Brushstroke techniques

Brushstroke techniques refer to the methods artists use to apply paint with a brush, creating different textures, effects, and moods. These techniques include varying brush pressure, direction, and speed to produce diverse lines and patterns. For example, quick, sweeping strokes can evoke energy, while gentle, controlled strokes offer calmness. Artists may also layer strokes to add depth, use dry brushes for rough textures, or blend colors seamlessly. Mastering these methods allows artists to express movement, light, and emotion, shaping the overall feel and impact of a painting.
