Weekly BobBlast Issue 372
The Color Purple

Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
The Color Purple can be luxurious, elegant shades of various violets. On your color wheel, purple is the color between blue and red. The “elegance” depends on your taste and experience. 

Your choices of the various hues of purple may be…
•Lavender
•Mauve
•Mulberry
•Orchid
•Fuchsia

You get the idea! The color purple you decide to use doesn’t have to be the purple right out of the tube. I tend to adjust the color for my taste with varying amounts of white plus my own hues with a variety of colors in the purple family (pinks, violets, blues) - or make a beautiful neutral by adding green.

To keep track of my own personal color combinations and hues, I make my own hand-painted studio charts for reference later on. This is very helpful when I am searching for that perfect color!

Make your own chart, using a variety of purple, purple-family colors and also a variety of greens plus white. 

Now, you know more to experiment with color!

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
