All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x07 - _track3_[eng]

Hi. Glad to see you again today.

Are you ready to do
a fantastic seascape?

I thought that's what we'd do today.

So let's start out and have 'em run
all the colours across the screen

that you need to do this seascape
with me.

And let's go on up here let me talk
just a little bit

while they're doing that.

I started with a good old standard
18 x 24-inch canvas,

but I've done something a little bit
different today.

The top part of the canvas is
totally covered

with a thin even coat of Liquid
White, all the way up here.

You can see this little line here.

Now, from here down is covered with
Liquid Clear.

Now, this is just like Liquid White,
only it's clear - that's all.

So let's go and do a fantastic
little seascape.

I'm going to start out
with a two-inch brush

and a small, small amount
of the Cad Yellow.

A very small amount.

Just beat it into the bristles
a little bit.

OK, let's go up here.

Now then, maybe we'll have a
beautiful,

bright little sky today.

So I'm just going to start with a
little yellow.

Do something like so.

Just let that mix with the
Liquid White.

There!

Now, without cleaning the brush,

we're right in to a touch of
Yellow Ochre.

Load the brush the same way.

Go back up here.

Right around the edges of that.

See there? Still using little
crisscross strokes.

We'll just bring that right
around, sort of like so.

There we go.

If a little happens to get down here
in your paint,

don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.

It's no problem at all.

OK. Still without cleaning
the brush,

we'll go right into Bright Red.

A little bit.

It's very strong, OK?

Now, then, right around those edges,

we'll take a little bit of this
beautiful red colour.

Just like so.

Isn't that pretty?

Already, we have a painting for
the Museum of Modern Art here.

You can just stop right there.

Now then, I want to put a little bit
of red over here

and just let it work right along.

Right in here is going to be
the horizon.

There we go.

And we'll just very lightly blend
all this together.

OK.

Now then, I have several brushes
going

so I don't have to spend all my time
washing.

I'm going to take straight
Titanium White,

just straight white and
go right up into this area.

And I want this to be very bright

so I'm going to take white
and put it right there.

Straight Titanium White.

That won't show up much because
light against light is nothing.

But you just wait!

Now I'm going to grab it
and pull it.

Just pull.

Grab it and pull.

We don't care what happens in here,

we're going to cover all that up
anyway.

Now then, let me wash the brush.

And we just wash our brushes with
odourless paint thinner,

shake 'em off

and beat the devil out of 'em.

OK.

Now we can just use this
same old brush.

I'm going to go into a small amount
of Phthalo Blue

and reach up here and grab a little
touch of Alizarin Crimson.

So we have Phthalo Blue
and Alizarin Crimson -

proportionately, much more crimson
than blue.

I want this to be a little bit
to the reddish side.

OK.

There's very little paint
on the brush.

Let's go back up here.

Now then, just the corner of
the brush...

..using little circular strokes.

And let's just begin laying in some
happy little clouds.

Maybe there's one that lives...

Oh, looky there. Looky there.

There he is. See? He comes right out
there.

Look at that!

See how easy it is to make all kinds
of beautiful little cloud shapes?

All you need is just the corner
of the brush.

There we go.

OK.

Now then, over here, we'll put in a
little cloud

that lives right there.

There we go.

And, in your world, you decide where
the clouds live,

and you put as many or as few as
you want.

It's your decision.

There we go.

Just wherever.

Maybe there's one right there.

Still using those tiny little
strokes,

little circular strokes,

just with the corner of the brush.

OK. As I say, I have several brushes
going here.

Now, with a clean brush...

..I'm just going to very gently
blend this a little.

You don't have to over-blend it.

Just enough to sort of mix it up.

Like so.

There we go.

Still using little round strokes,
little circular strokes,

Now, you can blend this til it
absolutely goes away.

All we want to do is blend it just
enough to soften the edges

so it comes all together.

And then watch here.

Then we'll take this and very
gently...

Three hairs and some air.

Very gently just bring it
all together.

You don't want to lose your shapes.

You just want to soften
all the edges.

And then you can do like that.

See how it just brings it right
over?

Makes it look like little light
streaks coming through there.

Now, then, to really
add a little more contrast,

I'm going to mix a little more
colour, the same colour,

crimson and Phthalo Blue.

Alizarin Crimson and Phthalo Blue.

But a little darker, a little more
on the brush.

