All language subtitles for The Joy of Painting - 1x14 - _track3_[eng]

Hi, glad you could join me today.

Ready to do a fantastic painting
together? Well, let's get started.

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

that you need to
paint along with me.

While they're doing that,
let's go on up here.

We've got the canvas set up,
we have it covered with a thin,

even coat of liquid white, and it's
all ready, so let's get started.

Start out today
with a two-inch brush.

Go right into a little tiny,
tiny bit of the Phthalo Blue.

And reach over here and grab
a little bit of the Midnight Black.

And then I'm going to go down here,
and the least little touch

of Yellow Ochre, so we have blue,
black, and a little Yellow Ochre.

Let's go right up to the
canvas here.

Let's put us in
a happy little sky today.

Just use little crisscross strokes,

just so it'll float
across the canvas.

Just make all those
happy little things.

Maybe skip a space,
and then we'll come down here.

We'll have a cloud or two
in there, just sort of skip a space.

And go right on, like that.

OK. While we have that brush
going...

Put a little water. We're going to
do the little animated opening.

That's the little painting
that you see go blip, blip, blip

at the beginning of the show.

So I'll show you
how that one was done.

All right.
There's a little water in it,

so we want a little
touch of water right here.

And this may not be an
exact duplicate of the opening,

but it'll show you how it was made.

They gave me quite a bit of time
to paint that.

And then some fantastic people
animated it -

they do that one frame at a time,
so it just sort of comes alive.

There we go.

OK, and that will be our water,
right in there.

All right. I'll wash the brush.
Give it a good scrub.

Shake it off.

Beat the devil out of it.
Cover everybody in the studio here.

I'm going to go right into...
Right into titanium white.

Pull that brush through the paint,
get a lot of paint on it.

Let's make a happy little cloud up
in the sky. Let's go right up here.

And we will just
work in a little cloud.

I don't want a big, bright cloud.

I just want a tiny little cloud
that floats right around here,

and has some fun.

Just sort of work him in. This
is just straight titanium white.

Little circles.

See there?

And we'll have another little cloud,
lives right here.

Clouds just sort of float around
and have fun, so they're free.

They're really free.

There we are.

That quick. That quick. We have
a happy little cloud in the sky.

Now, with a clean brush...

I have several of each brush going,

so I don't have to spend
a lot of time washing all of them.

..just blend it out a little.

Just little circles,
give it a fluff.

And if you remember that little
painting

at the beginning of each show,

there's not a whole bunch of sky
that's going to be left showing,

so we don't have to worry a great
deal about it today.

Knock off the excess paint there.

Blend it out.

And we're ready to go.

That quick,
we have a happy little sky.

Now, then.

Make some little background trees.

For that, I will take a little
touch of Prussian Blue,

Midnight Black, shoot through
with a little brown in there too.

A little touch of the Yellow Ochre.

Just a small amount of ochre
and it will turn green on you.

And let's pull a little bit out

and into that I'm going to add
Titanium White.

There we go.

Maybe a little more white.

Just like so.
That's a good colour. OK.

Clean off my knife here.

Today, let's use the old fan brush.
We'll load it full of paint.

A lot of paint, both sides.
Just go right up here.

We had some little
background evergreens.

To start off, take the brush
and just sort of work

back and forth, back and forth,
back and forth.

See? Put in the centres. Put in
as many or as few as you want.

And then come back.

That easy.

Turn all those little sticks
into happy little evergreens.

These are far away,

so you're not looking for
a lot of detail back here.

Not looking for a great deal.

There.

And, ooh, there's another one.

There's another one.

You could make these
with a one inch brush.

Works very well.
Or a two-inch brush.

There.

The same way, just load the brush
to a chisel edge and take off.

There we go.

Let's have one more,
right there. What the heck.

They're so much fun, you start
to get carried away with them.

That easy. That easy. You can
make a whole little forest.

Now, we can tap that.

Just tap it.

Give it a little upward lift.

It will create the illusion
of mist and fog,

and all kinds of
pretty little things.

Take the same colour.

I'm going to add a little touch
of the Van Dyke Brown to it.

The tiniest little amount.
Tap the brush into it.

Let's go right up here.

There. And we will make a little...

..a little bit of land
comes right down through there.

And this helps sort of
push everything back,

creates another plane
in the painting.

Creates that illusion of depth
that we talk about all the time.

It's very important in painting.

Now, while we have
this on the brush, grab it,

and just pop it straight down.

Just give it a snap. See there?

Some over here. Very lightly.
Very lightly.

Go across, and we have
instant reflections. That easy.

