- hello, well here we go again. you ready to paint afantastic picture with me? i thought today we'd do somethingout of the rocky mountain areas, we've had a lot ofrequests for some mountains that look more like therocky mountains rather than the alaskan mountainsthat i do all the time. so, that's what we'll do today. i've also asked them to graphically run the colors that we use by,
so in case you missed themon the first or second show, this way you'll have a chanceto pick up all the colors that we have on the palette. so, let's do it. i'm gonna start off heretoday with a little bit of prussian blue. just a tiny bit of prussian blue. okay, and right at the very top we're gonna start by making x's.
just all the way across the canvass. there. now here you're allowingthe magic white to mix with the colors on yourbrush and automatically as you work downward, the sky gets lighter as you near the horizon. so, let your paint work,let the brush work. alright. there we go.
now, while i've gotblue on the brush here, i want to add a tiny bitmore blue and a little bit of thalo green, just a little bit. it's very, very strong. and we'll put some water in here. now, pull your water from theoutside toward the center. and work from bottom to top. and leave a little area openin the center right there, and it'll create a happylittle sheen of light
that plays across the water. okay. okay, now, let me wash the brush. and we wash these brusheswith odorless paint thinner. and, be sure it's odorless. okay, now, with a cleanbrush we're gonna start right in the light area, and work upward. just to blend the sky out. now, you don't wanna takeall the little actions out,
that's the reason we make theselittle crisscross strokes. don't want to take them all out, your sky'll be very, very dull. look like you pulled acurtain down at night. and the water, we just go allthe way across very gently. just enough to bring it together. okay, let's make somealmighty clouds today. i want to take the prussian blue, and the van dyke brown.
and a touch of alizarin crimson. and we mix these on the brush, just just mix them on the brush. alright, now, figure out where you wantyour almighty clouds to be. and just begin working inlittle circular patterns. and when you first touch the canvass, if it's not the color you want,stop and change the color, don't keep painting.
'cause this is your world, and you can create anythingthat you want in it. blue, brown, a little touch of crimson. just let these big ol' clouds just float around the sky and have fun. clouds are about thefree-est thing in nature. blue, brown, a touch of crimson. maybe there's anotherone right over in here. we're gonna put a couple in
so you have practicedoing a couple of 'em. okay, now, clean the brush again. okay, let's take the fan brush now, and we'll take titanium white and to that i'm gonnaadd just the smallest, smallest little bit of permanent red. now, this red is very, very strong. just want to put a littlesunlight on top of these clouds. and go right above the dark,
making little, tiny circleswith the corner of the brush. and begin building these almighty clouds. let them just flow rightoff of your fan brush. but don't stay in onearea and keep working. all you'll do is put a bigcotton ball up in the sky. leave some darks in these clouds. and you'll probably notice by now, we don't use any patternsor any guidelines, we just let it flow rightout of us onto the canvass.
this is such a free,free style of painting. alright, over here, we'llput some little highlights. the only guidelines we use in this style of painting is our imagination. okay, now, once againwith the large brush, we want to blend just the bottom out, not touch the top, yet. we will later, but not yet. just the bottom.
just blend it together a little bit. don't overwork it. very, very easy to overwork this. just enough to bring it together a little. okay, now i'm gonna fluff it up. just fluff it. now, when you fluff this thing up, if you get these littlestringies up in the sky, don't worry about them, becausewhen you blend it together,
they go away. don't overwork your clouds,they're easy to destroy. when i was a traditionalpainter clouds were one of the things that really gave me a fit. now, today we said we was going to do some big, brown, rocky-type mountains. so, let's start withstraight van dyke brown. a lot of paint on the knife, and we'll come up in hereand make an almighty peak.
ah, there we go. a lot of paint. you're just pushing thispaint onto the canvass. and decide where you want peaks. since you're creating these mountains you can put peaks and vallieswherever you want 'em. maybe there's another one right in here. just get a basic shape of the mountain. okey-dokey.
and i'm gonna use a large brush and just blend this out over the bottom. just blend it on the bottom. now, very gently, lift upward. that's good. now, we clean the brush again. now, let's take let's take burnt umber and cad yellow, and mix it together.
