  • The Zambezi River painting begins from a photo taken on the Zimbabwe side of the river.
  • Silver and bronze go in where the sun etches the elephants' backs.
  • Drying time depends on how thick the paint goes on.
  • Colour theory is a guideline, not a set of rules.
  • Bold green lines first, then blues and tans once it dries. The ground colour is turquoise mixed with titanium white.

Part 1 of 7

Effects g'day guys we are back working on our little princess Celine just like before pretty exciting times our brush a big bottle of water our coffee and let's get started I'm just gonna click on to this here we go perfect today guys how are we doing right exactly where we lived off hello Victoria that's unlike you to be the first person to LEAP on not having to go at you or anything but normally Victoria to go is that you leap on about 15 minutes into it and then complain about tick tock hey how are we doing guys finally got the notification for us well that's cool this is good a few little bits and pieces to grip so we're back on the princess side but this isn't the only one we're going to be doing something needs a little bit more on it and then we're going to move on to a few other works that I brought with me the Arizona earlier and also

Victoria what did you make of the long version that I uploaded good morning guys excuse me a little bit that she knows a I think that I've got some hey you've been there but I'm just guessing here we go just a little bit of this color here and there so what did you make of the three minute video was it all good yo what goes on said Jackson what's going on a lot goes on the world continues to go around and we continue to be honest enjoying ourselves having fun doing our thing cheers Jeffrey it's coming to get a bit like that we sat an then we then but before we finish these paintings the same system flies we're impossible so we're in that we're going to pause give it time to settle and then come back to it and make sure that we're happy for all the brush Strokes landed great Alpha today thank you appreciate that right and one other exciting thing is

YouTube has just changed their live streaming from being sideways to being upfront like a portrait star so thanks CJ Roberts you're an absolute Champion so since it's made that change I can now use YouTube to put the replays on so that's pretty exciting so that works that means YouTube can just happen in the background and when it comes time to upload it'll already be there literally straight after the lights first which would be fantastic so you guys aren't always waiting on me bye don't let me fill your heads with false hopes I only committed Dash them because I didn't fully understand technology so that could occur Ginny how we doing let me finish my dinner real quick and be right back that's all good Victoria don't hurry I'll be here for a long time this is going to be a whole bunch of artwork to work on so we're not going anywhere in any kind of hurry so it's all good all you have to

Do is enjoy your dinner you just stand back from it for a moment have a look see if it are we doing yeah that's the right color we've got the correct red there will be there little bits of red at the time a little bit more cover up that little bit of white coming in how am I doing I'm fantastic Jenny I'm having a great day to be here great epic painting is coming along just well just right that's not a guarantee it's going to keep coming along right but it is pretty fun where it's getting into the right place and continuing like that hey CJ Brewers you've just become a 21st member on the team you're absolute Champion one thing I've been loving guys is that it stops calling subscribers it started talking about it as a team and it's really funny because when I was first looking at doing subscriptions and stuff I didn't like the tip I was like I don't want

To have subscribers I want to build a community and a team and people who are part of the same thing I'm part of and now tick tock's calling it a team so I find that really exciting and yeah pretty special your daughter decided to become an art teacher in high school that's fantastic it's been it's fantastic I'm excited you're you're your daughter isn't for a whole lot of fun as a teacher or a practicer or whatever you pursue art I shouldn't say that as a teacher you do practice art you do pursue it but as a teacher you can defend that phenomenal opportunity to educate education I say you educate because I love this word it's a definition of educate is to bring out all not to push and two not to make them learn or Force information to them educate bring information out and so we have this fantastic opportunity as teachers to educate students to bring out what they already have inside them

And that really resonates with me because when I was a young painter and I look at my old works this style and how I like to paint hey Jack is I could see the style inside of what I was doing but it wasn't quite there yet I needed to actually have someone educate me change me develop me in a way that I've realized that there were certain things and how I painted there were deep White and it was certain things and how I painted they needed to be accentuated hello from Santiago California I was just talking to someone from California this morning absolute Champion lovely guy someone reached out just to tell me they liked the art and that's really cool appreciate that a lot hey Ash how you doing good to see you back here Ash hope you're looking after yourself glad you're liking this she wants to live in New Zealand Jenny well you know what New Zealand's a great place we've got

