Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:28,096 --> 00:00:30,028
Hey, welcome back.
2
00:00:30,028 --> 00:00:32,016
Certainly glad
you can join me today.
3
00:00:32,016 --> 00:00:34,004
You ready to do
a fantastic painting?
4
00:00:34,004 --> 00:00:36,068
I thought today we'd do something
that's a little bit different,
5
00:00:36,068 --> 00:00:39,004
and I really, really believe
you're going to enjoy this.
6
00:00:39,004 --> 00:00:41,044
Let's go up here,
and let me talk just a second.
7
00:00:41,044 --> 00:00:44,072
Now, we have our good old
18 by 24 inch canvas, as normal,
8
00:00:44,072 --> 00:00:49,080
but today I've covered the entire
canvas with a very, very thin coat
9
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,060
of the Liquid Clear.
10
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:54,032
And if you remember, in some
of the past series, I've used that
11
00:00:54,032 --> 00:00:56,032
to do some beautiful,
beautiful seascapes,
12
00:00:56,032 --> 00:00:59,048
and I've got so many letters saying,
"Can I do landscapes with it?"
13
00:00:59,048 --> 00:01:00,092
Well, I want to show you something
14
00:01:00,092 --> 00:01:03,056
that's a little different, and
I think you're going to enjoy it.
15
00:01:03,056 --> 00:01:06,040
So let's start out and have them run
all the colours across the screen
16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,052
that you need to do
this little painting with me.
17
00:01:08,052 --> 00:01:11,048
And they'll come across as usual,
starting with the white,
18
00:01:11,048 --> 00:01:15,004
and they are in the same order
that I have them on my palette.
19
00:01:15,004 --> 00:01:16,088
And let's go on up here
and get started.
20
00:01:16,088 --> 00:01:20,088
As I say, there's just a very
thin coat of this Liquid Clear.
21
00:01:20,088 --> 00:01:23,096
Now, the biggest thing to remember
when you're using the clear
22
00:01:23,096 --> 00:01:27,044
is to put the tiniest
little amount on.
23
00:01:27,044 --> 00:01:28,080
It goes so far.
24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,096
One jar will probably last you
the rest of your life.
25
00:01:31,096 --> 00:01:33,096
Very, very thin amount.
26
00:01:33,096 --> 00:01:35,036
Now then, let's have some fun.
27
00:01:35,036 --> 00:01:36,068
Let's do something that's -
28
00:01:36,068 --> 00:01:39,012
hold us to a background today
that's a little different.
29
00:01:39,012 --> 00:01:43,008
I'm going to start with the
least little touch of Dark Sienna -
30
00:01:43,008 --> 00:01:45,052
and very little paint.
31
00:01:45,052 --> 00:01:46,092
Very little paint.
32
00:01:46,092 --> 00:01:48,052
Let's go right up here.
33
00:01:48,052 --> 00:01:51,036
Now, just pick a spot you like,
34
00:01:51,036 --> 00:01:53,084
and let's do something like that.
See how easy that is?
35
00:01:53,084 --> 00:01:56,048
All right. Now, reach over here,
36
00:01:56,048 --> 00:01:59,040
we'll grab a touch of
Alizarin Crimson.
37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,084
Same way, but there's very,
very little paint on the brush.
38
00:02:02,084 --> 00:02:04,076
Very little.
39
00:02:04,076 --> 00:02:06,060
And we'll just do this.
40
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:08,068
Now, most of these colours
in the background
41
00:02:08,068 --> 00:02:12,024
that I'm going to use today
are transparent.
42
00:02:12,024 --> 00:02:15,064
And by being transparent, they'll
give you a whole different effect
43
00:02:15,064 --> 00:02:17,076
than if you had Liquid White
on the canvas.
44
00:02:17,076 --> 00:02:19,032
You'll enjoy this one.
45
00:02:19,032 --> 00:02:24,064
OK, I'm going to go into
a touch of Van Dyke Brown.
46
00:02:24,064 --> 00:02:27,060
Just the least little touch,
least little touch.
47
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,052
And we'll just do another one.
48
00:02:29,052 --> 00:02:32,056
And all I'm doing is making little
streaks of colour here and there.
49
00:02:34,088 --> 00:02:37,056
Get a tiniest little bit of
the blue.
50
00:02:37,056 --> 00:02:39,064
Tiniest little bit of blue.
51
00:02:39,064 --> 00:02:41,040
We'll come right up in here.
52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,004
Ooh!
53
00:02:43,004 --> 00:02:44,096
Right there. Right there.
54
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:48,072
And just sort of let these colours
work together,
55
00:02:48,072 --> 00:02:50,084
but we don't blend them
totally to death,
56
00:02:50,084 --> 00:02:52,096
just sort of here and there,
57
00:02:52,096 --> 00:02:56,056
and just sort of let your
imagination go crazy.
58
00:02:56,056 --> 00:02:59,016
This is one of those paintings
you should really do
59
00:02:59,016 --> 00:03:01,016
when you're in
a fantastic happy mood,
60
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,096
and you just sort of
want to let things happen.
61
00:03:03,096 --> 00:03:06,096
I'm just going back and forth
between the crimsons and the browns
62
00:03:06,096 --> 00:03:08,084
and blue...
63
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,084
..whatever. Whatever.
64
00:03:12,084 --> 00:03:15,004
Just sort of let your imagination
be your guide here.
