Paint Wussywat the Clumsy Cat

Wossat? 'Ello!

-Oop!

-Hey!

-Sorry, Ortus.

Hey, Duckadile!

Hi, Ird.

Whoop, ooh.

'Ello.

It's a bright sunny day in the garden,

and Ird is busy with something.

Ooh! A bit of yellow here. Dum-dee-dum-de-de-dum-dee-dum.

And a touch of blue there.

But where's Wussywat?

Ah, here he is.

Um, Ird. Wossat?

Ssh, Wussywat! Ird's painting a picture.

I think she's concentrating.

Don't worry, almost finished.

Ooh, when I'm done I think I'll call it My Garden.

Oh, I wish I knew how to paint.

Can you teach me, Ird?

Well, it's my pleasure, I'll teach you one step at a time.

How exciting, Wussywat. A blank canvas just for you.

Are you ready?

Yes! But what am I going to paint?

Look, Wussywat. Ird is painting the sky with the blue paint.

Ooh! Oops, that's yellow. That's blue.

Oh, dear. I mixed the blue and yellow by mistake

and got a grassy colour!

That's green, Wussywat.

Blue and yellow always make green when you mix them.

Ooh, that's easy to fix.

You change your brush and I'll turn your world upside down.

Ta-da!

Ungh!

-Careful there, you might end up...

-Oh!

..doing that.

Ooh, you've done it now, clumsycat, I'll have to clean those now.

But don't worry, you never get it right first time with painting.

Off you go and get dabbing again, I'll tidy these up.

Thanks, Ird. Sorry.

Dum-de-dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum-de-dum-pum-pum.

This is fun! Dab dab dab dab!

Yes, it looks like you're getting the hang of it.

It's a bit splodgey though and it doesn't really look like anything.

Oh, hey, Wussywat! What are you doing? You painting a picture?

-Ooh, can I squirt it?

-No, Duckadile, stop it!

Ooooh, my beady eye! What have you done?

BOTH: Sorry, Ird.

Um, we, uh, made a mistake. Um, Duckadile got squirty and...

Oh! The paintings are amazing!

The way you've captured the light, it's, it's, pfft, it's new art!

It doesn't even look like anything.

I think Ird likes the colours, Wussywat, and the shapes.

It's called an abstract.

A wossistract?

Painting isn't just about making pictures to look like things.

You can create your own patterns too.

It's all about feeling the shapes, you see.

Like taking the line for a walk.

-There.

-Ooh, they are nice shapes, Ortus. Can I have a go?

NARRATOR: Steady there, Wussywat. Take it slowly like Ortus says.

-Watch out for that crab, Wussywat!

-Whoa, whoa! Ooh!

Oh, dear.

Oh, it's not good. I can't paint at all.

I'll never be able to take my line for a walk.

A-ha-hoo! Look at that pattern that wab has made with his feet.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

An idea, Wussywat?

I wonder what it is.

You'll see, hoo-hoo.

Can you help me, Duckadile?

What are you doing, Wussywat?

Are you going for a walk, Wussywat?

Yes! I'm taking my line for a walk. Ha-hey!

Oh, you are the little artist now, aren't you? Can I have a go?

Come on, everyone, we can all take our lines for a walk.

SQUELCH

SQUELCH

Well, this deserves to be seen properly.

ALL: Oooh!

Wow, that's a beautiful painting! Look at all those patterns.

What a great team of painters you are.

And it's thanks to the new artist, Wussywat!

Ooh, what you going to call it? All masterpieces need a name.

I think I'll call it One Step At A time. Hoo-ha-hey!

What a good name, Wussywat. You are a clever cat.

WUSSYWAT LAUGHS

Bye-bye!
