A Tight vs Loose painting


Tight painting, originally uploaded by teshionx.
I followed an exercise in Wetcanvas.com, and did this painting. I assumed that tight painting means you pay attention to the minute details and paint every bit possible by you in the time you assign yourself... I took about an hour for this one..


Supposedly loose

I assumed that loose painting means you don't pay attention to the minute details, but just the blobs of colors and paint... This took me 45 mins... But I am convinced that this is still pretty tight!



I'll be drawing one more - trying to be much looser than this...

I like both of these, but I have to agree the 2nd one is still tight. Maybe next time only allow 15/20 mins for the loose one?

Yes Sue... I guess when I think of 15 mins, I end up skipping the exercise.. I have to still get around to painting that loose one!!
