xs?

Just like so, start at the top...

..and work downward. By starting at
the top and working downward,

your paint will mix with
the Liquid White

and automatically your sky will get
lighter towards the horizon.

And this is one of those little
tricks that helps create

the illusion of depth
and distance in your painting.

Still using the little
crisscross strokes.

Just like so.

This is just Prussian Blue
and Midnight Black.

OK.

While I have that colour
still on the brush,

we'll have a little water in this.

I love water
so I use the same colours,

just blue and black, or black
and blue, whatever you prefer.

OK, let's go right in here,
and I just go right across, like so.

I don't know exactly where
the water is going to be

so anything that's not water,
we'll make it snow.

We'll make a little winter scene
and all of this can be shadows.

So, it really doesn't matter where
you put this. Just have fun.

OK.

Now, then, let's wash our brush.

And we wash our brush
with good old odourless thinner.

And be sure it's odourless.

If it's not,
son of a gun, you're going

to get run right out of the house!

You'll be working out in the yard.

Shake off the excess, then...

HE TAPS RAPIDLY

Just take out all your hostilities.
This is really where you have fun.

Now, then, with a good,
clean, dry brush,

we'll start in the light area
and blend upward.

Still using the little crisscross
strokes, little X strokes.

Just blend upward...

..like so.

Like so.

OK, now,
very lightly, we'll just go across

and take out all those brushstrokes
so that it's pretty smooth.

And if there's any areas
that are real dark, just blend them

and they'll blend right in.

Liquid White underneath
is fantastic...

..and will take out all those
dark areas.

Now I like to put a little black
in the sky since it's winter,

I want to give the impression
that it's cold,

so just go across this
to smooth it out.

OK.

And, that quick,
we have a happy little sky.

And let's make some clouds up here.

And, for that,
we use a one-inch brush.

You could make these clouds
with a one-inch brush...

..two-inch brush, fan brush.

Shoot, you can make them
with your shoe.

It's no big deal.

Just take and pull this brush
through the paint,

get a lot of paint on the brush.

OK, let's go right up here.

You have to make a big decision -
where does your cloud live?

I think... I think, yes,
he lives right here.

And make tiny little circles.

Tiny little circles continually.

Just like so.

See?

Just happy little circles.

Clouds, boy, they just float around
and have a good time.

And let your brush do that.

There he is. Maybe... OK,
let's have another one down here.

Wherever you think a cloud lives,

that's exactly where that son of a
gun lives, just drop it in there.

OK.

Now I'm going to take a clean,
dry, two-inch brush

and use just the top of the brush...

..and very gently blend
the bottom of the cloud out,

just blend the bottom of it out.

We're not touching
the top at all yet.

Now, then, we grab it
and fluff it, just fluff it up.

And do this in circular strokes.

Avoid doing it straight up or
it'll look like it's raining upward.

That would bother you.

That would really bother you.

Same thing down here.
Just blend it out.

Fluff it.

Fluff it, fluff it.

And go across.

Now, sometimes
when you're painting clouds,

it's fun to do layers of clouds,
one on top of the other.

So, completely finish one,
then come back and, watch here, see?

Go right in here, and drop in
another happy little cloud.

Maybe he lives right underneath
here. It doesn't matter.

Wherever.

You can put as many or as few clouds
in your world as you want.

Take our brush...

..give it a good little rap,
and do the same thing,

just blend it out a little bit.

See there.

Then pull it.

Now, this is two hairs and some air.

In other words,
it's extremely gentle.

The paint that we use is very firm,

so you can do all this blending
without becoming a mud mixer.

If you use a very soft,
slimy paint, you're in trouble.

The only time we use soft paints
is for highlights.

And, normally, that's yellow.

Yellow is normally always
a highlight colour.

So, that can be very soft,
but these base colours,

you need to be strong,
very, very strong.

Tell you what let's do -

let's put some little trees back
here in the background.

I'll mix up some black...

..some blue.
I like it black and blue.

And a little bit of Van Dyke Brown.

OK, let me clean off my knife.

And we'll take the round brush
and we're going to tap.

Just tap that right in there,
like so.

Just like this.

Now, then, I want some background
trees back in here.

So, all we're looking for
right now is basic shapes.

Start at the bottom of the tree
and work upward.

So, the bottom
is darker than the top.

And put in some very basic shapes.

I think I'll put
a whole line across here.

We'll just have trees all
the way across.

You know...

..in the last series,
I showed a little bird...

..a little robin that
I was raising that had lived with me

since he was just a baby.

And we've had so many people write
and tell us that they watched this

and they want to know
what happened to it.

Let me show you the robin.

