All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x19 - _track3_[eng]

Hello, I'm Bob Ross,

and I'd like to welcome you to
the 12th Joy Of Painting series.

First of all, let me thank you
for inviting me

back into your homes for
another series of painting shows.

If this is your first time
with us, let me extend

a personal invitation for you
to drag out your oil paints

and brushes and paint along with us
each week,

or just pull up the old easy chair
and spend a relaxing half hour

with us as we place some
of nature's masterpieces on canvas.

We will use a few big brushes,
a dozen colours or so,

and I'll show you how easy it is
to create some of the most

fantastic paintings
you've ever seen.

I'll take you step by step
through each phase of the painting,

so you'll be able to create
your own masterpieces at home.

So I tell you what, let's go on up
to the canvas here and get started.

Now, I've already covered
the canvas with a thin,

even coat of the liquid white

and the liquid white just makes
the canvas wet and it makes it slick

and it allows us to actually
blend colour on the canvas.

So, let's have them run all
the colours across the screen

that you will need to paint
this painting with me,

and they'll come across in
the same order that I have them

on my palate, starting with the
titanium white and working around.

I tell you what, while they're doing
that, let's go on up here

and get started.

Today, let's start
with the old two-inch brush

and we'll go into a little touch
of dark sienna, and I think I'll

just do a warm little painting today
that uses mostly browns.

Sort of a monochromatic type
picture. I think you'll like that.

Just a tiny bit of the brown.

A little dark sienna right
on the brush, just a little bit,

just go right up here.

Now we use little
crisscross strokes.

And let's just put in a happy little
sky. I want a very, very soft...

..very pretty little sky.
This is a simple little painting.

If this is your first time
painting along with us,

I think you'll like this one.

I think you'll like this one.

Because it works so easy and even if
you've never painted before,

this one you can do.

There we go. Just make little
crisscross strokes, little Xs.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

Now, the colour is continually
mixing with the liquid white

and it gets lighter and lighter
and lighter as you blend it.

And in a landscape, you want things
to get lighter

toward the horizon and darker
as they get closer to you.

And that helps create the illusion
of distance in your painting.

There we go. See how easy that is?

OK.

And, you make it as dark
as you want it.

As I say over and over again,
this piece of canvas is your world

and you can do anything here
that you want to do.

You have unlimited power.

Boy, when I go home, the only thing
I can say is "Yes, ma'am,"

but on this piece of canvas, you can
do anything that you want to do.

All right.

And we'll just bring it right on
down here,

wherever you want, wherever.

OK, then I just use long horizontal
strokes, just to blend it out.

Like so.

OK, that makes a super,
super soft little sky.

Now then, right up here I'm going
to have a little sun in this.

I'm going to go right into
a small touch of cad yellow

and this is cadmium yellow and just
a little tiny bit, just the same

old dirty brush, just tap a little
touch of that right on the brush.

Let's go right up here.

And maybe right in here
we'll just...

Still using those little
crisscross strokes, working outward,

blending outward, just put in
a little touch of this yellow.

Just like so.
We'll put a little sun up in the sky

and this will be the aura
around the sun.

And very lightly blend it out.

Now then...

Now then, we can put a sun in here.

I tell you what, for that,
let's use the almighty finger here

and I'll just put a little paint
on my finger and right here,

figure out where you want the sun
to be.

All you have to do is just draw
a little circle, like so.

See, isn't that easy? Now then...

Very lightly,
three hairs and some air,

just blend right over that
and it'll bring it all together.

That easy, that easy,
you have a happy little sun.

I tell you what,
let's put a little cloud up here

and for that I'll use
a little fan brush,

just a number six fan brush.

We'll just tap a little of the dark
sienna on there, same colour.

OK, let's go right up here.

Maybe, maybe,
maybe right there it is.

Right here,
there's a happy little cloud

and I'm still using the same colour
that the sky was.

Just drop in a little cloud,

just sort of let it float around
and have fun.

