- Value, Light Source and Living Color!
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
We continue with value, contrast and light source... but this time with color! I decided to start with a simple object - a coffee cup - for the demonstration of building color on top of a ground of mid tone orange gesso. As with previous BobBlasts, I sketch out the initial coffee cup with the lightest light, establishing the direction of the light source at the very beginning.
Just like the ball in the last BobBlast, I anchor my simple, everyday coffee cup on a table, and knowing the direction of the light source, I sketch in my shadow. It's good to get the preliminaries all thought out in the beginning!
Back to the mid tone orange gesso... Remember, I gesso everything first. With these value/contrast/light source studies, using a mid tone gesso gives me an excellent starting point. I pour the gesso directly onto the canvas and spread it around - using a 1/4" piece of discarded foam board as my spreader. It's fast, simple and disposable. I am ready to paint within minutes.
Next layer is my loose sketch of the coffee cup. My job is to work out the dark areas and the light areas, since my mid tone has already been established by the gesso. My light source is from the LEFT, therefore the shadow is on the RIGHT.
I have decided to make the Coffee Cup red - one reason is because the mid tone is orange. I paint in the darkest darks and lightest lights, making sure that my formula of "Dark Against Light, Dark Against Light" is evident. I like using short, choppy strokes - this is not airbrush with smooth transition of color and value. First and Foremost, this is a loose painting, so I prefer to push paint around on the canvas to get that spark and painterly feel I'm after!
After that spontaneous outburst is done, the next layer uses colors from my Color Wheel. Work all over the canvas - all the time. I suggest not staying in one area too long. (You just might tickle it to death!) After that layer dries, I continue with layers of pure color, giving attention to the light source.
Paint your dead paintings into Living Color with:
* A Strong Light Source
* A strong Color Combination
* A strong Composition
* A strong Commitment
* And Contrast in the back of your mind
Practice Practice Practice!
You are the most generous teacher on internet .Thank you !
Great instruction. Value, contact, light source. Life is a series of basics.
Thanks - I totally agree with you - "Life is a series of basics" - great quote!
Your infectious enthusiasm makes you a joy to watch, and I learn a lot from you. Many thanks!!
Lovely Colors and I think the Real secret of your painting is the loose brushstrokes dancing in space and the nice short brushstrokes smiling, giggling and having happy little accidental meeting 🧡❤️😺
Thank you Lis!
I would love to have you as a teacher. I need to "loosen up" my tight strokes. Thank you for bringing life and JOY into painting!!! Be blessed and loved and creative!!!
What a happy painting and a joyful painting process 💚
Thank you!
the best teacher on youtube. this is awesome if i could hit that like button a 100 times i would
You are a breath of fresh air.. So glad to find you on TH-cam
You paint like a confident, brilliant 5 year old! This is truly a compliment! Thank you for simplifying the basics. So thankful I found your channel ‼️‼️♥️♥️♥️
Bob Blast is the best TH-cam channel I have found for art. Abstract or representation, Robert Burridge is the best! I’m learning everything I was taught long ago in a fresh new way that resonates.
I love how you just flow with your instinct in such a loose manner. That is something I need to work on. You're a very inspirational person!
Thank you so much for all your valuable information. I have learnt more from you in one session than I have in nearly a year listening to other videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach and share your real knowledge. Your enthusiasm is awesome! From a very grateful student in South Africa!!
I love ... your OWN STYLE....
COLOR ... DIVINE COLOR AND DRAWS....
I found your tutorials perfect to learn. I tried my first coffee cup today although it looks like a tea cup.
I’m from UK and you don’t come this way. Thank you for sharing. Sometimes I sit and play them in bed because it relaxes me. Warmly Jacqui
I sit down and watch you paint for hoursss. Can't get enough. Sending you much love & joy. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I started at Carnegie Tech in 1960;
pneumonia put me nearer home at Seton Hill in Greensburg, Pa. I finally got my baffled from University of Houston in 1994;40 years after I started. I’d been drawing and painting since childhood. My reason for getting in touch with you is that I think I am learning more from you than I have since Tech!I appreciate the good, humorous, and helpful things you say between what is more “technical” things. For a couple of years I was completely blocked. I hope to become as relaxed and easy going as you are, and let the joy back into painting and have that joy be seen in the work! I’m quite grateful to you, and pray God’s best blessings come to you adding to what you already have. Because I follow Jesus, I do this in His name. You are a precious man!
I love painting LARGE. I just love your coffee mug painting. I mostly work with pastal sticks. I use my fingers to create. Love the contact as I'm running my fingers through pastels to canvas.🖼🎨😍
Thanks Diana! Finger painting is mighty fun!

you remind me of willy wonka. Some crazy appearing man, that seems to say random common sense with erratic behavior, but ultimately is peeling back layers (or adding them!) to reveal this deep hiddn beauty of joy that all has huge purpose. TY bob.

Bob, these are great clips, I am learning a lot. Also, they are short enough and fast-moving enough to keep my attention. They are so entertaining, I found myself watching four of yours in a row. I had better stop now and take a break! Thanks for the generous sharing and the inspiration.
