Put your feelings into it, your heart, it's your world. Put your feelings into it, your heart, it's your world. Put it in, leave it alone. We'll take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown. There we go. You need the dark in order to show the light. This is an example of what you can do with just a few things, a little imagination and a happy dream in your heart. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush. I really recommend you use odorless thinner or your spouse is gonna run you right out into the yard and you'll be working by yourself. Decide where your cloud lives. Maybe he lives right in here.

You can create anything that makes you happy. It looks so good, I might as well not stop. You can't have light without dark. You can't know happiness unless you've known sorrow. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. Don't kill all your dark areas - you need them to show the light. When you do it your way you can go anywhere you choose. When you buy that first tube of paint it gives you an artist license. Son of a gun. We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. Let's put some happy trees and bushes back in here.

Nothing's gonna make your husband or wife madder than coming home and having a snow-covered dinner. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. It's a very cold picture, I may have to go get my coat. It's about to freeze me to death. We don't have to be concerned about it. We just have to let it fall where it will. Let's do it again then, what the heck. If we're gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. We'll play with clouds today. Everybody needs a friend. Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts - but you have to build the framework first. You don't have to be crazy to do this but it does help.

We tell people sometimes: we're like drug dealers, come into town and get everybody absolutely addicted to painting. It doesn't take much to get you addicted. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper. Let's put some happy little bushes on the other side now. It's important to me that you're happy. Mix your color marbly don't mix it dead. There isn't a rule. You just practice and find out which way works best for you. We'll make some happy little bushes here. I really recommend you use odorless thinner or your spouse is gonna run you right out into the yard and you'll be working by yourself. With something so strong, a little bit can go a long way. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun.

See there, told you that would be easy. Use your imagination, let it go. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. Work that paint. Don't hurry. Take your time and enjoy. We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it one canvas. And just raise cain. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. If there's two big trees invariably sooner or later there's gonna be a little tree.

This is probably the greatest thing that's ever happened in my life. You can get away with a lot. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. We can always carry this a step further. There's really no end to this. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There's nothing worse than a cloud killer. The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job. Look around, look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it. Let's put some happy little clouds in our world. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy. A thin paint will stick to a thick paint.

We have a fantastic little sky! There comes a nice little fluffer. This piece of canvas is your world. Every highlight needs it's own personal shadow. Just think about these things in your mind - then bring them into your world. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow. It's cold, but it's beautiful. Work on one thing at a time. Don't get carried away - we have plenty of time. Isn't it great to do something you can't fail at? Use what happens naturally, don't fight it.

Even the worst thing we can do here is good. Now we can begin working on lots of happy little things. Don't forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. Imagination is the key to painting. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. Clouds are free they come and go as they please. I was blessed with a very steady hand; and it comes in very handy when you're doing these little delicate things. I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. Painting should do one thing. It should put happiness in your heart. Poor old tree.

Don't be afraid to make these big decisions. Once you start, they sort of just make themselves. Talk to trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes. Fluff that up. The shadows are just like the highlights, but we're going in the opposite direction. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. You create the dream - then you bring it into your world. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. What the devil. Working it up and down, back and forth. There are no mistakes. You can fix anything that happens.

If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is. Didn't you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. Just make little strokes like that. You have to make almighty decisions when you're the creator. We want to use a lot pressure while using no pressure at all. You've got to learn to fight the temptation to resist these things. Just let them happen. The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe. Be careful. You can always add more - but you can't take it away. Do an almighty painting with us.