Clouds are one of the freest
things in nature.

They just sort of... They just sort

of bounce around and have fun all
day.

Maybe there's one right here.

Be brave. We'll let this one come
right on out, go right across there.

See there.

Just like so.

Maybe, maybe there's another one
here, just to however many you want.

Just make a big decision
and drop him in.

But you see how easy they are?
Making tiny little circular strokes.

OK.

Then we'll go back
to our large brush.

And very gently, I'm just going
to blend that a little bit,

fluff it.

And that easy, that easy,
you've got a happy little cloud.

Right there, blend it. I'm blending
the base more than I am the top.

And then very lightly go over it.

See, that easy, you have
a happy little cloud in your sky

and you're all ready. Now, you can
do this in any colour that you want.

I've just sort of picked browns
today

because that's a very nice,
warm colour.

I'm going to go back into a little
touch of the dark sienna,

same old colour, and just tapping
the brush right into it.

Maybe, maybe way back
in the distance there,

some little foothills live.

Just take the corner of the brush

and very lightly touch the canvas
and pull downward.

Just pull it straight down.

Straight down.

Now, put several layers in this one,
I think.

So, the first one you want to
be very light

and then each layer after that
will get darker and darker.

See there, straight down,
that's all there is to it.

Just sort of let it disappear.

Now, the same colour, same colour,
only we'll make it

a little bit darker
but it's the same exact colour.

Maybe now there's a little footyhill
that lives right here.

Here I'm going to add
a little bit more pressure

to the brush
so it's just a little bit darker.

And this one maybe comes
right on down.

Wherever you want it.

Wherever.

Just wherever you think
these little foothills live.

See how easy this is?

You really can do it,
even if you've never painted before,

never picked up a brush.

You really can do this.

So, let me show you a little trick,
a little trick here.

Maybe you want to create
the illusion that

there's several layers here.

All you have to do is grab this,
same colour still...

..and you can come
right on down and makes

the indication like there's
another little foothill in front.

You can make layer after layer
after layer.

That easy.

There we go.

OK. Now maybe right under here I'm
just going to take some straight...

..straight titanium white.
Now, I've picked up a clean brush.

I have several brushes going here
so I don't have to wash them

each time I use them.

And maybe right in here,
I'm just going to pull down...

Make it look like maybe
just a little body of water

way back in the distance here.

Straight down.

Straight down and then go across.

It won't show too much now,
but in a minute, in a minute,

you'll see why that's there.
I think it'll be pretty.

And I'll take a little touch
of the brown on the knife

and let's just go right up in here.

And we'll make the indication
of a happy little ripple

here and there and maybe a little
something right along in here.

Just scrub it in very hard.

That's all there is to it.

OK. Now then...

Back to the same old dark sienna,
but this time I'm going to pick up

a touch of the Van Dyke brown
and mix it in with it.

And just mix these on the brush.

Don't worry about trying to mix them
on the palette,

just reach over here
and take a little of that

and put it in there so we have
dark sienna and Van Dyke brown.

Just tap it on the brush.
OK, let's go right up in here.

Now maybe, maybe there lives a hill
right here, a little hill.

Comes right down...

..just wanders right on down.

Boy, he sure does now.

See there? And all you're doing
is just tapping this in.

There we go.

Now, this is where you begin to
create the lay of the land,

just sort of decide
how your land is going to...

How the angles are going to flow
here and begin tapping,

following those basic angles,

and all you're doing here
is just applying some base colour.

We'll come back and highlight this.

This is only base colour,
so don't worry about it.

You really cannot make
a mistake here.

And, as you know, we don't make
mistakes, we have happy accidents!

We just have happy accidents.

And very quickly,
very quickly you learn how to...

How to work with anything
that happens on canvas.

And that's really when you begin
experiencing the joy of painting.

Getting in a little plug there!

So, you can start down here
and maybe work upwards,

whichever way, it doesn't matter.

