Static rolled across the screen as the tape began to roll in the machine. An image slowly flickered into existence, displaying a man standing in front of four easels. The rest of the surroundings a simple black. The camera staying focused on him as he began preparing, white paint being brushed evenly over the canvas. 
 
 `` Now let's go over the colours again. Today we'll be focusing on four. Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow, Sap Green, and Van Dyke Brown. Now I've always said that anyone can paint, and God willing it's true. Without you, we would n't be able to bring out these colours onto our almighty easel.'' The man flashed his signature smile, his soothing tone pouring from his lips like honey. The camera panned lightly to reveal that before him he had a very small audience of four children, one seated a bit further back from the others. Their mouths covered, wrists bound tight the arms of the chairs they sat upon. 
 
 `` Today we're all going to experience the joy of painting together. Remember, there's no such thing as accidents.'' He turned away from them now, working his magic on the easel. Each brush stroke seemed so perfectly place, as though he were tearing windows in reality to places in time displaying nature. His smile never left, his hand swooping back and forth across the canvas. He turned again, looking towards one of the children. Behind him a small forest path was painted, his brush resting casually one his palette. The child's eyes welled up at the sight. `` That's right, you remember this place do n't you? It's where we met, is n't that such a happy looking trail? Now, you know what that means do n't you? You get to be the first to help me display the joys of painting to the world.'' 
 
 The man walked forward now, just out of view of the camera. Soon his voice came out again,'' Now this may come as no surprise to you, but the human body has so many vibrant colours, just hiding inside. You just have to get them out. We'll start with the Alizarin Crimson, as it's the most obvious and easiest colour. Now you have to be careful, because while everyone can paint. The most vibrant and natural comes from the younger of God's children. Little Tommy here is seven years old, that makes him just perfect.'' 
 
 There was a brief pause, the easels being moved in an instant. It seemed that the recording was paused and resumed, the man now stood in front of another blank canvas, a smile on his face as he directed the brush to a patch of red paint. `` Next we'll draw a nice little brick house I think. How does that sound? It will be perfect for showing off the beauty of this Alizarin Crimson. Let's start with a base coat, juuust like that. There we go. Now how about we give it a happy little roof hmm?'' His soothing voice continued as he painted, and before long the image on the screen was of him standing by a painting of a little brick house, trees to either side. `` Next we'll go over Sap Green and Cadmium Yellow. Some of my favourite colours. Now, it's a little known fact, but you can actually separate the pigments of Bile with the right preparations. Of course, if it's not fresh from the liver, it looses those properties we look for.'' 
 
 Another jump in the video, the man staring calmly into the camera now, hand lifted a bit. The canvas behind him had a mountain, the painting looking nearly done. `` Oh my, it seems we forgot to continue recording. But just like in painting there are no accidents, I'll just go over what I've done for you all.'' He motioned with the brush, explaining the various brushes, trees, and the method he used for painting the sides of the mountain. He turned, and with a few more strokes, finished the piece. `` And today's final explanation is for the Van Dyke Brown, this colour takes a bit more work than the others. After all, developing bone marrow is really the only thing with the right balance for the almighty canvas. We'll need to break the bones and scrape it out to mix it with our prepared base. Now you could use store bought, but with genuine colours, you can really experience how happy you can be while painting a pretty little picture. With that being said, I hope I've explained the techniques for you. With these I hope that you can all truly experience the Joy of Painting. So until next time, happy painting, and god bless my friend.'' 
 
 The image slowly faded out to darkness and static, the man staring into the camera the entire time. His ever present grin and unblinking eyes staring ever forward.
