That peek of warmth is great, even for cool green tropical forest views, where I live in North Qld Australia. Seeing you spread that orange background was a nice little shock that jolted my brain.
Always fun to watch you. You have such a fine playfull energy and I guess everyone watching you , will start playing around with making paintings - so many practical usefull ideas and at the same time the true spirit of playfull wonder and curiosity - thank you for all the creative and joyfull sharing og tips and being a playing and creative and joyfull painter
As always a very inspirational demonstration of your warm-up practice. Its pure fun and a great way of teaching by showing your brilliant ways of preparing your workplace and the chosen materials for a theme. - I really enjoy it - Thank you for great inspiration
You are too funny! My grandkids think you’re the smartest artist ever. Memaw how did he know I was here?!?! They call you “the Art Man.” Enjoy your videos, I’ve learned not to be so uptight and self deprecating about my practice pieces. Thank you.
Just after watching you paint orange, I created a piece. It turned out amazing, so very unlike i have ever painted. If only i could share it with you would like to have your views on that. Thanks for inspiring !
Nice!! I'll have to try orange more often. I've been doing a bright magenta after seeing an artist use a NEON purple! Also, your technique for making multiples at once is inspiring! I'll have to try that one.
thank you so much at last someone who gives a good start so you can go ahead and have fun wow was i lucky seeing this today i have partial vision but enough to enjoy colour and ink lines
Hi Bob. Love your informative tutorials. I have a question to ask you and would love it if you might be able to help me? I see you’ve got your white wall behind you and I’m so interested in having a wall at home like that where I can put my canvas up and paint. I currently have a brick wall just sitting there begging to be used and I’m wondering what you put on the wall What is the white board you’ve used? And then how do you fix your boards or canvases to the walls ready to paint on them? Maybe you can help me that would be amazing thanks Bob and keep up the awesome teaching. Have a lovely day many thanks Jayney in Australia 👍🤗
Paint orange over gesso'd canvas or paper. Adding color to white gesso doesn't work so well. It comes out very pastel and it's a waste of the colored paint.
Bob I think you got a little paint on you there ;) . Fun video, great job! I just had to come back to add this: I keep my studio fairly neat now. Not like hotel neat, but much closer to that then your studio. Which is definitely NOT a negative statement. I used to teach art in a studio that looks very much like yours there, and I miss it. So much freedom in a place where you don't worry about splatter. A truly better art experience in most ways.
This week i get holliday for to mess up my studio why in 2 weeks I start again whit give classes afther the summer break. I hate it to mess up now why my freedom to get everything arround me what i need for to create painitings is gone now and is behind doors. Wenn i need it i must looke and get t hem out speciale wen i do mixed media. Its more freedom wen its always there for to take. Otherwise my studio is behind my front door and wen i become visit they come in in my mess....haha. But for me....no problem its my world and my life. My children hate it but here is not a hotel...haha. I stand for what im doing. On my toilet hangs a sentise : Creative people dont have mess but only ideas lays arround. So i warnt t hem so that they understand why it looks like that. To much mess is not good sometimes you must mess up. Otherwise mess give me a lot of ideas to work whit. I guess a lot of artists are like that.
Jes Ewers while they world is quiet we can make a great big mess and we can binge watch our friend Bob 😆😆😆 just wanted to comment here in case you hadn’t watched his videos in a while - they are really contagious.. lol 😂 ✌️
Nel Hoebergen And .. if having an artsy mess keeps my kids from dropping off their kids for long periods of time then it’s a good thing 🥂😂😂👏👏👏 I’m only kidding. My kids live far away. Just commenting to bring ya back to Bobs blasts during this temporary house arrest time. He’s so fun to get the creative juices going. Peace✌️
Thanks for your comment - I use orange as an underpainting because that it how I was trained in Art School. I have oil painter friends who always use red. I chalk it up to personal preference. Did you google your question? You may get more info and viewpoints if you google it! Thanks!
You are so great! Thanks for all you are sharing with us struggling artists....hope to be able to come to a workshop in Texas some day. Or would you come to Belize??? I could come to it there too.
Hi Bob, you mentioned the expensive watercolor paper. I've seen quite a few of your vids, but I'm still wondering why you use watercolor paper and apply gesso instead of just using acrylic paper off the bat.
Love you’re amazing techniques and enthusiasm! Wish we could get Kilimanjaro here but did find some Holbein paint! Loved spending a week with you in Oakville, Ontario for Larger and Looser!
Great idea! I believe Claude Monet would also under-paint his skies with pink! Also I’ve used yellow to under paint as I find it to be too transparent not to be layered over more opaque colors. 😅 whew!
Hey Bob, have you ever used spray gesso? Krylon gesso is the one I have seen at Wal-Mart. I have about 20 large boards I would like to paint over again and reuse for school. Thanks, love your Blasts!
This may sound like a stupid question! I have never worked with watercolour paper much but thought it had to be soaked and taped down so it doesn’t buckle when you paint on it . Am I mistaken ?
I'm curious. Would it matter for opaque colours? Lets say i got a paper and im making it orange with acrylic painting and i want to draw on top of it with oil pastels is it going to make any difference?
Oil pastels require a rough surface. Applying gesso (any color) will smooth out the rough surface, thereby making it harder for the oil pastel to adhere. I apply gesso as a ground, giving me moire working time with the paint - before the paint soaks into the raw, ungessoed paper. Hope this helps.
I love this bloke! Very positive, cheerful, and helpful.
More like BOB BLESS! God bless you, man.
Thanks Bob for reminding us to stay loose!
My kind of painting...thank you
Este es el el mejor canal de pintura, es genial para aprender nuevas técnicas de un gran maestro

That peek of warmth is great, even for cool green tropical forest views, where I live in North Qld Australia.