Some quite famous artists here and we are very welcoming got great coffee lots of good things going on here lots of good things more surrounding here this is a very transparent read so what that's going to do is it's going to get into this picture and make sure a lot of these colors a little bit more positive but not taking control of it much more harmonious with solar killers friendly working together with them here we go I'm in love with this picture The Little Prince is saying this is a really special book you guys where did I study Jenny I studied at Nasa University in Wellington and then there was a fine arts and then I studied at otago in the south island and I did art history and philosophy there and what I recommend is go to the place we're closest to your loved ones or go to the place where the city means the most to you because when you're around your loved

Ones or you're in a place you're passionate about regardless of what you're studying or how good the university is you'll feel more of a connection to the place and your peers when it comes to art have a bigger ability to change and evolve your art than any University does the friends you associate with and the family members you surround yourself with that surround yourself with this is what makes the biggest difference in my opinion could be wrong grain of salt always grain of salt but as long as the Jews are somewhere that makes it happy before she chooses it how good the university is that's very enough Rockwell I'm sorry to keep you waiting but that's funny because I've been reading what so if you're a little fixed in I've been reading the comments lately and it's getting harder so glasses might show up sooner than expected my favorite color chops and changes I like blue I like magenta I like Tans occasionally I get

Super excited about Reds and chops and changes guys it's hard to say a little bit in there and a little bit in there we go where else are we gonna go just through here so let's work here it's called The Little Prince of saying and it's going to Hawaii which is pretty exciting I'm the opposite you ended up I ended up hating my Graduate Studies well that happens it happens but yeah let your peers especially after you finish your studies no matter what you've done always let your peers and shaped you know normal ways poke your peers carefully but let them shape you let them change you build you it's an important way to be oh sorry Darius I'm a little wet tall I'm how tall am I forget I thought I was just under six foot but I measured the other day and I'm not I'm like five nine I think but I forget it's a good size to be means I fit easily

Onto plans you get a good night's sleep on a plane weight of the next location rejuvenated ready to travel good way to be there we go what's empty down here it's a little bit more detail perfect now we've got some attention need to go down to these toes flesh out this area through here a little bit more a lot of it's starting to be exactly where we want it to be so it's pretty exciting I look 510 now I reckon I'm sure to look mad guys that's getting enthusiastic but like I say as long as you're under about five eight that's a great place to be and the reason it is because as long as you're not all torso I'm pretty much up torso but as long as you are you can turn horizontal at the plane see the side is free and so you can get as good and rest in the airplane and if you're too tall you can't do that so the

Flight is going to run you out of energy as you travel and so you've got three days at one end recovering from your trails and three days at the other recovering from your travel this is a bad way to be this isn't what you want to make sure that you're right for the location full of energy that's how I feel can you build it up bit by bit favorite music genre I like a lot of different genres guys it's a lot of different songs I've got all the old school songs of all the new songs I like a lot of artists I've had a favorite artist probably be kept more he's a country singer I love what he says but I like Lewis Capaldi I like the attitude and philosophy towards alive I lost all life I like no what's playing six four see this is the problem that's fantastic that you're six for good on you but that's you're right nothing in the world's

Built for you walk into doorways it's hard life it's yeah I can't empathize which means I haven't experienced what you're talking about but I can sympathize that you do experience it so this is a real thing yeah I'm gonna take that lid off the brush now that's a good work with that bridge but we need red probably about purples you love cooking but the back pain makes it hard makes tough that's tough all right here we are hi good morning hey 11 how you doing okay and dust this off here got our Blues binding through our gels here a little bit and then I'm just gonna add these and such and these Blues are going to add a little bit of a counteract it's all the room we just put on balance them out chill them out there's a little bit of green in here as well that's fun it's okay we can all make it all work together their own face doing their own
