I am a huge fan of impressionistic artwork and am constantly trying to get a 'looser' feel / look to my paintings. Some of my favorite artists who excel at this style are
Victor Wang and
Karin Jurick. Some of the daily painters attempt to complete a painting a day. Last year that is something I pledged however very hard to stick to so this year I have made the resolution to :
1. Sketch everyday
2. Paint more often
This seems more achievable to me.
Do check the above artists out...there is so much I learned from studying their works.
