Keeping The Bob Ross Dream Alive | Featuring Nic Hankins

certainly glad you could join us today that's just fantastic we have instructors who travel all over the country raising jewelry painting it went from just watching him for entertainment suddenly thinking okay I can I hope I'll give people the courage to try it make a few mistakes we don't make mistakes we just have happy accidents hello welcome to the painting studio I'm Nicholas Hinkins and I'm a certified Bob Ross instructor it's my pleasure to be with you today to share with you a painting I developed from several visits to the Pacific Northwest taking a lot of photographs out there and I want to show you how to paint a Pacific Northwest scene using the bob ross wet-on-wet technique so come up to the canvas we'll get started and let me tell you what I've done to the canvas so far I was just working on a little bit of background color this is a mixture and by the way will of course run all the colors across the screen that you need to paint along with me starting with the white working around in the same orders I have them on the pallet I've mixed together a combination impression blue van Dyck Brown and a little SAP green and that's a nice dark transparent color I'm just applying a little bit of this to a canvas that has had some black gesso water-based black gesso applied and I just did that with an old foam brush and I used it kind of loosely up here at the top just to roughly create the shape of some little distant pine trees they don't look distant yet but they will before we're finished so stick around and let me show you how to create a really atmospheric landscape finish off I just want to make sure I have a nice thin and even coating of this transparent color all over the canvas I'm just going to touch it and make sure I get a little little fingerprint of that dark color I should still be able to see my fingerprint rather clearly and of course before I did the transparent color I think I forgot to mention the entire canvas got a very thin even coating of the liquid clear just a little bit of liquid clear you don't need much so with all of that preparation worked out of the way let's wash a brush and we'll get started and of course I always wash the brush and odorless paint thinner it's just what Bob used that's what I'll use to shake out the excess of course to dry it you just beat the devil out of it all right so with a nice fresh clean dry brush I'm going to go into just a small amount very small amount of phthalo blue very very little just a little bit tap it out on onto the palette don't need much at all drag it away from that that big pile of paint and tap it into your brush alright let's come up to the canvas and get started jump up in the upper upper corner first and stretch this color out and down you might notice that just allowed some of that that green color to come right up into the sky that's okay I think a little bit of that green influence and there will look pretty in it it really won't be quite as noticeable when everything's all nice and finished a little more the color I'll come up to the other side here in the other corner add a little bit of that nice rich blue a really likes a little blue it's so bright and pretty some areas are thick some areas are thin some areas have no pain at all and that's what we want all right let's go back and grab a clean clean dry brush we'll have a little fun with clouds up here today we'll just use the two inch brush and create some create some cloudy effects I'm just going to go into the titanium white just tap the top corner of the brush into the paint like that tap tap tap let's come up here I've lift a little area there it's kind of light and bright so let's think about well just take the brush and tap it take the brush and tap it that might be the easiest way to create clouds just by just by tapping the top corner into the end of the canvas you can create all sorts of shapes all different types of movements it's nice and loose and free don't overthink it just kind of let it happen and as I work down periodically I'm just sorta wiping the brush off on a paper towel so it doesn't get too polluted too quickly you will pick up some of that blue as this is a wet wet on wet painting technique you'll pick up some of that underneath color I'm just gonna let a little bit of this drift down over the trees so we get a little bit of a misty effect maybe there's a little back here maybe we can even take what little bits left in the brush and we'll just sort of push those those background trees a little further back into the background titanium White's an opaque color so when we add it I add it to that nice transparent color that's on the canvas we'll get just a beautiful little hazy effect looks like mist and fog off in the distance if you've ever been to the Pacific Northwest er I've gone hiking in the woods up there you know how beautiful that can be it's a very very atmospheric very expansive landscape and those are some of my favorite to paint that worked pretty well let me do just a little more that a little more of the titanium point let's come over here on this side I'm just gonna push these little trees back into the distance as well create a little fog rolling through the valley back there so we just have a hint a hint of those trees being back there now there we go you can even take a little touch of that titanium white maybe there's a little more a little more fog or a cloud that just sort of fell right out of the sky and down into the valley down here might look kind of neat and that's just with the top corner of the brush and a light little tap tap tap let's grab a very very clean brush now I'm just gonna soften all of my cloud shapes up here with a big circular stroke very gently