    Course 2 of 10 of category  Complete Program  

Brushwork (and how you apply dry media such as pastel or graphite) enhances the visual music of your work by giving it a second level of abstraction. If you zoom in on any part of the painting, it becomes an abstract painting in itself. This is one of those other skills that differentiates the real master artists.

Here are some of the things you will learn on these brushwork courses:

  • Basic brushwork techniques - how to hold and use the brush and the different kinds of brushstrokes you can make
  • Descriptive brushwork - how to make your brushwork say more with less and developing interesting brushwork while improving the abstract quality of your paintings
  • Focal areas - make your paintings more interesting by varying the amount of detail
  • Suggestion - take advantage of the principle of suggestion to make your paintings more interesting
  • Edges - how to incorporate a full range of edges in your paintings, from hard to soft
  • Optical color mixing - a look at various approaches to allow the viewer's eye to mix the color rather than mixing them fully on the canvas