This is where you take out all
your frustrations and hostilities.

You just really... You just beat
this old canvas to death.

And I'm tapping quite firmly here.

Once again, all we're doing
is putting in a base colour.

We couldn't really care less.

There.

OK.

You can see, already it's beginning
to show the way the land flows here.

There.

OK. Just keep following
those basic angles that you want.

And let them go, let them go,
let them go.

There.

OK. And that quick,
you pretty well get it filled in.

OK. Now maybe...

Tell you what...

Get my old fan brush again.
I'm going to go right into...

..the Van Dyke brown, grab a little
bit of the dark sienna.

Mostly van Dyke brown. I'm looking
for a little darker colour now.

And maybe here and there
there's a happy little tree

that lives back here.

So, we just take
the corner of the brush,

and I'm just going to give it
a little upward push.

And this is one way of making
just a happy little tree.

And all we're doing now is just
putting in a little basic shape.

Just decide how you want
your little tree, your bush to look

and just sort of push it in.
That's all there is to it.

That's all there is to it.
Maybe... I tell you what...

Maybe there's another one
and he lives right here.

Same way,
just sort of push him in.

There. Decide where you want him.
Drop him in.

Right there.

OK. Maybe he's got a friend
right here.

Don't want him to get lonely.

Everybody needs a friend,
even a little tree.

So, we'll just put him in
a little tree, right there.

A little bush.

But see how easy that is?

I'm pushing upward with the brush
to create all those little...

Little grassy effects there.

OK.

Now then...

Let's use our one little brush.

This is the little
script liner brush

and I'm just going to dip it
right into some paint thinner,

and I want to thin this paint
until it's like ink.

A lot of paint thinner,
and then turn the brush, turn it,

brings it to a very sharp point.

This is a script liner brush.
It has very long bristles.

OK, let's go up here.

Maybe, maybe here and there,

there's a happy little tree
that lives in here.

So, by having very thin paint here,
on your brush,

this will literally just flow.

See how we can put in all these
little delicate looking limbs

and branches?
See how easy that is?

But you have to decide
where they live and put them

wherever you want them.

There's another one. See there?

Boy, you can just make all kinds
of happy little things that easy.

See there? Some are behind,
some are in front.

These little things
are what create...

They create interest
in your painting.

And of course, we're not
interested in that happy buck,

but if you're out selling paintings,
this is what sells your paintings,

all these little details -
people like that.

They think you've spent
hours and hours

and maybe even weeks
working on this rascal!

Don't you tell them any different.
That's our secret!

There we go.

OK. Now, maybe we want to put
the indication of a little highlight

here and there.
I'll use that same fan brush

and put just a touch of the
yellow ochre on it, just a touch.

And we can go up here and we just
pop in an indication of

a few little highlights here and
there on some of those bushes.

Just a few.
I don't want this to be too bright.

See.

And a little bit up here.

Don't want this little bush to get
upset because he doesn't have

any highlights,
so we'll give him some too.

Then we can just begin putting
in a little a few little things

back in here.

There we go.

OK.

Now, maybe, maybe we want to have
a little tree or two

that's in front,
distinctly in front here.

So, after you have your highlight,
then you come back

and put in another one.

And once again, in your world,

you put as many or as few
of these as you want.

I just want to show you how.

We're not trying to teach you to
copy when we bring you these shows.

We try to teach you a technique
and turn you loose on the world,

because we each see nature
through different eyes.

The way that you see it,
that's the way it should be painted,

that's the way it's right.

OK. Maybe one over here...

There.

You can get carried away with these
and just spend your whole,

your whole time just painting happy
little tree branches and stuff.

OK.
That's enough of those for a while.

Shoot, let's have some fun here.
I'll go into a little of the...

..cad yellow, a little yellow ochre.

Shoot, we'll grab some Indian
yellow, just sort of mix them up

on the brush and
we'll be right back,

reach up here and get
a touch of white.

