You’ve got to learn to fight the temptation to resist these things. Just let them happen. Very easy to work these to death. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way. We have a fantastic little sky! And that’s when it becomes fun – you don’t have to spend your time thinking about what’s happening – you just let it happen. It’s hard to see things when you’re too close. Take a step back and look. Every single thing in the world has its own personality – and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. That’s a son of a gun of a cloud. If I paint something, I don’t want to have to explain what it is.
Let’s make some happy little clouds in our world.
I guess that would be considered a UFO . A big cotton ball in the sky. Just make little strokes like that. Let’s put a touch more of the magic here. The more we do this – the more it will do good things to our heart. Just beat the devil out of it. Here’s something that’s fun. Let’s get wild today. Those great big fluffy clouds.
Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain.
The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job. And I will hypnotize that just a little bit. Now we don’t want him to get lonely, so we’ll give him a little friend. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? It’s so important to do something every day that will make you happy.
A happy cloud. Of course he’s a happy little stone, cause we don’t have any other kind. Everyone is going to see things differently – and that’s the way it should be. This is the way you take out your flustrations. As trees get older they lose their chlorophyll.
For the lack of a better word I call them hangy downs. We have no limits to our world. We’re only limited by our imagination. That’s a crooked tree. We’ll send him to Washington. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. We need dark in order to show light. Use your imagination, let it go.
Everything’s not great in life, but we can still find beauty in it. Just a happy little shadow that lives in there. Let’s go up in here, and start having some fun It’s amazing what you can do with a little love in your heart. I was blessed with a very steady hand; and it comes in very handy when you’re doing these little delicate things.
Look for me in the sky. I'm here. You are my friends.

It just happens – whether or not you worried about it or tried to plan it. I want everbody to be happy. That’s what it’s all about. Don’t hurry. Take your time and enjoy. When you buy that first tube of paint it gives you an artist license. Be careful. You can always add more – but you can’t take it away. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger.

All kinds of happy little splashes. What the devil. Let’s put some happy trees and bushes back in here. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting.
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. We’ll do another happy little painting. When you buy that first tube of paint it gives you an artist license. Here’s something that’s fun. You don’t have to spend all your time thinking about what you’re doing, you just let it happen. In this world, everything can be happy.
You’re meant to have fun in life. A little happy sunlight shining through there. And just raise cain. Every time you practice, you learn more. Isn’t that fantastic? You can just push a little tree out of your brush like that.
It’s a very cold picture, I may have to go get my coat. It’s about to freeze me to death. If there’s two big trees invariably sooner or later there’s gonna be a little tree. Don’t kill all your dark areas – you need them to show the light. If you don’t like it – change it. It’s your world.
It’s a super day, so why not make a beautiful sky? It looks so good, I might as well not stop. I thought today we would make a happy little stream that’s just running through the woods here. Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day. 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.
A happy cloud. Get away from those little Christmas tree things we used to make in school. Now, we’re going to fluff this cloud. I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. Let your heart be your guide. We’ll have a super time.
This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. Let’s give him a friend too. Everybody needs a friend. In life you need colors. Now we don’t want him to get lonely, so we’ll give him a little friend.

