Every day I learn. Every day I learn. Every highlight needs it's own personal shadow. That's the way I look when I get home late; black and blue. How to paint. That's easy. What to paint. That's much harder. This is your world, whatever makes you happy you can put in it. Go crazy. I thought today we would make a happy little stream that's just running through the woods here. 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. We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it one canvas. Didn't you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything.

Let's build an almighty mountain. Decide where your cloud lives. Maybe he lives right in here. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. Trees grow however makes them happy. And right there you got an almighty cloud. And right there you got an almighty cloud. Let the paint work. In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. Let's do it again then, what the heck. Isn't that fantastic?

With something so strong, a little bit can go a long way. Now then, let's play. Clouds are free. They just float around the sky all day and have fun. All kinds of happy little splashes. But we're not there yet, so we don't need to worry about it. We can fix anything. 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. We'll do another happy little painting. Don't be afraid to make these big decisions. Once you start, they sort of just make themselves. Every time you practice, you learn more.

You don't have to be crazy to do this but it does help. It's cold, but it's beautiful. From all of us here, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless, my friends. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. See. We take the corner of the brush and let it play back-and-forth. Go out on a limb - that's where the fruit is. Don't kill all your dark areas - you need them to show the light. Let's get crazy. Anyone can paint. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind.

Let's get wild today. Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. Let's do that again. Use what you see, don't plan it. We don't want to set these clouds on fire. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There's nothing worse than a cloud killer. We'll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. As trees get older they lose their chlorophyll. We're trying to teach you a technique here and how to use it.

Didn't you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. Let's make a happy little mountain now. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. The little tiny Tim easels will let you down. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it's almost like a chocolate brown. In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. We don't have to be committed. We are just playing here. Now it's beginning to make a little sense. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it's almost like a chocolate brown. We don't have to be concerned about it. We just have to let it fall where it will.

Put light against light - you have nothing. Put dark against dark - you have nothing. It's the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning. It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Let's have a little bit of fun today. We don't really know where this goes - and I'm not sure we really care. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are the most valuable things in the world. This is a happy place, little squirrels live here and play. Let's get crazy. What the devil. The more we do this - the more it will do good things to our heart. Of course he's a happy little stone, cause we don't have any other kind.

Go out on a limb - that's where the fruit is. A little happy sunlight shining through there. Absolutely no pressure. You are just a whisper floating across a mountain. Clouds are free they come and go as they please. You can work and carry-on and put lots of little happy things in here. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. See. We take the corner of the brush and let it play back-and-forth. Let's get wild today. When things happen - enjoy them. They're little gifts. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy.

You have freedom here. The only guide is your heart. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. Every day I learn. With practice comes confidence. No worries. No cares. Just float and wait for the wind to blow you around. These little son of a guns hide in your brush and you just have to push them out. A beautiful little sunset. All you have to learn here is how to have fun. Here's something that's fun. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are the most valuable things in the world.

Almost everything is going to happen for you automatically - you don't have to spend any time working or worrying. I'm a water fanatic. I love water. If you don't like it - change it. It's your world. It's life. It's interesting. It's fun. Clouds are free they come and go as they please. Don't be bashful drop me a line. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush. In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees. 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. You got your heavy coat out yet? It's getting colder.
