Are you looking to paint looser?

A few years ago I decided I wanted to paint with more freedom. I believe our approach to painting is a reflection of our personalities.

Highly detailed realism, which I started out trying to learn, was never a good fit for my personality as I am just not a detailed particular type of person.

So I decided to paint in a way that was more natural for me.

As a result, I started painting a lot looser.

And it freed me up to the point painting became a joy.

The video above is an example of my approach now to painting.

I use big brushes, luscious amounts of paint, and bold mark-making.

I definitely don’t try and paint details, and I am no longer concerned about painting in a way where I accurately replicate a photo or subject.

Painting looser has changed the way I feel about painting.

Now I love to paint as much as I can. I love pushing paint around.

Is painting looser right for everyone? Probably not. Some people are suited to highly detailed perfectly rendered realism.

But for a lot of people painting looser can free you from the constraints you may currently feel about your painting.