Didn’t you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. Brown is such a nice color. Just beat the devil out of it. We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it on canvas.
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. Just use the old one inch brush. Let’s make a happy little mountain now. La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. Get tough with it, get strong.
At home you have unlimited time. I’m gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue Those great big fluffy clouds. And right there you got an almighty cloud. This piece of canvas is your world.
Don’t hurry. Take your time and enjoy. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and talking to trees, and squirrels, and little rabbits and stuff. Do an almighty painting with us. Let the paint work.
Painting should do one thing. It should put happiness in your heart. We want to use a lot pressure while using no pressure at all. That’s a son of a gun of a cloud.
Look around, look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting. We can fix anything. There we go.
Don’t forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. Almost everything is going to happen for you automatically – you don’t have to spend any time working or worrying. The least little bit can do so much. It’s amazing what you can do with a little love in your heart.
If you’ve been in Alaska less than a year you’re a Cheechako. It’s amazing what you can do with a little love in your heart. What the devil.
Just take out whatever you don’t want. It’ll change your entire perspective. There’s not a thing in the world wrong with washing your brush. You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the ‘Mona Lisa’ with a two-inch brush.
You need the dark in order to show the light. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are the most valuable things in the world. It just happens – whether or not you worried about it or tried to plan it. This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you’re experiencing it. Let all these things just sort of happen. That is when you can experience true joy, when you have no fear.
Remember how free clouds are. They just lay around in the sky all day long. The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. With practice comes confidence.
Have fun with it. Let’s make some happy little clouds in our world. That’s a son of a gun of a cloud.
If what you’re doing doesn’t make you happy – you’re doing the wrong thing. Nothing’s gonna make your husband or wife madder than coming home and having a snow-covered dinner. Son of a gun. Very easy to work these to death.
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. Let’s go up in here, and start having some fun The more we do this – the more it will do good things to our heart. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. A tree cannot be straight if it has a crooked trunk.
You can create the world you want to see and be a part of. You have that power. Get tough with it, get strong. It’s a super day, so why not make a beautiful sky? I’ll go over the colors one more time that we use: Titanium white, Thalo green, Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown, Alizarin crimson, Sap green, Cad yellow, and Permanent red. These little son of a guns hide in your brush and you just have to push them out.
If I paint something, I don’t want to have to explain what it is. Put your feelings into it, your heart, it’s your world. A happy cloud. We wash our brush with odorless thinner. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy.
Imagination is the key to painting. If there’s two big trees invariably sooner or later there’s gonna be a little tree. The only prerequisite is that it makes you happy. If it makes you happy then it’s good.
Steve wants reflections, so let’s give him reflections. There it is. But they’re very easily killed. Clouds are delicate. How do you make a round circle with a square knife? That’s your challenge for the day. We’ll take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown. Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day.
Just let your mind wander and enjoy. This should make you happy. You can do anything your heart can imagine. Work on one thing at a time. Don’t get carried away – we have plenty of time. Just beat the devil out of it.
Let’s put some highlights on these little trees. The sun wouldn’t forget them. You don’t have to be crazy to do this but it does help. We don’t really know where this goes – and I’m not sure we really care. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? Decide where your cloud lives. Maybe he lives right in here. Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.
Don’t kill all your dark areas – you need them to show the light. We have no limits to our world. We’re only limited by our imagination. Let that brush dance around there and play. Each highlight must have it’s own private shadow. Only God can make a tree – but you can paint one. That’s a crooked tree. We’ll send him to Washington.
Just a happy little shadow that lives in there. I’m gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue We spend so much of our life looking – but never seeing. We can fix anything.
That’s why I paint – because I can create the kind of world I want – and I can make this world as happy as I want it. It’s a good way of getting rid of all your anxieties and hostilities. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. Let your imagination be your guide.
And I know you’re saying, ‘Oh Bob, you’ve done it this time.’ And you may be right. You can work and carry-on and put lots of little happy things in here. This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. In your world you can create anything you desire. Don’t fiddle with it all day.
It’s important to me that you’re happy. You better get your coat out, this is going to be a cold painting. 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. Take your time. Speed will come later. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life – to be able to share this with you.
I get carried away with this brush cleaning. We need dark in order to show light. In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees.
A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. When you do it your way you can go anywhere you choose. This is truly an almighty mountain. Little trees and bushes grow however makes them happy. This piece of canvas is your world. Just make a decision and let it go.
See there how easy that is. There it is. A little happy sunlight shining through there. You’re the greatest thing that has ever been or ever will be. You’re special. You’re so very special. The least little bit can do so much.
You could sit here for weeks with your one hair brush trying to do that – or you could do it with one stroke with an almighty brush. Now let’s put some happy little clouds in here. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting.
Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. God gave you this gift of imagination. Use it. That’s a son of a gun of a cloud.
The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. It’s a good way of getting rid of all your anxieties and hostilities. Let’s put a touch more of the magic here.
Get tough with it, get strong. Let’s build some happy little clouds up here. Let’s go up in here, and start having some fun They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers—just to upset the critics. This is your creation – and it’s just as unique and special as you are. The only prerequisite is that it makes you happy. If it makes you happy then it’s good.
