Hi! I'm glad to see you today.

Today, I thought we'd do something
that's a little bit different

and we'll just have a good time.

Before we get started, I'm going to
have them graphically

run all the colours you need right
across your screen

and you can see exactly what
colours I have in my palette

and it'll come across on the screen
starting with the white,

and going right around.

Same way I have them on the palette.

And today I'm going to use just a
dry canvas

and we'll have some fun with that.

I'm going to dip my brush into a
little bit of paint thinner

and I'm going to go right into some
thalo blue,

just a small amount,

and I want this paint
to be very thin.

I'm just going to put a quick little
wash on the canvas.

Just a little bit of colour.

There we go.

This is just a little thalo blue.

There's a lot of paint
thinner on this.

Very, very thin...

..and it'll dry on your
canvas quite rapidly.

I want a little bit of this blue
colour to show through my painting

and it'll make it very nice.

There we go.

Just cover the whole canvas with it.

There we are.

That quickly, we have the canvas
completely covered with colour

and we can start having some fun.

Now, when you're doing this at home,

try numerous colours.

Burnt umber, Van Dyke brown,
Prussian blue...

All of these colours
work very, very nice

and they're very, very transparent.

OK? I'll wash the brush...

There we go.

..and let's have some fun,
let's have some fun.

Let's take some titanium white...

..and put it on the knife.

I'm just going to pull
it out very flat...

..and then cut across.

Get a little bit of paint right out
here on the end of the knife.

OK, let's go up here.

Let's put some happy little clouds
staying up here in the sky.

Angles are very important.

And we'll take a little thalo blue

and alizarin crimson.

Mix it together...

..and we'll make a little purple-ish
colour, a little blue...

..and alizarin crimson.

And the blue's many, many times
stronger than the crimson.

OK, let's go right up here and we'll
add a little bit

of shadow, here and there.

Don't want a great deal.

Just drop this in.

Go right into the white...

..and begin just letting all these
colours just play together.

We'll make some great, big, fluffy,
soft clouds

just floating around out here.

And allow these colours to mix.

Don't fight it. Let it happen.

Let it happen.

There we go.

Maybe this big old cloud just
runs right on off the canvas?

This is your cloud so you let
it go wherever you want it to.

Now, you can paint this entire
painting with a knife,

if you want to.

And it's super, super good practice
to learn how to control the knife.

Or you can do part with a knife,
part with a brush...

..whatever makes you happy.

And we just go right over these
purple-ish colours

and some of them will bleed through

and makes some beautiful things
happen.

There.

OK, let's go right up here.

And, if you want the
colour to be darker,

you continue to rub it.

If you want it to be nice
and bright and shiny,

put it on, leave it
alone, get away from it.

So, you just don't keep working it.

If you keep working it,
it'll get very, very dull

and go away and leave you.

It'll pick up all the under-colour,

so you have to make
these big decisions.

OK, maybe...? Yeah, there it is.

I love to do paintings with a knife.

Really, really teaches
you how to use a knife.

Tell you what, I'm going to take the
least little amount of yellow ochre.

I mean, the tiniest,
tiniest little bit.

Add a little bit of colour,
just to break it up.

Now, you don't want to get
much of this yellow ochre

cos it will touch the
blue and you'll have

a nice, green sky,
and we don't want that.

But a little bit of gold
colour in the sky is very pretty.

Just adds a little flavour to it.

There we go.

Mm.

Some almighty clouds.

And they're very simple to
do and a great deal of fun.

OK.

And that easy, that easy.

We've got a fantastic little sky.

It's very, very effective.

Don't want to kill all this blue
wash that you put on, here.

Leave some of that showing.

So, you have areas that are very
thick, areas that are thin...

Really makes your painting
interesting.

OK.

Now, you could even take a brush
and...

..go back over this and really blend
it if you wanted to.

I want to leave it a little bit
rough.

I like paintings that have texture
to them.

OK.

Maybe...maybe back in here there's
a...

..maybe there's a happy little hill.

I'll just use this same purple-ish
colour, that was...

..thalo blue and alizarin crimson.

There we go.

Now, this colour will
look black to you

so, if you want to test it, put a
little white and put over here.

There. And then you can see what
colour it is.

Otherwise, it's just
going to look black,

and that's a pretty good colour,
that's about what I'm looking for.

OK, and let's go right up here

and maybe...maybe there
lives a nice little hill.

Just a little, soft, gentle hill.

And I'm really, really pushing
that paint into the canvas.

There.

There we go.

And then you can just very gently
rub it to make it smooth.

You know, when we
look at knife paintings,

a lot of times knife paintings are
so rough that you have to be

a long way off to even
recognise what it is.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

You can make very delicate, soft,
soothed, smoothed paintings...

..just using the knife.

Practice with it.

OK, now I'm going to
take a bit permanent red

and a little white.

And maybe we'll put the least little
bit of highlight here and there.

I don't want a great deal.

We'll have our light
coming from the left to there.

Little permanent red,
tiny bit of white.

Just enough to put a small
amount of highlight up here.