I'll float across blend it into the painting soften it down make it look like a cloud should maybe the same thing down here I'll just sort of blend away that bottom edge and blend the top very lightly big circular strokes and then across just to create a nice foggy cereal look just a little a little mist in the valley back there and then very gently we'll just sort of brush over everything and bring it all together all right let's go ahead and wash it wash it brush wash another I don't want to let them stack up shake it out good okay now let's think about what we want to do back in the distance you know some of the areas that I visited in the Pacific Northwest have some beautiful waterfalls so let's see if we can add a little waterfall back here in the distance for that I'm gonna use a fan brush I'll pick up a good old fan brush I'm just going to go right into the titanium white and I'll add a little touch they lo blue doesn't need to be mixed real well just a variety of things happening on the brush that's always nice but a very very soft blue let's come back here well just sort of want to sort of decide maybe maybe there's a little stream winding its way across here maybe it falls over there's a little waterfall then it continues on and then big waterfall over and down and to sort of release the pressure from the brush easy way to paint a big waterfall come back with a two inch brush I'm just sort of soften that from the bottom from the bottom up from the bottom up sets it into shadow at the base and if you're not totally happy with your results you can go back over them but I'll warn you be careful try not to go back over too many times I can get away with maybe just one more little touch but you don't want to you don't want to destroy all this beautiful striation all those little lines in the paint it really sort of helps convey the idea of a little watery fall back there okay maybe I think we need some cliffs to hold all this stuff in so let's pick up some van Dyck Brown we use a good old pallet knife love using the good old pallet knife I'm actually going to kind of do a little housekeeping here move my move my dark green out of the way so I've got more room to play here so we'll pull that paint out very flat cut through it and get just a fine little roll of Van Dyck Brown on the knife and let's come up here and we really want to kind of buttress our waterfall give it a little support from either side just sort of let it cut right into the edge and then fall back away there we go big rock cliff lives right there maybe there's another little outcropping up here and then it kind of connects to it nice part is we don't need a great deal of dark paint on there because the canvas is already dark so I'll just put it on very thinly we'll add a little more a little more the same thing flatten that color out kind of crossing again our nice little roll of paint will come from the other side there's another little cliff top maybe it kind of hangs on down and just over just over this edge something like so that up nice and dark first let's change to a small knife now I'm going to use up our small little painting knife this is a number five I was using a number ten this is a number five I'm going to pick up some titanium white and add to it just a little touch of the dark sienna and Van Dyck Brown maybe just a little more and mix it to a marbled appearance something like that I'll cut off a little roll of that paint and very very lightly just gonna graze along the top of our little embankment here give it a little touch of highlight and it's sort of up to you to decide what the contour cliff looks like now steeper the shoulders or does it have a very flat top well that's up to you well that's up to you I just love this area of the country it's it's so pretty it's been a long time since I've been there but it's always nice to it's always nice to go back and visit with painting that's one of my one of my favorite aspects of painting is that I can just sort of take off and go visit anywhere I want on canvas whatever I want it's a nice thought it's a nice thought maybe that's what the knife off let's say let's say we need a little shadow color in there too it wouldn't all be in the light so let's use a little white a little phthalo blue in a little alizarin crimson will make it nice make a nice violet color I'll even use the small edge of the knife so we can sneak in here and get some some cooler reflected light shadows see I want the top of the cliff to look very flat and the front sides just gonna kind of hang straight down so we're creating the grading the contour the cliff just with the direction of the strokes that's kind of cool if you want it to sort of be recessed and go back in you just use your strokes to indicate that a little of that cool color on this side as well not very much if we have if we have a pound of highlight well you need a few ounces of the reflected light or the shadow color just a little will do the job same same as true if you've if you've ever painted mountains if you paint it along with Bob you painted one of those beautiful big Alaskan mountains don't need nearly as much shadow as you do it's a highlight just soften the base of all this light little taps maybe will soften the edges out here too well sort of let it disappear under the mist just with the corner the brush I'm just going to diffuse some of those areas and blend them with a very very light touch down here we'll sort of sweep this upward and if water is falling that far I feel certain there would be a pretty significant splash at the bottom of the waterfall so let's add a little bit of mist trailing up and floating away from the the base of the waterfall I'll just stick with that same brush I'll tap into the white there's