All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x15 - _track3_[eng]

Hi. I'm certainly glad you could
join me today.

You got your paints out

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

I tell you what.

Let's have them graphically run all
the colours across the screen

that you need to paint along with
me.

While they're doing that, let me

tell you what I've already
gotten done up here.

We have our standard old canvas.

And I've covered it with a thin
coat of Liquid Clear.

And let me
repeat one word in there - thin.

You need the thinnest coat of this
that you can put on there.

Just a very, very small amount.

One jar of this probably last you
the rest of your life!

And let's do something a little
different today.

I'm going to start off with the old
two-inch brush.

And go into the least little
touch of phthalo blue.

We're going to make a sky with
mostly transparent colours.

Think you'll really enjoy that.

But the least, least little amount.

Let's go right up here.

Maybe we'll just put a little
touch of blue right in here.

Now when we have this Liquid Clear
underneath, colour just sparkles.

Especially this transparent colour.
So pretty.

There we go.
Just a little touch of blue.

And while I have that on the brush,
I think I'll do a...

Let's do a little winter
scene today.

So we'll have some snow down here.

So I'll just put some of these
colours right down there.

Without cleaning the brush,
I'm going to pick up the least,

least little amount
of Alizarin crimson.

And just tap it into the bristles.

Just like so.

OK.

Now then, maybe here and there,
and I'm applying very, very little

pressure, very little pressure,
just barely caress the canvas.

There. See there?

And where these colours come
together, don't fight that

and don't keep blending it,
let them come together

and it makes all
kinds of beautiful effects.

Like so.

I know.

Let's go into the least, least
little touch of the dark Sienna.

Just the least little touch.

We'll really warm the sky up.

Maybe right up in here, have a
little bit of that.

And when you're doing your painting,
pick out the colours that you like.

You don't necessarily have to use
what I've used here.

I just want to show you
how to do it.

There.

And back to the old palette.

Take a little bit of phthalo blue.
I'm going to reach up here

and grab a little, little tiny touch
of Alizarin crimson.

So we have crimson and blue.

And just mix these on the brush.

Proportionately, more
crimson than blue.

The blue is many times more
stronger.

And maybe...

..right up in here...

..we'll just put in
a little bit of that.

But don't overmix your colour.

I want this to be a very soft
but colourful sky.

Just a nice little winter day.

All of the colours that we've used
so far are very transparent.

There.

Now we can put a little bit of that
wherever you want it, down in here.

This is a good place to
clean off your brush.

OK.

Now then,

I'm going to add the least little
touch more of colour,

right up at the top. I want it
a little bit darker.

So, same colour.

Just lavender. And right up in here.

Just so there's a little
variation in colour in the sky.

Don't want it to be too light.

There.

Now let's start with titanium white.

And titanium white, as you know, is
a very opaque colour.

So I'm going to just put a little of
the white right on the brush.

And all this time,
I have yet to wash the brush.

These are the kind of paintings that
I like! I'm lazy.

I don't like to wash the brush. OK?

Now then, we can go in here

and just, here and there,

begin adding a little touch of
opaque colour.

Just...

..and angles now become very
important, if you want to

create the illusion of a sky that's
got a little bit of life in it.

Once again, don't overwork this.

Don't overwork it.
Put it in, blend it a little bit,

and leave it alone.

And we don't want to kill all these
beautiful transparent areas

that you made in here, because
they're going to make this

painting special
and you'll like them.

You'll like them.

Little bit, maybe right in here.

Let's see how that all comes
together.

And it's working with transparent
and opaque colours.

Opaque - I just mean you can't see
through it.

There.

OK.

And that easy,

you have a very effective...

..striking sky.

OK. Now we can have some fun.

As I say, we're going to do a little
winter scene today,

so let's put some little trees
back in the background

and we'll use the old round brush
for that. I like it.

It's nice for making distant trees.

Going to start out with
a little bit of black.

And reach over here
and get a little touch of the blue,

a little Van Dyke brown.
Whatever, whatever.

Dark Sienna.

We just mix them all in there.

We don't want a lot of colour
on the brush.

And tap it firmly.
Just really tap it.

See how hard the brush is bending
there? Tap firmly.

Let's go right up here.

Now then, you have to
make your first big decision.

Where does your little trees
live in your world?

Now, just take, and start tapping.

And I like to start at the base
of these trees and tap upward.