And, right in here, I want to show
a cloud that's a little closer.

So, for that, we'll just use a
little darker colour

and it'll give the impression that
this cloud is closer to us.

See how easy that is?

You can create all kinds of
beautiful little things

happening in here.

All right. Then we'll go back to our
clean brush.

Stir this up a little bit.

Just mix it.

Don't overdo it. Don't overdo it.

It's easy to get carried away.

And, then, very lightly...

Two hairs and some air this time.

See? It gives the impression
that that cloud is in front

a little bit,

so it helps create the illusion of
depth and distance in your sky.

And you can put a couple here
and there.

Wherever.

But - that easy - you can make
a fantastic, fantastic sky.

Looks like a nice sunset already.

And, if you want to, you can go in
here with a fan brush

and you can add
some little streakers.

Little streaky clouds.

See?

That easy.

And you can put as many of these
in as you want.

I just want to show you how.

Clean, dry brush.

And then blend them right
into the painting.

There we go.

Isn't that a beautiful sky?

And you can do it.

There. Wash that brush. I have some
paper towels over here.

I'll just dry the fan brush off.

That's the fun part
of this whole technique.

All righty.

Now, then, we have to make
a big decision here.

Let's take...

Let's take...

Let's take our Phthalo Blue....

..Alizarin Crimson...

..and I'm going to make a dark, dark
lavender colour.

On the palette,
it should look black.

All right.

We've got our mixed here.

Now, then, let me show you
one other thing first.

One of the easiest ways to help you
with a seascape -

because they're hard at first until
you practise a little -

I'm going to take the little
filbert brush here

and, to that, I've added a bunch of
paint thinner

so this is thin as water, nearly.

Sort of come in here and sketch out
where you want

the major wave to be.

And let's just say it's going to
live - boom - right there.

And this is not a commitment
at this time.

You can still change it.

Zoom! It comes up like that.

Maybe it comes over.

Maybe the foam's going to crash up
in here - somewhere like that.

Now, our shoreline, maybe
it'll come...

Oh, like that. Something like it.

That just helps give you a little
bit of, sort of, a layout.

And it'll really save you
a lot of trouble.

OK.

After you've practised a while,
maybe you don't need to do this.

But, at first, I really recommend
you do it that way.

It'll help you lay it out.

Here, I'm using that dark colour we
made.

It's a very dark lavender colour.

See, if we had used
Liquid White here,

when we put this on it would pick
up the white

and you would lose this beautiful,
beautiful dark colour.

There! Liquid Clear allows us
to mix on the canvas

without changing the value
of the colour.

Look at that!

And we just come right on down
in here.

In here, we're going to have
the transparency,

or the bright spot of the wave.

That's the part of the wave...

If you're into selling paintings,

that's the part of the wave
that sells.

That's what everybody wants to see,
is that big, big crasher.

It'll come right in here.

And just sort of follow
this guide.

All we're doing here is putting
in some dark colour,

so our light will show later on.

I'm going to add
a little more colour.

A little more colour.

Just Alizarin Crimson
and Phthalo Blue.

Now, when you're doing this at home,
you can add all kinds of colours.

A lot of times, Phthalo Green is
very pretty in seascapes.

Ooh, it is a dynamite colour -
beautiful colour.

But it's very strong.
Be careful with it.

See? Already, we have all of our
dark areas blocked in.

When you're using the big old
two-inch brush,

it'll take about a second.

OK.

Isn't that a beautiful, rich colour?

All right.

Now we can really start playing.

Let me grab my fan brush.

I'm going to take the same old
colours -

Alizarin Crimson and Phthalo Blue.

And let's put some on the fan
brush here.

Just load it back and forth,
like that.

Not a great deal of paint
on the brush, OK?

Let's go up here.

Maybe there's a little footland
back here.

That's a fancy name for a rock that
sticks out in the water.

A little peninsula, WAY back in the
distance.

And this is too far away
to show detail,

so don't worry about it.

All we're looking for here is
just a basic shape.

OK, tell you what, truth is that was
so much fun,

let's do another one.

Maybe there's another bigger stone
in front of it here.

Bigger footland.

This will help create the illusion
of distance in your painting.

And you can put all kinds of things
back here.

You can put little trees on these
footlands, and just whatever.

But it really helps.

So you choose different planes in
your painting.

