Welcome back.
I'm so glad to see you again.

Today I thought we'd do something
that's mainly in browns

and maybe we'll do,
maybe we'll do a scene

where you're standing
on a cliff right here

looking way off in the distance
and you can see all kinds

of little beautiful things
happening far, far away.

So I've already covered the canvas
with magic white in order

to save a little time
and let's start off here.

We're going to take just a tiny,
tiny little bit of crimson.

This is alizarin crimson.

Put it on the big brush and really
beat it into the bristles.

This assures a nice, even
distribution of colour

throughout the bristles.

We'll come right down in here
and just very gently making

little Xs, begin putting in
a little of the crimson here.

Now, when you are doing this at
home, don't use too much crimson.

It will look like your sky's on fire

and we just want to put
a little pinkish glow.

We don't want to set it on fire.

There we go.

Maybe we'll do a little bit
back and forth like so.

OK. Then we'll go right into
a little bit of burnt umber

without washing the brush.

We'll allow the crimson
to mix with the burnt umber.

And right above it...

..a little bit of the umber.

There we are.

We'll blend all this together
in just a second.

A little bit more of the umber

and maybe we'll come from
the outside inward here.

And just put a little bit of colour
down the bottom of the canvas.

Try to keep these lines pretty
straight when you come across.

This will end up being
a little bit of water down here.

There we go.

Now, I'm going to go right
into the Van Dyke brown.

Still have not washed the brush.

And right across the top here,
a little bit of the Van Dyke brown.

Just like so.

Now. Now, we can finally
wash the brush.

Well, let's add a little bit
of the brown down here, too.

Keep the colour the same
on top and bottom.

Then we can wash the brush.

OK. We wash our brushes
with odourless paint thinner

and there's a screen in the bottom
of the can here

and you scrub the brush
against the screen

to remove the paint
and shake off the excess thinner.

And then just beat
the devil out of it. OK.

Now we can blend all this together.

Clean, dry brush.

Just bring it all together.

And I'm still making the little
crisscross strokes,

little X strokes,
whatever you want to call them.

There we go.

Very gently hypnotising.

Now, let's take a little bit
of the burnt umber,

a little bit of Van Dyke brown and a
little crimson in about equal parts.

Just mix them all together.

Maybe a touch more crimson.

There.

And now, let's go right up in here

and just put some happy
little clouds up in the sky.

I'm pushing very hard
with the knife.

Really push the paint
into the canvas.

And we're using very,
very little paint.

Very little paint.

Maybe there's a little cloud that
goes right off the canvas here.

It just sort of wanders
around in the sky.

And maybe a little one right here.

Just wherever you think there
should be a cloud, just drop it in.

Now, we'll take the large brush
and following these angles,

very carefully, just blend across.

Isn't that a super way
to make little clouds?

Just little stringy clouds
out here in the sky.

OK.

Now let's use the fan brush today

and do something
a little bit different.

The same colour as the clouds.

This is just the burnt umber,
Van Dyke brown,

a little bit of alizarin crimson.

And let's go right up in here

and just lay in a basic little
mountain shape with the fan brush.

Very basic.

I'll show you how to do very simple
little mountains today.

These you'll love.

And we just gently
pull down a little bit.

You want these mountains to be
far, far away. Far away.

So we're not looking for
a lot of detail in them.

There we go.

Now, with our large brush again,
we're going to grab this

and pull downward.

Just pull it downward.

And very gently
we can blend all this together.

We want this mountain to be
very soft and very far away.

By using brushstrokes here,

you can give the impression
that there's highlights

and shadows in the mountain without
actually doing hardly a thing.

Just change the brushstrokes
in a few places.

OK. That gives us
the impression of a nice,

soft little mountain
that's far, far away.

OK, let's play with some
little clouds here.

We'll have some clouds that are
floating right over the mountain.

I'm going to add a tiny bit of
magic white to titanium white

just to thin it down
a small, small amount.

Because once again, a thin paint
will stick to a thick paint.

So we're thinning the paint
down here just a little bit

so we can make it stick
on this thicker paint.

Let's go right up in here

and let's just start dropping
some happy little clouds in here.

Just the corner of the fan brush.

Keep that brush moving, turn it.

Little tiny circles. Maybe it
just floats right out like that.

There we go.

And at this point,

the only thing we're worried about
is a nice top edge on these clouds.

We couldn't care less
what's happening underneath.

Maybe, maybe, maybe... There it is.

I knew there was one over here,
we just had to find it.

Just let this one just sort of
drift right across the mountain.

And clouds are one of the
freest things in nature.

They just sort of go
where they please.

Now, with a large brush,
very gently,

we're going to blend out
the bottom of the cloud.

Very gently. Very gently.

This paint is quite thin,

so you don't have as much blending
ability as you normally would.

Then we'll hypnotise it.

Gently. Just touching it.

We don't want to destroy,

we just want to soften it and
blend it so it floats back here.

And you can put as many layers
of these little clouds

in here that you want.

