BobBlast 467 - "Painting with Neutral Colors"
Weekly BobBlast Issue 467
Painting with Neutral Colors
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
There are many books written about why and how to use neutral colors. I have, for my own work, simplified things by making my own color reference chart about how to make neutrals with only two colors.
The WHY to use neutrals: The background or base color is made by combining the two main painting colors from my Goof-Proof Color Wheel (dominant and focal point color) plus black and white. On a Standard Color Wheel, the complementary colors are combined.
As in cooking, I stir these colors until I get the "quiet" color I want. This is not an exact science… it's about making the color I want.
The HOW to use neutrals: Watch the video. You will see I have made a studio reference chart that I follow. I look for the neutral I want, then mix the two pure, clean colors - plus black and white.
An example: I want to use a neutral khaki color for a painting. The two pure colors are green and purple. This works, because even though this may be a limited palette of green and purple, mixing them helps hold the painting together as a unified, cohesive unit. It's a happy family!
Like I've said before, shift into the neutral gear to move forward!

We have an online workshop coming up!