Take your time. Speed will come later. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. But we’re not there yet, so we don’t need to worry about it.
I thought today we would make a happy little stream that’s just running through the woods here. Learn when to stop. This is the fun part
Even the worst thing we can do here is good. I’m gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue With something so strong, a little bit can go a long way. The light is your friend. Preserve it.
We can always carry this a step further. There’s really no end to this. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. Only God can make a tree – but you can paint one. Let’s get crazy.
We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. Just make little strokes like that. You don’t have to spend all your time thinking about what you’re doing, you just let it happen.
It’s a super day, so why not make a beautiful sky? We might as well make some Almighty mountains today as well, what the heck. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow. See there, told you that would be easy.
We don’t really know where this goes – and I’m not sure we really care. Use absolutely no pressure. Just like an angel’s wing. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it’s almost like a chocolate brown.
This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. We can fix anything. There are no limits in this world.
How to paint. That’s easy. What to paint. That’s much harder. Mix your color marbly don’t mix it dead. Maybe there’s a happy little bush that lives right there.
We’ll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. We’ll throw some old gray clouds in here just sneaking around and having fun. This piece of canvas is your world.
Just a happy little shadow that lives in there. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper. Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. There isn’t a rule. You just practice and find out which way works best for you.
That’s why I paint – because I can create the kind of world I want – and I can make this world as happy as I want it. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There’s nothing worse than a cloud killer. Isn’t that fantastic that you can create an almighty tree that fast? Nothing’s gonna make your husband or wife madder than coming home and having a snow-covered dinner.
Don’t be afraid to make these big decisions. Once you start, they sort of just make themselves. I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. In your world you have total and absolute power. Follow the lay of the land. It’s most important. If these lines aren’t straight, your water’s going to run right out of your painting and get your floor wet.
Don’t be bashful drop me a line. We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it on canvas. Use what you see, don’t plan it.
It’s important to me that you’re happy. There we go. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. Put it in, leave it alone.
We’ll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. There we go. When you buy that first tube of paint it gives you an artist license. This is gonna be a happy little seascape.
Don’t forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. The more we do this – the more it will do good things to our heart. 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. Volunteering your time; it pays you and your whole community fantastic dividends. Every single thing in the world has its own personality – and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy.
Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. You’re meant to have fun in life. The light is your friend. Preserve it. We’ll make some happy little bushes here.
Isn’t that fantastic? Trees grow however makes them happy. This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you’re experiencing it. See there how easy that is. Everybody needs a friend.
A tree cannot be straight if it has a crooked trunk. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. You create the dream – then you bring it into your world.
We might as well make some Almighty mountains today as well, what the heck. See how easy it is to create a little tree right in your world. We’ll do another happy little painting. You can get away with a lot. The very fact that you’re aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you’re alive and can experience it. A little happy sunlight shining through there.
That’s a son of a gun of a cloud. We’ll play with clouds today. It’s cold, but it’s beautiful.
You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. I sincerely wish for you every possible joy life could bring. These little son of a guns hide in your brush and you just have to push them out. Water’s like me. It’s laaazy … Boy, it always looks for the easiest way to do things Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day. Trees cover up a multitude of sins.
Don’t fiddle with it all day. All you have to do is let your imagination go wild. If you don’t like it – change it. It’s your world. A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Take your time. Speed will come later.
And that’s when it becomes fun – you don’t have to spend your time thinking about what’s happening – you just let it happen. We spend so much of our life looking – but never seeing. This is the way you take out your flustrations. Let the paint work. Think about a cloud. Just float around and be there. Let all these things just sort of happen.
Let’s have a nice tree right here. You can do anything your heart can imagine. If you don’t think every day is a good day – try missing a few. You’ll see. It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Isn’t that fantastic that you can create an almighty tree that fast? Just take out whatever you don’t want. It’ll change your entire perspective.
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 brave. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend.
What the devil. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. Use what you see, don’t plan it. You’ve got to learn to fight the temptation to resist these things. Just let them happen. I thought today we would do a happy little picture.
A tree needs to be your friend if you’re going to paint him. No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen. It’s life. It’s interesting. It’s fun. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. The little tiny Tim easels will let you down.
Nothing wrong with washing your brush. Everyone wants to enjoy the good parts – but you have to build the framework first. The least little bit can do so much. God gave you this gift of imagination. Use it. 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.
Nice little fluffy clouds laying around in the sky being lazy. Just think about these things in your mind – then bring them into your world. You can’t have light without dark. You can’t know happiness unless you’ve known sorrow.
We don’t really know where this goes – and I’m not sure we really care. I’m sort of a softy, I couldn’t shoot Bambi except with a camera. The man who does the best job is the one who is happy at his job.
Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. Don’t be afraid to make these big decisions. Once you start, they sort of just make themselves. That’s why I paint – because I can create the kind of world I want – and I can make this world as happy as I want it. In this world, everything can be happy. Each highlight must have it’s own private shadow.
Let’s make a nice big leafy tree. Now then, let’s play. Those great big fluffy clouds.

