#93 Throw on another log: "loose" . . .


I've taught sculpture workshops for over 25 years and have been told countless times by student participants that "I'm here because I want to 'loosen' up my technique and style."

"Loose" is the ability to give an accurate impression in clay without precise modeling.  "Loose" is how it looks, not how it's done.


             

       
                An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision.
                                                                 - James McNeill Whistler
