Don’t hurry. Take your time and enjoy. It’s amazing what you can do with a little love in your heart. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen.
Every single thing in the world has its own personality – and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. Isn’t that fantastic? You can just push a little tree out of your brush like that. I thought today we would make a happy little stream that’s just running through the woods here. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There’s nothing worse than a cloud killer. We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. Let’s do that again.
I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow. Follow the lay of the land. It’s most important. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the ‘Mona Lisa’ with a two-inch brush. I’m gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue We have no limits to our world. We’re only limited by our imagination. You could sit here for weeks with your one hair brush trying to do that – or you could do it with one stroke with an almighty brush.
You have to make these big decisions. The first step to doing anything is to believe you can do it. See it finished in your mind before you ever start. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. Didn’t you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. I’m sort of a softy, I couldn’t shoot Bambi except with a camera. This is truly an almighty mountain.
Let’s get wild today. Fluff it up a little and hypnotize it. Trees cover up a multitude of sins.
Put your feelings into it, your heart, it’s your world. Trees grow in all kinds of ways. They’re not all perfectly straight. Not every limb is perfect. Isn’t that fantastic? This piece of canvas is your world.
Only God can make a tree – but you can paint one. You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. You can do anything your heart can imagine. Clouds are free. They just float around the sky all day and have fun.
You need the dark in order to show the light. Let all these things just sort of happen. That’s the way I look when I get home late; black and blue. This is your world, whatever makes you happy you can put in it. Go crazy. There are no mistakes. You can fix anything that happens. Happy painting, God bless.
Now then, let’s play. All kinds of happy little splashes. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. With practice comes confidence.
If you don’t think every day is a good day – try missing a few. You’ll see. It’s important to me that you’re happy. Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts – but you have to build the framework first. Let’s put some happy little clouds in our world. Let’s have a happy little tree in here. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it.
We’ll do another happy little painting. Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. In this world, everything can be happy.
How to paint. That’s easy. What to paint. That’s much harder. Maybe he has a little friend that lives right over here. Just relax and let it flow. That easy. You can’t have light without dark. You can’t know happiness unless you’ve known sorrow. Put it in, leave it alone. There comes a nice little fluffer.
The very fact that you’re aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you’re alive and can experience it. Let your imagination be your guide. I’m a water fanatic. I love water.
Imagination is the key to painting. This is your creation – and it’s just as unique and special as you are. I thought today we would do a happy little picture.
At home you have unlimited time. Maybe there was an old trapper that lived out here and maybe one day he went to check his beaver traps, and maybe he fell into the river and drowned. You don’t want to kill all your dark areas they are very important. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. Fluff that up. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things?
The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job. Let’s put some happy little bushes on the other side now. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper.
You create the dream – then you bring it into your world. Just take out whatever you don’t want. It’ll change your entire perspective. If we’re going to have animals around we all have to be concerned about them and take care of them. No worries. No cares. Just float and wait for the wind to blow you around. Clouds are free they come and go as they please.
When things happen – enjoy them. They’re little gifts. We’re not trying to teach you a thing to copy. We’re just here to teach you a technique, then let you loose into the world. Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. I sincerely wish for you every possible joy life could bring. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. Learn when to stop.
I’ll go over the colors one more time that we use: Titanium white, Thalo green, Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown, Alizarin crimson, Sap green, Cad yellow, and Permanent red. This is a happy place, little squirrels live here and play. Of course he’s a happy little stone, cause we don’t have any other kind. Have fun with it. Don’t fight it, use what happens. Take your time. Speed will come later.
But they’re very easily killed. Clouds are delicate. Don’t forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. We’ll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. A tree needs to be your friend if you’re going to paint him. This is unplanned it really just happens.
