Loosen Up

Easier said than done. I am trying to be looser with my painting and have been doing some "exercises" to get into the groove. A little Jessie Cook on the Ipod, the biggest brushes I can find and lots of wet paint flying on the paper and the walls...Here is a sample. It looks ok from a distance, so you have to "step away from the paper" alot.

Here is a close up... what a mess but tons of fun...

Here is another sample....

So the technique works with trees as the subjects... Next a canvas....
