Why Painting Looser Works
Painting looser is relaxing and it helps create a more appealing piece of artwork. There are other reasons to try painting looser, but these are my reasons. Painting is therapeutic for me and creating a beautiful result makes it all worthwhile.
My art mentor preaches relaxed form while painting, so it’s a natural stance for me now as I work. I prefer the standing position while I paint at a high-top surface using a tabletop easel. It makes it easier to wield my paint brush like a magic wand if I’m standing in front of an easel.
You heard it right; I hold my brush like it is a wand! This way my entire body is involved with every brushstroke. It’s a very relaxing stance. Try it! You may love the results!
