Loosey Goosey (a study)

When I was a kid, we’d call this sort of style loosey goosey. This is simply about getting some marks down on the paper, and perhaps some color in to suggest a palette. These days I call it quick & dirty but that doesn’t sound nearly as fun (just much more accurate)

No offense to geese is intended or should be inferred

  1. Well, all I have to say is that I just love this one. The colors are muted and the young woman looks very absorbed by her thoughts. Good enough to hang on a wall. It almost looks I the same style as a painting I used to have from Andre Bertounesque.

  2. Sometimes less is more. The tighter you try to hold onto something, the more it slips from your grasp… Go players would say this piece has a lot of aji

  3. You are too funny.
    I love this one. She looks in deep thought.
    Her eyes, lips, hair and the mysterious details left out intentionally.

      • There you go again throwing out the lingo I have to research. The spice. The sauce. Got it! I agree most of the time less is more. You got have room to breathe.

        • Sorry about the confusing terminology. In this case I would translate aji as potential, but in the sense that it indicates something being unfinished or unresolved. Unsettled might be the best translation. Rough sketches are still kinda up in the air, leaving the artist with a lot of options for a final destination

          That’s the fun part of leaving something loose…