a little blue in there and that's fine too just tapping the top corner of the brush in there and even even tapping it on and sort of wiping it back out we don't need very much I think it would hit right about there it's a little tap tap tap add a little splash a little mist and then really wipe the brush out maybe even knock it out just a little bit and I'll continue with well maybe I should change let's be safe tried to get away with something there and it didn't work let's be safe and we'll go to a complete clean and dry brush there we go won't carry away the edges we'll just let this drift upward and outward in a way I don't want any hard edges very very soft very very soft drifting away drifting away and then we'll just gently gently blend over all of that all right what to do next what to do next maybe some maybe maybe maybe some happy little trees are in order I think so the whole whole Northwest area particularly Oregon that's the state I remember visiting Oregon it's full of happy little trees and happy big big big trees too so let's make a few of those I'm just gonna pick up that base color I started with you remember the mixture blue brown and believe we had SAP green in there let's add a little more let's make a little more this mixture I'm going to use it throughout the painting so let's pick up a nice big chunk of Prussian blue [Music] VanDyke Brown SAP green maybe even a little a little bit of alizarin crimson just for good measure alizarin crimson or a lizard and crimson maybe you call it that that's what I call it alright that should be good and from that mixture I'm gonna grab a small fan brush we use a little number three fan brush and from this mixture I can actually control the value by adding just a little touch of white I'm just gonna pick up a little white on my brush and add to that color so we'll have a slightly lighter variation of this same color load this on the old number three fan brush load both sides nice and full there we go comes to a nice sharp chiseled edge okay let's go up here well we'll see about a little tree maybe it's just sort of a cliff dweller it's a cliff dweller it lives right on that and on that little ledge right there so we'll decide where he lives first and I can come back with just the corner of the brush gentle touch to start with and we'll work back and forth and build a little tree out there on the cliff as many or as few as we'd like I'm gonna make a few of them I'm gonna make a few I think they look nice against that misty area just using the corner of the brush and sort of bending it down we're going to have a lot of tree practice today that's good Bob paints a lot of trees so this is an excellent opportunity to practice how to paint how to paint those trees most important though is loading the brush very full and nice and smooth then I'm going to use just the corner turn the handle over and drop it down I won't come straight in I sort of lame the handle over to the side and then using just that corner very very gently to start with bend it a little and as you work your way down the tree you just sort of work in a z pattern down the tree Zig to one side zag to the other and bend the brush more and more and more as you work your way down like I said we'll have a lot of opportunity to paint some trees today so don't fret we'll cover that in more detail later there's a bigger one there's a bigger one let's right there don't crowd those top limbs too close together leave a little breathing room up top like I say as many or as few as we want I'll just go ahead and plant a few a few extra and if we wind up covering them up before everything's said and done well so be it little extra practice never hurt anybody right practice makes it easier and the easier it is the more fun you'll have Bob's got a great technique to learn how to paint so why not use it right why not use it and do something with it okay let's wipe that brush out I'm going to come back to the yellow cadmium yellow loaded up just just absolutely full and it will mix with a little bit of that excess paint that excess dark color that was still on the fan brush gives us a nice pretty green maybe maybe we add a little phthalo blue to that too love that green such a pretty green okay let's come back we'll add a little highlight to these just kind of here and there don't cover up all the dark that's important that's so important leave some of that dark showing especially through the middle and you can you can sort of very very the yellows I'm adding sometimes I'm reaching in and picking up a little bit of yellow ochre sometimes a little bit of India and yellow in there with it just to just to change the flavor a little bit don't want it to be all the same don't want it to be boring I'll try to let it get darker and darker and darker as it works down softer lighter touch applies less paint nice and nice and light by the time you get to the bottom not much light but find its way down in here and be mostly out out on the front trees close to the edge of the cliff and mainly through the middle all right what to do next trees seem to be working so let's just let's keep going with trees well we've got the tree brush working I'll actually go back to a number 6 now a number 6 fan brush and I'm going to get rid of that a lighter color I'll just move it out of the way I want to get darker now these are darker closer bigger trees darker closer bigger trees that we're painting now so how load the fan brush just absolutely full of that really really dark rich color again very full on both sides very important very important and let's say we definitely want to kind of block in our cliff there so we'll come up here in the sky and so won't come up again turn the brush over to the side drop the handle just a