It took nearly a full day to make that one little opening, but we had a lot of fun with it and did a lot of crazies and it's really, the outtakes would be even cuter sometimes than what you see here. Now this will not be an exact duplicate of the painting that you saw at the beginning because it's almost impossible to paint another painting that's identical, but it will give you a good idea of how this one was made. Now then, let's make a big decision today. I don't want to set the world on fire right here.Īll right, and we go in and cut off a little roll of paint. Now then, let's take, let's take let's take a little bright red, a little titanium white and we're going to mix it together and I want just a light pinkish glow in my white. It may not show too much here, but when you're painting, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying.Īnd we'll just blend that right off to nothing, like that. Now then, we'll take a two-inch brush and we pull that because because there's Liquid White on there, you can literally move this paint all over the canvas if you want to.Īnd by watching the brush strokes, it's nice way of laying out a lot of your highlights and shadows in mountains when you're doing them. That makes the application of the next layer much easier if there's not much paint on the canvas here. You can probably hear how hard I'm scraping and pushing, there. I think there would be one there, and we can do that that easy.Īnd really really push that paint right into the fabric. We'll take a little bit of that color and come right up in here.ĭecide where your big mountain is going to live and using very firm pressure, very firm, just come right along here, right along, right a long.ĭecide where your mountain's going to live and begin dropping it in, just begin dropping it in. Now you can mix this to the green side or to the redish side, just depending on what kind of effect that you want. Tell you what, let's mix up, I'm going to use some alizarin crimson and sap green in about equal proportions, about equal. Now then, let's build us a little mountain in here. (brush strokes canvas) Okay, and just sort of blend this out while you have a nice clean brush and we're in business. Makes you feel good when you look up at that.Īnd that's about all we had in that little sky. Ir really makes the painting sparkle up here. Now, sometimes it's fun to take a little white, just a little of the titanium white, pure old white and go right up in here and put in a nice light bright area. You can even tap in some little stringy ones if you want them, there. Okay, a little more of the color and over in here, wherever, wherever. Right there was a little doer that hung down, something like that. It makes all those little things happen in there. Now up in here, we want the indication of just a happy little cloud that's floating around in the sky.Īnd when you're doing this, I'm exaggerating, but make strokes like that. Now then, I'm going to reach right up here, use the same old dirty brush, get a little touch of the Van Dyke brown and mix a little dark sienna with it.ĭon't need a lot of color though, just a little. Maybe we can do some other things with that little character. Hm, the little painter man, I like that in his little painter suit.Īnd if you like that, you ought to drop us a line and let us know. That little opening that you see, it only takes a few minutes to paint the painting, but it takes a lot of fantastic people a very long time to put it together.Īnd we call that little character the little painter man. Let's have a little of that pink right down here in what's going to end up being water.Īnd for that, we'll just use nice horizontal stokes. Now then, maybe a little more over in this corner here. I want to get lighter and lighter toward the top.īut just use little Xs, little Xs like so. Let's start out today with a little touch of the bright red, just a little.Īnd let's just go right in here, just using our little criss-cross strokes and we'll just lay in a happy little sky, just like so, a little more color.Īnd I've started at the horizon and working up today. Got my standard old 18 x 24 inch canvas and it's covered with a thin even coat of the Liquid White and it's already to go. So, tell you what I've got going up here. Let's start out then and have them run all of the colors across the screen that you'll need to paint along with us.Īnd I thought today we'd do the little opening painting that you see that Jerry Morton put together that's so fantastic. It's a fantastic day here and I hope it is wherever you're at.