65
00:03:16,056 --> 00:03:17,080
Back to the Dark Sienna.
66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,048
Maybe I'll put a little darker
streak here and there.
67
00:03:21,096 --> 00:03:23,016
Just there.
68
00:03:24,044 --> 00:03:26,048
And that's one.
69
00:03:28,076 --> 00:03:31,012
Now, I want to make the indication -
70
00:03:31,012 --> 00:03:32,044
this would be almost...
71
00:03:34,004 --> 00:03:35,088
..almost unrecognisable.
72
00:03:38,072 --> 00:03:40,084
But back in here, maybe, baby,
73
00:03:40,084 --> 00:03:44,044
there's just a slightest little
indication of some distant trees.
74
00:03:44,044 --> 00:03:47,000
I'm going back into
the Dark Sienna, and tapping.
75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,028
Just tap a little colour,
76
00:03:49,028 --> 00:03:52,028
maybe pick up
a little bit of the crimson,
77
00:03:52,028 --> 00:03:55,000
a tiny little bit of colour.
78
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,088
Let's go back up here,
and maybe back, way back in here,
79
00:03:57,088 --> 00:04:00,048
there's some big trees
that live back in there.
80
00:04:01,076 --> 00:04:05,040
But they're so far back,
you don't make out anything,
81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,020
but just very, very...
82
00:04:09,036 --> 00:04:11,016
..little shapes.
83
00:04:12,076 --> 00:04:14,016
There. See?
84
00:04:15,032 --> 00:04:17,060
We're not looking for any detail.
85
00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:19,084
Avoid detail at this point.
86
00:04:21,072 --> 00:04:23,048
There we go.
87
00:04:23,048 --> 00:04:27,012
Add a little bit of
the Van Dyke Brown in there,
88
00:04:27,012 --> 00:04:29,068
and you can make some of them
maybe a little darker.
89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,052
It's almost abstract, back here.
90
00:04:36,092 --> 00:04:38,096
OK, maybe there's
a little one in here.
91
00:04:38,096 --> 00:04:42,044
Wherever. You just sort of make up
your mind where you'd like one,
92
00:04:42,044 --> 00:04:44,044
and drop it in.
93
00:04:44,044 --> 00:04:48,040
Because this is - for today,
this is really your creation.
94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,092
I don't even know what this one's
going to end up being.
95
00:04:50,092 --> 00:04:52,084
There's one that's
a little bit darker.
96
00:04:54,036 --> 00:04:55,076
OK...
97
00:04:57,052 --> 00:04:58,096
..like so.
98
00:05:02,012 --> 00:05:03,064
All right.
99
00:05:03,064 --> 00:05:06,056
Now then, tell you what -
let me just beat the paint
100
00:05:06,056 --> 00:05:08,044
out of that brush, and very lightly,
101
00:05:08,044 --> 00:05:11,036
very lightly, I'm just going to
lift all this up.
102
00:05:11,036 --> 00:05:12,040
Just barely touching.
103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,060
I want to blend it
right back into that background.
104
00:05:18,092 --> 00:05:20,040
See it there?
105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,012
Now then, I'm going to
lay the palette down today.
106
00:05:25,012 --> 00:05:28,012
Pick up a... Let me grab
a fan brush here.
107
00:05:29,084 --> 00:05:32,048
There we go.
Here's a nice fan brush.
108
00:05:32,048 --> 00:05:35,016
I'm going to dip it
into the paint thinner.
109
00:05:35,016 --> 00:05:36,068
Now, the Liquid Clear...
110
00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:41,016
..and paint thinner
have almost a violent reaction.
111
00:05:41,016 --> 00:05:42,040
So watch what happens.
112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,048
I'm just going to use
the edge of the knife,
113
00:05:44,048 --> 00:05:46,004
and just flick a little on here.
114
00:05:46,004 --> 00:05:47,092
Look at that. See?
115
00:05:47,092 --> 00:05:51,084
Makes all those beautiful
little patterns in there.
116
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:53,068
Now, this is so much fun,
117
00:05:53,068 --> 00:05:57,008
you can get carried away,
and just eat it all up.
118
00:05:57,008 --> 00:05:59,048
So just a little at a time.
119
00:06:01,012 --> 00:06:02,036
Just a little at a time.
120
00:06:02,036 --> 00:06:04,000
You can always add more.
121
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,088
And if you do too many
and you don't like them,
122
00:06:05,088 --> 00:06:07,068
you can go back and add
some colour in there.
123
00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:11,020
See how pretty that is?
124
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:15,028
And it's so simple, and it makes
an effect that's very unique,
125
00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:18,036
And it looks like thousands
and thousands and thousands
126
00:06:18,036 --> 00:06:20,064
of little leaves,
that are far, far away,
127
00:06:20,064 --> 00:06:22,060
but we have no detail in them yet.
128
00:06:24,048 --> 00:06:25,076
There we go.
129
00:06:26,076 --> 00:06:28,020
Now, the longer this sets,
130
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:30,092
the more these little things
will grow.
131
00:06:30,092 --> 00:06:33,008
Let's have some more fun.
132
00:06:33,008 --> 00:06:35,004
Let's do some big evergreens now.
133
00:06:35,004 --> 00:06:36,088
We have this nice soft background.
134
00:06:36,088 --> 00:06:38,084
I'll take some blue and some black.