little leave a little breathing room up the top for those for those first few branches and then we just kind of let him unfurl just we work our way down the bigger the tree is the more the brush you can use down it comes down he comes on down till it gets lost into the dark and that's fine that's fine pick up just a little more maybe maybe one leans out I don't know right about there he's a little bit crooked he's a little crooked he's got a little lean in him but that's okay maybe he gets a taste of this Creek water may be a moonshiner lifts upstream that's some strong water he's getting there so he's got a little a little bit of a lean in him and we'll sneak one into this little gap here too I think a nice little treetop sitting in that gap would be nice there we go a couple on the other side why not why not why stop now when it's working keep going yeah I'll have one lives right there plenty of paint in the brush nice light touch to begin again I don't want to crowd those first few those first few boughs let them sort of let them have a little breathing room up there you definitely want to leave a place for the little birds to sit up here give them a give them a branch to kind of a light on take in the view take it easy these these deep oregon woods are just so so peaceful it's a really inviting place to just sort of kind of sit back take it easy be introspective sketch out some painting ideas take your camera with you alright these get a little lost against the dark so let's pick them out let's pick out some detail in them with a little white a little dark sienna and Van Dyke Brown I'm just gonna mix that to a marbled appearance something like so maybe a little a little black just to gray it down there we go small little world of that color on the knife not too much not too much will come from the side here and just touch touch touch a couple of a couple of detailed shots of our trunk maybe we see just a little sort of peeking through peeking through the background little sharper taller top on these two just by plowing through the paint something like that and I'm gonna go back to my fan brush I was using to paint the waterfall it's got a little bit of white and a little bit of blue in it this should make a very nice highlight color if I just pull it through some yellow actually a little bit of all three of the yellows maybe we add just a little bit of that they look blue just love that green there we go let's come up here and drop a little highlight on some of these trees mainly through the middle and kind of off to the right side I just want to be able to see those branches a little more distinctly especially against all this dark a little bit darker a little bit darker as it goes down down down down into the distance all three of the yellows let me touch you the blue maybe even a little touch at the phthalo green that's nice sometimes to just keep keep a variety keep a variety going that's always nice a little change of color for this tree this is the one that got a taste of that strong water so maybe he would be a little different color just a little on this one he's kind of in the background that's plenty that's plenty let's come to the other side a little more the blue a little richer green of all of bob's techniques I almost feel like the the pine-trees work the best it's hard to pick out one thing about Bob's painting method that really works the best but these pine trees I just love them I just love to paint them pine trees and mountains two of my favorites okay let's wash that brush get some of that dark green out of there and the smaller brushes I just dry on a on a paper towel I keep some paper towels handy here I just dry those on a paper towel you don't have to you don't have to try to beat them on the easel leg or anything like that let's come back to our watercolor we were working with a little creek a little creek color here we need to continue our Creek little white little phthalo blue just a touch darker as it falls into the valley down here so I've got a little more blue in with this and let's sneak back here and decide we're kind of coming away from that misty area maybe a couple of little falls back here these are just tiny little waterfalls that sort of bounce and play over stones and rocks and cetera et cetera a little splash a little splash and then it carries on and as you work on this area of the painting it's gonna mix with some of that good dark color that we applied before we started just making littles little zigzags little zigzag strokes I almost think of these in terms of like little flat oval shapes make some little Rapids a little creek running away maybe right about there maybe there's another little waterfall just over and down we'll have a good chance to practice waterfalls today over and down over and down over and down and another little splash just bend the brush upward create a little splashy area there at the bottom it carries on all right anything that looks a little too strong we'll just take a big two inch brush and sort of push it back into the background soften it down I even like to take maybe we can grab a little clean number three fan brush and if I've got too much sharpness way back here against the mist of the waterfall I might just sort of diffuse that that top edge a little bit just sort of rub it away let it disappear back into the mist okay come on back to the two inch brush here I'm just going to tap tap tap tap get a little bit of that dirt colour loaded just in the top corner of the brush and let's decide we have we won't see these right away but I'm gonna add a little bit foliage a little bit of shrubbery right down here at the base of these big trees lots of ferns lots of lots of ground foliage grows in these forests very lush and a lot