welcome I'm certainly glad you could join me today thought today we'd just do a fantastic little painting that I think you'll really enjoy so let's have them graphically run all the colors across the screen that you need to do this project with me and we'll go on up here and get started while they're doing that I've already covered the canvas with a nice thin even coat of the liquid white it's wet and slick and it's all ready to go so let's let's do the same thing today I'm going to start with a small amount of the phthalo blue on the 2in brush and just tap it see really tap it firmly we'll pick up a little bit of the midnight black and add it in there too so we have phthalo blue and midnight black okay let's go right up here now then using the little crisscross Strokes little X's little X's just like so just begin dropping in a happy little sky and do these little X's see little X's there that's just the way the teacher used to grade my paper in school schol she just run across it and go just think about that when you're doing it little excess okay and as it works down it picks up the liquid white and automatically it gets lighter as it goes down lighter and lighter there we go and today I'm just going to throw in a quick little background because I want to I want to spend some time playing in in the foreground just want to have some fun so we'll just blend out the brush strokes and that quick we have a happy little background now then let's have just a little Rolling Hill back here we just use the same old dirty brush it's all right go right into the the phthalo blue reach over here and pick up a little bit of a lizin crimson and a little white so we have blue a lizard crimson and white and we're making sort of a sort of a lavender color about like so that's good let's go right up here all right now maybe there's a little Hill and he lives there he is you can just use this brush you could use a fan brush or a 1in brush it doesn't matter all we're doing is applying a little color here this is just a little Hill that's way back in the distance and let it get lighter and lighter as it works downward there we go see there and automatically mixing with that liquid white that happens you don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about it or planning it let it happen let it happen we don't make mistakes we have happy accidents you learn to use everything that happens okay and that quick we have a distant little hill now then same old dirty brush go into a little bit of the the vanc brown little touch of dark Sienna same old dirty brush and I'm just tapping it that's all there is to it just tap it and maybe back in here maybe we'll have a little Hill that runs like that and now all I'm doing is putting in some dark color so when I put a lighter color on top it'll show and that Hill he lives right there okay now then same old dirty brush I'm going to go right into a little bit of the yellow ochre little CAD yellow little Indian yellow just all the yellows and I'm going to reach up here and grab a little sap green so I have all the yellows and a little sap green and just tap that brush into the color tap it firmly okay let's go back up here now then just barely touch see just touch it's all there is to it and this is where you begin creating the lay of the land make the little Hill this is a little Rolling Hill and we just make him roll here see there just tapping just tap a't that super easy and it's a lot of fun just keep adding a little more color if you go back let me show you here let me show you you get a little bit of brighter color watch see now you can divide this up cuz it's not just perfectly flat if you want to make a little division in there just make it a little little touch brighter and it makes it look like a little hill within a hill sounds like a good name for a song hill within a hill don't ask me to sing it because you turn your TV off there we go okay and that gives us just a happy little Hill it's back in the distance same old dirty brush go right back into the Browns loaded full of paint loaded full of paint now I haven't I haven't washed this brush since we started Sky color Hills everything okay let's go right back in here and maybe in here we're going to have another heill and here once again all I'm doing is just applying some dark color to it you could you could really you could really put this on with a paint roller put it on a paint roller well we can start a whole new thing there we go but it each layer here you want to get a darker and darker as it comes toward the toward the front as we've mentioned before over and over as things get closer to you in the landscape they get darker in color okay in fact we can just we can just paint the whole remainder of this canvas just like that there we go okay see when you're using a big old 2in brush that take but just a second just drop it right in there okay now that same old dirty brush I'll go right back into my yellows yellow ochre Indian yellow CAD yellow little sap green tap that brush tap it okay now then maybe see here comes another little Hill you can change the lay of the land just like that just touch it touch touch touch and let it wander right on out now when you're doing this if you have problems making your paint stick add a small amount of the liquid clear or paint thinner very small amount very small amount there we go there we go there see just layer after layer after layer as many or as few as you want in your world drop them in painting painting gives you Freedom gives you Freedom spent half my life in the military with somebody telling me what color socks to wear what time to do oh and this was my freedom I'd go home in the evening and I paint and there I could create any kind of world that I wanted it's clean it's crisp nobody had messed it up the water wasn't polluted everybody was happy and you can too just create a vision in your mind and drop it on canvas look at all the hills we got already there's tremendous depth in this painting look at the plains there is one there's another there's one there's one and there's one and the more of these planes that you have in your painting the more depth you will have okay tell