6 Ideas for Painting Loosely
Intro
Painting loosely is kind of an elusive thing. What does it mean? Why do we love it so much? Learning how to open up your paintings can lead to making refreshing and exciting images. Here I share 6 (actually 7!) ideas for making a successful painting that you can feel proud of--one that leaves the doors open for the viewer to connect with you, and with your art.

Welcome to Anne Livingston Art Channel!
I am a lifelong painter who has taken my practice to a professional level later in life. It's been such a transformative experience, and I want to share what I've learned with you, to help you grow your art skills and art practice--including starting an art business if that is part of your dream! On this channel I share art and painting tips, lessons, inspirations, and concrete art business information. I'm so glad you are here!

I love the analogy of classical vs jazz music! Thx for the great perspective on painting loosely and helpful, specific tips. 👍
"Painting with as few strokes as possible" - love it ❤️

Thank you for watching!! 🥰
I love your 'loose' paintings. Your loose is clear and crisp to me. I used to associate loose with sloppy after a watercolour tutor I had used to splash paint all over the place. I do like a modicum of self control! 😂 Setting a timer is such a good idea and I like the bonus idea too! 😍

Yes, the modicum of self control! Successful loose is weirdly about discipline, for me at least!
I often get so caught up on the details of my paintings and drawings. I’m definitely going to try these tips. Thank you!

Oh, great! I am glad they sound like they have potential. ♥️
I love your art style that’s displayed here. It looks so effortless and does leave a lot in the empty space to be imagined by us which is fun. I also watched your Notan video and it really made this art style seem achievable and simple so I’m glad you brought it up here too for those that maybe haven’t seen that one yet. I’m really excited to try these tips out this weekend! 🎉

@@annelivingstonart absolutely. Where can I share it with you? Email? Do you use Instagram or Facebook? Oh! I could possibly tag your channel in a community post too.
Although I’m not building an art practice, I do paint and draw here and there. Mostly abstract pieces using mixed media. It’s been a while though. I enjoy watching artists create and listening to the process is fascinating to me. There’s a yearly local art fair this summer that I can’t wait to go to. Local artists in a neighboring county on the coast gather in this beautiful cove near the ocean to showcase their art of all kinds. Food and music. You would LOVE it! I’ll be thinking of you while I’m there this summer! ❤😊
