Discover how simple brush movements create expressive, beautiful marks in painting. This demonstration explores the essential strokes used to create florals, birds, animals, trees, grasses, and skies, revealing how changes in pressure, angle, and movement transform a single brush into a wide range of marks.
Explore how different brush shapes and synthetic fibres influence control, softness, blending, and expressive mark-making across watercolor, acrylic, and oil. The focus is on how tools respond to movement and medium, helping creators build confidence and ease in their painting process. The presentation also highlights advances in synthetic innovation, including high-performance, cruelty-free fibres designed for versatility and responsiveness.
Gain a deeper understanding of brush control and mark-making, and how individual strokes come together to form more complex shapes and compositions. Ophelia Staton of North Carolina will be present to support attendees throughout the session.