you what let's do let's have some fun today let's put a happy little house right in here now there's a lot of ways you can do it let me let me show you here probably one of the simplest ways I'm just going to take a little paint so you can see it you can just sort of scrape in a basic shape here see there's part of the roof see and then comes down maybe like so and other side and here and then you need something there and there you can do this just to sort of build yourself a little outline and then you can start filling it in it will take fandc brown little bit of the dark Sienna in it and we'll begin building us a house right here Z just like so really push this into the fabric push hard very hard I want this want this color to just grind right into the right into the material there vanc Brown a little bit of dark Sienna there we go there we go tell you what maybe maybe this old fell that lives here is like me he needs a needs a little shed out here so we can go ahead and lay that in right now Z got to make those little noises or it doesn't work see right now we're just blocking in color we could care less we'll come back and separate all this yeah I know you're saying Bob you really you really done it this time and you may be right maybe right we'll see now we put him a little roof up here okay there we are doesn't that look just like a house oh it doesn't okay well we'll work on it a little bit more then see what we can do okay I'm going to take some bright red some Bandy brown little dark Sienna little touch of little touch of white in there just to just to brighten it up some just to brighten it up there we go now then this time let's use the little edge of the knife see that little roll of paint okay let's go right up here now then go back here on this back and let's start like that and it doesn't matter where you go here because you can just cut it off when you when you put the other building on there look at that looks like happy little shingles back here that easy this is a old tired building now then it's come right down in here see and we pick out this next Eve there it is comes right across there you knew that now take a this is titanium white tell you what I'm going to do I'm going to add a little bit of black to that and make a nice gray color titanium white with a little midnight black oh that's much nicer much nicer there we go there we go now go back with a tiniest little bit of black and let's put some let's put some lines in here like boards all right then with a clean knife we just grab it and pull down just a tiny bit so it picks up the least little Touch look at there look at there makes all kinds of old looking effects okay all kinds of old things now then now then I'll take some more the midnight black and titanium white make us that gray color again pull it out and let's go right up in here and pull this one down just pulling down pulling down doesn't matter if a little bit of that brown mixes in makes it look old makes it see there look at there all those pretty things happen and I'm going to go right along this edge here and firm it up just a little little dark color just so it's a little bit firmer back to my black then we can go right through here and put see just put these little rascals back in there and don't don't get these too perfect you want this to be an old house this wood is weathered it's really caught the devil out here now barely touch just graze the canvas caress the canvas barely barely touch give it these little pull Downs let some o there's a nice one see you can sit there with your one haired brush for a week trying to get those and and here it just sort of happens okay now then let's do let's do the other side I want a darker gray oo there's a nice gray for this side of the building see maybe tell you what maybe even a little darker darker yet I want it distinctly different much darker yes this one's in Shadow you don't see as much don't see as much but we can still see that there's little boards running up through there like that same thing grab them give them a little pull make them look old that building that building looks as old as me and that's old old all right now then maybe we'll take some black let's come right up in here and put a happy little window need a way to see out maybe the door is on the other side of this house but have to have a window over here so you can see what's happening and and we'll take a little bit of light color this is very light gray and just go around sort of clean up the edges and it just cleans up the edges makes your little window look good now maybe look at there maybe like so I know next you want curtains in there and that easy we got a nice little nice little window now then got to finish up the roof on this side over here so let's go right up in here and we'll take the small edge of the knife again and just pop in some some little roof indications little shingles see do it just like you really really lce angles you do the bottom one first and then work upward so they overlap that keeps Mr rain from slipping up under him if you start his top and work down you'd be in bad trouble and you paint them the same way of course this is a lot faster than putting shingles on the roof my father was a was a carpenter and when I was young he gave me a little taste of this my job was carrying all this up on the roof boy they were heavy sound of a gun worked me to death I decided I want to be a painter there now we got a lot of lot of shingles on there I'm going to take a little bit of the the white now then let's come right along in here and I'm just going to put a little white on here just to make that stand out so you really really just pops out at you okay back to my brush that has all the the grass color on it we got a happy little building and we can come up in here and begin tapping in some grass right down here at the base and I'll clean it all up make it look good want to clean up his little foots just like so there we go few right in there once again if you have problems making your paint stick add a little bit of paint thinner Just a Touch sure it doesn't take much nothing's worse than than watching your painting just drip right