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!

Thanks again for watching and telling your friends! All my BobBlasts are archived on my website and my CZcams Channel. We post new studio tips weekly that offer real content, substance and useful techniques that work for me. And they're free! We appreciate your interest, questions, comments and support!
Some of our subscribers have asked about the "behind the scenes" people who make the weekly BobBlast possible - so we want to give a shout out and thank Bo von Hohenlohe for editing the BobBlast videos. Bo also produces websites and helps authors self-publish book. Please visit his website at www.bvhprods.com.
I’ve learned more from a dozen of your “blasts” than from literally hundreds of videos over many years. That is no exaggeration. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever learned as much about painting in as short a time as I have from you. And with color in particular. Ive had a good handle on the basics of drawing, design, composition, values, and edge control but always found it a mystery as to how truly good artists came up with their vibrating and interesting colors yet always in a harmonious way regardless of the color scheme.
That you have no ego, are humble, and are so joyful (or fake it so well lol!) when you paint are just huge bonuses. Whether you do it to market your workshops or for the rewards of sharing your knowledge I don’t care and thank you. I only wish your videos came up in my feed years ago. You are a treasure.
I have loved your videos forever! Should have thanked you before. You are a fantastic artist and a great personality.😘
Hi Bob! I just love this video! I have never before commented on your weekly Bob Blasts, but have been watching them religiously for the past, kind of guessing here, eight years. I have your Loosen Up workbook and your color wheel. I have always loved your abstract paintings, the ones like you have in this video, as well as the ones with figures. - I’m not sure why this particular video with neutrals is really speaking to me, I have to think about it, but let me just say a HUGE THANK YOU to you for all your generosity over the years. I often think about taking one of your workshops, but circumstances haven’t allowed for that. Maybe some day.... In the meanwhile, I will look forward weekly seeing you in your Bob Blasts!❤️🍷🎨👩🏻🎨
;-)
Mind blown! Thanks, Bob!!
I wish I could give a hundred thumbs up for this video. It’s excellent ❤
Thank you, Carole! I appreciate it!
I loved that abstract, full 'o chromatic grays. That's what we learned to call them back in the color theory class in art school in 1976. To me it was a wonderful painting and then Bob put that fluorescent orange traffic sign color on it 😩
Well to each his own and Bob has created SO MANY WONDERFUL paintings that I love here on his CZcams channel!! And we know he's likely to paint over much of that orange anyway 🤣
So... I was in kind of a creative slump when I first ran into his channel a couple of years ago and since then I've painted myself into one of my most productive phases ever in my entire life! 👍🏻
My extreme creative output of late is due, to a great extent, to Bob's amazing teaching style, knowledge, positivity, and enthusiasm!
Bob makes painting fun, as it should be 😃🤣
Thank you great artist & teacher Bob Burridge for who you are & what you do, online & in the studio!!
Thanks Bob. I love this lesson. I am very grateful to you for doing these videos.
Thank you Bob, you're the best.
Bob I totally enjoy your tutorials, you paint with such abandon and I hope to achieve that freedom from fear of “mucking it up” (someday)..
Thank you for the demonstration. I'm going neutral now. You are cool!
I also want to thank you for generously sharing your waste knowledge and experience, in a interesting and always positive approach. Your channel is my go to place for great knowledge and inspiration, THANKS! Keep e'm coming! 😁👍
Wow! I had no idea
You’re the 💥 thanks 😊 this video as well as all your videos fun , and easy to follow as well as interesting 🧐 .
I agree with you, the only way to really learn about colour is by mixing your own colours!
Thank you so much Bob ,you always give me inspiration and I learned from you a lot
💐
Great job as always Bob - have a great week!
Fantastic. Just the demo taught me so much
Hi Bob! I just wanna thank you so much for your lessons! You are really great teacher. After your videos i begun to do abstract paintings and construct my own vision and style. and this video it's exactly that i need right now, just today i thought about i need to change my colors on painting. thanks a lot!
Ooooow, the neutrals. Very restful on the eye. Your hair looks slick (good) Bob
This gave me an idea for a back round for my black cat. I'm thinking greyed blue and purple. I like the strong color against the neutral. I like how you did your color mixing on a big scale. Thanks for the inspiration and instruction.
Thank you. Awesome video
Yup... You must be psychic, Robert... Maybe we knew that already. This was JUST what the Doctor of Art ordered... I will make my chart and work through some problems [situations] today. Thanks as always, Bob. Kenyon in Sedona

If I wondered if you were a graphic designer before, You confirmed it: “that looks like Pantone 403, 404.”
Grazie!!!
Hi Bob, I am so glad I found you! I really enjoy your excellent, informative and fun videos. I would love to buy your colour wheel. Is it available in the UK? Many thanks.
Hi, Bob! It's my first time here. Why do you use a different color wheel?
Wonderful as ever Bob.May I ask you about your Facebook group please? I joined it over 6 weeks ago,and my application is still pending!!!! I was really looking forward to sharing my efforts and learning from the group. Best wishes,Cathy.
