Anything that happens here, you can work with it. Get tough with it. You can do it! It's cold, but it's beautiful. Very gently go across the entire sky. You have to make all these big decisions when you have power. Gentle, swirling motions here. You could sit there with your one-haired brush for a week trying to do that, or you can do it in one stroke with an almighty brush! Don't be afraid of this big brush.

Research Opportunity Name

That knife's a little big... let me get my small knife. Give it a lift-upper. We'll start playing a little bit. Think about form and shape -- how do you want this thing to be? We spend so much of our lives looking, but never, never seeing. Do a cabin-ectomy. You can just go on and on and on. Now we can start picking out some individual things. He's got the leanies!

Another Cool Opportunity

Let's really have some fun. Everybody should paint what they see and what they feel. Just sorta rock back and forth. Just let it go, have fun. Painting used to drive me crazy. ...right on the edge of the blade... Isn't life wonderful? See how easy that is? Don't want much... don't want much...

We're gonna have a light source right in here. I like to be able to create my own world. Let's have some big, fluffy clouds in this painting. Painting offers freedom. Let's put in a happy little sky. Mountains are so simple that they're hard! Let's have some fun! As usual, Bob's gonna do a big tree. If there's a secret to anything, it's practice.

There's no big secret to this. Now we'll fluff it. I like the mountains -- they're my favorite. Blend color right here on the canvas. 'Course I make some mistakes at home, and we call those "abstracts". Use your imagination. I really don't know what we're gonna do except have some fun. Let's take the almighty brush here. I don't know if you can ever make a pet out of an alligator, but I had an alligator who lived with me.