mix it together. let's throw a littleyellow ochre in there, too. oh, that's nice. mix it so it's marblely,don't mix it until it's dead. let all the little thingshappen in the paint. okay, now let's put somehighlights on this mountain. and all we're gonna do is touchthe canvass and let it flow. just let it flow. let's go right up here.
there, let's brightenthis one a little bit. oh, there, that's what we're looking for. and we need a highlight overhere on this happy little hill. there we are. something right there. oops, i see a little light striking that little thing right there. and here we go, here's another one. there, isn't that fun?
just let all these things happen. but you can see what'shappening in here because you didn't over mix the paint. if you'd over mixed it, youwould've had one solid color. you wouldn't have all of these pretty little things that are happening. okay, now, let's make some shadow color. i'm gonna take a little bitof white, some prussian blue, van dyke brown,
mix all that together. maybe a touch more white. there, that's what i'm looking for. and that's, prussian blue,van dyke brown, and white. okay, now let's put somehappy little shadows in here. maybe right along like this. once again, don't over mix your paint. allow all these littlethings just to happen. let the paint break, and by break,
i mean, leave all ofthese little open spots. just let it happen. look at that son of a gun. now, we need a little shadow in here. don't want to forget him. every highlight needsits own, private shadow. and a couple in here, and there. like so. now, we can go back with a little more
of the highlight color and begin building all kinds of little happy things in here. remember, every highlightneeds its shadow. there's a highlight, watch what happens when we throwa little shadow behind him. he becomes a separate entity. and maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe there's a little bit of snow still laying in some of the little shadowy areas here.
so, we take a little bit of titanium white and very gently, followingthe contour of the mountain, lay in a little bit of snow here. maybe there's a little overin this little place, too. just a tiny little bit. okay, now i'm gonna takea little bit of the blue, and white and put a little shadow right on here. just lay it right on the side.
now, with a clean knife, you just bring all this together. just bring it together. bring this one right on back down. something like so. now, i'm gonna add a littletiny bit of sap green. and just drop it rightinto the bottom area here. just like so. little bit of sap green.
and you'll see why here in just a second. now, with a clean, dry, 1-inch brush i'm just gonna begin gently lifting up. just lift it up. and do this in layers. and work it right up theside of the mountain. want to add a little bitof cad yellow to my brush so i can brighten a few little spots. a little more yellow.
just pop it in. and you bend the bristles and pop it. dup-dup-dup. just right on up. okay, maybe, maybe there's another happy little rock right out here. just let these little things happen where ever you think they should be. remember, this is your world
and you control it. little highlight color. and little, tiny bit ofshadow here and there. and then, once againwith our 1-inch brush, we begin lifting. just to bring all this together. now, maybe from this little projection, let's mix up some sapgreen, prussian blue, van dyke brown
in about equal parts. green, brown, and blue now then, with a fan brush lets put some little indications of some little evergreens back here. right about in here. we just want indications. i'm not looking for detail yet. you know, when you're showingdistance in a painting
the lack of detail is asimportant as when you're showing something that's very closeto you in the foreground and you want a lot of detail. lack of detail can be very valuable, too. just a little something like so. and then back to our little 1-inch brush, and we sort of bring all of that together. now, now. that was so much fun let's do some more.
maybe there's a little foothill that runs right down through here. so let's just start making these little indications with a fan brush. it's a good way to make alot of trees real quick. and when you see treesway off in the distance you don't see a lot of detail. you make out basiccolors and basic shapes, but that's all.
you knew that, though, i know. okay, maybe this climbs right on up here. maybe there's a nice little hill here. and while we've got thiscolor on the fan brush we'll just throw in some littlegrassy areas underneath it. now maybe there are afew evergreens here that are a little bit closer, so they're going to be alittle bit more distinct. so, maybe there's one right here.
and we touch, touch, touch, touch. and just begin building a little tree. there he comes. he's a little closer, so there's a little more detail in him. just a couple of those here and there. now, i'm going to take alittle bit of sap green, a little touch of yellow, and the tiniest, tiniestlittle bit of magic white,
just to thin it a tiny, tiny bit. and we'll begin puttingsome details in here. just a little grassy areas back in here. just run right on up the hill. follow the lay of the land. now, with a large brush, grab onto the bottomof this and pull down. just pull it down. straight down.
