Best of BobBlast - Why Neutrals and How They Work!
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
There are many books written about why and how to use neutral colors. I have, for my own work, simplified things by making my own color reference chart about how to make neutrals with only two colors.
The WHY to use neutrals: The background or base color is made by combining the two main painting colors from my Goof-Proof Color Wheel (dominant and focal point color) plus black and white. On a Standard Color Wheel, the complementary colors are combined.
As in cooking, I stir these colors until I get the "quiet" color I want. This is not an exact science… it's making the color I want.
The HOW to use neutrals: Watch the video. You will see I have made a studio reference chart that I follow. I look for the neutral I want, then mix the two pure, clean colors - plus black and white.
An example: I want to use a neutral khaki color for a painting. The two pure colors are green and purple. This works, because even though this may be a limited palette of green and purple, mixing them helps hold the painting together as a unified, cohesive unit. It's a happy family!

I really wish I had the opportunity to shake Bob's hand and tell him that he's a true inspiration...We love you Bob...for what you do and the way you do it! Greetings from Athens, Greece.
Great as usual Bob.I love when you say whoa! 😂❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I absolutely love all of your videos Bob. Thank you for making painting so fun and uncomplicated.
If budding painters had to pick one lesson this should be it.
Thanks Bob.
That was a good lesson. Thank you.
Thanks Bob! You are always uplifting, inspiring and so very generous! And you are always whetting my artistic appetite.
I love this! Got more in a few mins than I may have grasped in art school! Thank you. Love your painting you whipped out
Excellent demonstration as always! ❤
Inspiring and informative! Thank you, Bob!
Thanks for making this video, Bob, and sharing the power of neutrals. Such an important concept in painting, in any medium, any "style."
I need to start making neutrals. My artwork screams! Great demo Bob. 😄
Thanks Bob😊
This was GREAT, thank you
Hi Bob
Tank you so much for your Knowledge
Receive a grate hug from Portugal

Bob thank you for the best advice always, I’m going to start on my color palette chart today
I started doing this a few years ago, but with a very pale background made from the compliment and gray mixed with lots of white. That complimentary color is so important. Then I painted flowers using the base color and compliment, plus colors like your bright pink yellow etc. I love your method and want to try the more abstract style and make brighter, more colorful artwork.
Good to know BB.ty.
Thank you! 😊
Awesome lesson BOb!😊
Grazie maestro per questa bella lezione sui neutri. Mi piace molto usare i toni neutri, ma lei mi ha fatto capire che, usandoli come base, e dipingendo in seguito con pigmenti puri, questi ultimi diventeranno più splendenti . Ho già provato la tecnica, ovviamente aveva ragione. Thanks!
Thanks, I need to know that!
God I love this guy!!!
