tv stand wood with glass doors
- hi, i'm certainly glad to see you today. i thought today we'djust do a little painting that's a lot of fun, andi think you'll enjoy it. so let's start out and have 'em run all the colors across the screen that you need to paint along with us. while they're doing that, let me show you what i've got going up here today. have my standard old double-primepre-stretch canvas up here
but today i've taken alittle bit of brown acrylic and mixed it with gesso and just took an old brush and sorta dobbed in a basic idea here. as you can see, we'regonna have a big tree here, and the rest of it, we'll just sorta, whatever happens, we'lljust sorta let it happen. it doesn't matter. let's start out today and just have fun.
i'm gonna use the old two-inch brush. we'll go into a smallamount of indian yellow. and i've chosen the indianyellow because it's transparent. all righty, let's go right up in here. i'm just gonna come right in here and just begin with a littleof this indian yellow, making little crisscross strokes. and just cover up the entire canvas. just cover it up, what the heck.
but just use little x's,little crisscrosses. it doesn't take but asecond with a big old brush. something about like that. just right over the top of this. now the gesso, of course,was allowed to dry before we covered it with liquid clear. there. and the liquid clear is on there just so the yellow and othercolors just go on very easily.
this was a dry canvas. we'd work ourself to deathtrying to get that on there. okay. and when you have theentire canvas covered, then we can mix up another color. let me find my little knife here. i think today i'll makea transparent brown out of alizarin crimsonand some sap green. probably a little more crimson than green
depending on which way you want it to go, toward the red side or thegreen side, it's up to you. i want mine to go sorttoward the reddish side. all right. okay, let me wipe off the old knife here. i'll just use the same oldbrush, it doesn't matter. we'll go into a littlebit of that brown color. and i'm gonna startdown here at the bottom. allow it to mix with thecolor that's already on there
and begin blending upward. begin blending upward, iwant it to be the darkest on the base and work up. so we'll start at the bottomand allow it to blend out just like so. that's really all there is to it. and maybe wherever you want it to go, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter. 'cause as you know, if you'vepainted with us before,
we don't make mistakes. (chuckles) we just have happy accidents. there we are. while i have that old brown on the brush, let's take and put alittle bit in the corners. by putting a little of thisdark color in the corners, it'll make the lighter area look brighter. about like that, and just let it blend right into that yellow thatwe already have on there.
and little bit over in this corner. there we go. already that's beginning to look like some beautiful littletrees in the background. using acrylic paintwith gesso is fantastic. it opens all kinds ofdoors to your imagination. it'll let you go wild. and that's really about all i'm gonna do for the background in this painting.
okay, now the most fun ofall, let's wash the brush. and as you know, we wash our brush with odorless paint thinner,be sure it's odorless. shake off the excess. (banging) (chuckles) and just beatthe devil out of it. i thought maybe today, tell you what, let's get our little round brush. i'm gonna take it, gointo some of the yellows.
yellow ochre. ah, even a little brightred and indian yellow here. i'm gonna just jump back and forth between all the yellows and bright red. and sometimes i'm gonna pick up, be right back, a littlebit of alizarin crimson. okay, let's go right up in here. now we can come along in here and just begin picking outlittle individual things.
just little individual things. maybe we'll make that a little brighter so it'll show up a little better. little individual things. there, just all kinds of little doers that live in these things. maybe over in here. tell you what, let's makelike a fall scene here. look, we have all kinds oflittle things happening.
all kinds of nice, warm colors. so you just decide wherethey are and drop 'em in. wherever, wherever. this is just gonna belittle background things that live far in the distance. pick up a little sap greenonce in a while, too. maybe, even if this is fall, sometimes there's still a little bush or two that got a little green left on it
that hides back in here. we don't wanna leave him out. there, we work in layers, doone little bush at a time. and then work forward, forward, forward. maybe, yeah, this one right here, we'll put some little highlights on him. but that's basically all we're doing. allow that color that you put on first with the gesso and theacrylic to show through.
it'll create all kinds ofbeautiful and interesting effects. that easy, that easy. little red, little cad yellow with it makes a nice orange color. yeah, in the fall, itlooks like jack frost took all the colors on the palette and just sort of went crazy. just sort of went crazy, and that's what we're gonna do.
there, there's a happy littlebush lives right there. just like that. once again, work in layers, though. do the little bush that youthink's the farthest away and work forward, always working forward. vary your colors a little bit. the fall colors givesyou a multitude of things to choose from, you can doall kinds of gorgeous things. back into my yellow andred, makes a nice orange.
once again, i'm justgonna sorta vary colors back and forth, wherever. wherever. just enough so they stand out. isn't that fantasticthough that you can do a beautiful background, lookat all the different planes, the layers in there. put a few sticks and twigs in there, and it'll look like thatgoes back 1,000 miles.
