I recently found the Bob Burridge web site and his You Tube videos called Bob's Blasts. (Check it out) He is delightful. Jack Lemmonish, quirky and personable. I love how colorful and free his work is so I am indulging myself with watching one or two segemnts a day. And I bought three of his dvds. Today I tried my first piece following his formula. I wasnt using good quality paints so didnt like the colors, even though I mixed and layered etc. I will make it a point to invest in some better acryllics. Most of my old ones were dried out so I was limited.
Im ready to jump into this to see if I can do it. Concept, colors, composition, and commitment. His formula sounds easy enough but I have never planned an abstract collage painting in this way. I may have a concept and colors, but never think about the composition, letting it lead me wherever. But they are always disappointing. Perhaps this is what will help me get results I like. We will see. It will be fun trying.