and then gently go across, just to give it a reflection look. okay, now. we'll take a little bit of magic white, and we'll put a very smallamount of van dyke brown in it, just to dull it down. and we'll make some happylittle water lines back here. and just let this waterline travel wherever you want it to go, the lines need
to remain basically straight. keep your water in the painting. i tell you what. today let's use the bigbrush and play a little bit. i'm going right back into this color that i used to make the evergreens. and this was equal parts ofblue, brown, and sap green. and load this brush full of paint. a lot of paint on it.
and so often we avoid this big brush, and it will do fantastic things. see there. now, let's make that into anice little evergreen tree. just use this ol' big brush. now as i teach this across thecountry, one thing i've noticed children are so fantastic to work with. because they don't know youdon't paint an evergreen
with a 2 1/2 inch brush. you tell 'em to do it, and they do it. this is such a fantasticstyle for children. my son, steve, is 17 years old now and he's been painting since he was 12. that son of a gun is an almighty painter. and he makes a happy buck or two. okay, maybe maybe another little tree right there.
just let these work rightout of your big brush. and we'll put some little grassy areas right out through here. okay, now, let's go to the other side of the canvass and really make a big tree. a lot of paint in the bristles, let's get up here in the clouds. look at that.
did you ever think you couldmake a little, bitty tree with a brush that big? pick it up and try it, that's all you really have to do. okay, now maybe, i don't want him to get lonely, i'll give him a little friend there. maybe right there, yeah. okay, while i've got thisdark paint on the brush
we'll just bring a land massright down through here. now, with a clean, dry brush,i'm just gonna grab this and pull straight down,create some reflections. come across very gently. let's put some little tree trunks in here. use burnt umber, a little,tiny bit of white in it. we'll come right along here on these trees and just here and therelay in a trunk indication. now, in case you missed the last show
i'd like to re-mentionagain, if there's something you want to see, dropus a line, let us know. we would really like topaint the type of scenes and the places that you want to see. and you can drop us a line wipb, muncie, indiana and we'll certainly beglad to hear from you. okay now, let's take a tiny bit of magic white,
little yellow, and sap green. yellow and sap green. and let's put a few littletrees here and there. just let them fall in. maybe there's one lives right out here. there's one. just happy little things. let's take
the large brush little magic white on it, and i'm gonna go right into this yellow. right into the yellow. load a lot of paint into the bristles. and sap green. put the yellow on firstand then the green on top. and let's, let's put some highlights on these big trees here.
just let that brush bounce and play where you think light'sgoing to strike these trees. in your world you even control the light. oh, look at them son of a guns. now, let's take a littlemore of the green and yellow and pop these reflectionsright into the water. i'm going back to my fan brush with yellow and green on it. and sort of begin bringingall this together.
just touch. bend the brush upward. i'm gonna take a littleof the van dyke brown and burnt umber mixed, and create a little bank here. a little bit of highlightout of brown and white with the least, leastlittle touch of blue. just to give it a little flavor. little magic white.
and we'll throw a happylittle water line in here. and with a nice, clean, dry brush pull this down a little. just to create somenice little reflections. and back to my fan brush. a little magic white onit to thin the paint. and we'll bring a few littlethings right down like that. isn't that something.
now, let's go right over here. create some little grassy things up here, and the sun shining. oooh, look at all those little things. and they happen so quickly. maybe, maybe, maybe. maybe we can put a happy little stone right out here on this. it just looks to me likea good place for a stone.
and we'll take a little bit ofthe mountain highlight color and just put a littlehighlight on that stone. and let a little bit of it come downward. little bit of grass underneathit, so it comes together. now, i'm gonna take the point of the knife put a few little sticks here and there. just a few. and maybe. maybe i'll add one more little bush here.
looks to me like he needs another one. right in here, just to separate these two. and we can put, maybe there's some little dirt in here. little rocky things showingthrough here and there. put a little bit of highlight on that. and with our green and yellow, just gently pop a fewlittle things in there. and i think we've justabout got that one finished.
the old clock on the wall's telling me i gotta get outta here,so i'll sign this one. i'd like to wish you happy painting. next week we'll do a white canvass. so, have your canvass on your easel and be ready to go with us. happy painting. (gentle music)