and to me, that's whatmakes a painting fantastic is it has depth in it and dimension. it's not just an old flat surface. okay, brighten that one alittle bit so you can see him. but there, there we go,see, look at all those. isn't that wonderful? isn't that fantastic? i tell you what, let's get crazy today. maybe in our world back here, yeah,
let's have an old barn maybethat lives right in here. i'm gonna take and just pick out a basic shape. i'm just scraping off the excess paint. and it'll, at the sametime, just scrape in, as i say, a basic shapefor a nice old barn that lives back here and has a good time. maybe it comes out likethat, i don't know. down something like that.
over in here. might even be some... i know none of that makes sense yet, but it will in a minute. i'm just removing any excess paint. now then, we can just take the knife, begin blocking some of this in. there's the back eave. we'll have an old barn thathas a projection out there,
i like those, i like those. there, comes out. down, then need a backsidefor the old rascal. we're just blocking in colorhere, don't worry about it. i'm using that same brown that i made from the alizarin crimsonand the sap green. and here, we need a front on our barn. so we'll just drop it in. there, and the side.
like that, maybe it's got a... maybe there's an old shed thatcomes out here on the side. probably none of this makes sense yet, but i can sorta see it in my mind. and that's really all you have to do. if you can just sorta visualizethings, then off you go. gosh, what started out to be a little barn is gonna end up being a big barn. but that's okay.
we need a place to put the old cow. and all this we'll just fill in. all right, maybe today,tell you what let's do. let's get crazy. let's take the old filbert brush, i wanna take some ofthat brown that i made, and we'll use the old filbert. brown, be right back, geta little touch of the red. a lot of paint on there,just really gob it on.
see, just pull it through there. but don't over mix your color. there's all kinds ofcolors going on in there. now very gently, you just touch this, and let's just start pulling it down. barely touch though, barely touch. just enough to let the paint come off. and it'll make it look likeold boards there, old wood. just enough that it dragsthe paint off the brush.
there, it's just, it's very gentle. it's like putting snow on the mountain. very, very, gentle, barely touch. you could do this with aknife if you wanted to. i thought maybe todaywe'd just do it with this. doesn't much matter, it's up to you. a little more of the red in there just so it sorta matches everything. this is a super way of making old wood.
and little bit of the dark color, i want it a little darker up here 'cause there'd be a littleshadow cast from the top. something like that. let's get the knife. we'll take a little bitof yellow, yellow ochre, little bit of red, littlebit of that brown we made. but don't over mix it,leave it sort of marbled so when you cut off thatlittle roll of paint,
you have all these colors. they're living right herein this world on your knife. i just wanna touch nowand let it just bounce, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. just let it bounce. and make it look like anold, old roof on this thing. it's like me, it's had a hard life, and this one's probablyseen its better day. there comes a little pointout there on the barn.
mm, i like to paint oldbarns, they're a lot of fun. a lot of fun. when i travel, i see barns all over. sometimes i stop and take pictures of 'em. it's a good way to makeyou a reference library on old buildings or even trees and clouds and stuff like that. shoot, stop and takepictures of 'em, save 'em. i have a file, i guess you would call it,
of photographs and pictures and ideas that people have sentfrom all over the country. and that's where a lotof these ideas come from. i go through there and look at 'em and see what kind of scenesthat people are sending in and that they want to see painted. and that's where we get a lot of it. so if you have some ideas you want done, send me a photograph, maybeone day you'll see it on here.
just put a littlehighlight along the edge. maybe a little bit there,just so it stands out. okay, wipe the old knife off. now just take a littlebit of brown on the knife and just touch here and there just to give a little division betweenthe individual boards, slabs, whatever you wanna call 'em. but just a little division between 'em. there, see how easy that is?
you can really make old,old looking wood like... it's not that difficult. over here, i want this to be almost dark. very dark, but almost thecolor we painted it originally. now we can come back with a knife and just do a barnectomy. we just cut the barn offso it's where we want it. something about like so. let's take some midnight black.
come right in here, put a door in, soop. gotta have a place for theold cow to get in there. take a little bit ofbrown, just go around, sorta outline the door. shoot, that's not so bad. we've got us a little barnright there, that easy. now maybe in our barn, let's make some more of that brown, crimson, sap green mixed together.
didn't mix up enough to start with. okay, let's just sorta have an idea. maybe here, there's an old path. gotta have a way for thecow to get up to the barn. maybe when the storm comes, hehas to go up there and hide. so we'll just put a little bit of color right on here like this. have a path that goes up into the barn. all right, wipe off the knife.
we'll just use old two-inchbrush here a little bit. i'm gonna put a little that brown on it, then go into all the yellows and the reds. but i put a little brown on it first. okay, let's go up in here. let's begin putting insome little grassy areas back in here just by tapping. not bright enough, let'sbrighten it up a little. i'm gonna dip the brush intoa little bit of liquid white.
that'll brighten it andthin it at the same time. see, it jumps right on us now. back to my little round brush. and let's go in here. maybe this old farmer was like me, he didn't take care of his yard too well, and the bushes sorta grew up, took over. we'll just play with some of these colors that we were using, thereds and the yellows,
little green now and then. all kinds of little things. a little more of the liquidwhite just to thin the color. we're getting quite abuildup of paint here now, so we have to begin thinning the color. okay, maybe a little... look at there, all kinds of little doers. and over here on the other side. shoot, maybe it's growingup here, too, we don't know.