Maybe in your world, there's another
little cloud that lives right here

and just sort of floats around
the bottom of the mountain.

You have to make these
almighty decisions.

OK. Then we'll gently blend
the bottom of this one out

and I'm just using
the corner of the large brush.

Fluff it up a little bit.

And then very gently, very gently.

OK.

We'll mix up some more
colour here.

We'll take some more of the
burnt umber and Van Dyke brown

and crimson and put it all together.

And then I'm going to take
a little bit of white.

And just dilute some of it here.

Maybe I want a tiny bit more
into the Van Dyke brown.

So you just add a little bit
more to it.

There's what we're looking for.
A nice colour.

Now, we'll use a one-inch brush.

And we're going to make some little
foothills that are far, far away.

Far away.

There.

And maybe, maybe let's go right
up in here

and with just the corner
of the brush,

we're just going to
put some little indications here

of some foothills that are way
back in the distance.

Super quiet little hills.

Just barely can see them
laying back here in the mist.

And I'm just pulling straight down.

Just sort of let them disappear.

Just like so.

With a large brush I'll gently
lift upward a little bit.

Just to soften the bottom even more
to make it look like mist.

And maybe...

Maybe, maybe in your world,
right here,

maybe there's another
little layer of foothills.

We'll make a lot of distance
in this painting,

so we can just play with foothills.

You need this little misty area
in between them to separate them.

Don't kill all that.

You knew that.

You just wanted to see if I did.

There we go.

You don't want much
detail back here.

It's too far away
to have detail yet.

OK. Then with a large brush we can
just gently lift upward again

just to soften the bottom.

And who knows, who knows,
maybe there's another little cloud,

a little misty area that just
floats down right in here.

Just the corner of the fan brush.

This is titanium white with a
small amount of magic white in it.

Then with a large brush,
we blend the bottom of it out.

Fluff it up just like we did before.

Then very gently, just blend it.

OK.

Now, we're going to have several
ranges of foothills on this painting

so as you come forward,
each layer of foothills should get

a little bit darker in colour,
a little darker in value

and that's what helps create the
illusion of distance in a painting.

So to the same colour,

I'm going to add a little bit
more of the Van Dyke brown,

just to dull it down
a little bit more.

Don't let it get too dark too soon

because we're going to put
several layers in here.

Now, maybe right in here...

..maybe there's another little
foothill that comes right down.

Just like so.

Just let it wander around.

There we go. Just letting it wander.

Maybe... Maybe right there.
There we go.

And when you start these
paintings at home,

don't worry about having
an exact image in your mind

of what you're going to paint.

Just start painting
and see what happens.

As you paint, you'll see all kinds
of things happening on your canvas

and very soon you learn to use

all these beautiful
little things that happen.

I think in one of the earlier
shows I mentioned,

we don't make mistakes,
we have happy accidents.

We learn to use anything
that can happen.

Anything that can happen.

That's when it really becomes fun.

OK, we'll gently lift upward here
just to create a little mist.

Now, I'm going
to take the large brush

and go right into the same colour.

Touch and pull gently downward.
Just gently downward.

Start making a little
reflection back here.

Very gentle.

Like so.

And then go across.

Now, we'll take a little
bit of the magic white

and add the same colour
to the magic white.

I'm just using the magic white
to thin the paint and we can go

right back in here and begin
laying in some little water lines.

A little, tiny bit
of plant on the knife

and push very hard into the canvas.

You're literally just
cutting these lines in.

OK.

Now, then, let's come forward again.

I'm going back into
the Van Dyke brown

and right back into the same
original colour,

just to make it a little bit darker.

There we go.

Now maybe, right over here,

maybe there's a nice foothill here
that just comes right on down.

You see this colour is quite
a bit darker, so it stands out

and makes things look closer.

And we can just put layer
after layer after layer

of beautiful foothills
and make all kinds of things happen.

Recently, we did some
classes in North Carolina.

Oh, that's God's country.
It is so pretty.

And they have so many
of the little hills...

..that just layer
after layer after layer.

Sometimes these get to be so much
fun, you don't know when to stop.

You just keep going.

Now, then,
once again with a large brush,

this time I'm going
to tap it a little bit.

I really want to diffuse this one.

Really want to diffuse it.

Then lift slightly upward.

And maybe take just a tiny,
tiny little bit

of yellow ochre on the brush.

Just a tiny, tiny little bit.

A very small amount.

We'll just lay some
little areas in between here.

Very gentle. Just lifting upward.

And then we can come back in here
and maybe put some more foothills.

Are you tired of foothills yet?

This will really teach you
how to make them.

After you do this painting,

you'll probably never again have
problems making little foothills.

There.

Maybe we'll just let this one
wander right out through here.

Then we'll go back. I still have
a little ochre left on here.

And maybe just blend
a little bit of that in.

And we can go right underneath it
and lay in a nice little reflection.

Just pulling straight down.

Just use the corner of the brush
and do a little bit right in there.

There.

Straight down and gently,
gently come across.

Just enough to give it
a watery appearance.