Titanium white.

Just tap it, OK. Now maybe...

Right up in here,

we can begin adding just a little
touch of highlight on this.

And all I'm doing
is just tapping downward.

Just tapping downward.

Now, if you have trouble
making your paint stick,

add a tiny bit of paint thinner,
or the liquid white, either one.

Because we start with
a very firm base colour here,

the paint that's on the canvas
is very firm, it's very dry.

So, that way, we can add layer after
layer of paint on top of it

without becoming a mud mixer.
But the only way you can do that is

if each layer gets
thinner in consistency.

If it's the same consistency, then
you're going to become a mud mixer,

then you're going to be mad at me!

And I want this to work for you,
because it's fun.

There, see.

And you can really begin creating
the lay of the land now.

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

this is the perfect place
to have a happy little house.

Let's take the knife here.

Take some Van Dyke brown, pull it
out very flat, take the knife...

..and cut across.

So you have that little
roll of paint right out there.

Just go up here. Maybe there's
a little house and it lives...

..right there.
So we'll put part of the roof on.

Come over on this side.

Put the other part on.
See how easy that is?

Put the side.

Or the front, depending on
which way you're looking at it.

Come over here. All I'm doing now is
just blocking in colour.

We're just blocking in colour.

See how easy it is
to block in a happy little house?

Now, we'll take some dark sienna
and a little bit of Van Dyke,

reach over here and get some white.

And we'll just mix that up
to about like so.

We don't want to overmix it.
Just leave it sort of marbled

and then cut across and get that
little roll of paint again.

It's most important
you load the knife correctly.

And let's go up here.

And we'll just touch, and just let
this run right down the roof.

Plu, plu, plu, plu, plu.

See there? Got to make those little
noises or it don't work!

OK, maybe a...

..little bit there.

Over here. Grab it. Pull down.

You want this side to be
a little darker than that one

because there's your light source.

So, a little darker colour here.

But just put it down,
let it barely, barely,

barely touch the fabric,
and it makes it look like old wood.

OK, just barely touch it.

There we go.

Now, you can take the knife here
and cut it off.

You can do a cabin-ectomy!
See here.

You can just cut it off
any way that you want it.

To get your perspective right
and everything.

And that easy,
you got a cute little cabin.

Let me get the small knife here.

Maybe there's a couple of
little windows over here.

Just take the little knife...

Just creep in a couple of
happy little windows.

Take a little of
the midnight black.

Put those in.

Shoot, maybe over here
there's a window too.

However many windows you want.

Just up to you.

That's how easy it is to make
a little cabin now.

See? At home,
when you have a lot of time, you can

put little curtains in the window
and just all kinds of things.

All right, now...

Take the old two-inch brush here,

and I'll just tap in a little bit

of the grassy stuff around his
foots.

See, bring it all together.

And your little cabin's just
sitting right out there.

A little touch of white.

I just want to... I want to
highlight this a little bit

so it stands out
and you can see it better.

Just a little touch of highlight
right down there,

make that edge stand out

and just looks a little cuter,
just really stands out for you.

I tell you what...

Let's take the old fan brush here.

I'm going to dip it right into
some liquid white and we'll go

into the different yellows,
all the yellows, all the yellows.

Grab a little touch of dark sienna,

throw it in there,
just load the brush full.

A little white.

OK. But we've got cad yellow,
Indian yellow, yellow ochre,

all in the same brush
and a lot of paint, OK?

So, let's go up in here.

Now then, we can begin
just coming along in here

and putting in some
happy little grassy things.

Follow the lay of the land.

Just let it go.

Just work in layers.

You can do it like this or you can
do it with a two-inch brush,

one-inch brush, try them all, see
which one works the best for you.

Like so.

Just layer after layer
after layer, though.

There.

See how easy that is?
It looks like a little field.

I tell you what,
I tell you what let's do...