135
00:06:39,088 --> 00:06:42,032
We'll grab a bunch of brown,
136
00:06:42,032 --> 00:06:44,060
some Sap Green...
137
00:06:45,092 --> 00:06:47,096
..shoot, we'll throw some crimson
in there, too.
138
00:06:47,096 --> 00:06:49,072
I'm just really looking for
a dark colour.
139
00:06:51,008 --> 00:06:53,032
You might as well
mix up a big bunch.
140
00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:56,068
OK, let me clean my knife off here.
141
00:06:58,012 --> 00:07:00,076
I'll tell you what, let's do...
Today...
142
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:05,032
..let's make some nice big
evergreens back here,
143
00:07:05,032 --> 00:07:08,024
and we'll use a two inch brush.
144
00:07:08,024 --> 00:07:11,064
Sometimes we avoid this big brush
because it's so big.
145
00:07:11,064 --> 00:07:15,004
But it'll do absolutely
fantastic things.
146
00:07:15,004 --> 00:07:18,040
Now, pull the brush through the
paint, and wiggle it as you pull it.
147
00:07:19,084 --> 00:07:22,000
Both sides, wiggle,
148
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,060
and then sharpen it,
149
00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:26,012
just like you would a fine knife.
150
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:28,092
And you can bring this brush
to a super chiselled edge.
151
00:07:28,092 --> 00:07:31,076
See how sharp that is?
Look at that.
152
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:33,060
That's what you're looking for.
153
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:35,016
Pull it through by wiggling it.
154
00:07:35,016 --> 00:07:36,088
A lot of paint in the bristles.
155
00:07:36,088 --> 00:07:38,040
If you don't have a lot of paint,
156
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,068
then the bristles will not
stick together,
157
00:07:40,068 --> 00:07:42,040
and they'll flop open every time.
158
00:07:44,052 --> 00:07:47,016
OK. So let's just sharpen it,
so it's very sharp.
159
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:51,096
Now then, maybe right in here
160
00:07:51,096 --> 00:07:53,032
- there is now -
161
00:07:53,032 --> 00:07:57,008
we'll have a big evergreen tree,
162
00:07:57,008 --> 00:07:59,016
and just begin working
back and forth.
163
00:07:59,016 --> 00:08:01,060
Use just the corner of the brush,
and push downward.
164
00:08:02,092 --> 00:08:04,004
Just push downward.
165
00:08:04,004 --> 00:08:06,052
Now, these are close to you,
166
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:08,040
so we're going to have
a lot of detail.
167
00:08:09,064 --> 00:08:10,068
Look at that.
168
00:08:10,068 --> 00:08:14,016
Did you ever believe you could make
such a fantastic tree
169
00:08:14,016 --> 00:08:16,032
with a great big brush?
170
00:08:17,072 --> 00:08:19,048
Look at that.
I tell you what, let's do...
171
00:08:19,048 --> 00:08:22,036
I see something else here that
I think would just work very nice.
172
00:08:23,076 --> 00:08:26,008
In a painting, you want to put
a lot of planes.
173
00:08:26,008 --> 00:08:29,044
These planes create the illusion
of depth and distance.
174
00:08:29,044 --> 00:08:32,000
Let's put a plane back here,
before we put too much on.
175
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,092
And I'll show you how that'll help
push everything back.
176
00:08:36,008 --> 00:08:40,032
I'm going to use the round brush
and the tiniest little bit,
177
00:08:40,032 --> 00:08:43,052
tiniest little bit
of the Dark Sienna.
178
00:08:43,052 --> 00:08:45,020
And just tap.
179
00:08:45,020 --> 00:08:46,064
OK, let's go right up here.
180
00:08:46,064 --> 00:08:49,096
Maybe there's some little bushes
that live right there.
181
00:08:49,096 --> 00:08:52,000
Tiniest little bit of colour,
though.
182
00:08:53,088 --> 00:08:55,064
There we go. See?
183
00:08:55,064 --> 00:08:56,080
And that easy,
184
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,024
you can create all kinds of happy
little bushes that live back here.
185
00:09:02,068 --> 00:09:04,008
Just like so.
186
00:09:05,036 --> 00:09:07,048
Now, how about taking the brush
and pulling it?
187
00:09:09,028 --> 00:09:11,016
See, this once again, is a colour...
188
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,000
..it's very transparent.
189
00:09:16,036 --> 00:09:18,028
So very nice little things happen.
190
00:09:19,088 --> 00:09:21,008
And when we're done,
191
00:09:21,008 --> 00:09:22,096
this will look like
a little plane back here.
192
00:09:22,096 --> 00:09:24,024
I'll show you in just a second.
193
00:09:24,024 --> 00:09:27,028
And that'll help create the illusion
of more distance in your painting.
194
00:09:28,052 --> 00:09:31,016
Of course, none of us are
interested in that happy buck,
195
00:09:31,016 --> 00:09:33,064
but should you be,
this is what sells your painting.
196
00:09:33,064 --> 00:09:34,076
With a liner brush,
197
00:09:34,076 --> 00:09:37,044
with a paint that's been thinned
with a little thinner,
198
00:09:37,044 --> 00:09:41,052
you can add just indication of a few
little sticks and twigs back here.
199
00:09:41,052 --> 00:09:43,056
Not too many - just a few.
200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,048
Just a few.
201
00:09:46,048 --> 00:09:47,068
Like so.
202
00:09:48,076 --> 00:09:49,088
OK.
