If you don't like it - change it. It's your world. If you don't like it - change it. It's your world. If you didn't have baby clouds, you wouldn't have big clouds. Those great big fluffy clouds. Just beat the devil out of it. We'll paint one happy little tree right here. It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Have fun with it. It is a lot of fun. Be careful. You can always add more - but you can't take it away.

A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. We want to use a lot pressure while using no pressure at all. Every highlight needs it's own personal shadow. We artists are a different breed of people. We're a happy bunch. For the lack of a better word I call them hangy downs. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy. We don't have to be committed. We are just playing here. This is your creation - and it's just as unique and special as you are. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. There are no mistakes. You can fix anything that happens.

If we're gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. But we're not there yet, so we don't need to worry about it. Every single thing in the world has its own personality - and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. We don't need any guidelines or formats. All we need to do is just let it flow right out of us. Now we'll take the almighty fan brush. I thought today we would do a happy little picture. If you don't like it - change it. It's your world. When you do it your way you can go anywhere you choose.

Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts - but you have to build the framework first. The least little bit can do so much. Isn't that fantastic? I guess I'm a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That's okay though; I have more fun than most people. If you don't think every day is a good day - try missing a few. You'll see. Working it up and down, back and forth. Brown is such a nice color. This is gonna be a happy little seascape. Even trees need a friend. We all need friends. You can create beautiful things - but you have to see them in your mind first.

Trees grow in all kinds of ways. They're not all perfectly straight. Not every limb is perfect. That's what makes life fun. That you can make these decisions. That you can create the world that you want. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow. This is probably the greatest thing that's ever happened in my life. Maybe he has a little friend that lives right over here. Let's make some happy little clouds in our world. There is no right or wrong - as long as it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone. All you have to learn here is how to have fun. We artists are a different breed of people. We're a happy bunch. I thought today we would make a happy little stream that's just running through the woods here.

When you do it your way you can go anywhere you choose. Those great big fluffy clouds. Everybody needs a friend. If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is. Nice little fluffy clouds laying around in the sky being lazy. It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Maybe we got a few little happy bushes here, just covered with snow. Sometimes you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your masterpieces. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way. It just happens - whether or not you worried about it or tried to plan it.

We don't really know where this goes - and I'm not sure we really care. If what you're doing doesn't make you happy - you're doing the wrong thing. Everyone is going to see things differently - and that's the way it should be. Use your imagination, let it go. Just let go - and fall like a little waterfall. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. We can fix anything. A tree cannot be straight if it has a crooked trunk. Let's put a touch more of the magic here.

Nothing's gonna make your husband or wife madder than coming home and having a snow-covered dinner. But we're not there yet, so we don't need to worry about it. We don't need any guidelines or formats. All we need to do is just let it flow right out of us. Let's make a happy little mountain now. It is a lot of fun. Use absolutely no pressure. Just like an angel's wing. No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen. Steve wants reflections, so let's give him reflections. We'll lay all these little funky little things in there. It's life. It's interesting. It's fun.

There isn't a rule. You just practice and find out which way works best for you. Isn't it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? I think there's an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us. 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. Work that paint. See. We take the corner of the brush and let it play back-and-forth. This is the way you take out your flustrations. It just happens - whether or not you worried about it or tried to plan it. Let's put some happy little bushes on the other side now.

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. A tree needs to be your friend if you're going to paint him. I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn't know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do. Trees grow in all kinds of ways. They're not all perfectly straight. Not every limb is perfect. The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There's nothing worse than a cloud killer. Son of a gun. Get away from those little Christmas tree things we used to make in school. You're meant to have fun in life. Have fun with it.
