Anne, unfortunately there i...Thank you, Mary!! : )<br /><br />Anne, unfortunately there is no easy lesson on brush strokes. I think mostly it's a matter of style. But there is one thing I will say that has taken me far, and that's variety. If all your brush strokes are the same (length, width, heaviness, direction, etc.) then your painting will tend to be...fairly blah. But if you make sure and vary your strokes wherever possible, you will make your painting more dynamic. I am not always successful with this! Especially when I forgot to use different sized brushes as I paint. But I try. I hope that helps!Carol Marinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855632528757673268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-57101528847974836172015-05-28T06:12:19.401-07:002015-05-28T06:12:19.401-07:00Carol, I love this.

Can you elaborate on brush strokes (in addition to what you wrote in your book?). Thanks!!!