Now, then, let me take a little
liquid white, pull that out,

cut across it, and let's go right up
here and we will just cut it in.

Using a very firm pressure here.

We'll just cut in some
happy little water lines.

That easy. There we go.
Another one right in here.

Wherever you want them to go.

And maybe, see look here, we know
there's going to be a tree there,

so you can put one there

and it'll look like there's
something happening there,

but you don't have to waste a lot of
time.

You'll understand a little better
when we go further,

it'll make sense,
I'm not totally crazy.

Sometimes I doubt that.

There we go.

Now, then.
We can begin building onto this.

So let's take a two-inch brush and
go right into some Van Dyke Brown.

A little Dark Sienna.

Just sort of work them together,

maybe even pick up a little black,
what the heck.

Whatever makes you happy.

We're looking just basically
for a dark colour, OK?

Now, right up in here we had a bush,
or a tree.

It starts out as a bush
and if it gets big enough,

then we call it a tree.

And trees will cover up a multitude
of sins. They are your friends.

See there?
Brings that whole corner together.

That easy.

A little more of the colour.

See, now, that projects out,

and it makes it look
like it goes back around.

That easy. Sneaky, huh?

While we have this on the brush,

once again
let's just tap it downwards,

and we can create...

We can create a happy little
reflection. That easy.

That easy.

I used to be a traditional painter

and I would work as hard making
these reflections

as you can believe.

I would work herself to death
trying to make them, shoot.

Reflections are one of
the nicest things that happen.

I'm going back into that
good old dark colour,

and let's come right in here.

Let's have a little thing comes
out.. See it, right there?

Right there.

Just drop it right in.

Shoot, while we have the brush
going, let's just keep going here.

Let's just keep it going. It is
a big, strong tree. It lives here.

Mm!

No, sometimes
you can get carried away

and just cover up the whole canvas,
and that's all right.

As long as you practise.

Because if there is a secret to
painting, it certainly is practice.

That's the only secret there is

because we show you everything
you need to know here

to do fantastic paintings.

All you need to do is take what
we give you, practise a little bit.

And just do all kinds
of unbelievable things.

Straight down, across,

and that quick, we have
a happy little reflection there.

Now then, I will take...
Here's my other brush.

This was the same old colour
we made these trees out of.

Let's just come back in here,

behind here, in case
some of this shows through.

We'll make the indication
of distant, distant trees.

These are far, far away.

A couple of those may show through.

A couple of them may not - we may
just cover them up. Who knows?

We'll take some brown.

Now, let's come right in here,
and we can just...

Shoot, we can paint this on,
just like we was painting a barn.

Just... La-la-la la-la-la.
Paint it on.

This is going to be our path.

Remember,
there's a little path in there.

Just like so.

And we had all kinds of happy little
things growing along the path.

And all we're doing here
is just blocking in colour.

We're just blocking it in.

We'll come back
and put in all the little highlights

and the little...the
little sparklers in there.

Another little tree
lives right there.

See there?

That quick. You can
block in an entire painting.

And all we're doing is
just putting in the dark.

Got to have the dark
so the light will show.

Look at that.

All right.

Maybe...

Maybe, maybe,
maybe right down in here,

I want that to be good and dark.

There's a lot of shadows
under there.

A lot of shadows.

OK, moving right along here...

I told you
this was a fun little painting.

I like this painting.

Take the liner brush
with thinner on it,

go right into our Van Dyke Brown.
You want this paint to be thin.

Thin like ink.

Pull it out, turning it,
bring it to a nice point, OK?

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

and just put the indication here and
there of a happy little tree trunk.

And a limb or two
here and there. Like so.

There we go.

There. One there.

Wherever, wherever, wherever.

I tell you what...

..maybe, I think there was...

Yeah, there was
a big tree lived right there,

and we just pull that
right straight down.

Then let's put
a few little limbs on it.

Like that.

See there?

See how easy those little limbs are?

And you put as many
or as few as you want in there.

This is your tree, so you have
to make the big decision.

Are there a few limbs,
a lot of limbs, no limbs?

Whatever.

Any way you want it, you can do it.

You can do it.

Just like so.

And you could even,
even in here, see?

Most of these will be covered up,
but maybe a couple of them

will show through.

And it'll look like
you have all kinds of little

details in your painting.

Now, when I'm doing these,
sometimes I pull down,

sometimes I pull upwards,
just whichever way feels right,

whichever way works for you.

That's the way to do it.

That's the way. There's one.

See all the little sticks
and things?