That way it's darker at the bottom
than it is at the top.

See? You can see how the brush
is bending.

And mostly using the top bristles.

And that's what creates all those
nice little fluffy,

leafy areas out here.

And all we're looking for
at this point

are just very basic little shapes.

Very basic.

These are far, far away trees.

Add a little touch
more of the dark Sienna into that.

I want a little more brownish
colour in there.

I like winter scenes that have a
little warmth in them.

So I like to use colours
that are warm.

Not just good old cold colours.

Sometimes winter scenes can be
so cold that they're distracting,

that they make you uncomfortable to
look at them,

so I normally try to add
a tiny little

bit of warmth into my winter scenes.

OK.

Now then, if you want to create
the illusion of mist,

softness at the base of this,
you can do that.

Let's do that with a two-inch brush.

Make sure your brush is nice
and dry.

And you can go up here and firmly,

using the top of the brush again,
tap.

Just tap.

And you're really
striking it quite hard.

There we go.

But all I want to do is create
mist at the base of this,

I don't want to create mist all
the way up.

Just at the base.

You can probably hear how hard
I'm striking the canvas.

OK.

Then very lightly, very lightly,

just lift upward.

Just lift upward.

And that easy, you can create
the illusion of little trees

that are far off in the distance.

They'll really work. Very nice.

Now. Let's start.

I'm going to take titanium
white on the two-inch brush.

And you have to make another
big decision now.

Where does your snow live?

Have to make a decision.

And go right up in here and you
decide where it lives.

And pull.

Just pull.

Allow it to pick up some of that
colour that you

made your trees out of.

That ends up
being shadows, being very pretty.

See how that, it just glides right
over that Liquid Clear?

OK.

Another little trick that will
really make your painting

more interesting -

maybe you want to create
the illusion of a little more

distance in here.

Put a first layer of snow
and go back. I'm just going

to use some Van Dyke brown on the
round brush and dark Sienna.

Now then.
I want to put another layer

of little bushy trees,
but come outward.

See the snow is behind that now?

Push that back and it'll create
a whole another

plane in your painting.

And you can do as many
or as few of those as you want.

The more you do, the more depth you
will have in your painting.

And then come up here.

See there?
And lay some snow under that.

And automatically now,
you have several planes in that.

Sneaky, huh?

These little things are what
makes your painting interesting.

Now down here, see right in here,

we wipe some of that
blue off our brush.

Don't kill all that.
Let it stay there. It's very pretty.

Very, very nice.

OK. Now, maybe we want to change
an angle here.

All you have to do is change
the angle of your snow.

And you can push all that back.
That easy.

Did you know that you had that much
power? That you could move snow?

And create trees?

Anything that you want.

On this piece of canvas,
you have unlimited power.

Absolutely unlimited power.

And when you're using these big
old brushes,

doesn't take but a minute
to fill it up

and to do your painting.

I used to agonise over
paintings for months.

And now... Now I just enjoy them.

But see already,

you have a nice little area here

that could be a field of snow

and be a nice place for the little
bunny rabbit to live.

Now, we can take our knife
and scrape through

and make a few little sticks
and twigs back here.

Just here and there. Don't want too
many but a few would show through.

And all you're doing is taking
the point of the knife

and scraping them in.

Wherever you think they should live.

That's where they ought to be.

OK.

Now then, with a fan brush,

you can come right up in here,

let me put a little white on there.

Grab some of this dark colour
and now then,

begin working it in here.

And just begin pulling
some of that colour down in.

I add a little colour to the
fan brush.

I want to get a little bit of that
colour into the snow.

There.

And just let it sneak back in there.

You can make all
kinds of little recesses

and just happy little places in
there. Drop them in.

OK. Now then,

I think, in my world, there's
some little trees live there,

so let's do that.

Take the number two script
liner brush,

and go right into Van Dyke brown.

And I've dipped
the brush into paint thinner

so it'll make this paint as thin
as ink. Almost like water.

See how thin?
And turn that brush

when you take it off the palette.

That'll pull it to a nice,
sharp point.

Turn it and it comes very sharp.

OK.

Now maybe, back in here,

there's all kind of happy little
trees that live.

There they go.

All kinds of little trees.

Now if you have trouble making
your paint stick, add a little bit

more of the paint thinner.

Right there.
Comes all kinds of little things.

OK.