203
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:54,008
Shoot, I'm going to make some more
of them evergreens. Those are fun.
204
00:09:54,008 --> 00:09:56,056
Back to our very dark colour.
205
00:09:56,056 --> 00:09:58,000
Very, very dark colour.
206
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,048
Load that brush full of paint,
207
00:10:00,048 --> 00:10:02,080
to a nice sharp chiselled edge.
208
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,048
See, sometimes maybe you just want
to make the indication of trees
209
00:10:05,048 --> 00:10:06,096
that are far away. Watch here.
210
00:10:06,096 --> 00:10:09,088
If you could just take that brush
and tap downward.
211
00:10:09,088 --> 00:10:11,048
Give it a little pull,
212
00:10:11,048 --> 00:10:14,040
and make the indication of trees
that are far away,
213
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,000
that you don't see
a tremendous amount of detail in.
214
00:10:18,012 --> 00:10:20,052
And wherever you think
they should live,
215
00:10:20,052 --> 00:10:22,088
that's exactly where
they are to live.
216
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,044
Look at that. See?
217
00:10:25,044 --> 00:10:28,040
You can make hundreds of trees
that are far away.
218
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,064
That simple.
219
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,004
See, while we've been talking
here, this background
220
00:10:33,004 --> 00:10:36,060
has continued to grow -
the little dots.
221
00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:38,068
Isn't that pretty, though?
222
00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:41,092
And you can make all kinds of
beautiful effects with the clear,
223
00:10:41,092 --> 00:10:44,064
and then just sprinkling
a little thinner on it.
224
00:10:44,064 --> 00:10:46,068
I'm not a very good
portrait painter,
225
00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:49,088
but I'm sure you might be,
226
00:10:49,088 --> 00:10:52,096
and it's a super background
for doing portraits on.
227
00:10:52,096 --> 00:10:55,056
Try that sometime, you'll enjoy it.
228
00:10:55,056 --> 00:10:56,072
OK.
229
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:58,068
Let's go back here.
230
00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:00,064
I don't want this one
big old tree to get lonely,
231
00:11:00,064 --> 00:11:02,040
so I'm going to give him a friend,
232
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,032
and his friend...
233
00:11:04,032 --> 00:11:06,012
..his friend lives right there.
234
00:11:07,056 --> 00:11:09,040
See, the corner of the brush.
235
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,060
This will give you some practice
with that big brush.
236
00:11:12,088 --> 00:11:16,024
Boy, it's the best tree maker
you ever seen.
237
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:19,048
Beautiful, beautiful trees.
238
00:11:20,072 --> 00:11:22,000
Beautiful trees.
239
00:11:24,052 --> 00:11:29,024
OK, maybe there's another one lives
right there, wherever you want them.
240
00:11:29,024 --> 00:11:30,080
Wherever.
241
00:11:35,064 --> 00:11:37,020
There we go.
242
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:39,056
Just tree after tree after tree.
243
00:11:42,028 --> 00:11:45,024
And between each tree,
reload the brush.
244
00:11:45,024 --> 00:11:48,056
Start with a brush that has
a nice sharp edge on it,
245
00:11:48,056 --> 00:11:51,008
and you'll get much better results.
246
00:11:55,076 --> 00:11:57,044
Let that work right on down...
247
00:11:59,020 --> 00:12:00,076
..wherever you want it to go.
248
00:12:03,008 --> 00:12:06,008
Tell you what, maybe there's
another one right there.
249
00:12:08,008 --> 00:12:09,052
See there?
250
00:12:10,088 --> 00:12:12,044
There he is.
251
00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:16,012
There he is.
252
00:12:17,052 --> 00:12:19,036
And we'll put one little one here.
253
00:12:19,036 --> 00:12:22,048
See, you can make little trees
with a large brush too.
254
00:12:23,096 --> 00:12:25,036
Look at that.
255
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:28,088
That easy.
256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,052
Now then, we can take the knife.
257
00:12:32,052 --> 00:12:34,036
Take a little bit of
the Dark Sienna.
258
00:12:35,048 --> 00:12:38,004
Least little touch of white
into it, so Dark Sienna and white.
259
00:12:38,004 --> 00:12:39,056
Pull it out.
260
00:12:39,056 --> 00:12:41,016
Cut off that little roll of paint.
261
00:12:41,016 --> 00:12:42,068
Let's go up here.
262
00:12:42,068 --> 00:12:45,028
Now then, let's just put
the indication here and there...
263
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:48,092
..of a little tree trunk
in some of these trees.
264
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:52,084
And you're not going to see
the entire trunk.
265
00:12:52,084 --> 00:12:54,048
So, just here and there.
266
00:12:54,048 --> 00:12:56,016
Don't get over-concerned about it.
267
00:12:57,072 --> 00:12:59,036
There we are.
268
00:12:59,036 --> 00:13:01,024
Just drop it in.
269
00:13:01,024 --> 00:13:02,068
And you can scrape through,
270
00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:05,040
just literally scrape
right through the paint.
271
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,064
See? You can probably hear it there.
272
00:13:07,064 --> 00:13:09,088
Make all kind of little sticks
and twigs in there.
273
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:14,064
This is your world, so you make the
determination of where things live,
274
00:13:14,064 --> 00:13:16,076
and you drop them in
wherever you want to.
275
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:19,040
OK. Good.
276
00:13:20,096 --> 00:13:24,020
Told you this would be a fun little
painting - and very different.
