ANYBODY CAN REALLY PAINT
, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE
THE BASICS AND THE RIGHT
TOOLS.
TOOLS.
TOOLS. THAT IS WHAT DONNA
BRINGS US AND IT IS
TOTALLY AWESOME. IT IS
ALSO STRESS-FREE. WHEN
SOMEONE HAS TO LEARN
SOMETHING NEW, THEY FIND
BLOCKS IN THE ROAD AND
THEY STOP. BUT YOU HELP
US GET THROUGH THOSE
BLOCKADES AND HELP TO
UNLEASH THE ARTIST THAT
IS PROBABLY IN ALL OF US.
>> Guest: IF YOU SAY YOU
CAN'T EVEN DRAW A STICK
FIGURE, YOU ARE THE ONE
FOR ME.

PAINT AND YOU CAN'T USE
A THIN PAINT. I TAKE
LIGHT AND DARK AND PUT
IT TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE
WONDERFUL SHADES IN
BETWEEN.
BETWEEN.
BETWEEN. THEN WE HAVE THE BRUSHES
AND THESE ARE FOLK ART
ONE-STROKE BRUSHES THAT
I DESIGNED FOR MY
TECHNIQUE. WHEN I SHOW
YOU HOW TO USE THOSE,
YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY.
AND LOOK AT THE GUIDES.
THEY ARE MY STROKES AT
HOME WITH YOU AND THEY
ARE COATED SO THAT YOU
WILL HAVE ALL OF THESE
STEP-BY-STEP. WE WILL
PRACTICE AND THEN YOU
WILL HAVE ALL KINDS OF
DESIGNS WITH BIRDS,
INSECTS AND LEAVES.
ISN'T THAT FUN?
>> Host: YEAH. AND YOU
KNOW DONNA, THAT'S A LOT
OF IT.
OF IT.
OF IT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
INCREDIBLE PAINTERS OUT
THERE, THEY UTILIZE A
LOT OF THEIR OWN SPECIAL
SKILLS AND TRICKS TO GET
THINGS DONE.
THINGS DONE. THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN
LEARN.
LEARN.
LEARN. THEY WEREN'T AN ARTIST
FROM THE DAY THEY WERE
BORN AND THERE ARE
THINGS YOU CAN LEARN.
>> Guest: AND PEOPLE
THINK YOU HAVE TO KNOW
HOW TO PAINT. LET ME
SHOW YOU.
SHOW YOU.
SHOW YOU. WE HAVE TWO COLORS
TOGETHER AND WE ARE
GOING TO GO IN BETWEEN.
I CREATED THIS AT MY
DINING ROOM TABLE WITH
SEVEN CHILDREN AND I NOW
HAVE 26 GRANDBABIES.
WHAT I HAVE DONE, I
CREATED THEM YEARS AGO
AND I NOW HAVE 14,000
INSTRUCTORS AROUND THE
WORLD.
WORLD.
WORLD. I
WORLD. I SHOW YOU HOW TO STROKE
THIS AND THEN YOU GO TO
THE NEXT STROKE AND THE
NEXT STROKE.
NEXT STROKE. THEN, WHAT UV MEANS IS
THAT YOU CAN WIPE THIS
OUT AND PRACTICE AGAIN.
SO, I HAVE ALL THE
STROKES. LET ME SHOW YOU
THE LEAVES.
THE LEAVES. YOU WILL LOVE THIS. I
HAVE THE TWO COLORS WITH
THE LIGHT AND THE DARK.
YOU SEE HOW I'M DOING
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? AND
THAT? AND YOU ARE GOING TO USE
FIVE BRUSHES. I'M GOING
TO GET A BIGGER BRUSH SO
I'M BIGGER THAN MY
STROKES. THE FIRST TIME
THAT YOU DO THIS, I WANT
YOU TO DO IT SLOW AND I
WILL TAKE A MINUTE TO
SHOW YOU THAT.
I'M GOING TO START HERE.
MY BRUSHES HAVE A GREAT
CHISEL AND THEY ARE MADE
DIFFERENT THAN REGULAR
NUMBER 12 BRUSHES.
I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THAT
STRUCK -- STROKE.
IT'S REAL SIMPLE. ISN'T
THAT EASY?
THAT EASY? YOU STAND IT STRAIGHT UP
AND THEN YOU PUSH DOWN
AND MOVE IT BACK AND
FORTH AND FILL IT IN.
>> Host: IT JUST TOOK A
LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT. NOW, IT REALLY LOOKS
LIKE A LEAF.
>> Guest: AND THIS IS
ONE OF THE STROKES I AM
SHOWING YOU.
SHOWING YOU. I'M GOING TO COME HERE
AND PUT SOME LEAVES.
IT BLENDS, SHADES AND
HIGHLIGHTS WITH EVERY
STROKE. SO YOU HAVE THE
MEDIUM AND EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. HERE ARE JUST SOME
SIMPLE LEAVES.
SIMPLE LEAVES. THEN YOU HAVE THE FERN.
WHAT I DO -- YOU CAN DO
THIS ON GLASS, CERAMIC,
METAL AND YOU COMPLAINT
-- PAINT ON THE WALL OR
ON -- YOU CAN PAINT ON
THE WALL OR ON FABRIC.
I ALWAYS TRY TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO DECORATE MY
HOUSE WITH WHAT I HAD,
TAKING TRASH TO TREASURE
. WE PAINTED MANY WALLS
AND PIECES OF FURNITURE.
LOOK HOW FAST THAT
HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS
BECAUSE THE BRUSHES ARE
