- Want to loosen up your painting? Artists often say take your time when painting. Then produce tight paintings and feel frustrated. Try to mix up your painting practice with a few painting sprints. Nothing gets you to focus on what is important than this exercise. Get a loose and energetic painting while developing your skills.

You are exactly what I think of, when I think about an artist.
I am trying so hard to paint this way. It’s so difficult because I feel like when I’m painting it looks undone but yet this is what I love about impressionistic painting. I need to just do one like this and se where it takes me. I tend to fiddle too much. I’m somewhere between impressionistic and realism. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, yes it is a struggle to break out of old habits. But rewarding over time. Keep the little brushes hidden away and learn how versatile a bigger brush can be. 😊
“When I show you my art, I show you my heart.”
I cannot remember who said it first, but it helps explaining to people.
True 💯
Just live your looseness...impressionism...easy and delightful way to do these ....as you say more enjoyable than trying and stressing to get the big one done 🤗🤗
Well said!
All of your paintings have such beautiful color and light
Thank you so much!
Thanks. I learn a lot from you. I learn not only painting tips, but also your clear English language, and especially artistic terms.
Its a pleasure
How I love your confident brush strokes - and your colour mixing ability! Super demo - thank you!
Thank you so much!
This video makes me realize my oxymoronic practice of working hard to paint loosely. Thanks for your example & instruction of a better approach. .
Thanks Diana - glad this idea helps.
Super lesson, super pretty painting. Thanks.
Excellent, thank you!
I really like your video layout. Gerry clear and explanatory. Thank you indeed.
It's a pleasure, Thank you
That is magic !! The Painting is better than the photo - I love the layers in the bushes and flower section on the right - I notice that as soon as you create darker shadows , you have created sun and light .. you cannot have shadows without sun ☀️ beautiful 💜
That is true, well put.
Your artwork is excellent,great every time on all videos, I'm going to try and keep at it , 🤔 . 🖌️🎨🌳 from Frances uk ♥️
You can do it!
Beautiful!
Wise tips!
Such a nice work,and also so pleasant to hear him.
😊
Great inspiration! Looks like I'll be doing some timed sprints in my future. Thank you for your time and teaching.
Absolutely love it! Thank you for all your wonderful videos. 💕
Amazing... colour freedom - shapes
Wonderfully flowing. Love it!
Got a question
Oil -> darks first
How do lights then not get contaminated with previous lights? I love how your colors are fresh crust alive ... (you get the idea)
I see you read the comments, Malcolm ... is there anyway to have my work critiqued?
When you see shapes - is it that you squint your eyes ?
Have you joined my art school? There are a few ways to get involved and get critiques. see the free course in the description too.
Amazing skill mixing colours without getting it muddy. Thank you for that life lesson
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you Malcolm. Very timely tip. Much appreciated.
Thank you Humberto

Thank you for sharing! I like how your brushstrokes are placed deliberately on the canvas/paper.
Glad you like them!

Hi, Malcolm! I tend to overthink, and this helps tremendously. If you see it, paint it 😉 Cheers, from US!
Excellent!
This is so awesome 😎 Loved it 😍
Thank you so much!
Many thanks for the video, definately worth a try as I know I would normally get bogged down in being more fiddly with a complex scene
Good to hear that Lee
Thanks Malcolm, I must give it a try and try getting over the brain block that I have about painting loose. Your videos are really inspiring.
Thanks Sophie, your work is developing very well.
Malcolm you are a great artist, and also a genius to teach. I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much!
You are a star Selma! Thank you
@@MalcolmDewey Thanks :)
Thank you so much for this great lesson. I'm a beginner and this video is very useful to me. I like to loose paint so try to do it always. love your paintings and want to learn all lessons. Great work!
Thank you, glad to help 😊
I benefit so much from this exercise that I start each day with a 30 minute 'sprint' (The only issue for me is finding different subjects). It reminds me of exercises for improving basketball free throws and a golf swing: Do it repeatedly without time to think and allow the creativity to come out. It's also akin to stretching before exercising. This 'sprinting' is invaluable, thanks Malcolm.
Excellent, yes it is time well spent.
Question: Or Idea: Can you do a video of steps to take or things to check when you know your “Paintings Gone Wild”. Lol. By wild I mean painting was going great then next thing you realize, it’s so so wrong. Ex. Perspective was good, then it’s gone, or I fix the darks, then move to bright areas, lose darks And it looks terrible again. Lol. Maybe a check list of 5 or more basic questions to ask of your artwork/product or yourself about your work to help reground your painting and proceed. Thank you for your time
Good idea, thanks. Will put something together soon.
Thank you for the valued advice, when I try to loosen up my painting I tend to think it looks untidy, back to the painting board!
There are some unpredictable results. You have to accept that and work on the next. All part of the process. 😊
A challenge really! I'd like to paint this reference photo in 30 min too (the drawing and the preparation of palette would not be included in this time-frame though)! Thank you for inspiration, Malcolm.
You can do it Marina!
You make me believe that i can paint😁
Thanks for your tips! New subscriber here.🙋♀️
👌🏻❤
Thanks for subbing! Yes you can paint - go for it!
A great lesson! Simply and clearly explained. You have not only a talent for painting, but also a gift for learning! It is priceless to me. Sometimes I learn to paint by trying to copy the pictures I like and figure out how someone painted it that achieved this effect? How did he do it and why it doesn't work for me :)) And here it turns out that sometimes you just need to pick up a bigger brush ... In this short lesson you showed me in a wonderful way how to boldly start painting. Best regards from Poland :))
Thank you very much - enjoy it!
Sometimes I think it's not going to work.......and then you pull it off! I'm still trying!
Thanks Linda 💯
I love this! If I did a piece or exercise like this and liked it and wanted to refine it a little, what would be your next step?
Refining usually means making the shapes smaller. If that is the goal then use thinner paint to make refining easier.
@@MalcolmDewey i was thinking that too. I guess smaller shapes makes it more detailed, being the opposite of a loose, impressionist painting.
Thank you
👍👍👍👍
Love the painting! What did you prime the canvas with and why that color? Thanks
Looks like possibly cad yellow deep maybe yellow ochre. Toning a panel a neutral color helps to judge light and dark values more easily. It also helps to create color harmony when the little bits of color show through.
It is yellow ochre. Just a warm tone to aid the process as described by Gallery Bry. Mostly I leave it white to keep colors bright, but a tone is good practice too.
Hello, your oils seems to be very fluid. Do you use any medium with them?
Not during painting. They are soft out the tube. But if your paint is firm add a few drops linseed oil and work it in before painting. A bristle brush also helps.
I am a beginner just learning things. I like to do abstract painting but don't know where to start. You mentioned free online courses for painting on your website. What this course is all about? If this course is for beginners? Thanks a ton
Yes for beginners, take a look and decide if it looks right for you.
Your paint is so much more creamy than mine. I have tried added a touch of linseed oil, but it is still not fluid enough. I am using Old Holland, Gambling...maybe my white is a bit dry...
Surprised to hear that. Both those paints should be buttery. If you use linseed only add a few drops to titanium white. Also use a bristle brush.
@@MalcolmDewey thanks, I suspected that my titanium was on the dry side. I will do that. I do use a bristle brush. Love your demos. After 40 years of painting professionally, I am learning to paint.
