Loose-limbed and furious
Don’t think
Work fast
Failure is your friend
Limber up and dance
throw shapes before you start
Never wear slippers
go barefoot
paint in your pants
grind your beans
and get high
Use what comes to hand
big bushy brushes
wallpaper scrapers
knives forks and spoons
Work like a berk
be a sprinter
not a marathon runner
Play punk
be a three-chord wonder
a splasher and a splosher
make a mess
but clear up after
Sing
Art is therapy
Paint for joy
