BobBlast 318 - "Put It in Neutral!"

Weekly BobBlast Issue 318
Put It in Neutral!

Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!

Color excites me. Bright circus primaries as well as early morning grey fog at the beach. One just screams color! The other whispers neutral color. Then the focal point appears - a bright, solid color like a red light, a yellow raincoat or a green neon sign.

This BobBlast is all about neutral colors. How to make neutrals - why I like to use neutral colors in my paintings - and how to make your own Color Chart as a studio reference. This demo is about surrounding the strong focal point color with neutral complementaries PLUS white. This helps to reinforce a cohesive overall togetherness in your work, rather than a fragmented look or feel.

Neutral colors are made my mixing the complementary colors on a Standard, Universal Color Wheel. My Goof-Proof Color Wheel works as well as the Universal Color Wheel, as I adopt the concept of "color across the wheel" as the new complementary. I made my own color reference chart, showing what neutral colors can be easily made by mixing.

So, to dial back or tone down a color, add a bit of the "color across the color wheel" plus white - and there you have your own beautiful neutrals! If you practice your neutrals, you won't be parked in reverse!

Watch for a one-day online workshop with Bob about mixing neutrals and painting with neutrals!