There we go.

And just blend it together.

OK.

Now, this is just a little titanium
white, right on the bottom

cos I want the bottom of
my little hills to be

a little bit lighter than the top.

Tell you what, let's
play a little here.

I'm going to use the
same purple-ish colour

but I've added white to it so it's
a little bit lighter in value.

And maybe over here there's a...

Maybe there's a hill that's further
away? We'll put it behind, there.

So, it should be a
little lighter in value.

As things get closer to you in a
landscape, they should get darker.

So, we'll just drop this one in.

That's far, far away.

And it's very soft and very quiet
back here.

Then we can bring this one right
down in front of it.

You see, this one's darker,

so it stands out
against the lighter one.

And, that easy, you can make a
beautiful little hill back here.

Take a little bit of the light
colour along the bottom.

And this is just titanium white
added right down to the bottom.

Blended all together.

There we go.

Little more of the permanent red

and we'll put a
little highlight right up there...

..so there's a little on this hill.
We don't want it to be left out.

Follow the angles.
Always follow these angles.

OK.

Now, then.

Let's begin playing with some little
grassy areas that are way back

in the back, so I'll
take some cad yellow,

little yellow ochre in it,

got some sap green.

Looking for quite a
dark green colour, here.

Just about like so.

OK, let's go right up
to the canvas, here.

Maybe there's some little
background trees that...

..just live right along here.

And all I'm doing is just barely,
barely touching the canvas.

Let these little trees just
fall right off your knife.

We'll add a little burnt umber to
that colour...

..so it's not the same all over.

You need to darken it
down right here on the bottom.

Just barely touching the canvas.

There we go. Little more paint...

Just let these happen.

There.

Little bit over in here...

But it's unbelievable what you can
do, just using a big old knife.

And try some of these.
I think you'll find them

very, very enjoyable.

And they do good
things to your heart.

Make you happy.

Make you happy...

OK.

It'll give us a little indication of
some trees that are far, far away.

Add the least little bit of white
down here, we can bring this over.

So, I'm just using that same colour.

I'll just add a little white to it.

Then begin pulling it.

Pull...

There. Now, angles are very, very
important when you're doing this.

Pay close attention to your angles.

There we go.

Right up here.

OK.

As it goes further away, let it
get lighter and lighter in value

and I want this part here
to look like it's far away

and this whole other side
is getting closer to you.

Then I'll take a
little permanent red...

..and just very gently add a
little of that here and there.

Just to break it up.

A little Indian yellow.

It's very transparent.

You just work these
colours back and forth,

make all these pretty
little things happen.

OK, now, over here...

..this is closer to you,
so I'm going to add...

..more sap green. I want this
side over here to be darker.

It's closer, so it should be darker.

But you still need to
follow those basic angles.

They're very, very important.

Maybe it just comes
right around like that...?

Wherever you want it to go.

OK, now...

..it's much, much darker here.

And blend it together, we don't want
to have a distinct line there.

We just want it to gently,
gently blend together.

OK.

Now, then.

I'm going to mix up some black and,
to make that, we'll use some

thalo green and alizarin crimson.

Thalo green, alizarin crimson.

In about equal parts.

Just mix them together.

And this colour needs to be
mixed together very well.

And normally we don't worry
much about mixing colour.

Mix this one very good.

When you're mixing, pick it
completely up off your palette

and turn it over.

OK?

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

And we can start making some big
decisions.

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

There we go.

Put some water in here.

So we need to define
where water and land meet.

This'll be our little bank when it's
done.

Need a nice, dark colour
to set it off.

Let's take a little
of that colour...

..and just work it right down into
the canvas, here.

Just pull it down.

Just like so.

OK, then we'll take...

..the two and a half inch brush

and just grab some of this and pull.

Just enough to pull it down.

This'll end up being some
reflections in the water.

And pick up some of that dark green
colour,

all the colours, pick them up...

..cos they all reflect into the
water,

and just pull it straight down.

When this canvas is dry, it won't
pull as well as it normally....

..normally would do with the Magic
White.

We're just looking for some dark
colour in the water here.

OK.

Now, then.

We'll take some white...

..and a little thalo blue in it.

White with a little thalo blue.

Pull it out very flat...

..and just cut across. Get that
little roll of paint

right round the edge of the knife.

Let's go right up here.

Now we can begin making some
decisions here, where our water is.

And we just lay a
little bit of this...

..blue-ish colour right over
the top of the reflections.

You don't want to cover
them all up, though.

Don't want to lose them all.

Just want to make it look like
water...

..without killing everything.

There we go.

Just, sort of, work it back and
forth, play with it.

OK, keep these lines basically
straight.

Water's always looking for...

..a place to be nice and level.

So keep these lines straight.

And you can put as many of these in
your water as you want

or works for you.

Either way...

..step back and look at your
painting every so often,

it gives you a whole
different view of it.

Sometimes, when you're painting,
you stay too close to it

and your really can't see it.

Step back.

OK.

Now we can...

I'm going to firm up these little
edges here a little.

Just a touch.

This is just the black colour.