277
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:26,000
Same old dirty brush,
278
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,072
going right into the Cad Yellow,
279
00:13:28,072 --> 00:13:31,076
Now, because we had all the blue
and the black in there,
280
00:13:31,076 --> 00:13:33,076
when that touches that yellow,
281
00:13:33,076 --> 00:13:37,044
it's going to turn a beautiful,
beautiful, dark green colour.
282
00:13:37,044 --> 00:13:41,016
Reload the brush back to
the same shape, chiselled edge.
283
00:13:41,016 --> 00:13:42,076
It's very, very sharp.
284
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,024
Look at that.
You could almost shave with that!
285
00:13:46,024 --> 00:13:48,052
OK. Now, come back in here,
286
00:13:48,052 --> 00:13:51,020
and then we're going to just gently
highlight these.
287
00:13:52,092 --> 00:13:55,028
Just using the corner of the brush.
288
00:13:55,028 --> 00:13:57,096
Now, if you have trouble
making the paint stick,
289
00:13:57,096 --> 00:14:01,008
add the least little touch of
paint thinner.
290
00:14:02,032 --> 00:14:04,028
Least a little touch.
291
00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:06,028
A little bit goes a long way.
292
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:10,040
Because a thin paint
will stick to a thick paint.
293
00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:14,028
There we go. There we go.
294
00:14:15,032 --> 00:14:17,036
Now then, this big old tree here.
295
00:14:18,084 --> 00:14:21,044
And in your painting, you put as
many or a few highlights
296
00:14:21,044 --> 00:14:24,032
as you want -
just sort of look at it,
297
00:14:24,032 --> 00:14:26,064
make a determination,
and drop it in.
298
00:14:28,024 --> 00:14:29,056
Just drop it in.
299
00:14:31,052 --> 00:14:33,096
But if you put too much,
you're going to kill that beautiful
300
00:14:33,096 --> 00:14:35,092
dark colour, and your painting
will get flat.
301
00:14:35,092 --> 00:14:37,088
So be careful.
302
00:14:37,088 --> 00:14:39,076
Be careful.
303
00:14:39,076 --> 00:14:41,004
There we go.
304
00:14:42,056 --> 00:14:44,004
Right on down, wherever.
305
00:14:45,048 --> 00:14:46,052
OK.
306
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:48,048
Tell you what,
let me grab another brush.
307
00:14:48,048 --> 00:14:51,008
I have several old brushes
going here.
308
00:14:51,008 --> 00:14:53,000
Now, watch right in here.
309
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,028
I'm going to start...
310
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:57,080
..going to just scrub in
a little bit of colour,
311
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,080
right up to this dark.
312
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,020
Now we're going to begin
creating the lay of the land.
313
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,036
So just scrub it in.
314
00:15:06,036 --> 00:15:09,000
The Liquid Clear is on the canvas.
315
00:15:10,048 --> 00:15:13,004
And the big thing here
is to use almost no paint.
316
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:17,076
Just virtually no paint, I'm just...
317
00:15:19,052 --> 00:15:21,020
..literally scrubbing it in.
318
00:15:22,028 --> 00:15:25,020
Maybe, maybe the lay of the land
will go this way over here.
319
00:15:26,036 --> 00:15:28,036
We'll have this setting
up on a little hill.
320
00:15:31,008 --> 00:15:33,028
And you decide, in your painting,
321
00:15:33,028 --> 00:15:35,060
you decide how
the lay of the land will go.
322
00:15:37,056 --> 00:15:39,044
We're not trying to
teach you to copy here,
323
00:15:39,044 --> 00:15:41,020
we're trying to teach you
a technique,
324
00:15:41,020 --> 00:15:43,076
and then turn you loose
on the world!
325
00:15:43,076 --> 00:15:45,084
Cos you can do anything
that you want to do.
326
00:15:47,028 --> 00:15:48,092
Anything.
327
00:15:50,076 --> 00:15:54,040
You know, I heard one time
that you can have anything
328
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,068
that you want,
329
00:15:55,068 --> 00:15:57,080
anything that you want,
330
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,076
if you help enough other people
get what they want.
331
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:04,060
That's all you have to do.
332
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:07,060
Think about that a little bit.
333
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:08,096
Now then, with the same brush,
334
00:16:08,096 --> 00:16:10,088
I'm going to begin reaching
up in here,
335
00:16:10,088 --> 00:16:13,044
and I'm going to grab
a little touch of this dark.
336
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,052
Don't add any more colour
to your brush.
337
00:16:16,052 --> 00:16:19,080
Just grab this,
and begin working it outward.
338
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,052
If you need more,
come up in there and get it.
339
00:16:22,052 --> 00:16:25,068
Just tap downward, and let it
begin working outward.
340
00:16:27,036 --> 00:16:30,048
And this is the way we'll make all
different planes in this painting.
341
00:16:31,048 --> 00:16:32,072
Isn't that neat?
342
00:16:32,072 --> 00:16:35,020
And now you can see
how that pushed that area back.
343
00:16:36,064 --> 00:16:37,088
Here we go.
344
00:16:39,020 --> 00:16:40,056
Just sort of let it go.
345
00:16:41,096 --> 00:16:44,004
And you have to determine
how far it goes.
346
00:16:47,004 --> 00:16:48,024
There.
347
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,076
And all I'm doing is just tapping
down, just tapping downward.
