Bob's Quiet Side - Painting with a Light Touch
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
In this BobBlast I am working on a light-filled vase of flowers - and tapping into the lighter side of Bob! My approach is to stay quiet and lightly paint with watered-down Holbein Artist Acrylic Paint - using watercolor techniques with these heavy body acrylics. Holbein Artist Acrylics are a full body, heavy-pigmented load, which means it can be watered way down without the pigment breaking up. The Holbein line of acrylic paints are all compatible - they also have fluid acrylics and acrylic inks that do practically the same thing as the heavy body paint.
This demo is about a light touch with lots of water! My concept is a vase of flowers. Composition is off-balance.
My materials…
•300 lb Fabriano Artistico HP, half-sheet
•Holbein Artist Acrylic Paint, colors:
Pyrrole Red Light
Luminous Opera
Primary Magenta
Hansa Yellow
Middle Green
Compose Blue #2
Ultramarine Deep
Lamp Black
Titanium White
•Large, soft brushes, like Isabey Petit Gris or Cheap Joe’s Pseudo Sables
My technique is to start wet, loose, using so much water that it almost paints itself. I build the paints lightly (almost transparent). To remain “light” I wet and soften some edges that merge into the white, un-gessoed paper. My goal is to remain true to the original concept, and not fall into what I normally do - more color and more splashing. My commitment for this painting is to keep it light.
Imagine that… Me - with this much self-control! Follow the light!

When you paint I’m just amazed at how effortlessly you seem to approach it and how great it turns out. It’s almost like a painting meditation. Love these painting videos!
Thanks Laura - I have practiced for many years!
14 minutes of brilliance, simplicity and training .....so good. Thank you Bob
Thank you Steve!
Hi Bob I love seeing you here, just want u to know me and my 2kids watches your videos and learn art from you and I just want to thank you and that you are an inspiration may God Bless you and we wish you happiness and good health
Fantastic! I love love love LOVE watching you paint! OMG, Lovely
I love that you slowed things down and gave us a real feel for your botanical process. Love your style!
Thank you. Watching you painting made my day brighter!
Do you have an open studio i can come meet you anytime? I really love your art. You are one of my favorite artists. I am an abstract artist, self taught. You are a true inspiration. I am turning 50 the end of the month and my husband wanted to take me to California to meet you or at least see your studio. We are in Arizona, so we would make the drive. 😊
Love seeing you paint flowers and vases, I can never get enough! So much fun. Thanks
Thanks Kathy! I am going to do another Floral Vase BobBlast very soon!
Hay Bob, this quiet session is amazing.... love all the WATER you use!! Hope ya'll had a great holiday. Hugs, C
This was Fantastic. It is a pleasure to watch you create. You voice is so calming and meditative.
Nothing is more helpful than hearing a painter talking through a painting. Love your ideas, thoughts and decisions as you paint. ❤️🎨
I like this side of you Bob, I loved the painting. Fun to watch, very informative. More of this please!
Thank you for this video. It is lovely. I love watercolors but decided to try acrylics. Such a struggle, why didn't I think of this? You have renewed my interest in painting..
I enjoyed this so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Bob!
OMG. I just found you and have been trying all different types of watercolor but THIS is what I LOVE. You make it feel child-like and totally attainable (unlike some of the other styles I have tried). I don't have acrylics but will give this a go with watercolor. I can't say enough about your teaching style - so encouraging and just having fun. Art shouldn't feel like WORK (unless one has to pay the bills). Thank you so much for sharing.
Fantastic! Yes this technique will work great with your watercolors. Have fun!
Thank you Bob, Now this is relaxing and inspiring, I'm going to try it out. Just love the way you always give instruction on what I'd like to try.
Thank you Marianne!
Im from England and very much adore your style of painting. I always eagerly await your new videos. Thankyou Bob
I love you BOB!!! You have become my favorite art teacher!! I absolutely adore your personality, talent and appreciate you being REAL. There are too many “art snobs” out there but not you😇 You don’t intimidate but you bring out the best...thank you so very much🥰
Stunning! You are so talented! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us! Absolutely love your style!
Thanks Sheri!
Wow! What a change! Very entertaining!
Lovely meditating painting 🙏🦋
Thanks Bob…. that was relaxing, love the happy colours 😊
simply beautiful
Bob what do you do with the paintings you no longer care for or just practice with? I put two terrible canvases out in garbage they were covered several times over and disgusting but serviced their purpose and one of my neighbors scooped them up I don't know which neighbor but I'm horrified they were really terrible not what I really wanted anyone to ever see I guess next time I'll put spray paint on them. I have learned so much from you and so happy that you are helping so many others. I'm up in age so I'm painting everyday hoping to give my (great grand. Kids a masterpiece ha! Ha!
This is so darn clever! Every video this guy does is fascinating to watch. I am amazed at every painting.
Your sharing is so good . Beautiful painting .😍💓💓💓
Superb from a frosty UK ! 🇬🇧

Beautiful painting , I thank you
Thank you Anna!
a real pleasure to see you with big brushes water and paper! a very relaxing video
Love this!
Beautiful picture!👍😊💐
Thank you!
Are Holbein paints different to other acrylics? i thought adding so much water caused them to crack or something, according to other artists on UA-cam...
Holbein Artist Acrylic Paints are heavy bodied paints with a great deal of pigment. I have found that I can add a lot of water to them and they won't break down.
Everything you touch comes out nice. And you didnt even try. Thank you. You teach very well.
Thank you Diane! I practice a lot!
Just watching this was therapeutic!
I love the bright colors! It's gorgeous!
I love this one! Thank you!
Thanks Bob! 😊♥️
I love it, thanks
So good.
Awesome. Thank you!
Love this method May i ask what is the clear stuff below the blue that you dipped into ?
That would be water…
Thanks Bob!
Great video Bob!
