Many of us are drawn to a painting style that is “loose”. Loose as opposed to “ tight” or full of hard edges.
We think of the French impressionist masters: Renoir, and how the women he paints look so soft. Monet, who can turn a garden or pond into an abstract profusion of well-orchestrated colors that at a distance from the canvas, turn into an organized scene. Cezanne, whose work in his later years seemed to break down a subject into component parts, a process which inspired Picasso and opened the door to a new modern painting era. Van Gogh, whose textured strokes give a sense of movement and whose bold colors give a vibrancy to his unique works.