This little bird was orphaned
and he lives with me now.

And I feed him every day
and take care of him.

And, pretty soon, he's going
to be a big bird.

He's going to learn to fly.

And we're going to turn him loose
and send him back to nature.

Now, just recently, myself
and Diane Schaefer, she's the bird

lady here in Muncie, we released
that robin when he was full-grown.

I had raised him
from a little, tiny baby...

..until he was a big bird.

And Diane and I let him go
close to her house.

And that's really...

There he went!
That really makes it all worthwhile.

My gosh, I must have...

..I must have spent
half my life for a while there

running around, chasing earthworms
to feed this little robin.

But I just wanted you
to see that he was all right.

He grew up and I was
so proud to let him go.

This year, I raised seven little
birds. And they all went.

We had everything from robins
to starlings.

I even raised some starlings,

and I know they may not be
the best bird in the world.

But I like them.
I like all little birds.

There we go.

The lady you saw there on the screen
that was with me, as I say,

she's the bird lady here in Muncie,
and we're trying to put

together a show that will show what
she does and how she takes care

of all these birds, and maybe you'll
get to see that in the future.

OK, I've put little trees all back
here in the background.

Now I just want to create a little
mist at the base, so I'm just

going to tap, give it a little rub,
tap...

..and go, like so.

Then give it a little upward lift.
See there?

It makes it nice and misty and soft.

Now, then, let me wash that round
brush, wash it the same way.

There's a screen in the bottom
of this bucket that

I scrub the brush against.
Shake it off.

HE TAPS RAPIDLY

And it's almost as much
fun as a big brush!

Now, then, let's have some snow
on top of all these.

So, I'm going right into the
Titanium White.

And I want to tap. Tap firmly.

Use the top of these bristles,

that's where you really
want to do the tapping.

Go right up in here
and get some paint on them, OK?

All right, let's go
right up in here.

Now, use just the top bristles...

..and begin laying all kinds of
little snow-covered areas

on these trees.

You see there, you can just put
thousands and thousands of leaves

just with a couple of strokes.
But layer these. See?

That, once again, creates distance.

I know you get tired of hearing me
saying about distance.

But I think it's so important that
paintings have distance in them.

So many paintings are flat.

And then you don't like them.

And I want you to be happy with what
you learn and what you do.

We get letters from people all over
the country saying it's working

for them, that they're
turning out some of the most

beautiful paintings
you've ever seen.

And they never dreamed
they could even paint.

And they can.
And you can. You really can do this.

We show you everything that you need
here to do fantastic paintings.

Absolutely fantastic paintings.

And we have teachers that travel
all over the country,

like my son, Steve.
Boy, that little son of a gun.

You've seen him on maybe some
of the other shows,

little bitty fella, he's over 6'4".

He travels around
and teaches people.

He's a lot of fun.

And there's about
a dozen other teachers.

So, if you ever get a chance,
go watch him.

They give demonstrations all over
the country, and you'll enjoy them.

OK, now we have some little
snow-covered trees back here,

we can take our knife...

..just go in here and scrape in
an indication of some trunks

and limbs and sticks and twigs.

All kinds of things.

So, you've got to have all these
trees cos my robin has to have

a place to hide up here.

There we go.

I hope you enjoyed seeing
that little rascal

as much as I enjoyed
bringing him to you.

I'm sort of proud of him
just like another kid.

OK, now I'm going to take Titanium
White on the two-inch brush...

..just pull it through the paint.
Lot of paint on the brush.

Let's go right up here.
Now, then, we have to make

some big decisions.
Where is the snow?

I think it's right there.

Right there, see there? That easy.

That easy.

You just make a decision,
decide where your snow lives,

and pull it in.

Just drop it in.

There we go.

And you can put...

..all different angles in here,
so that it's not just monotonous,

not just one flat angle.

If you want it flat,
this is your world

so you make it any way you want it.

There we go.

Isn't that super? That easy.

This old two-inch brush is, why,
it's a son of a gun,

you can really get in there

and build some snow in a second.

Tell you what let's do -
let's have some fun today.

Maybe we'll put
an old barn out here.

And maybe one of the easiest ways
I've found to do barns

and buildings of any kind
is take your knife

and scrape out a basic shape
where you want him to live.

This removes excess paint

and allows you to lay it out
without really being committed.

Maybe we'll do a weird-shaped one
today, what the heck, you can

do any-shaped barn
in your painting that you want.

OK, now come over here,

do something like that.

And down here, down here.

Whatever.

See how easy it is to lay that whole
thing out and you're not committed.

Now we can go in here. Let's start
with some white. Let's go in here.

Watch here.
Or let me do it this way.