we don't know, wherever. okay, we need to put somehighlights on our path. for that, let's use somebrown and some white. a little bit more brown,woo, that's pretty. i like that. a little roll of paint, barely touch. and you might wanna use a small knife so you can sneak in here and do this. barely touch, just like you're making
snow break on the mountain. i wanna take a little bit of blue, little phthalo blue, white. i wanna just graze this withblue so it looks like shadows. just here and there, not much, not much. there, and then back toour little round brush. and let's go back in here and put in all kinds oflittle bushes and stuff that live around the old barn.
we don't know, don't know that we care. i'm just gonna jump back and forth between the two-inch brush andthe little round brush. back and forth, i wannamake little grassy areas and then little bushes. let's just sorta see what happens. just let it work itself out. maybe a little more red here and there. ooh, that's pretty.
there, that'd be a wonderfulplace for an old cow to live. see, you already have your dark in. the acrylic and gesso putsall your dark in for you, so all you have to do isput your highlights on. makes it so much easier. there we go, here and there,and there and here, wherever. that's really about all there is to it. works very well. helps create that illusionof depth and distance
so you can sneak back up in there. let's take a liner brush. we'll use a little brown, a little paint thinner in it. i just wanna put in anindication here and there of a few little sticks and twigs that live in between some of these things. once again, that'llhelp create the illusion of depth and distancein between individual.
now let's have some fun. wipe off my filbert, i'm gonnago right into that brown. use the little filbert brush right in some of that brown that we made. crimson, sap green, lot of paint. maybe, okay, here's your bravery test. maybe. well, maybe not too big today. how about just a littletree that lives right here.
comes right down like that. you know me, i think everythingneeds a friend, even a tree. so we'll give him a little friend that lives here beside him. they have a good time together. it's okay to make up littlestories about your paintings. people will look at you likeyou're strange, but it's okay. it really does help you in your mind sorta put these things together.
just put a little coloraround the edge of that. little brown and white, like so. just make him stand out little bit. there, you could do thatwith a fan brush, too, if you wanted to, and just pull it around and make it look like little doers. take our liner brush and someof the brown that we made. we want this paint to bevery thin, almost like ink. liner brush has very long bristles.
there, you can see itin front of that color. see, it holds a lot of paint. but when you do it, turnit, twist it, that fills it. and that's ready, let's go up here. and we can go back up inhere with our liner brush with the thin paint,and we can just put in an indication here and thereof some little tree limbs, sticks, twigs, placesfor the birds to sit. wherever you want 'em.
peapod, the pocket squirrel,he'd love to live in this tree. did you see the littlesquirrels that we had in the series earlier? they were so fantastic. we showed 'em a couple of times. there, i like all those little critters. peapod still lives in my backyard. we've turned him loose. he's been loose for quite a while.
probably has his own family now. but he still comes every day, and he's like a little puppy. he comes to my back door and he'll actually scratch onthe glass at the back door, sliding glass door there, andhassle me 'til i let him in, and then he knows wherethe nuts are stored, and he goes and finds the onethat he wants and out he goes. we do not advocate keeping any of these
wild animals as pets. we raise 'em and we turn'em loose back to the wild. there, but wild animals need to be wild. okay, but you just put as many or as few little limbs on there as you want. just sorta decide where they should live, and drop 'em in. and a little more paint thinner. i'm just adding a littlemore thinner here and there.
want to put a few little sticks and twigs that live down in hereand wherever we want 'em. maybe over in here, too. sorry to keep jumping around. and i wanna put a few up in here, and i think that's gonna be about all we'll need to do. this part up in here i'mnot even gonna touch. i'm just gonna let the acrylic
and gesso mixture show through. and that way we have parts of the painting that are very thick,parts that are very thin, parts that are dark, parts that are light. and it just sorta all works together. it's a beautiful way ofdoing a little painting that i think you'll like. shoot, let's take a little paint thinner, a little bit of the bright red.
think i'll sign this little rascal. and then we will sign in right down here. you know, i've mentioned before, one of the questions i hear over and over, and i get a lot of lettersfrom fantastic people every week, but one of the questions is how do i sign my painting. physically, how you sign itis i thin the paint 'til, once again, it's almost likeink, and use the liner brush,
and you can write. i've had people who usethe back of the liner brush and just scratch through thepaint to do their signature. some people will sign with a symbol, some with a name, some with a last name, some with a first name. probably the most unique signature that i ever remember was a wonderful lady that painted with me in alaska,
and she used to sign her paintings "grandpa's wife." she said everybody signed it grandma, but she wanted to be different, so she signed it grandpa's wife. but develop your own signature, and it becomes part of your personality and part of your paintingthat everyone will recognize. and 100 years from now whenpeople find your painting,
they'll recognize your signature, and they'll know thatyou had a fantastic day, and that on this day, youexperienced the joy of painting. until next show, from all of us here, i'd like to wish you happy painting, and god bless, my friend. (light music)
