BobBlast 447 - "Best of BobBlast - Goof Proof Color & Design, Any Subject"

Weekly BobBlast Issue 447
Best of BobBlast - Goof-Proof Color & Design, Any Subject
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
This is a very cool BobBlast! The overall idea is you can use the same graphic design composition, no matter what your subject or style.
Plus… in this BobBlast, we address a common design flaw we have all been guilty of -- putting the subject right in the middle of our painting. "Right in the Middle" is a composition too: Called "Spiritual" - Using this composition can cause the painting to have a sense of serenity and reflection.
I prefer the more dramatic graphic design of Asymmetrical, or Off-Balance. With this composition, there is a lot going on in the painting towards one side. On the other side can be the focal point color spot.
In a landscape, I find the busy area on one side (a grove of whimsical trees) and one smaller, single and isolated subject (tree, person, barn) on the opposite side.
Initially I start my looser abstract paintings this way - eventually building the correct colors to match my Goof-Proof Color Wheel - and with the composition design clearly seen at the finish!
Demo is in three parts, using the same Composition (Asymmetrical) and Color Combo (Yellow Dominant).
•Abstract Landscape
•Abstract Floral Vase
•Non-Objective Abstract

Thank you, Bob, for your fun classes. It has really helped me enjoy my work. It's all about fun, right ?😊

[@lauradarcy5684]

My favorite channel on KZbin and my favorite coach/instructor! Thank you so very much, Bob, these Blasts really inspire me!

[@RobertBurridge]

Thank you for the very kind words!

[@joywall9106]

Just found you and you taught me several new things. Thanks. After eighty it’s a little harder.

[@RobertBurridgeBobBlast]

Hi Joy! I will be 81 this year!

[@sevresblue]

Bob I love your Blasts! Discovering you got me through the COVID isolation! I have a request - when ordering something small from your store, the shipping is at least as expensive as the item! Sometimes I start by ordering something small (your travel color wheel, for example), and later order more. So the shipping for a lightweight, small, inexpensive item is huge. I still have attending one of your workshops IRL, though - on my bucket list. Maybe I can pick up things there. And I teach acrylics and ALWAYS direct students to discover your wonderful 'Blasts'. Thank you.

[@RobertBurridge]

Thanks for writing! Shipping fees have gone up and up and up! I am sorry about that, but we do not mark up the USPS fees. We ship Priority Mail with a 2-3 day delivery window. That is one of the reasons why we are expanding our digital line of products. Thank you very much for your on-going support.

Thanks for this “blast “! 😊 I’ve gotten so spoiled by these Holbein neons! I hardly do a painting without putting that magical Luminous Opera somewhere! Your videos are always helpful AND entertaining 🙃

[@RobertBurridge]

Thanks Lisa-Gayle! I feel the same way!

[@viewfromthetop176]