I hope you can see that.

OK.

Now, if it doesn't show up quite
well enough,

you can add a little highlight
to it.

Just to get it to stand out
a little more.

Maybe that'll help.

You can see that a little
better now.

There we go.

Good.

OK.

And, that quick, we've got a happy
little footland back here.

All right. Now we can begin putting
in some of the good stuff.

I'll start with just plain old
Titanium White.

And we'll go right up here...

..and just begin putting in some
happy little highlights.

WAY back here in the distance.

Barely, barely touching.

Barely touching.

And, sort of like that, make all
these little things happen.

Bring it right around the base
of this little

footland back here.

Now, then, let's have some fun.

Let's go, like, right in here.

Watch here. Grab it...

..and just come right up like that.

Uh-oh, what have we done now?

And maybe there's another
one right here.

And back.

And let's go right along here.

Like that.

And then right along there.

See how easy that is?

Clean off the old brush here.

OK.

Now, then, I'm going to take another
fan brush that's clean

and very gently, very gently,

I'm just going to begin doing
like so.

See? Just work that back.

Pay very, very close attention to
angles.

All you want to leave in here
is the dark area.

This is a time when the dark areas
are much more important

than the light areas.

Now, right in here, same thing.

Same thing.

Just blend that up, like that.

That's beginning to look pretty
already.

OK.

Now then, we can go right into
a little bit of white.

See? We're making all these little
things that are far, far away.

Little swells that are far
in the distance.

Don't want too much detail
back there.

There's our little footland.

OK, good.

This painting, it'll teach you to
be an expert brush-washer.

Let's go back into our blue
and crimson.

Blue and crimson.

Just mix it right on the palate.

All right.

Now, this area here,
we have to put dark in

before we can put our light in.

So let's just add a little bit
of dark colour right here.

See how easy that is?

Follow that basic angle.

Look at that.

All we're doing is just applying
dark.

We'll come back later
and put all the highlights on.

The good parts.

Everybody wants to jump on these
good parts.

But you have to do
the framework first.

OK. Now that we've got some dark
on there...

..let's take some white.

I'm just using Titanium White.

A lot of paint on the brush now -
a lot of paint.

OK.

Now then, grab this and pull it.

Pull it. The strokes are very
important.

You might need to wash or wipe your
brush.

Sometimes you just wipe it in
between each stroke,

because you're going to pick up some
of this under-colour.

See? Grab it and pull it.

Here, like that.

OK.

Now then, let's get our little
filbert brush here.

I'm going to go into white

and the least, least little touch of
Cadmium Yellow.

White and yellow.

White and yellow. Let's go up here.

Now, then, let's go right in here.

This is the part that makes
the painting so pretty.

This is it.

All we're doing here is scrubbing
in some colour.

And the light would come right
along the top of this wave

because the water is thinner here.

Look at that.

Just like so. And maybe there's a
touch even right over in here.

Just a little bit right
in there.

All right.

Now then, with a clean...

..dry...

Be sure it's dry.
It's most important.

Clean, dry, two-inch brush.

Come right in here.

Very, very gently.

Just begin blending this.

Now then, we're going to begin
picking up

some of this nice, rich lavender
colour we have down here

and blending it right up into it.

Looky there!

This is where we begin forming
the basic angle of the wave.

I beat the brush just to remove
excess paint.

See? It doesn't matter if a little
of that colour goes up in there.

That light...

The light area will remain.

Just grab it and pull.

OK.

Let me find my little filbert
brush here.

We'll use some of this lavender
colour that we have.

Same old lavender colour,
but a touch of white in it.

There we go.

Now, let's begin putting some foam
in here.

First, we'll put the shadows in.

Then you take this brush
and just lay it over

and just really scrub it in.

Get tough with it. Get mean with it.

Think about water churning
and bubbling

and maybe it comes way up here
and crashes and splashes

and all kinds of fantastic little
things are happening.

And this is only the shadow.

Only the shadow.

We'll come back and put
the highlights on in a second.

OK.

Now, then, I want to fill this in.

This needs to be good and dark also.

Like that.

Then, with our clean brush, we want
to continue this angle.

Just grab it and bring it through.

Looky there.

OK.

Now, be sure the filbert brush
is good and clean and dry.

Now comes the fun part.

This is what we wait on.

Take white, Cad Yellow.