But let them get smaller
as they go back,

and already you're beginning
to see distance in this painting.

Already.

Just by putting those
few little sticks and twigs,

it looks like
you could go back in there.

We want to hang around here
for just a second.

Wash the old liner brush off.

Let's begin playing here.

OK, grab the old two-inch brush.

Let's go into some yellow,
and some Yellow Ochre.

Reach over here and I'll grab
a touch of the bright red.

Load the brush full of paint.
Just tap it.

Tap it, tap it.
OK, let's go right back up here.

Let's begin putting
some beautiful fall colours

in some of these trees, see?

All you do is just use
the corner of the brush

and make little clumps,
little patterns here.

Don't just hit it random.

Sort of think about what
you're doing. Look at it.

See the little clumps?
That's what separates the tree.

It gives it individuality.

Practise that a little bit

because that's what'll
make your tree stand out.

It'll really make it spectacular.

Down here,
we have all kinds of little bushes.

Just all kinds of them.

Shoot, here's a nice one. Then you
do layer after layer after layer.

Do one bush at a time.

Don't get in a big hurry
and try to do them all at once.

There you go.
I knew you could do it.

I knew you could do it.

Now, once in a while, dip your brush
into a little bit of paint thinner.

That will thin your paint down,

and make it stick easier.

Like here,
put some very bright highlights,

make that little bush stand out.

Just dip in a little thinner
so it sticks nice and easy.

And wherever you have
to make those big decisions.

And maybe over here,
there's some more.

See all those little things?

That's the way they go.

Maybe back in here.

I want these to be very loose -
I don't want to lose all those.

See, all those little sticks
create distance.

I don't want to lose those.
These are very loose.

They're just little things, just
sort of floating around back here,

we don't even see exactly
what they're connected to.

Aren't those pretty?

And you can do all of this with
just a big old two-inch brush.

You could also do it with
a one-inch brush, or a round brush.

I just want to show you today
what you could do with a big brush.

There's a nice sparkler.
That's a pretty son of a gun.

Look at that. See? Forward, forward,
forward, always coming forward.

Always working forward.

Layer after layer, bush after bush.

And that's how you create
the distance in your painting.

I know you're tired of hearing me
say that, but...

..that...

..to me is what makes
good paintings,

paintings that have
distance and depth.

I look for that in paintings.

There we go.

There. See that? Look how much
distance is showing there.

Just because we layered it,
and went back, back, back.

OK, let's put some dirt in there.

We need something
for all that to sit on.

Don't want it to fall in the water
and make a big splash.

Just plain old Van Dyke Brown here.

Look at that.

Just sort of bounce it along, let
the canvas pull off what it wants.

It'll give you back what's left.

Wherever you want it to be.
See there, you can do it.

Now, we'll take some white,
little Dark Sienna,

little touch of blue,

and just mix it a little bit.
Don't overmix it.

Just enough so it's sort of marbled.

Just go up here and sort of
let this bounce along and play.

Create all kinds of little things.

Looks like little stones
and hills and bumps.

OK. Just wherever, wherever.

Maybe where you live,
maybe stones and rocks and dirt

are a different colour,

so you change the colours
to match what you want.

All we want to do here is show
you how. What you do is up to you.

Because painting is...
Oh, it's an individual thing.

And it should make you happy.

It should set you free.

And I think, if you're like me,
we're all looking for freedom.

We're looking for an escape,
someplace that's nice,

there's no pollution,
nobody's mad.

It's a happy place.
It's a happy place.

And that's what you create
on your canvas. A happy place.

I talk too much.

Fan brush. Get a little green
through in there.

Yellows. Just whatever happens
down here. Load that brush full.

Let's go up here.
Now then, let's follow right down,

look at there.

Just push upwards. See?

Use the corner of the brush.

If you use the whole brush,
you'll get smiley faces.

If you start getting smiley faces,
turn your brush more to the corner.

More to the corner.
OK, over here...

Put in a few little things.
Let's put some dirt over here.

This side's getting left out.

There it comes.

There it comes.

See there?

And maybe some of it
sneaks right on back up in there.

Some highlights.

Dark Sienna, white, a little
touch of blue here and there.

Very little blue, though.
Just want to grey it.

The blue's just to grey it.

Just to grey it.
A little liquid white.

Come right in here. See there?
Put a little waterline in there.

You can do it.

That quick.

Then we come right in
with our fan brush,

and bring all this together.

Isn't it neat?

OK.

All right,
a few little bushes hanging over.

Maybe there's a couple of the little
things that live right here

and just sort of hang over.

Wherever you want them.

Wherever you want them.