off the canvas so don't use too much maybe there's a little touch back in there we don't care too much all right we got a happy little house out here see you can just cover up whatever you don't want now then house looks like it's sitting out there well that's a dull place to live isn't it let's put a tree in there we need some trees in there trees oh trees are super I'm going to dip right into the liquid clear and go into midnight black and I dipped into that liquid clear to make this paint thinner so so it'll it'll slide on the canvas it'll move a lot of pain in the brush can let gool here you had to make a big decision where did a tree live in your world look around and decide there he is there he is maybe he's got a little crook right there in the bottom just make up little stories give these trees names and stuff make them your friends make them your friends talk to them it doesn't matter if people think you're crazy you know painters are noted for being a little weird anyway we can get away with things like that if I acted normal nobody would know me there tell you what let's put some arms on this tree maybe there we go comes right out Zoom another little arm maybe like so make him a little fatter right there can I tell you I tell you let's go over let's go over the other side I'll make that trunk a little bigger maybe there's a big tree and he lives right here in front of the house and in the summertime when it's hot this tree provides some shade keeps you nice and cool in there and here comes a little arm right through the roof and maybe there's another one there wherever wherever still want to make this one a little bit Little Bit Stronger on the bottom there see with this liquid clearing the brush thinning the paint it slides right over the top now then there we go now I'm going to take my liner brush still using the liquid clear I'm going to thin this till it's just just about like water pull that brush turn it and turn it brings it to a sharp Point okay now let's go up here and begin laying in all kinds of little Limbs and stuff like him just all these little branches coming off here see just however many you want you have to make a big decision here how many live in your world okay there we go I'm just going to drop these in real fast when you're home and you have all kinds of time take your time and really really put some beautiful little limbs in here see now this one comes across in the front of the tree don't have them all all just coming off the sides if you do it'll look like it'll look just like somebody took a big razor blade and cut your tree in two and all you have is the two sides limbs come across the trunk and they go every which way whatever makes them happy there see and just pop All These Little Rascals in there just wherever you think wherever and there's some back on that little tree there they are there is one now you could spend all day just putting all kinds of beautiful little limbs on your tree but I think I'll put some leaves on here so no you spending a lot of time and then just covered them up let's go over here and put some on this other old tree here just slide a few on there this paint just slips right over the canvas little look with clear a little paint thinner either one just something to thin the paint down and then it'll flow if you tried to put thick paint on oh you'd be angry with me there look at all those little I get carried away sometime and just keep on and on with these there we go I forgot this one here shoot he would have been very upset if he didn't have a limb too so we'll we'll give him a couple nothing like a Mad Tree had one chased me all over the yard one time there there we go okay now then let's get us an old brush we'll go right into dark Sienna some vany brown just tap a lot of color in here now then let's go right up in here and I'm just going to tap on some little indications of some nice leaves and maybe maybe sometimes you can paint a seam like this and leave the leaves off maybe they've already maybe they already fell off maybe it's fall that's up to you that's up to you okay let's go over here and tap in a few here like that give this old tree some don't want him left down back here just however many you want and this one is that a super nice way to create beautiful beautiful little leaves on your tree while I got that dark color on here I want to put the indication of a little Shadow coming right out through here we'll clean that up in a little while without cleaning the brush I'm going right into some yellow ochre let's go right up here and highlight some of these just let a little light play through there looking at your little cabin there it tells you the lights coming from the left so left side should be a little brighter than the right side and on this little tree don't want him left down there we go all these little happy things there see and work work in little clumps don't just throw them on at random sort of look at it get a feel for it take pictures of trees go out sit in the woods look at trees talk to them make friends with them there we go that gives us some little little leaves okay now then clean brush here let's just work that shadow right in it's nice big Shadow under this tree there we go same thing over here we pick up a little that gray color little more of the white just put a little little touch of white in there now let's have some fun maybe maybe there's a fence right there I like to do an old happy fence comes right across like that and we're going to have shadows there is another post as these posts get closer to you allow them to get bigger and further apart there's another one see and that'll help create the illusion of distance now then we'll take a little brown and a little white throw in a little highlight that easy little bit of Shadow we want that shadow on there okay pull that shadow out that way see and then go across then go across we'll put a little look at that and we'll leave this one open so that'll be the gate and I think it'll show you how to make a super super little painting and that just about finishes this one up so I think we'll call that one done from all of us here happy painting God [Music] bless
