Episode 101: The Need For Speed: How Speed Painting Can Enhance Your Art

As a professional artist for over 21 years, I get it – you want that loose, expressive style, but your paintings end up feeling stiff. I'll let you in on a little secret…you're trying too hard to get that effortless look.

What's going to help you loosen up? Speed painting!

I learned about the power of speed painting almost by accident when an art consultant took the "unfinished" energetic pieces over my polished work. The process taught me a valuable lesson about play and having FUN with your art — crucial pieces to the process of making honest art®.

Speed painting may flip your creative process on its head…but your art will be better for it!