MADE TO SPRING BACK UP.
THEY ARE QUALITY AND
THEY MAKE THIS REALLY
WONDERFUL. I'M JUST
TELLING YOU THAT YOU
CANNOT BECOME A GOOD
ARTIST IF YOU DON'T HAVE
GOOD BRUSHES.
GOOD BRUSHES. >> Host: AND YOU SAID
YOU HAVE THAT CHISEL
FINISH THAT GIVES YOU
THE EDGE AND THE WIDTHS
ARE ALL A LITTLE
DIFFERENT BECAUSE LEAVES
AND FLOWERS ARE DIFFERENT
SIZES.
SIZES.
SIZES. >>
SIZES. >> Guest: AND THE
THICKNESS.
THICKNESS. WHAT I HAVE DONE OVER
THE YEARS IS I HAVE MADE
IT POSSIBLE FOR MILLIONS
TO COME OUT AND START
PAINTING. WE ARE
THRILLED TO BE BACK ON
HSN.
HSN.
HSN. WE
HSN. WE HAVE SO MUCH FOR YOU
GUYS AND WE ARE EXCITED
. THAT IS FOR THOSE
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT IF
YOU HAVE A SPOT YOU
DON'T LIKE, JUST PUT A
WISTERIA ON IT.
THAT IS MY VERSION.
>> Host: THAT IS A TRICK
OF THE TRADE WITH ALL
THE THINGS YOU GET TO
LEARN.
LEARN.
LEARN. NATURE IS NOT PERFECT
AND IT IS WHAT IT IS AND
YOU ARE OKAY TO DO THAT.
I WANT TO REMIND
EVERYBODY TOO THAT WE
rHAVE THE OTHER PAINT SET
AVAILABLE AND YOU CAN
SEE THERE ARE MORE
COLORS ALSO AVAILABLE.
WE ALSO HAVE THE ONE-
STROKE STENCIL AND
PRACTICE SET. WE WILL
TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN
A SECOND.
A SECOND.
A SECOND. I WANT TO MENTION ALL
THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE.
AS I MENTIONED, ANYBODY
CAN DO THIS. YOU JUST
HAVE TO HAVE TIME AND
DESIRE TO OPEN THAT UP.
BY THE WAY, TAKE A LOOK
T SOME OF THE THINGS WE
CAN DO AND CREATE THAT
DONNA HAS PUT TOGETHER.
YOU CAN DO IT ON WINDOW
PAINT AND FURNITURE AND
EVEN ON FRAMES.
THAT IS A LITTLE WATER
CAN ON TOP.
YOU CAN TURN ANYTHING
INTO A PIECE OF ART.
>> Guest: I WANT YOU TO
SEE THAT WE HAVE
BUTTERFLIES, BIRDS AND
FLOWERS. THINK OF
ANYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE
THAT YOU WANT TO TURN
INTO SOMETHING.
INTO SOMETHING. YOU CAN SEE MY NUMBERS.
I HAVE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
AND OVER HERE I HAVE 6,
7, 8, 9, 10.
IT TAKES PRACTICE TO BE
GOOD AND YOU CAN CLEAN
IT AND JUST RE-STROKE
IT.
IT.
IT. YOU
IT. YOU SEE THE SHADING AND
THEN I GET BOTH OF THESE
COLORS WITH MY 12. THERE
ARE TWO COLORS.
GRAB THE WET AND PULL OUT
. YOU ARE JUST PUSHING
AND LIFTING AND THE
BRUSHES SPRING FOR YOU.
WE HAVE 10 COLORS AND
FIVE BRUSHES.
FIVE BRUSHES. I DID NOT COUNT THE
ELEMENTS THIS TIME.
YOU HAVE 11 BY 17
WORKSHEETS THAT ARE THREE
AND TWO-SIDED. YOU CAN
PRACTICE TO YOUR HEARTS
CONTENT. YOU CAN
PRACTICE WITH A FRIEND
AND THEY CAN PRACTICE
WITH ONE SHADE AND YOU
WITH ANOTHER. YOU SEE
HOW FAST IT HAPPENS.
>> Host: I'M ALWAYS SO
IMPRESSED THAT WHAT YOU
ARE DOING CREATES WHAT
IS ON PAPER. YOU DO THE
SIMPLE STEPS AND THEN
WHEN YOU STEP BACK, THE
SUNFLOWER LOOKS LIKE IT
TOOK TWO HOURS TO PAINT
AND YOU DID IT IN 30
SECONDS.>> Guest: I
STARTED PAINTING ON
METAL FOR A COMPANY AND
I HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO DO IT REALLY FAST.
LOOK AT THIS RIGHT HERE.
THERE ARE EVERY
DIFFERENT KIND OF LEAF
THAT YOU WANT TO DO ON A
DIFFERENT FLOWER. I
TEACH IT TO YOU.
IT IS EASY.
>> Host: I JUST SAW WHEN
YOU DID THAT CONNECTING
LINE. THOSE ARE THE
THINGS YOU WILL LEARN
WHEN YOU DO THIS.
AND I AM TELLING YOU
THAT THE LEARNING CURVE
IS NOTHING.
IS NOTHING. YOU GET GOOD REALLY
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. >> Guest: QUICKLY. THIS
IS EVERYTHING YOU WILL
LEARN IN THIS ONE KIT.
NOW, WHEN YOU HAVE 10
COLORS, YOU HAVE THE
FLOATING MEDIUM AND THE
FIVE BRUSHES AND ALL OF
THESE WORKSHEETS.
THESE WORKSHEETS. THIS IS LIKE ME AT HOME
WITH YOU. I WANT YOU TO
KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS. I
HAVE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD. I HAVE
OVER 14,000 TEACHERS

