How to loosen up your painting style

Do you want to explore ‘loosening up’ your painting style? This video looks at what that actually means, and some practical steps to try.

If you’re looking to paint in a looser style, I share my 10 step guide in the video, with demonstrations and explanations. Here’s a quick summary:

1. Develop art foundation skills
2. Consider the details
3. User larger brushes
4. Hold Your Brush further up the handle
5. Step back or stand up to paint
6. Decide on colours before you start
7. Work fast & distract your left-brain
8. Experiment, experiment, experiment
9. Take the pressure off the outcome
10. Stop people pleasing and focus on pleasing yourself

Remember, your art will always be unique to you and there's space for us all.

My loose watercolor look like a big mess. I do love this style and that’s why I wanted to learn watercolor in the first place. Realistic watercolor painting looks like I did it with markers. That’s why I joined your school several times over the years. I wish you had more variety of things to paint. I love fruits and vegetables