348
00:17:01,012 --> 00:17:02,076
Over here, I want to
change the angle.
349
00:17:02,076 --> 00:17:05,044
I want this to look like
you're setting up on a little hill,
350
00:17:05,044 --> 00:17:07,012
as we mentioned earlier.
351
00:17:07,012 --> 00:17:09,020
So that's the way you make
the lay of the land go.
352
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:13,048
And the more you tap this,
the softer it will become.
353
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,056
See? Just go right up here.
354
00:17:18,056 --> 00:17:20,080
We can create things
happening in here.
355
00:17:22,044 --> 00:17:24,024
Look at that!
356
00:17:24,024 --> 00:17:25,096
Isn't that fantastic?
357
00:17:27,008 --> 00:17:29,016
I really think you'll like
this Liquid Clear.
358
00:17:31,004 --> 00:17:32,088
It is a lot of fun,
359
00:17:32,088 --> 00:17:36,060
and you can do this with any colour,
any colours.
360
00:17:37,084 --> 00:17:39,076
Especially the transparent colours.
361
00:17:41,036 --> 00:17:43,092
And we'll just sort of begin
rounding this off,
362
00:17:43,092 --> 00:17:45,020
by just tapping.
363
00:17:46,052 --> 00:17:47,088
Just by tapping.
364
00:17:49,012 --> 00:17:50,052
And you could go in,
365
00:17:50,052 --> 00:17:53,084
and you can pick up a little bit of
brown, if you want to,
366
00:17:53,084 --> 00:17:55,080
and create different little things.
367
00:17:58,068 --> 00:18:00,088
All kinds of happy little effects.
368
00:18:03,004 --> 00:18:04,052
OK, little bit of the browns,
369
00:18:04,052 --> 00:18:07,068
and maybe even a touch of crimson
here and there.
370
00:18:07,068 --> 00:18:09,032
However, you sort of look at it,
371
00:18:09,032 --> 00:18:11,092
and you make the determination
what you want in your painting.
372
00:18:15,008 --> 00:18:17,024
I knew you could do it.
373
00:18:17,024 --> 00:18:18,092
You can do anything.
374
00:18:23,076 --> 00:18:26,008
We just sort of let that
fade off into nothing.
375
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:29,060
Let's have some fun.
376
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:30,092
Let's take the little knife,
377
00:18:30,092 --> 00:18:33,080
and maybe, maybe there's
a fence here.
378
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,064
So a nice way to start here,
379
00:18:35,064 --> 00:18:38,044
let's take the small edge of
the small knife,
380
00:18:38,044 --> 00:18:41,044
and very firmly - very firmly -
I'm going to...
381
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,072
..see there?
382
00:18:44,072 --> 00:18:46,020
Isn't that neat?
383
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,056
And I'm using a lot of pressure.
384
00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:56,084
You have to decide how far back
your little fence will go.
385
00:18:57,088 --> 00:19:00,080
But just by taking the knife
and pulling down very firmly,
386
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,068
you're really getting in there
and digging into the canvas.
387
00:19:03,068 --> 00:19:06,008
Tell you, that was so much fun,
let's do another one.
388
00:19:06,008 --> 00:19:08,048
Maybe right over here.
389
00:19:08,048 --> 00:19:09,092
Very firm.
390
00:19:13,072 --> 00:19:15,044
Can you hear how hard
I'm pushing that?
391
00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:20,024
OK, now let's have some rails
on this fence.
392
00:19:20,024 --> 00:19:21,032
Same thing.
393
00:19:21,032 --> 00:19:23,068
I'm just going to take the small
edge of the knife,
394
00:19:23,068 --> 00:19:24,084
and very firmly...
395
00:19:25,092 --> 00:19:27,024
..just go right up like that.
396
00:19:28,072 --> 00:19:31,076
And perspective wise, let it
bigger out here.
397
00:19:33,048 --> 00:19:35,016
OK, let's do the same thing
over here.
398
00:19:35,016 --> 00:19:36,060
Very firm.
399
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,048
I'm literally bending the knife.
400
00:19:40,084 --> 00:19:43,068
And you can let them get wider
as they get closer to you.
401
00:19:43,068 --> 00:19:46,060
That'll help push everything back.
402
00:19:48,088 --> 00:19:50,060
Let's make this one wider.
403
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,084
Ooh, that's a nice one.
404
00:19:53,084 --> 00:19:55,016
That's a rickety old fence.
405
00:19:56,052 --> 00:20:00,044
Had to fence these trees in,
so they wouldn't get away!
406
00:20:02,004 --> 00:20:03,084
Now then, I'll take my liner brush,
407
00:20:03,084 --> 00:20:06,088
and I'm going to some - oh,
this is Titanium White,
408
00:20:06,088 --> 00:20:08,084
with the least little touch of
brown in it.
409
00:20:08,084 --> 00:20:10,028
Let's go right up here,
410
00:20:10,028 --> 00:20:13,052
and we can come right along,
and just sort of highlight these.
411
00:20:16,020 --> 00:20:18,000
They come right along the top.
412
00:20:19,004 --> 00:20:21,040
Just enough to sort of
bring it together.
413
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,056
Put a little highlight there,
414
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:24,088
across the top.
415
00:20:27,016 --> 00:20:28,080
Little bit across that fence,
416
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,064
and off you go.
417
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:34,072
Isn't that sneaky?