Add a little more thinner
to my brush.

There's one.

And wherever you want them to be.

Wherever.

There.

And as many or as few as you want.

OK, now, let's skip a little space
and maybe down here, yep,

you're right!

There lives another little tree.

We don't want him
over there to get lonely.

And then we need some
limbs on that tree.

There.

See how easy those are to make?

And you can just keep on
and on and on.

You can put
a lot of detail in there.

Just hundreds of little limbs.

And just keep going until your tree
is like you want it to be.

OK. Maybe another one...

..right there.

But see, all these different
layers of trees help create

the illusion of distance.

And they really make your painting
much more interesting.

There we go.

OK.

And you can take the old fan brush
and just, sort of, clean up

these foots a little bit
and blend it right into the snow.

Add a little bit
of the Liquid Clear.

Some titanium white and maybe,
maybe we want to show,

maybe there's a little stone under
the snow right there, or something.

Something that causes a protrusion.
A bump.

See?

And that easy, you can
drop that right in.

Anywhere you use this Liquid Clear,
when it dries,

it will have a sheen to it.

It'll look like, it'll look like
it's been glazed,

so very, very nice effect.
I tell you what let's do.

Let's have a happy little barn
back here. I like that.

And one of the easiest ways is
to just take your knife, and sort

of scrape out a basic shape, to give
yourself an idea of where you

want it and lay out your perspective
and to remove any excess paint.

See, that easy.

You have a very general idea of
where you want this rascal to live.

Maybe we'll put a little shed out
here like that.

However.

Now then.

We can start off
with just titanium white.

We can sort of outline this.

Decide where you want it to live
and do it like that.

And then bring your paint in.

That's probably the easiest way
to get a nice, smooth edge there.

Sometimes when you get my age,
you get a little shaky

and you need all
the help you can get!

There.

Now then.

We want a corresponding
angle on the other side

because there'd be snow on the
other, on the other roof.

See? Like so.

Bring it right down.

Now then, we need to put some
boards on that old barn.

Use some Van Dyke brown,
touch of dark Sienna.

Pull it out very flat,
flat as you can get it.

And cut you off
a little roll of paint,

right on the edge of the knife.

Now we can go in here.
And we create the overhang.

If a little of that white
gets in there,

it makes it look like little boards.

And then,
you have to decide how tall he is.

You have to make all kinds
of big decisions.

There he goes.

See there?

That easy.

OK. Now then.
We have the other side over here.

Like that.

OK. And we said there was going to
be a little shed on this barn.

So just take the white.

And come right out, like so.

There he goes.

There. And once again, we need some
boards underneath there.

Let me clean off my knife.

And we'll put some sides
and a front,

right on the little shed.

OK. Now, with the knife, you can
take and clean up the bottom of it.

You have to make a decision
here, where you want it to be.

I think we're going to have a
little snow bank that comes around,

like that.

Now then. Take a little dark Sienna,
some white.

Mix them together.

Cut off that little roll
of paint again.

OK. Now then.

Let's just go up here and sort
of touch, give it a little pull,

just a little sidewards pull.

Make it look like old boards.

And leave some cracks.
This is an old barn.

It's old and it's tired

and winter's been rough on it.

OK? And then we can come right
along here. Just drop them in.

Now the other side,
we just add some Van Dyke brown

and make this side much darker.
Much darker.

And then once again, you just take
your knife and do a cabinectomy!

You just take
off whatever you don't want!

OK. Now, we need a way to get into
this old barn

so let's build us a door.

Just straight old Van Dyke brown,

decide where the door is going to be
and just pull it down.

See there?

That easy.

That easy.
You've got a door now.

Take a touch of white, maybe there
is a little white right around here.

Firm up your edges.

Little bit of dark.
Just Van Dyke brown.

You're going to really increase
the illusion of old boards here,

just by touching.

And we'll take off
all that excess paint.

Now. Back to our fan brush.

We'll dip into the Liquid Clear

and titanium white. Load the brush
full of paint. A lot of paint.

OK.

Now then.

Just bring some snow
right down there.

Like that.

And some right along this
little side here.

Now, over here, try to pick up
a little bit of that dark

so we can create the illusion of
a shadow.

We want a shadow over here.

Now then,
we can just bring all this together.

Winter scenes are very nice
and they're very easy to paint.

This Liquid Clear, you'll find,
is fantastic for doing snow.