of moisture in in a forest like this lots from these waterfalls just sort of tapping tapping blocking in a little bit of dark first I'll switch over to a one inch brush and why don't we clean up the palate of look I've made a mess even on a big pallet you can make a mess remove some off some of these previous colors and get them out of the way so we've got room to play I'm gonna use a one-inch brush and just pull it through the cadmium yellow maybe yellow ochre maybe all three will get a little Indian yellow in there too and just a touch of SAP green I'll take a good close look at how to load this brush I want to make sure that I can draw it through the paint in one direction in one direction only and as I stop and pull the brush away you can you can almost see the texture or the form of a little bush up here on your palate there then we'll take that rounded corner and we're going to turn this up toward toward the top of the painting you can actually see all of that paint right there in the end of the brush okay let's go up here we'll add some highlights to these little bushes and you go just outside the dark gentle gentle gentle touch to start now if your paint doesn't want to stick you'll want to add just a touch of either paint thinner or liquid white either one either one works it just depends on how strong you want your color to appear I'll add a little highlight to this one but both will soften both both of those mediums will soften the paint and our golden rule I know you've heard Bob say this before our golden rule is that a thin paint will stick to a thick paint let's start with a nice thick firm dry paint and soften it as we go again that's either either liquid white or a little touch of paint there it just kind of depends on the situation what's your what's your painting what you're trying to achieve let's have yeah a little bit of this back here I really like that phthalo green added with the yellow that's one of my favorite greens sparkly it's pretty and I'm being very careful not to cover all of my dark areas in here that's what gives this dimension and depth and makes it look good it makes it look pretty and we can see layers and layers and layers take your time don't get in a hurry and don't get greedy don't get don't get greedy don't try to paint a big bunch of these bushes all in one brush load just sort of take your time and the truth of the matter is what what happens on the palette is as or maybe even a little more important than what happens on the canvas if you load your brush properly it's gonna pop that paint right off on your canvas for you and you won't even have to think about it that's a beautiful part of this technique it works so well if you just take the time to make sure that brush gets groomed properly it's add a little more here saving all those darks whoo that's important don't cover them all up don't cover them all up I'll finish by adding just a little touch of the phthalo blue so we get an even deeper darker green a little lower there we go all right how about how about we play is that okay hope so I hope so I want to play around a little bit I want to take some of this some of this light color I was using I make sure I've got a nice clean spot on the palate here let's play around let's take some of this white and brown and I think there's a little there's a little midnight black in there - both Browns white a little bit of midnight black maybe even a little more white and I'm gonna add to this color just a little touch of paint thinner just reach in there with my knife and add a little touch of paint thinner get that nice and soft about the consistency of ketchup nice soft paint and with the filbert I'm gonna load it on both sides first with Van Dyke Brown load both sides of the pan Dyck Brown even a little touch of the midnight black and we're gonna come over to our light color stay where you are and I'll come to you we'll come in with this light color and pull it through just just one side so I've got dark on one side light on the other side let's come up here we'll put a few little just with the side of the brush I'm just going to create a few little stones you know those flat stones it's sort of lived by the river you ever go walking by the river you'll see them big long flat stones some are long some are kind of small but they're all very flat looking I'll just stack some of these little stones or right at the base of our little bushes and right up against our little creek you have to come up with your own rock noise though I like that seems to make a good rock or if I just sort of so try mine if it works for you use mine if you need to come up with your own come up with your own that's fine coming up with noises there's a lot of fun to everything about paintings fine everything about paintings fun as many or as few as you want I like to have a lot of them just sort of lined up right there at the edge of the come over here on the other side we'll have some on this side too I mean they kind of curve up out and down out and down in front of the waterfall don't know exactly what's going to show on what's not when we're finished so I'm just gonna kind of play it safe and put in maybe more than I actually need I'll take out number three fan brush just a little bit of that light color white metal little phthalo blue and I want to add just a little just a little splash right along the edge of the creek here right up against our stones maybe just a few little water ripples watery effects just clean up the bottom edge of those stones all right coming back to my back to my one-inch brush that has my highlight color in it I'm gonna plant some little bushes maybe there's even a little moss growing on these stones there's so much water right there you'd think there'd be some