Thalo green, alizarin crimson.

OK, let me clean my knife
and we can just very lightly...

..bring this colour right down on
top of it and smooth everything out

and bring it together.

There we go.

Allow these colours just, sort of,
to mix and to blend

and all kinds of nice things happen.

Don't fight it.

And the more you rub this with a
knife...

..the softer and more gentle it
becomes

and all the colours blend together
very smoothly.

And you can make paintings that...

..people almost won't believe you've
done them with a knife.

They'll think you've done them with
a very, very soft brush.

OK, maybe...

Tell you what, maybe go right into
some sap green.

Maybe there's a little tree that
lives right here.

This is just sap green.

I'm using the little edge of the
knife.

Both edges work.

There we go.

Maybe he's got a friend that lives
right over here.

And once again you have to make
these big decisions.

How many trees live in your world?

Drop them in.

We'll take just a tiny bit of cad
yellow now...

..and just put a little highlight on
this tree,

so he stands out and sparkles, sun
shining on him.

A big, strong, happy tree out here.

Little shadow area right behind the
tree.

Remember where your light's coming
from...

..and just put a little indication
of a shadow.

OK.

Now we've got to do something over
here on the other side

and make some big decisions.

Maybe? Maybe, maybe.

Tell you what, let's just take some
more of this black colour

that we have, that's going so well.

And maybe, maybe, maybe...

..comes right down here...

..and maybe there's a little
projection that's...there it is.

Comes right out on the water,
like that.

And need some colour underneath
that.

And once again I'll take this old
big brush...

..and you can do this with a knife.

I'm doing it with a brush because
it's a little bit faster.

But you can certainly do it using a
knife.

And we'll add a little bit of the
water over the top of that.

This is thalo blue, titanium white.

And back to our dark colour
and we can...

..continue this.

There it is, comes right down
through there.

You knew it all the time, didn't
you?

And I'm just putting the dark in so
light will show.

You need the dark in order to show
light.

A lot of paint here.

Just fill all this up.

And now we can go right into some
sap green.

Begin pulling.

A little bit of yellow ochre.

Just sort of mix these colours...

..right on your knife.

And you can make them as bright or
as dull as you want them.

If you want them duller cos there's
black underneath,

just keep rubbing.
It will get duller because it will
pick up

that colour that's underneath...

..and automatically that happens...

..if you put yellow on top of this
black colour

because yellow and black make green.

Automatically, you'll get a nice
green colour.

Automatically.

There.

And maybe there's some happy little
things

that grow right along this edge.

Just let your knife bounce around
and play.

OK.

OK, maybe...tell you what, let's
have some fun.

Maybe there's...

..a big old tree, here.

Let's use some Van Dyke brown and
put a little burnt umber into it.

Pull it out very flat.

Get that little roll of paint and
maybe, maybe, maybe...

..yep, right there.

It's a big old tree lives right
here.

It goes right on off the canvas,
maybe.

There. Put some...

..some tree trunks right up through
the sky.

This is where we check and see if
you're brave

and go right through your sky with
these big, brown trunks.

OK, tell you what.

Let's give him another arm.

And you can put as many arms on
your tree as you want.

It's your tree.

Your world.

Let it go.

Maybe...maybe there's another little
arm that lives...

..right there.

Or whatever.

And just some indications.

And they can...

..put a few little arms here and
there.

There might even be a little one
right here.

Trees just grow however makes them
happy.

So that's what they should do when
you're painting them.

Makes you grow on your painting.

Any way that makes you happy.

It's your tree.

OK, we'll put a few little arms
right up through here.

There.

Now we need a little bit of
highlight on there.

I'll use...I'll use...

..a little permanent red, little
burnt umber.

I'm going to add a little yellow
ochre into that, too.

There, that'll brighten it up.

Little bit of paint.

And we set our lights coming from
the left.

So let's just highlight this tree on
the left side.

And all I'm doing is just
touching.

Just touch.

The canvas will pull off what it
wants...

..and give you back what's left.

Just some little highlights.

And, if you want to do this painting
with a brush,

you can certainly do all this with a
little liner brush

or even a fan brush would work very
well.

OK. Now, then, we need...

Let's put some leaves on this tree,
huh?

A little red into some sap green.

I'll add some Van Dyke brown to my
sap green,

just to dull it down very dark.

And maybe, maybe...

Just use the knife. We've done so
much with the knife.

It will just drop in some basic
little things, here and there.

And, once again, you can do all this
with a...

..with your brush.
It'd work just as well.

Just to keep it together,
we'll use a knife.

And you can put as many leaves as
you want in your tree.

Just let them go.

See? There they are.

As thick as you want them, as thin
as you want them.

And we'll take a little bit of...

..light colour, a little yellow with
green.

You can drop a little highlight on
here

and we...I think we've about got a
finished painting.

The old clock on the wall says,
"Bob, you've got to go."

Got to go.

So, we'll call this painting
finished...

..and I really hope you've enjoyed
it.

It'll give you a challenge.

And, until next week,
happy painting. God bless.
