I feel like we are using the term "loose painting" very loosely (pardon the pun). How do you define a loose painting? Do you use that to describe a specific style? Or the amount of detail in a painting? Or how abstract the shapes are? While I do have my own opinion on what a loose painting means, I want to know more about what you think. The biggest mistake I can make as an instructor is to assume what my students think. So, if you have a moment, please let me know what is a loose painting for you and why do you want to learn how to paint a loose painting?

These questions are legit and it is great to know. But quite often, they are the wrong questions to ask. Notice, I said “wrong questions” not “bad questions” Why do people ask questions? Because there’s a problem to solve. But if you ask a good question at the wrong time, it’s not going to solve your problem. Therefore it is a wrong question to ask.