moss a rolling stone gathers no moss but River rocks do they've got lots of it so I'm just going to kind of plant these little these little bushes in and amongst all of these stones wherever they need to be kind of helps set everything down especially if your rocks if you have rocks that look like they're floating plant a few bushes around them that'll kind of anchor them down into the painting okay what about up front we've come this far let's see about getting brave let's get brave let's find a fan brush want to use some Van Dyck Brown a midnight black quite a bit of it to really load the brush full very full of paint and let's have let's make a decision here how about right there yeah yeah that'll work huh a big big big big pine tree I guess this is a Douglas fir Dedalus that was my certification instructor he taught me a lot maybe you'd like to be a Bob Ross certified instructor you can do that you know you can do that learn to paint like Bob and learn to teach and share it with others so maybe if you're maybe if you're interested in painting or you've been painting maybe you'd like to join the instructor team that's always something to think about let's take a little Dirk Sienna a little bright red a little touchy yellow ochre and maybe a little white yeah like a nice warm warm Brown very light warm Brown and it appears to me that the light maybe maybe it's coming from somewhere off off to the side here who knows we have artist license we'll use it we'll add a little touch of highlight to this side of these trunks just let it sort of drift drift down drift down just touch and give it a slight little drag to the left just barely barely barely barely little on his neighbor here as well touch touch touch to sort of let it drift around to the lift let's say your knife starts to run out of paint it will naturally get a little bit darker a little darker a little darker as you go all right right through the middle I'm gonna pick up just a little touch of midnight black and keep that very very dark right through the middle little extra a little extra dark right through the middle just really make that round out and well we're in the neighborhood maybe just for a little extra drama let's add a touch more white to our highlight color a little more ochre and a little more bright red really kind of turn up the turn up the value here make it just a little brighter right through the middle right through the middle will really turn the flashlight on it here it's always kind of fun to pick out a spot where it's Suns really peeking through a cloud and just a little extra brightness that Lonnie's friend too there we go I'm using a little bit of this light blue and white I'm going to add a little touch of crimson to that I'll make a reflected light color very similar to what we used way back on the cliffs you remember that that lavender color we use a little combination of white and blue and alizarin crimson and you just sort of play around with that color too you get it to the value that you like I think that looks pretty good we'll try it a little touch of that color will come on the back side of the tree and he'll give it just a little touch of reflected light a little a little shadowed light just illuminates the backside of the tree a little bit kind of goes up the trunk and gets lost really really makes them look around a little on this side too just a little don't get carried away just a little touch a shadow goes a long long way I'm gonna reach for a script liner brush now let's come up to the Van Dyke Brown then I'm gonna dip and get just a couple drops of paint Center two or three soften up or soften up our dark color I want this thin like ink rolling the brush around and around in my fingertips I'm gonna kind of draw it to a nice sharp point okay let's come up here and add some little branches to our pine tree we'll start up at the top with just the tip of the brush I'm gonna let them kind of grow out and then reach for the sky these old Douglas fir limbs tend to sort of drip out of the trunk and then turn up toward the sky and then I can just fork off of those main branches see there comes one and I'll kind of fork off of that and little Y shapes and little V shapes just make up a little stronger and a little darker wherever we need if you have any trouble getting the paint to flow add a little more paint Center to it little touch of paint Center goes a long long way just a few little maybe a little more paint thinner with our mixture it starts to dry out you might have to add a little more paint thinner to your mixture once it gets out of the bucket it starts to dry up so replenish it ever so often and of course his his neighbor here his neighbor needs some limbs they need to reach across the way shake hands the tree shake hands I don't know these do you the shake hands in my world maybe maybe one of these reaches out and a cross it crosses over the trunk that's always sort of neat there we go down low we can use just a little touch of that a little touch of that light color then highlight color that I made for the bark just a little bit of that warm brown with some paint thinner in it as well maybe maybe down here we see just a little bit of light on a couple of these branches they don't all need high light but here and there it's it's kind of nice it's kind of nice if one or two do especially if they get very very lost against the dark I'll just sort of let them I'm just gonna finger paint there and kind of blend it into the dark it's not allowed I'm doing it anyway there we go little touch over here all right how about some foliage for these big trees we've got yeah there's my dark fan brush that's what I want right there get that same dark tree color that same dark pine tree color this is a number