LANGUAGES AND ALL TOO.
THEY CAN ACTUALLY PAINT
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ONE
TOO.

COLORS. REMEMBER THE KEY
IS TO HAVE THE LEARNING
GUIDES AND GO THROUGH
THE STEPS THAT IT TAKES
TO LEARN THE BASIC
STROKES.
STROKES.
STROKES. AND ALSO HAVING THE
RIGHT PAINTS AND BRUSHES
WHICH ARE SO IMPORTANT.
WHEN YOU SAW DONNA DOING
THE SUNFLOWER, YOU SAW
THAT WITH THE BRUSH THAT
YOU NOT ONLY CREATED THE
VINE AND THE LEAVES. SHE
WILL GIVE YOU THE
BRUSHES YOU NEED.
>> Guest: GRABBED THAT
GLASS VASE DOWN THERE.
THIS IS THAT TONE ON TONE

DONJON -- DONNA
MENTIONED IN THE
BEGINNING TOO -- MY
SHIRT ALMOST COVERS THIS
UP -- THE PAINT WILL
COVER ON THINGS LIKE
GLASS AND METAL. THE
PAINT IS THICK AND
STURDY.
STURDY.
STURDY. >> Guest: IT IS GOOD FOR
INDOOR OR OUTDOOR AND
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A
SEALER.
SEALER.
SEALER. IT'S READY TO GO.
IT CAN BE RUSTIC.

THESE ONLINE AND CREATE
ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENTS.
ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENTS. >> Host: HOUSE --
>> Guest: HOW FUN IS
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
RETIRED AND YOU DUDE --
AND YOU DON'T WANT
ANOTHER THING IN YOUR
HOUSE, HOW MANY OF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO DO
GREETING CARDS?
GREETING CARDS? YOU CAN TAKE YOUR
LEFTOVER PAINT AND THROW
IT ONTO SOME GREETING
CARDS AND MAKE SURE YOU
DO THE ENVELOPE TOO.
WHEN MY DAUGHTER PASSED
AWAY, THE ARTISTS SENT
ME THEIR CARDS.
I COULD SEE THAT SOME
WERE BEGINNERS.
WERE BEGINNERS. >> Host: HOW IMPRESSIVE!
I WOULD CRY WHEN I
OPENED IT UP.
>> Guest: I CRIED A LOT.
>> Host: THAT HIS
ARTWORK.
ARTWORK.
ARTWORK. IT IS WONDERFUL TO SPEND
FIVE DOLLARS ON A CARD
AND YOU CAN DO THAT ALL
DAY, BUT IF YOU TAKE THE
TIME TO ACTUALLY PAINT A
BIRTHDAY CARD OR A
CHRISTMAS CARD OR A GET
WELL CARD -- YOU REALIZE
THAT WHEN DONNA CAN PUT
A CAR TOGETHER LIKE THAT
AND IT DOESN'T TAKE AN
HOUR TO MAKE IT.
>> Guest: IT IS NOT
BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.
IT IS PERSONAL.
IF YOU THINK IT DOESN'T
LOOK GOOD, PEOPLE SO
MUCH THINK YOU ARE AN
ARTIST. IT IS QUICK AND
EASY TO BLEND, SHADE AND
HIGHLIGHT WITH EACH
STROKE.
STROKE.
STROKE. >> Host: I LOVE THAT AND
HOW QUICK.
HOW QUICK. DONNA CAN GO THROUGH
SHEET AFTER SHEET OF THIS
. KEEP IN MIND THAT
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT
HAVE BENEFITED AND
LEARNED FROM YOUR
SYSTEMS.
SYSTEMS.
SYSTEMS. PROBABLY MILLIONS. WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT THE
TEACHERS THAT YOU HAVE
INSPIRED TO BE ABLE TO
TEACH THIS.
TEACH THIS. EVERY KID OUT THERE,
LITTLE KIDS, BE KIDS AND
GROWN-UPS, WE ALL HAVE
THE ABILITY TO CREATE ART
. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
HAVING THE RIGHT TOOLS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD
TOOLS IN THE KITCHEN TOO
AND I'M BIG INTO COOKING