Now, a little bit more
of the magic white

and a little bit of the same
colour mixed into it

and we can begin putting some
beautiful little water lines...

..right back in here.

Just let them follow the general
contour of the land here.

Once again, we're
really pushing quite hard.

We really want to push
this paint into the canvas.

Like so.

Maybe we'll sneak over here and add
a little bit more of the brown,

a little more umber.

It's getting quite dark now.

And maybe we'll put another
little foothill right here.

There we go.

Maybe it just drops right down
like so.

There we are.

And we'll take a little bit
more of the yellow ochre,

the tiniest, tiniest little bit.

Just enough to change the colour
scheme a little.

Drop a little of that in there.

Very soft.

And maybe there's a few little more
foothills. Little trees, far away.

Far, far away.

Sometimes I like to do paintings
when I'm painting at home

that are so soft,
they almost look like pastels.

And you can do it.

We use a little brighter colour
than normal on TV

so you can see it well,
but at home you can use any colour,

any value of colour.

It can be very quiet, very peaceful.

OK. Now, let's just pull
that down a little bit.

Just like so.

And very gently go across.

And once again,
we're ready for a water line.

We'll come right along in here.

And just lay in some happy little
water lines. Just let them go.

OK. Now we can begin playing
a little bit in the foreground.

I'm going to go right
into the Van Dyke brown,

right into the brown,

and maybe, as we said, there
was going to be a nice, big,

high overhang here
that we were standing up

looking down into the valley.

So we'll just bring that
right across.

Just bring it right on across here.
A lot of paint. It's very dark.

We really want this
to be contrasting.

There.

OK, now we can take a little
bit of the brown, a little white.

Make us a nice little
highlight colour here.

And let's just lay some happy
little highlights on top of this.

Make it look like stones and rocks.

There we go.

Now, maybe out here
on this old cliff,

maybe there's one old tree
that's trying to make it,

so let's start right here
with just Van Dyke brown

and let's put a set of basic,
very basic tree shapes.

We'll just let this
old tree wander around.

Trees just grow however
it makes them happy.

So there's really no right or wrong.

We have basic shapes, but other
than that, just enjoy and have fun.

There we go.

Just let that tree just wander
right on up through the sky.

When you have to make
these big decisions,

maybe he's got another limb
that comes right up through here.

Just let it travel wherever.

There we go. And we're using just
a small roll of paint on the knife.

Just a very, very
small roll of paint.

And let's put some limbs here,
just at random,

wherever you think
there might ought to be one.

Oh, yes. I see one right here.
Right here.

Maybe this one just wanders
right on over like so.

Maybe he's got two arms.

And a few little limbs
here and there.

OK.

Just let them wander around.

Maybe we'll put just
a few more up in here.

Wherever.

Once again, this is your tree,

so wherever you want a limb,
that's where one should be.

Now I'm going to take a fan brush

and a little bit
of the yellow ochre.

Put a little tiny bit of sap
green into it. Dull it.

Let's just drop some little
grassy things back in here.

Just so we have some little things
growing out here on this rock.

Just like so.

It adds a little
colour to the painting.

You don't have to be
completely monotone.

OK. Now let's finish up
our tree here.

I'm going to take a little
bit of the yellow ochre

and use that for my
highlight colour.

And just touch.

There we go. Don't overdo it.

Just enough to make this side
stand out a little bit.

Follow the general shape
of your tree.

There.

OK. Now, let's put some
little leaves on the tree.

We'll use some Van Dyke brown

and burnt umber mixed
on the one-inch brush.

And let's just go and just put in

a few very loose, delicate,
little leaves.

This old tree has had
a hard life up here.

He doesn't have a whole
bunch of leaves.

There we go.

Just lay them in wherever
you think they should be.

Isn't that a shame,
all the work you did back here

and now you're putting leaves
over it and covering it up.

But don't worry about it
because it wasn't wasted.

You learned a great deal,
you got a chance to practise

and that's really
what it's all about.

If there is a secret to it,
it's practice.

It's practice, that's all.

Maybe...

Maybe there's something
that lives right there.

You can make your tree as full
or as loose as you want.

Maybe these old limbs here have died

and they're just
hanging off the side.

Now I'm going to take a little
yellow ochre, put a tiny bit

of paint thinner with it to thin it
and a little bit of the burnt umber.

Quite a bit of ochre, though.

We want it to be bright enough
so it stands out.

And we'll go right up here

and very gently lay some
highlights on these leaves.

Don't overdo them.
We want them very quiet.

There.

Just let them go.

Just a few here and there.

Now, next week we're going
to do a white canvas,

so if you have your canvas ready
and sitting on the easel,

you can paint right along with us
and you too can have a super time.

There we are. We just about
got leaves on this tree.

There we are.

Just drop them in.

Alrighty. I think we're just
about finished with this painting.

It's a super nice example

of what can be done with just
a few colours, a little imagination

and a happy dream in your heart.

So from all of us here at WIPB

we'd like to wish each and everyone
of you happy painting and God bless.