six fan brush that same dark green we were using earlier it's just about everything it's pression blue and black and brown and crimson and green and I'm gonna take the brush this time rather than crunching the brush down I'm just going to push it up so I'll keep the handle off to the side once more and I'm just going to crunch-crunch-crunch at the top corner and we'll make some little upturned pine tree foliage gotta make noises for that too crunch crunch crunch crunch now don't let the brush slide or slip or be stroked around I'm just crunching the brush I'm just crunching and bending the bristles right into the canvas and leaving that imprint of paint it's almost like it's almost like you're just sort of stamping just think of it as like stamp stamp push push and the paint comes off of there you don't have to you don't have to work too hard it's when you it's when you think you have to work hard that you get in trouble don't work hard Bob's method isn't about working hard it's about having fun it's about getting some some really cool results and having fun at the same time there we go big big pine tree limbs and branches and boughs out here out here in front something like so now back to us back to a highlight brush let's pick up some light color I've got a little yellow a little little ochre a little more ochre in this one maybe and a little touch of that phthalo green I think a little touch of a little green CAD yellow yellow ochre and I'm just gonna touch very lightly along the tops of the foliage now create some highlights bounce around wherever you want him to be there we go unless you mix that paint together the the prettier I think it looks just kind of let some of the some of the different colors kind of dance through the mixture without without trying to mix it together too much and I'm just crunching that that top corner right into the canvas canvas we'll take the paint that it wants and it will it will leave you with what's left so don't try to force it just plenty of paint and a light light touch above all please please pretty pretty please don't cover all of the dark don't cover all of that dark it's so important that you leave some showing you've got to have it and you've got to have it otherwise these these poor trees just look flat it'll go away and they'll leave you and a little on this big branch out in front there we go no one's expansive he reaches all the way across okay down front I'm gonna just add a few more little rocks we've been we've been building quite a few rocks and quite a few little cliffs along the way so I'm just gonna pick up a palette knife and use some van Dyck Brown some midnight black maybe down here I remember this area was sort of famous that I visited it was kind of famous for big volcanic rock formations and there was there was lots of it just interesting rocks all around so maybe we'll cut in a little actually a big a big foreground rock just kind of hangs out here sort of juts out over and right on down right half at the bottom of the painting how about some white little touch of that brown van Dijk brown and black and a little dark sienna we'll mix all those to a nice marbled appearance cut through it get that good little roll of paint and we'll think about just a few little highlighted areas that sort of sneak along just catch the just catch the high points here the high contoured points of the rock again let it let it take what it wants and it'll leave you with what's left but that nice nice gentle touch I still have a little bit of my cool shadow color left so maybe I'll maybe I'll sneak a little bit of that in here and there and there in here just so we kind of see the backsides of some of these rocks something like that let's find the old one-inch brush it's been it's been working hard today so we'll pick up some yellow cadmium yellow little Indian yellow touch of both of those colors let's come down here and plant some some little bushes and shrubs and ground foliage growing on our rocks and in between our rocks and in the cracks and crevices changing the color just a little each time I've got some ochre in there there's a little touches of green just a little bit of everything a little touch of everything all right wash out a number three fan brush Asiya one thing I just can't resist I've got to do it I've got to do it I'm gonna pick up just a little touch of titanium white maybe the tiniest a little bit of the phthalo blue with it but very very light very very light let's find just a little extra highlight right over the top of our waterfall here so like the sunshine just sort of peeks through I almost feel like there's an opening there and it would sort of peek through that little opening and just have a little extra bright spot right over our right over the top of the waterfall there maybe even back here there's just a little touch just right through the middle a little extra splash little extra light on a couple of the splashy areas something like that and I'd say we're just about got this one completed so let's reach for a script liner brush a little paint thinner a little bright red will come down at the corner and put a signature on this one how about right there signing your name is almost just like painting tree limbs you want to thin the paint down nice and loose plenty of paint thinner then I use just the tip of the brush to write my name I like to print my name sort of use block letters you might call that cheating but it's a little easier to paint that way I think all right so we'll call that one completed I hope you've enjoyed this little walk through the oregon woods i hope this inspires you to use bob's technique to create some of your own exciting paintings thanks for joining me so long until next time and happy painting [Music] you
