I’m gonna add just a tiny little amount of Prussian Blue. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? Let’s make a nice big leafy tree. Even the worst thing we can do here is good. Painting should do one thing. It should put happiness in your heart.
Every highlight needs it’s own personal shadow. That’s what makes life fun. That you can make these decisions. That you can create the world that you want. You can create beautiful things – but you have to see them in your mind first. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. The least little bit can do so much.
Very easy to work these to death. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and talking to trees, and squirrels, and little rabbits and stuff. Just think about these things in your mind and drop em’ on canvas. Work that paint. Trees grow however makes them happy. Give him a friend, we forget the trees get lonely too.
Don’t fight it, use what happens. Each highlight must have it’s own private shadow. We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it on canvas. A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Absolutely no pressure. You are just a whisper floating across a mountain.
Get tough with it, get strong. Just go back and put one little more happy tree in there. Little trees and bushes grow however makes them happy. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. All those little son of a guns.
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. Decide where your cloud lives. Maybe he lives right in here. Now it’s beginning to make a little sense. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it.
You can do anything here – the only pre-requisite is that it makes you happy. Talk to trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes. If you don’t think every day is a good day – try missing a few. You’ll see. See there, told you that would be easy. The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. Only think about one thing at a time. Don’t get greedy.
