Thanks Bob. Always learn something new from you. This, to me, is also a good lesson in limited palette, and keeping the colour harmony with pleasing results!
A v.good lesson Bob. I love the effects that can be achieved by this method. A big THANKYOU. Love your demos, you bring joy to a Monday morning here in England.❤
I love mixing with black to desaturate colour, some people think mixing with complementary colours is superior. I mix both ways, mixing with black retains the hue and desaturates while mixing the perceived complementary colours almost always ends up changing the hue but desaturates to a lesser extent than black in general. I’m glad someone else likes black - it opens up a lot of possibilities and can instantly enhance a painting
I love you said, "refused to do it" cause I was there. Until I started to study the baroque techniques and found myself studying the value scale and found how essential it is.
Bob I’ve been enjoying your page a lot this week. I think I’ve watched nearly all of your videos I would like to ask you a question about copyright. I’ve been a professional artist now for several years and learnt many techniques from different artists. I recently see a video of a RU-vidr doing exactly the same flower painting as you and didn’t mention you. I’m just wondering as you are a teacher how do you feel about people creating art in the exact same style or techniques you are teaching and therefore selling or showing and can you give me a long-term artists perspective on this. As I watched a vid of a artist painting poppies one evening next day I painted poppies with some of her techniques didn’t look the same I shared it with her and she went right off at me saying it was her painting “ can I not paint poppies again cos she painted them red and in the same composition?? I would LOVE your opinion on this as I have now painted several flower paintings and wondering if I’m allowed to sell them in your view cheers. Many thanks your page is fab your classes are amazing thank you.. I have my view on it but will love to hear yours xxx
Hi Karlena, You wrote a similar/exact question as a comment on another BobBlast - I am going to answer both with this response. In my in-person and online workshops, I encourage students to copy me and my techniques so they can learn - realizing that anything THEY do will be different from mine. Most students find their own voices after awhile. It is always nice to be acknowledged on social media, but as you know - not everyone will say where and who influenced them. When it comes to copyright, I may own a specific image I created, like a bouquet of red flowers on a green table in a yellow room. The copyright is for THAT image only, not ALL the bouquets of red flowers on green tables in yellow rooms. According to copyright law, you can exhibit and sell your work. Hope this helps.
@@RobertBurridge as an artist that also teaches that’s what I believe too. I created a beautiful watercolour rabbit that doesn’t mean other people can’t paint watercolour rabbits.. this argument seemed a little bit ridiculous with this other artist at the time. If you paint it you own it!! not one painting is the same as we all know by painting the same thing many times.. thank you so much for your reply LOVE your work.. I have armed my Artist belt with lots of your fabulous information. You are a treasure to this art world my friend much love from NZ
