Beautiful Brushstrokes Step by Step

This title contains complete instructions for executing a range of brushtrokes from the most basic to the more challening, plus five strokework projects. Detailed photographs clarify how to build each individual stroke, from the proper loading of the brush, to placing bristles on the surface, pressing down, turning or pivoting the brush, lifting up and finishing off. All the conventional brushstrokes are covered plus many that are unqiue and innovative. Within the projects are easy-to-follow demonstrations of scrollwork, a strokework border, lettering, leafing and faux finishing.