I'm going to take, go right in
to some Van Dyke brown here,

maybe right up in through here,
maybe there's just a...

..happy little path.
Comes right out...

Comes right out, there it comes,
there it comes.

Van Dyke brown on the fan brush.

Let that path come right out there.
See how easy that is?

Just disappears somewhere on
back in here.

We don't know where it goes.

Wherever you want it to go.

Pick up a touch of the white.

And just very lightly graze
here and there, just graze it.

Just graze it darker and darker,
back up right there.

See, right on out round the corner.

Put a little paint thinner
on this big brush.

And we'll go back into
all my yellows here,

grab a little of the white.

OK, now then...

So, you can do it with a fan brush
or this brush, whichever one.

Try them both,
try tapping with this.

Sometimes you'll find that works
better, sometimes you find

that for some people,
the old fan brush works better.

So, whichever way.

Whichever way.

But you can just put layer
after layer after layer.

Start with the part that's furthest
away and work forward.

There.

See there? Just keep going.

OK, and then over in here.

Bring this right on down.

I've showed you
several different ways

you can make these little grassy
things. Try them all.

Once again, sometimes the fan brush
will work better for some people.

Some people will like
the two-inch brush better.

The one-inch brush works very well.

Give them all a try.

Get the effect that you want.

There we go.

OK.

Now then, let me take...

Here I've got a little bit
right in here,

so we'll just take our fan brush
and just clean up the edges.

See, that easy.

I tell you what we need here.
Let's build this up.

Let's build us a tree. I'm going
to start with van Dyke brown.

Pull it out flat, cut across and
we get that little roll of paint.

Maybe our tree is going to
live right, oh,

right over our other three.

That's OK.

That's OK. Maybe he lives
right there. See there?

Build him a trunk.
Maybe he's got an arm.

He lives right out through here.

Wherever you want him.

Trees grow however.

Put the other side on.

Just like so.

See how easy it is to make a tree?

Only God can create a tree
but you can paint one.

OK.

A little bit of white and brown.
And...

Let's put a little highlight on this
tree, just touching, just touching.

Just touching. Like so.

A little bit on this arm.

There we go.

Now then. Let's go back
to our script liner brush.

We'll take paint thinner,
thin our paint out. I'm going

to put little black and a little
brown together, make them dark.

But you need a lot of paint
thinner on your brush

to make this paint just like ink.
It's almost a water consistency.

All right, now then,
let's make some big decisions here.

Maybe there's a...

There it is.
A big arm that comes out over here.

Maybe this one goes up and...

See there? However you want them.

However you want them.

Just... There's another one.

See, maybe here.
There's another big old arm.

Comes right out.

Now, if your paint will not flow
like this, add more thinner to it.

If it doesn't flow, it's just
because it's not thin enough.

So just add some more thinner.

Just add some more.

See how easy that is?

If your paint's
the right consistency,

it'll just flow
right off your brush.

And this liner brush has
very long bristles,

so it holds a lot of paint.

And you can just pop them
little rascals right on in there.

Like that.

There. Mmm.

OK, here's one.

And you can really take your time

and put just hundreds of all these
little limbs on here.

It'll make your painting
very interesting, very nice.

Just wherever you think
they should live,

that's exactly
where they should live.

OK, I tell you what...

Let's put a little...

Maybe there's a little fence post
sitting right here.

See, right there?
Just touch, give it a little pull.

Like so.

A little touch of highlight on it.
Like that.

We take that same old liner brush.

Maybe there's a little bit of wire
on there.

See, just a tiny little bit of wire
hanging on that rascal.

And I think with that we about have
our finished painting.

So, let's sign this one.
I'll take a little red.

Thin it down with paint thinner.

And we'll sign this one
right down here in the corner.

I certainly hope you've enjoyed
this one.

Some very easy painting.

As I say, if this is your first time
painting along with us,

this is a good painting to do.

You'll have instant success.

And from all of us here,
I'd like to wish you happy painting,

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