418
00:20:34,072 --> 00:20:36,016
I thought you'd like this.
419
00:20:36,016 --> 00:20:37,076
Now then, back to my big brush,
420
00:20:37,076 --> 00:20:40,096
and I just want to tap
the base of these little fences,
421
00:20:40,096 --> 00:20:43,004
just to work them in.
422
00:20:43,004 --> 00:20:44,012
Make it look like -
423
00:20:44,012 --> 00:20:46,024
you pick up a little dark, see,
and go back in here.
424
00:20:46,024 --> 00:20:48,060
Make it look like it's
a little grassy, growing right here
425
00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:49,088
at the bottom of the foots.
426
00:20:50,088 --> 00:20:52,064
There. Little bit over here.
427
00:20:54,072 --> 00:20:58,020
And you can create
some super, super effects.
428
00:21:00,008 --> 00:21:01,044
Shoot, isn't that something?
429
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,028
That's - that's just unreal.
430
00:21:05,028 --> 00:21:08,092
It's very easy, and it's an
extremely enjoyable painting.
431
00:21:08,092 --> 00:21:11,068
I'm going to take a fan brush
and go into some,
432
00:21:11,068 --> 00:21:14,004
oh, a little bit of Van Dyke Brown,
433
00:21:14,004 --> 00:21:15,088
so Dark Sienna.
434
00:21:15,088 --> 00:21:17,068
And I'm going to reach down here,
435
00:21:17,068 --> 00:21:20,084
and dip my brush right into
some Liquid Clear.
436
00:21:20,084 --> 00:21:23,000
So now I'm making this paint
quite thin.
437
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,040
It's quite thin.
438
00:21:25,096 --> 00:21:28,092
You can probably see it looks shiny
there, it's nice and thin.
439
00:21:28,092 --> 00:21:32,016
OK, let's come right out in here,
and now let's get crazy.
440
00:21:32,016 --> 00:21:35,084
Let's just go in here,
and just literally just punch in.
441
00:21:35,084 --> 00:21:39,068
I'm just pushing very hard, making
the bristles bend upward.
442
00:21:39,068 --> 00:21:40,096
See, there?
443
00:21:40,096 --> 00:21:42,028
We're just going to punch in...
444
00:21:43,084 --> 00:21:45,076
..a few little things
here and there.
445
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:48,036
Just drop them in.
446
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,024
OK, that'll come right on out
like that.
447
00:21:54,024 --> 00:21:56,056
And then I'm going to begin
grabbing them.
448
00:21:56,056 --> 00:21:59,012
Because this paint's thin,
you can do this.
449
00:21:59,012 --> 00:22:01,000
Just with the corner of the brush,
450
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,060
and begin just pulling up
all kinds of little grassy things
451
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:05,044
here and there.
452
00:22:05,044 --> 00:22:08,000
And I'm going to also add
a touch of Yellow Ochre,
453
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,048
and begin lifting it up
here and there.
454
00:22:12,004 --> 00:22:14,036
Just lift it up, give it a pull.
455
00:22:15,096 --> 00:22:17,084
Lighter, lighter, lighter.
456
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,056
Wherever you want these things
to go, it's really up to you.
457
00:22:25,024 --> 00:22:26,084
It's really up to you.
458
00:22:29,096 --> 00:22:31,040
See there?
459
00:22:32,064 --> 00:22:34,040
And don't have all them all
just straight,
460
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,064
you can pull them so they curve
and they wiggle and they have fun.
461
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:40,084
This is going to look like
old grassy things growing here.
462
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,012
Lighter, lighter, lighter,
as it works away.
463
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,032
Because there's more shadow in
there, we want to keep that darker.
464
00:22:51,056 --> 00:22:54,084
OK, now we can go back,
pick up our large brush,
465
00:22:54,084 --> 00:22:57,072
and once again, we're going to
grab this and begin tapping.
466
00:22:58,096 --> 00:23:00,016
Just tap.
467
00:23:01,024 --> 00:23:04,000
And allow it to pick up a little bit
of that colour, and work outward.
468
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,076
This will smooth out
the whole base of it.
469
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,028
See there?
470
00:23:09,052 --> 00:23:12,060
Also, once again, it helps create
more planes in your painting.
471
00:23:14,008 --> 00:23:15,036
There we go.
472
00:23:18,012 --> 00:23:19,084
Now, this painting is so simple.
473
00:23:19,084 --> 00:23:22,048
If this is your first attempt
with Liquid Clear
474
00:23:22,048 --> 00:23:24,048
I think you will absolutely love it.
475
00:23:24,048 --> 00:23:26,072
Tell you what, let's do something
a little different.
476
00:23:26,072 --> 00:23:28,076
I normally don't do this,
but I'm going to today.
477
00:23:28,076 --> 00:23:31,084
I'm going to take a little bit of
the Liquid Clear
478
00:23:31,084 --> 00:23:35,044
on the filbert brush,
and I'm going to go right into...
479
00:23:35,044 --> 00:23:36,068
..Titanium White.
480
00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:38,028
I want this paint to be quite thin.
481
00:23:38,028 --> 00:23:40,012
Let me get a little more of
the clear.
482
00:23:40,012 --> 00:23:41,032
It's quite than.
483
00:23:42,056 --> 00:23:44,040
Quite thin. Let's go right up here.
484
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,032
Maybe back in here there lives
a few little...
485
00:23:47,032 --> 00:23:49,084
..little happy daisies. See there?