Load a lot of paint
into the bristles.

Just really fill this
son of a gun up.

Now, then, sort of hold a brush here

and give it a little upward push.

And it's that upward push, that's
where the splash happens.

And, when you begin running out of
paint,

turn it over and use the other side
of the brush.

And usually you can just wipe off
the excess.

You don't have to go through
the whole cleaning procedure.

You want to keep this colour
as pure as you can.

Cos it's going to mix
with what's on there.

OK.

Plenty of paint on the brush.

Plenty of paint.

Splash it way up here.

All kinds of beautiful little things
are happening.

Continually wipe that brush.
Keep it good and clean.

And we'll have a little bit...

Boom. Oh, you get carried away
with these.

You can really get carried away
and have a super time.

Seascapes are fun.

OK.

Clean off the brush.

OK. Now, with a good, clean,
dry brush,

you just want to sort of mix this
together.

That'll sort of make a different
value, a medium value,

cos it'll mix with the dark and the
light, and brings it all together.

Just stir it up a little bit.

OK.

Now, then, a good, clean, dry,
two-inch brush.

Just the corner.

And just mix this up.

All you have to do is just very
gently bring all this together.

Very gently.

This is two hairs and some air.

Barely, barely touching

And, that easy, we have it.

I'm going to take paint thinner,
yellow and white.

And be sure your paint
is as thin as ink.

So, very thin, water consistency.

Let's go right up here.

This nice, bright area here,

there's going to be all kinds
of light shining through.

Just put all these happy little
things.

And, at home, when you have
unlimited time,

you can just really go in here and
put all kinds of beautiful,

beautiful little things.

OK.

Come right along here and just
sparkle that, like so.

All right.

Now let's take some white, a little
touch of the Phthalo Blue -

very little blue.

Just white and blue.

And let's begin working on some
happy little things

that are just floating right
on down through here.

All kinds of little...

This is where you begin forming the
wave.

This gives it shape, it gives
it character.

Look at that!

And back in here.

Just bring it right on back.

Let's have some fun.

Right into that light area,

I'm going to go right into some
Cad Yellow.

We'll just throw that right on
there.

Right into Yellow Ochre,
just like we did the sky.

Just drop it in.

Right into some Bright Red.

We've got us a fireball going here.

Then I'm going to reach into
Dark Sienna.

Little bit more Dark Sienna here.

Then right into Van Dyke Brown.

Over here, I want it to get
quite dark

so it makes that light REALLY stand
out.

OK. Now, then, a little touch of
white right there.

And then, with a clean brush,

all you have to do
is blend all this together.

Just blend it together.

Let the colours sort of mix...

..and then lightly, lightly,
lightly go across.

Lightly go across.

Then we'll take a fan brush.

I want to put Titanium White

with the least, least little touch
of Phthalo Blue on it,

and then let's come right in here
and begin making

all kinds of happy little foam
things.

Just laying out here,
having a good time.

Leave some of these dark areas.

Leave some dark areas.

Don't kill 'em all.

See? Begin paying attention
to the shape of the wave.

It's very important.

Very important. Over here, I have
some coming up like that.

Now, while I've got the ol' brush
going,

I'll just take it
right into some brown.

And let's have, maybe, just some
sand right here.

There it is. Looky there.

This is just brown with a little
touch of white that was left on it.

Right down like that.

A little bit of sand on the beach.

Van Dyke Brown, Dark Sienna,
a little touch of white.

Little seagulls, they've got to have
a place to run.

OK, now.

Take a little paint thinner with
some dark paint.

We just run a little line
right under here.

Like so.

Paint thinner with some of
the light blue.

And we can just put the indication
of a little bit of water

playing all down here on the beach.

Put all kinds of little lines
and stuff here and there.

See how easy that is?

It really makes some nice,
nice effects.

And let's have a happy
little stone.

It lives right there.

This is just Van Dyke Brown.

Shoot, I tell you, we'll have
another little stone right there.

Pull a little bit down.

Grab it.

That makes a reflection.

Take the little knife...

..and we'll put the least little
touch of some highlights on here.

Like so.

The old clock on the wall's telling
me I've got to stop for today.

So, with that, I think we'll call
this painting finished.

I sincerely hope you've enjoyed it.

That'll give you a good idea of how
to do a fantastic seascape.

Happy painting. God bless.