This is the best way so you stay in
the lines.

You just sort of outline it,
just sort of outline it,

that'll help you keep it nice
and smooth on the edges,

then pull down.

See how straight that line is?

Isn't that sneaky? I look
for those easy way to do things.

Roof comes right down like that.

Right on down. And over here, we
need a little bit of snow.

There it is.

Boy, I wished I could build
a barn that quick!

Now, with the Van Dyke Brown,

and we'll get right in here,

and put a little eave,
or an overhang.

You want to use some Van Dyke Brown
and Dark Sienna

sort of mixed together.

And we'll start off by putting
some dark in here.

We need dark in order
for our light to show.

You have to have
dark for the light to show.

If you put light against light,
you have nothing.

Dark against dark, you have nothing.

Painting is just continually
dark against light,

light against dark.

OK, clean off the old knife.

Now, then, let's put
some colour in there.

Take some Dark Sienna,

some Bright Red, mix it together.

Let's put the least little touch
of white. That's nice!

Don't overmix it.
Leave it about like so.

Cut off a little roll of paint,

see how even there, it's all mixed
and marbled?

OK. Let's go right up here.

Now, I'm just going to take
the edge of the knife...

..and just sort of bounce across.

If you get some down the snow
like I am, don't worry.

You just take it right off.

We'll just take that off,
don't worry about it. See?

A little bit right in there.

Now we take our knife
and do a cabin-ectomy.

That easy. It gives the impression
of a lot of little boards.

That easy.

Now, a darker colour
and we come right in here.

There we go.

That's a little darker, not enough
light's going to hit it there.

Now, I'll show you a little trick.

Let's get us some brown
on the knife here.

And come right down here and look.

See, we had that little
roll of paint on the knife,

it's so important that you have
that little roll of paint.

Now...

..maybe...

..maybe there's a little
opening under here,

so just put dark right here.

There.

Just a little bit of dark.

Now, over in here, see,

we'll put some more boards.

Like that.

And, with our dark,

we'll continue that opening.
Isn't that neat?

Looks like there's a place
under there

the chickens could go at night.

When I was a kid, I had
all kinds of little chickens.

We'll put a post there
so it don't fall down.

The only problem -
I wasn't a very good chicken farmer.

They turned out to be my friends,
and I wouldn't kill them.

Shoot, we ended up with a bunch
of chickens and we were hungry.

But I had my buddies.

OK, I'm going to take
a little brown.

This is Van Dyke Brown,
a little of the Bright Red in it

and I've got the little knife now,

and I've cut off that little
roll of paint with the little knife.

And, over here, I just want to show

this will go in a different angle.

See, this board's going that way.

When you're doing these old
buildings, I don't know

if you can see that, maybe if I make
it a little bit lighter,

you'll see it a little better.

There. See?

When you're doing these,
you design your barn.

However you want it,
barns grow all kinds of ways.

However the old farmer
wanted to make them.

All right. Now, then, let's put some
snow around the edges here.

To do that, I'm going to dip the fan
brush right into Liquid Clear

and then go into the Titanium White.

I dipped it into the Liquid Clear to
make this paint a little thinner.

It's much thinner than
what's on the canvas.

All right.

And then we can come right
up here,

grab this...

..and pull it.

Because it's thinner,
it will lay on there,

and you can get away with doing
all kinds of things.

Just look at that.

Look at that.

The snow lives right up in here.

Now, if you were trying to put
a paint on there that was the

same thickness, you'd run into some
problems and you would yell at me.

And I want you to be happy.

I want this to work for you.

There we go.

Now then, I tell you what let's do,

let's start bringing some
little things

while I have that clear, maybe
there's a little pond right here.

You have to make some big decisions.
That's going to live right in there.

Right in there.

I'm going to take -
we'll use the two-inch brush -

a little bit of the black and blue,
I want to darken underneath

here a little bit, so it looks like
a happy little reflection or two.

And then just go across.

Just blend that in.

Want it a little bit darker.

Isn't that easy?

There we go.

Now, with our Liquid Clear
and Titanium White,

we can begin bringing all these
little things in here.

Little pond lives right out here.

See?

OK.

There's another one.

Just however many you want.

This is your little pond,
so you put them where you want them.

A little dark underneath.

Go across.

Creates that illusion of
a reflection.

And maybe...

Oh, there we go.
We'll just do it that way.

See how easy it is to make snow?

Snow can be one of the most fun
things you do.

Same old brush, I'm going to add
a touch of the black and blue.

And maybe right here there's
a little bush.

He lives right in there, like that.

And then we can pull it out.

This same idea works very well
for making little sand dunes too,

if you are ever doing
little beach scenes.

