BobBlast 307 - "Keep Loose with Expressive Brush Strokes"

BobBlast issue 307 - Keep Loose with Expressive Brush Strokes
Loosen Up …This BobBlast is another Burridge stretching and warm up exercise with "Dancing Brushes!"
When you run out of ideas to paint, but you still have the urge to make more paintings, I suggest sitting, relaxing and doodling with your watercolors. Watercolor painting can be a simple set up:
•Bowl of water
•Your watercolor palette
•Watercolor paper
•Quiet time to doodle around
I like the thought of not trying to make a pretty picture - I like to use the time to play - keeping it loose and free with expressive brush strokes. It is all about the process of painting… the fun part!
Loosening up! What a great goal when starting a painting. There are a few loosen up studio practices I keep in mind while I paint:
•Stand while I paint
•Paint at arm's length
•Longer and larger brushes
•Larger paper
•BIG buckets of water
•Wide-mouth containers of paint
•Lock your studio door, turn up the music and dance with your brush!
Remember - it's the process of painting. Have fun!
