Carrots with Attitude!
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
This BobBlast is a fun subject - I have heard from so many people that they LOVE my carrot people… today’s demo takes the carrot people a step further!
When I'm painting the illusion of the human form - I think "Carrot." A dot for the head and then brushing in an abstract figure shape underneath the dot. I practice the shapes over and over with only black acrylic paint and a big brush.
When I practice painting carrots, I exaggerate the poses and add a dramatic element of suggested capes, hats and other fashionable accessories. I often start with black acrylic paint to get the basic shape and pose, then add the colors after the black base has dried.
So, this last week I was in my studio, painting and I happened to look in my water bucket - there was shape that reminded me of a carrot person - but it was SO MUCH MORE! The stance was comical and exaggerated. “This could be fun,” I thought.
I took out a full sheet of Kilimanjaro watercolor paper, Holbein Acrylic Inks in Magenta, Ultramarine and Black. I also grabbed my trusty favorites - Marigold and Luminous Opera acrylics. I selected a big brush - loaded it full of pure color and water and began splashing a whole row of “human shapes” - letting them drip down.
At this point, I can draw back into the wet paper with water-soluble pencils - I can let the colors flow into each other - I can wipe away some of the color, leaving stained sections. Pure moving paint around and doing a lot of “what if” experimentation.
In painting these Carrots with Attitude, I think about movement, motion, action… what are these goofy figure doing? Dancing, Stretching, Running, Fencing - the list is endless! Give you and your viewer something fun to look at.

Hello Bob! I Love this. It’s looks So easy watching you do this but doing it is a bit more difficulty.
The secret is practice. Thanks!
Love it.
Thank you!
Love these !!!
Thank you!
Oh Boy!! Another classic saying from Master Artist Bob Burridge!! "We're not going for pretty... we're going for HOLY COW!" This is a fantastic art slogan for my special wall in my studio. And you know, it has several sayings from Professor Burridge!! By several I mean four, and I have more printed out and I rotate them :) Bob is a one man art school! I went to a traditional art school in the 70s. I'm still getting more Knowledge and Inspiration from Bob.
Appreciate your kind words!
Thanks Bob. I think personality is key in any drawing or painting, its that that keeps the viewer interested not perfection. As always a really great video. 🙂
Thank you, Andrea
I love this! thank you!
Thank you!
Beautiful effects....definitely will give it a go...!
Mr Burridge I love your Imagination .

Bob, I love your new black smock!
Thanks for noticing! I bought two more - retiring the olds ones!
Love you, Bob. You're a blast!
I almost skipped this video because it sounded crazy. Glad I watched! Great idea!
Thanks!
Mr. Burridge you've blown my mind. The possibilities...the color.
Thank you!
I'm so happy to have found your channel. You have such a delightful and unique perspective and I look forward to creating carrots with personality! Cheers .
Thanks Heather!
Thank you Bob! I love you carrot figures! Beautiful in mono but in colour! Wow! What personalities and movement your carrot figures have! To me your figures are all playing instruments in a lively band having an absolute whale of time! 'Sergeant Carrots Lonely Hearts Club Band' maybe! I'm giving that a go in watercolour, standing back and letting the paint and water do the work!
Sounds wonderfful!
I love this guy 😂
Awww... thanks!
So much fun... Going to to tey this for sure. Thanks Bob!!
I am blessed to have found your channel!!!

Thank you Janis!
Bob! Thank you sooooo much for sharing this video. I learned how to do your carrot people and I use your method. Now I will have to try this method! Also, I loved that you mentioned your inspiration was from the dripping paint in your water holder. I do that all the time. I started a whole series of girls that I was inspired by looking at pics of umbrellas.
Perfect!
As always, you make painting fun!,
Thanks!
Great