Works very nice.

OK, little Liquid White...

Put it out on the palette
and we'll just cut across it.

And we'll just put some happy little
water lines around here,

sort of clean all this up,
bring it together.

That easy.

OK. One over here.

Wherever you want them.

Now, you could even take your fan
brush and pull a little bit of white

across there, and make it look like
it's froze.

Ooh!

Getting cold, everybody.
Get your coat out.

Got to get your coat out.

OK.

Now then,

I'm going to find the liner brush,

a little bit of brown.

Maybe, maybe right in here there's
a happy little...

..little stick lives here.

Urrr!

There, we got him.

Have to make those little noises
or it don't work.

A few little sticks
and twigs here and there.

Maybe there's a couple
round the house.

This fella probably
cuts his yard a bit like I do.

And I'm the world's worst
yard keeper.

Tell you what,
let me get a fan brush here -

and I have several of these old
fan brushes going -

go right into some Van Dyke Brown.

Load the brush full of paint,
a lot of colour.

A lot of colour.
OK, let's go right up.

I know what I want to do.

Let's take the oval off now,
and I'll show you what happens.

Bring the camera right up here,
close,

and I'm going to take this
piece of contact paper off.

Look-a-here.

Look-a-here.

Isn't that fantastic?

Right there you got
a beautiful painting.

But you know me, I can't stop with
it, I got to keep piddling with it.

I get letters all the time saying,
"Bob, you had a beautiful painting,

"I thought you'd ruined it
right to the very end."

Now I want a tree.

I like to break
the boarders on these ovals.

We introduced these ovals...

..oh, three or four series' ago,

and they have become one of the most
popular things we've ever done.

I get letters
from all over the country

and pictures that people have shown
me what they have done with ovals.

And numerous other shapes,
not just ovals.

Numerous other shapes.

A little brown.

Take a little of the Titanium White.

Just touch, give it a little pull.

A little pull.

And when you're doing this at home,
try all kinds of shapes.

Place mats are a good place to get
some nice ideas for different

kind of shapes.

And you'll have a
lot of fun with them.

OK, now back to my liner brush,
and a very thin paint.

Spread paint thinner on,
it's like water.

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

..and put a little tree limb
here or something.

See?

And if this paint is very thin,
then it will literally flow.

And just put however many limbs
you want, wherever you want them.

Let some of them
come across the trunk, though.

Don't just put them
all coming straight out.

It'll look like somebody took
a big razor blade

and sliced your tree in two,
and half fell off on the floor.

See, some of these limbs
come across the tree.

Now you could put all
kinds of little tiny ones here.

I don't have...

I don't have time to put
all of them in,

cos if I go over 30 minutes...

..boy, that director yells
and screams at me.

There we go.

But that's how you do them,
right there.

OK.

Let's take our one-inch brush,
just plain old one-inch brush,

and I want to put some greenery
down, or some shrubbery down here.

Go right into the blue
and the black,

cos we need the dark in order to
show light, and just go right

in here, and just pop in all kinds
of little tree and bush shapes.

All we are doing right now is
putting in some dark

so our light will show.

That's really all we're doing.

This is just dark so our light will
stand out and just shine.

OK.

Now I'll take another one-inch
brush, dip it into the Liquid White,

and pull it through Titanium White,
and I'm going to add the least

little touch of the Bright Red, just
to give it a little pinkish flavour.

Pull it in one direction
so that it generates a curve.

Turn that curve towards the top.

Go right up here. Touch...

..and begin forming
individual little bushes.

One at a time.

Don't get in a hurry.

Do one bush at a time.

Remember, each bush
has its own personality.

Each one's a...

Each one's an individual.

They're like people.

Just however many of them you want.

However many.

And work in layers, just like with
the little trees in the background.

Tell you what...

Maybe there's a little bit of snow
laying on the ground right there.

Just let that snow break that oval.

See there? Isn't that pretty?

And you can do it.

You really can do it.

A little more of the Liquid White,
Titanium White.

A little touch of the Bright Red.

And then a little bush or two that
comes down right onto the path.

Just like so.

And, shoot...

..let's have some fun here.

Let's go right here,

and maybe there's a happy little
fence stuck down here.

See? Just take the knife,
a little brown.

Drop him in.

Decide how many
posts are on your fence.

Like that.

Put a little touch of snow
on the top of each one.

Come across, a little paint,
make some wire.

That makes a very interesting
little painting.

I think we just
about have a completed painting.

I hope you enjoy these ovals.

Try one yourself.

I know that you'll have
a lot of fun.

Until next time, happy painting.

God bless.
I look forward to seeing you again.