You can make 9 paintings of 7x10 inch out of that sheet. Or 6 of 8x10 plus some note cards. Depending on what mats you use :)
thank you so much at last someone who gives a good start so you can go ahead and have fun

Bob I thought you finished a bottle of vodka, until I saw how steady your hands were when you cut up those paper squares 😂🤣😂🤣👍🙏🙏
What a great video Bob. Thanks for sharing. So wished I lived State side and not down the bottom of the world in little old NZ!! Cheers, DEB T

Orange gesso! Love this. I have lots of white gesso. Maybe I’ll try to add orange to it before I apply.
Or do a quick wash of orange over a white canvas. It will be more vibrant that way. And you'll use less orange paint. :)
Paint orange over gesso'd canvas or paper. Adding color to white gesso doesn't work so well. It comes out very pastel and it's a waste of the colored paint.
You are super-fun!
I'm here because The Art Sherpa recommended you. I really like your paintings!
Wow, what cutting even on that long line!
Bob I think you got a little paint on you there ;) . Fun video, great job!

Very nice. I would like more in depth explanation of the difference between using the orange or red.
Please?
Thanks for your comment - I use orange as an underpainting because that it how I was trained in Art School. I have oil painter friends who always use red. I chalk it up to personal preference. Did you google your question? You may get more info and viewpoints if you google it! Thanks!
You are so great! Thanks for all you are sharing with us struggling artists....hope to be able to come to a workshop in Texas some day. Or would you come to Belize??? I could come to it there too.
I stumbled upon using a thinned burned sienna, so it's in the orange family but subdued. Warm underpaintings make for happy accidents.
Bob. Thank you for your instructional videos. I was wondering where are you getting the 300 lb paper. Thank you.
Thank you! This helped!
Bonjour
Vraiment trop cool et funny vos video Verrrrrry Good
Thank you so much for your 🤪😜🤣
Hi Bob, you mentioned the expensive watercolor paper. I've seen quite a few of your vids, but I'm still wondering why you use watercolor paper and apply gesso instead of just using acrylic paper off the bat.
Thank you for sharing. Your happy face and nice smile add more enthusiasm and inspiration!
Love you’re amazing techniques and enthusiasm! Wish we could get Kilimanjaro here but did find some Holbein paint!
Loved spending a week with you in Oakville, Ontario for Larger and Looser!
I love it! ❤️ thaaaanks!! I learnt a lot today!!
heheheh this is great!
Fun video Bob.
What kind of paint are you using? Gouache? Tempra? Acrylic?
Great idea! I believe Claude Monet would also under-paint his skies with pink!
Also I’ve used yellow to under paint as I find it to be too transparent not to be layered over more opaque colors.
😅 whew!
Monet did not underpaint his skies with pink though he certainly was a prismatic genius. The Hensche folks often underpaint skies with pink.
Oooo my new friend
please come to the san francisco bay area and the north bay! we would love you here. let me know if i can help you find venues.
Amazing
Grande Bob i tuoi video sono molto interessanti,spiegazioni colori e tecniche eccellenti fantastico ok
Bob, how do you lose a 10x10 painting, 😂, silly. Good to see you again. I’ve not seen your jubilant vids for a long time. Now I can binge watch 😋
I am converted to red or orange backgrounds, thanks Bob. JB (UK).
HA! Thank you Joyce!
Genio!
Another great video as always
Hey Bob, have you ever used spray gesso? Krylon gesso is the one I have seen at Wal-Mart. I have about 20 large boards I would like to paint over again and reuse for school. Thanks, love your Blasts!
Szkoda ..że nie znam angielskiego....uwielbiam Ciebie Bob....chciałabym znaleźć się w Twojej pracowni choć na chwilę...jak u Van Gogha😊😊😊😊😊😊
Merci à vous pour ce "joyeux " partage de technique . pensez-vous qu'il serait possible d'avoir un sous-titre français ?
When are you coming to Miami, FL.
what a nice guy :D
Wonderful video 👏🏻
Cool
when you comin to Maine? you'd love it up here in the fall :)
i know....you book way in advance. a girl can hope, tho
I like it!
This may sound like a stupid question! I have never worked with watercolour paper much but thought it had to be soaked and taped down so it doesn’t buckle when you paint on it . Am I mistaken ?
he is using 300 lb paper, so it's very rigid. also when the gesso dries it forms a barrier that prevents the paper from getting wet.
I'm curious. Would it matter for opaque colours? Lets say i got a paper and im making it orange with acrylic painting and i want to draw on top of it with oil pastels is it going to make any difference?
Oil pastels require a rough surface. Applying gesso (any color) will smooth out the rough surface, thereby making it harder for the oil pastel to adhere. I apply gesso as a ground, giving me moire working time with the paint - before the paint soaks into the raw, ungessoed paper. Hope this helps.
What do you recommend for cutting and trimming?
Could you use a coloured house paint eg emulsion instead of gesso?
Are you using gouache or acrylic?
This must be how you make your paintings glow.
