Personal Notes on Brushstrokes
Just For My Dear Artist Friends,
I’m writing to send you information about a pamphlet project on Brushstrokes in Painting: My Personal Notes on Everything You Need to Know to Help You Create Exciting, Spontaneous Paintings.
During the lockdown, I offered a Zoom Master Classes to a handful of painters. A question about brushstrokes came up. Because of how important strokes are, I decided to write about personal ideas that helped me master brushstrokes.
Improper use of brushstrokes results to clumsiness that turns enthusiasts off; when used skillfully, strokes create beautiful movements and attract art lovers.
With six weeks lockdown of free time for research, the essay grew from notes to new insights: all you need to help you create exciting, spontaneous paintings. For effective reading, and visual pleasure we assisted the text with masterpieces in history by some of the best portrait painters.
Because of a last minute publishing deal, we printed a little more than we needed for my students, former students, and my mentees. For a small cost you could own this exclusive PERSONAL NOTES for yourself or a gift for a friend.
