Week 2 Lesson 1 – Brushes and Their Strokes
Objective:
You will learn to use paintbrushes, rags, palette knives, and any other tools your imagination can discover to create textures with thin and thick paint. The types of tools you use are only limited by your experience and ingenuity. Tools like paintbrush bristles can enliven your paintings and create rich tapestries of colors and values to enhance the feeling of realism and harmony in your work.
Key Concepts:
– Exploring different brush types (Long Flats, Long Filberts/Egberts, Synthetic/Hog Bristle Combos, Full Synthetic, and Mongoose/Badger Hair) for texture.
– How loose and dynamic brushwork can add movement to a painting.
– Using thick and thin paintstroke applications to build texture in petals and leaves.