See how easy it is to create a little tree right in your world. Let’s have a little bit of fun today. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. Brown is such a nice color.
This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you’re experiencing it. With practice comes confidence. See. We take the corner of the brush and let it play back-and-forth.
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. I’m a water fanatic. I love water. There are no limits in this world. It’s life. It’s interesting. It’s fun.
When things happen – enjoy them. They’re little gifts. This piece of canvas is your world. Of course he’s a happy little stone, cause we don’t have any other kind.

And I will hypnotize that just a little bit. Let your heart be your guide. In your world you have total and absolute power. Let’s make a happy little mountain now.
We artists are a different breed of people. We’re a happy bunch. Just make little strokes like that. We’ll play with clouds today. There’s nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend. Everyone needs a friend. Friends are the most valuable things in the world.
That’s crazy. It is a lot of fun. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen.
Only eight colors that you need. Let’s give him a friend too. Everybody needs a friend. Maybe there’s a happy little bush that lives right there. We’ll lay all these little funky little things in there. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger.

We spend so much of our life looking – but never seeing. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. Let’s build some happy little clouds up here. Don’t forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you. Paint anything you want on the canvas. Create your own world.
In this world, everything can be happy. Put it in, leave it alone. How to paint. That’s easy. What to paint. That’s much harder.
A happy cloud. Working it up and down, back and forth. We want to use a lot pressure while using no pressure at all.
It’s cold, but it’s beautiful. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. There it is.
Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day. But we’re not there yet, so we don’t need to worry about it. It’s hard to see things when you’re too close. Take a step back and look. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. Every highlight needs it’s own personal shadow. You’re meant to have fun in life.
Everybody needs a friend. Let’s put some highlights on these little trees. The sun wouldn’t forget them. We’ll make some happy little bushes here. Let’s go up in here, and start having some fun You can do anything here. So don’t worry about it.
Trees live in your fan brush, but you have to scare them out. There it is. We must be quiet, soft and gentle. If you hypnotize it, it will go away.
Maybe there’s a happy little Evergreen that lives here. It’s almost like something out of a fairytale book. And I will hypnotize that just a little bit. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. Isn’t it great to do something you can’t fail at? We’ll throw some old gray clouds in here just sneaking around and having fun.

The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. If you didn’t have baby clouds, you wouldn’t have big clouds. Let’s put some happy little bushes on the other side now. All you have to learn here is how to have fun.
Working it up and down, back and forth. This painting comes right out of your heart. Do an almighty painting with us.
Go out on a limb – that’s where the fruit is. Decide where your cloud lives. Maybe he lives right in here. How to paint. That’s easy. What to paint. That’s much harder. Trees grow in all kinds of ways. They’re not all perfectly straight. Not every limb is perfect.
There we go. Let your heart take you to wherever you want to be. Paint anything you want on the canvas. Create your own world.
A little happy sunlight shining through there. Just think about these things in your mind and drop em’ on canvas. That’s what makes life fun. That you can make these decisions.

There is immense joy in just watching – watching all the little creatures in nature. For the lack of a better word I call them hangy downs. We have all at one time or another mixed some mud.

Anything that happens you can learn to use – and make something beautiful out of it. You gotta think like a tree.
It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Trees live in your fan brush, but you have to scare them out. If we’re gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. Just use the old one inch brush. We’ll put some happy little leaves here and there.
