Setting Sail
Hey!
This is the beginning of an amazing story.
If there's a secret to anything, it's practice. It's cold, but it's beautiful. A very, very small amount.
You can continue to blend it until it just goes away. Talent is a pursued interest. We're like drug dealers -- we come into town and get people absolutely addicted to painting.
Oh, the agony! I remember it. A flock of trees? I don't know... a STAND of trees. That's what you call them! Take your time and play with these things.
I love to make trees. Let's build us a mountain! We want this swirling, churning actions here.
Just let them fall right out of your brush. Tongue got over my teeth there and I couldn't see what I was saying. That simple, that easy!
...three hairs and some air... I think we'll put a happy little cloud up in the sky. It takes very little color.
Everybody has their own idea of what a mountain should look like. That's really the most fun part of it. Everything should get lighter toward the horizon.
Let the brush play and have fun -- let it go! Maybe we will have a little moon up here. You can do anything you desire on this canvas.
Don't overwork -- be lazy! Talent is nothing more than a pursued interest. It's very easy to make a sky darker, but it's a son of a gun to make it lighter.
If there's any secret to this technique, or any other technique: it's practice. It's very hard to see your painting when you're right up against it. We'll blend it all together.
Clouds could very well be the freest things in nature. Let it float right down the side of the mountain. Get it to where you want it, and leave it alone.
You just sort of have to make almighty decisions. Just enough to give it an upward swirl. Just let it work around and play.
