Loose & Free Painting

(C) 2026 Dale DiMauro


It feels great to let loose and paint freely with no expectations. Just let the colors run and use bold strokes. This watercolor was painted with just two pigments: cadmium red and viridian. I think there is a lovely freshness with this approach if you don't overdue it and noodle areas with the brush.

You can see many of the great techniques watercolor has to offer in this picture: dry brush, spattering, misting, leaving the white of the paper and letting pigments blend on the paper, etc.

Plus, this painting was painted very fast.