486
00:23:49,084 --> 00:23:51,092
All you got to do is just pop
them in.
487
00:23:51,092 --> 00:23:53,044
These little daisies are sample.
488
00:23:53,044 --> 00:23:55,072
That's about the easiest little
flower to make.
489
00:23:57,012 --> 00:23:59,044
Even I can make these,
and I'm not a big flower painter.
490
00:24:00,072 --> 00:24:02,092
See? Just pop them in, like so.
491
00:24:04,008 --> 00:24:06,064
And you put as many in
your painting as you want.
492
00:24:07,064 --> 00:24:09,032
Just pop them in.
493
00:24:09,032 --> 00:24:10,092
Pop 'em in.
494
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:14,020
Here's one right here.
495
00:24:17,088 --> 00:24:20,020
See? We'll have little flowers
all over here.
496
00:24:23,008 --> 00:24:25,060
But you need to keep this paint
very thin.
497
00:24:25,060 --> 00:24:28,036
Now, the other thing that this clear
is so fantastic about,
498
00:24:28,036 --> 00:24:32,088
when this paint dries,
everywhere you put Liquid Clear...
499
00:24:35,016 --> 00:24:36,048
..it will be shiny.
500
00:24:36,048 --> 00:24:38,000
It's almost like a glaze coat.
501
00:24:39,032 --> 00:24:40,088
You'll have a nice glaze to it.
502
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,064
There's one maybe lives right here.
503
00:24:46,004 --> 00:24:49,080
And I tell you, reach over here
and we'll get a little blue.
504
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,092
We'll have some... We'll have some
pretty little blue daisies, too.
505
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,084
It's very thin, very thin.
506
00:24:57,096 --> 00:25:01,012
And there's one.
He lives right there.
507
00:25:03,008 --> 00:25:04,076
Right there.
508
00:25:04,076 --> 00:25:07,068
He's got a friend over here.
509
00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:09,052
This friend's name is Henrietta.
510
00:25:11,004 --> 00:25:12,028
Over here...
511
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,080
..we have another one.
512
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,008
Just as many or as few as you want.
513
00:25:18,064 --> 00:25:21,016
As I say, you have to make
these determinations,
514
00:25:21,016 --> 00:25:23,024
and you put them
wherever you think they should be,
515
00:25:23,024 --> 00:25:25,020
because that's exactly, exactly...
516
00:25:26,036 --> 00:25:28,040
..where that little rascal
should live,
517
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,020
and just sort of look around
and see where you want them.
518
00:25:34,048 --> 00:25:36,016
Isn't that pretty, though?
519
00:25:36,016 --> 00:25:38,052
A little... Just a little
field of daisies out here,
520
00:25:38,052 --> 00:25:41,000
in front of all those trees.
521
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,068
Maybe there's one that
lives right out here.
522
00:25:45,036 --> 00:25:46,076
Just drop 'em in.
523
00:25:47,076 --> 00:25:49,076
Let them just sort of
fall off the brush.
524
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,044
I think...
Yeah, we'll have one right here.
525
00:25:55,056 --> 00:25:56,072
Look at that!
526
00:25:57,064 --> 00:26:00,024
OK, let me wipe off the brush.
527
00:26:01,032 --> 00:26:03,036
Give it a little clean.
528
00:26:03,036 --> 00:26:06,052
This is a number six filbert brush
that I'm using to do this.
529
00:26:06,052 --> 00:26:09,020
You could probably make
these with your liner brush,
530
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:11,000
without any problem, just as well.
531
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,036
I'm going to go take the filbert
brush and get a little Liquid Clear.
532
00:26:15,036 --> 00:26:19,032
I'll go right at the end,
to a touch of Yellow Ochre.
533
00:26:20,044 --> 00:26:22,052
Just load a little bit in there,
534
00:26:22,052 --> 00:26:24,072
and we'll go back and just touch...
535
00:26:24,072 --> 00:26:29,020
..give it a little bit into some of
these little daisies here.
536
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:31,028
Give it a little centre.
537
00:26:31,028 --> 00:26:32,048
See there?
538
00:26:34,088 --> 00:26:36,072
However, however many you want.
539
00:26:38,024 --> 00:26:39,076
OK.
540
00:26:39,076 --> 00:26:41,076
Now, let's take our liner brush.
541
00:26:41,076 --> 00:26:43,076
I'm going to dip it
in some paint thinner.
542
00:26:43,076 --> 00:26:45,000
Go right into the brown.
543
00:26:46,024 --> 00:26:47,080
And here and there,
544
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,092
we need to put the indication
of a few little sticks and twigs,
545
00:26:50,092 --> 00:26:54,048
and little grassy things
that grow up through here.
546
00:26:56,012 --> 00:26:58,076
Wherever, and, you know,
you put in a few little stems
547
00:26:58,076 --> 00:27:00,028
to hold your flowers up.
548
00:27:00,028 --> 00:27:01,092
You don't want them to fall over.
549
00:27:02,092 --> 00:27:04,048
See? Little stick here and there.
550
00:27:06,004 --> 00:27:07,068
Isn't that fantastic?
551
00:27:07,068 --> 00:27:10,004
Try this. I think
you'll really enjoy it.
552
00:27:10,004 --> 00:27:12,016
And from all of us here,
until next time,
553
00:27:12,016 --> 00:27:14,016
happy painting, and God bless.
