Brushstrokes are at the core of being an artist,and an individual'sbrushwork isoneof the things that sets them apart from otherartists. Using her approachable, easy-to-understand teaching method and lots of hands-on activities, artist Jill Poyerd breaks down historic and contemporarybrushwork into twenty-two unique brushstrokes, using both oil and watercolor paint in her demonstrations.
This course ispart one of a two-part series and covers twelve of the twenty-two strokes.
They are broken down by style of application and includea brief history, examples ofhow they'reused in masterpieces, visualdemonstrations, and student practice exercises. By combining technical learning with visual andhands-on examples, students will gain a thorough understanding of each brushstrokevariation. Part one covers invisible strokes, direct painting, strokes that use light amounts of paint, and strokes that use thick, impasto paint.
Note:
Demonstrations are given in both watercolor and oil paint. Acrylic painters simply have to apply the knowledge depending on how they use that medium, whether thick (like oil) or thin (like watercolor).
Who this course is for:
Any level painter working in watercolor, oil, acrylic, or gouache.

Well done organized, with useful data for whose is beginner in the subject.

Very thorough lessons, straightforward, simplifies the technique, high quality videos. I love the art history incorporated into the lessons. The 3 videos on art history at the end of the course were beautiful and interesting. Weirdly, the instructors vocal quality was soothing to listen to. It seems to suit a sort of meticulous, careful person, which seems to be indicated by the content of the lessons, which were rather analytical and scientific. That is not to say the instructor was not expressive. She was, as is witnessed by her object paintings. This course was very helpful to me as a second course in just learning how to paint watercolor.

Awesome job, one of the best art courses on Udemy. It definitely worth to watch. Thank you so much!

By Sandra Pitter on 9/12/2020

As a beginner the course gave me an understanding of how different stokes are made, as well as the opportunity to practice each stroke. I have also learned to look at existing paintings in a different way, and I can now recognise the marks.
