Starting with Gusto
If you want to paint more loosely, try starting more loosely. In my experience, once I start to tighten up on the detail in a painting my mind switches gears into a much slower, measured pace, which can often be the end of the really expressive part of the painting. That is, unless I can divorce myself from being precious about the detail I've labored over creating in my painting.
If you're happy to risk sacrificing your detailed work in the later stages by attacking parts of it with more vigorous brushwork, then by all means start out in a tight fashion with a careful drawing and so on. But if you know that you do find it difficult to paint broadly after the details are painted, then I encourage you to start out as loose as possible.