Or sand dunes, sand dunes are done
basically the same way.

OK. Let's go back to the liner
brush here

and I'll go right back into
some Van Dyke brown.

Thin the paint down.

Maybe there's a happy little fence.

That's right there.

And all you have to do,

we'll let it go right over.

Like that.

See? And all you've got to do there
is just put a few little rails

in there.

But let it get smaller and smaller
as it goes off in the distance.

Maybe it comes down here.

And it will help give the illusion
of distance to your fence.

OK. Then we can put a little bit of
snow around these foots.

That easy.

OK.

Now then, I've got several fan
brushes going. I'm going to take

a little bit of the brown.

And maybe somewhere in here,

maybe there's some patches
where the snow has sort of melted.

And you can see a little bit of dirt
here and there.

Just wherever.

And also, maybe here

and there there's a happy little
bush that's still there.

It's all dead
but it's poking up out of the snow.

This old farmer,
he took care of his land like I do.

He's not a good grass cutter.

Maybe there's some more right in
here, wherever you want them.

Wherever you want them.

Just push upward on the fan brush.

This is just Van Dyke brown
and dark Sienna.

So much fun
let's put some over here.

Maybe there's one back in there.

Just sort of let it follow
the lay of the land.

And... shoot.

You can get carried away with these.
They are a lot of fun!

I'll put one here, too.

Now then.

With our fan brush that has
the Liquid Clear

and the titanium white on it...

..we can go right up in here.

And grab a hold of these.

And work them.

Blend them out.

Just bring everything together.

Like so.

See how easy that is?

And it really just sort of brings
everything together.

Cleans up the bottoms of all these
little grassy areas.

And makes your painting
so much more interesting.

OK. A little bit right in there.

OK.

Back to my liner brush.

And we'll go right into the Van
Dyke brown again.

Just load the brush full and let's
have, maybe there's a happy

little tree that lives over here.

We don't want this side left out.

Wherever.

In your world, you put
as many or as few trees as you want.

Wherever you want them.

Wherever.

I tell you what, let's do...
Sort of look at it and decide.

There's another tree.
Lives right there.

He's a little bigger
because he's closer to you.

And drop in a few little limbs.

Branches.

Little arms on the tree.

Got to give him,
got to give him some arms!

Little birds have
to have a place to sit.

There.

There we go.

Little more of the thinner.

And you can put a couple of little
ones here and there.

OK.

Shoot, them trees are so
much fun. Let's get crazy.

I'll take the old fan brush here,
go right into a big

bunch of the Van Dyke brown,
really load that brush full.

Let's come right about...

..here.

Zooom!

We are going to check you
out for bravery today!

Let's just drop one right in there

and maybe he's got
a little friend...

..that lives right here beside him.

That was your bravery test!

Sometimes it's hard to get up
and have nerve to drop in a big

tree right over everything
that you've painted.

But do it. Just enjoy it.

But in your painting,
if you don't want a tree there,

don't put one there.

Just want to give you some options.

There we go. We'll make this one
look like an old birch tree.

Now, I've mentioned in other shows,

if I paint trees that are not like
the trees in your area, change them.

Make them so they look like the
trees that live where you do.

OK.

Back to our liner brush.

Right into some Van Dyke brown.

And let's put some happy little
limbs out here on this tree.

Thin paint.

Lot of thinner in there.

See how easy those are?

They just sort of flow
right on there.

And you have to decide which tree's
in front and which one's behind.

All these big decisions.

And have some of the branches
come across the trunk.

You don't want them just all
coming out from the side.

Let's some of them come right across
the trunk.

That will help give your tree more
dimension, more shape.

Much more pleasing
when it's finished.

And it'll make you happier.

And I really want these
paintings to make you happy.

And I want you to enjoy
painting along with us.

We get so many cards

and letters from people all over
the country that are experiencing

fantastic success.

And that makes it all worthwhile.

There we go.

See? Just as many or as few as you
want. Wherever you want them.

And that really gives dimension
to your painting

and helps push everything back.

Put a few little things living
right in here.

See? However many.

Might take a little bit of red
and we'll sign this painting.

I think it's about finished.

And I hope you've enjoyed it.

It's been a lot of fun
painting with you today.

Give this Liquid Clear a try.

And from all of us here,

I'd like to wish you happy painting,

God bless,
and we'll see you next time.