OK. Tell you what, let's do...
Let's play with the path.

Now, I want to make it look like

there's a little bit of light
that's zinging through here

and hitting right back here,

so I'm going to use almost pure
white

because it'll mix with the brown.

It'll mix with the brown.

And it'll get darker, darker,
darker as it comes around.

I want to add a little
touch of Dark Sienna in there,

start blending that all together.

Maybe a little light
zinging through there.

That's one of them happy accidents.

There.

See, just...bring it
right on out like that.

Now, then...

Now, then, let me
wash my fan brush here.

Dry it off on the paper towel.

Now, very lightly,
just want to barely touch...

Just caress the canvas. I want to
just bring all this together.

This is a thick paint, so you can do
this and get away with it.

See?
See how smooth it brings it all in?

Without destroying.

You don't lose all these things, you
just blend them in and soften them.

OK. Now, then, we can go back...

Let's bring all kinds of little
happy bushes

that hang right over the path

and that'll push the path right down
into the painting, so it fits.

See there?

And now,
you feel like it belongs there.

There we go.

And you can put as many or as few,
whatever.

Shoot, I'm going to get this brush
going,

I'm going to add a little red,
start to make an orangey colour.

And back up in here,
just barely touching,

I'm just going to put the indication

of all kinds of little things
happening back up in this big tree.

There they go.

See them?

Just little indications. We're not
looking for a lot of detail here.

Most of this also will be
covered up.

We're going to put some big,
fantastic trees in there.

Big old trees.

I'm going back into some dark paint.

This is the blue and the black,

a little tiny bit of Sap Green
on the fan brush.

In the opening, we had a little
evergreen that lived right here,

I believe right about there.

So we just drop him right in.

Maybe he lives
right in front of that tree.

Like that.

And...

A little tree trunk.

We can put a few little grassy
things in front of him.

That'll push it
back into the painting.

OK.

Let's do some...
Let's do some big trees.

Shoot, haven't got time to really
get crazy in here.

Van Dyke Brown on the fan brush.
Lot of paint.

Let's go right up here.

OK.

Zip! Now, if you don't make that
noise, it won't work.

There's one tree there.

One tree there.

And you can put as many or as few as
you want. Here's a big son of a gun.

Big old tree.

Big old tree.

And we'll give him a friend.

Shoo!

Great big tree.

And right over here, one more tree.

Now...

Let's take some Titanium White
and just grab this,

pull it right around.

See here?

There we go.

Just put some bark on that tree.

Just some bark on it.

That's what a dog says. Bark-bark!

Put some on that one.

Just give it a pull here.

I want some on this tree here.

Up we go.

Some on the other side.

Like that.

And you can just work that together.

There.

Now, back to our liner brush.

Back to our liner brush,
we go right into Van Dyke Brown.

And let's put a few little
limbs on these trees.

Here we go.

You want this paint to be very,
very thin.

Almost like water.

You want it
so thin that it just flows.

Drop in however many limbs you want.

Just drop them in.

You know, I'd like to thank all
the people who have wrote

and sent us cards and letters

and we get hundreds of ideas
from people all over the country.

They send us
photographs or postcards of stuff

they'd like to see painted
and that's where a lot

of the ideas for these paintings
come from, is from people all over.

And I use ideas.

I'd like to hear what it is that you
want painted. Let us know.

If you don't tell us,
we have to guess.

There. See there?

When the paint's thin, you can just
put as many of these in as you want.

Just drop them in.

There.

And we don't want this little
tree to be left out.

Give him
a few little limbs out here.

Now, these sort of look like birch
trees and if in your painting,

you want them
to be oaks or whatever,

maybe you wanted maples in your
tree so it looks like your area.

Do that, put them in.

It's your world
and you really can do anything.

I'm going to take a little white and
put in a few little ones right here.

Look like little sticks and twigs.
Just put them in.

See?

That easy. You can
put in all kinds of them.

Now, then...

Knock a little of that
paint off my big brush.

I'm going to go right in.

Let me get a little paint thinner
on my brush, so the paint's thin.

Cad Yellow. Just tap my big brush.

And let's go in here
and drop in some beautiful,

beautiful little leaves
that are just on these trees here.

And just use the very corner of the
brush. Put in as many as you want.

Here's some over here,
let them float around.

Wherever you think they should be.

And the old clock on the wall
is telling me

I'd better stop for today.

So I'll just drop in a few
more leaves.

Tell you how much I enjoyed
painting this for you today.

And I look forward to
seeing you again,

and from all of us here,
happy painting, God bless.
