Weekly BobBlast Issue 361
Best of BobBlast - High Key, Low Key - Both Work!

Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
High Key Low Key
It is a Holiday Weekend - and we decided to take the day off! Enjoy this Best of BobBlast about High Key and Low Key… They both work!

This week's BobBlast shows the way I use my Goof-Proof Color Wheel and the ten color combinations that work for me, every time. It will also show that my color wheel works no matter how dark and intense (low key)… or how light and serene (high key) your painting is. 

My point being - use a goof-proof 4-color combination that always works, no matter how dark or how light the overall effect you want to achieve.

When you want a paint a painting that is primarily GREEN, the dominant green color comes from several greens - dark greens, cad green, lime green etc. I also like making my own green with blue and yellow. I like choices. The same goes for the three remaining colors in this combination - Luminous Opera (hot pink) is the focal point color, Orange and Purple my two spice colors, augmenting the focal point color. So place these two pure colors near the focal point color.

So you can see in the demo, the color you choose doesn’t have to come directly out of the tube. You can choose intensity or softness and give yourself some choices of the same color - it all works!

•My favorite color? The Wettest!
•Who was it that said… I haven’t met a color I don’t love?
•My favorite color? The Color currently on my brush!

Thanks again for watching and telling your friends! All my BobBlasts are archived on my website and my YouTube 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.

Below is a list of featured workshops - but did you know that I also offer private sessions in my studio? Perfect for beginners who want a crash course in watercolor or acrylic or for artists who are designing an exhibit and want to bounce ideas for content and techniques. I devote 100% of my studio time to you! Designed for 1 to 3 people - if you are interested or have questions, email kate@robertburridge.com
