Bold Strokes: Dynamic Brushwork in Oils and Acrylics<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n

A 144-page hardback book by Mark Christopher Weber.<\/p>\n

\"Bold<\/a><\/p>\n

This book gives the reader a process to acquire confident brush skills faster, eliminating months or years of practice time. In nine exercises the reader is given a limited time to do the initial drawing\/wash-in stage before they move on to the block-in stage, which also has a time limit. Once complete, the reader is permitted a limited number of final strokes; they can take as much time as they want to decide what strokes they want to employ and put them down. Once they place a stroke they are not allowed to alter it. The key is get the reader to think about what they’re doing before they do it. Bold brushwork requires a lot of thought and practice to develop the mental skills before it becomes a natural part of painting.<\/p>\n

Although he covers both oils and acrylics it becomes clear that he uses water-soluble oils himself. So there is good information about water mixable oils that might be helpful to new users of that medium.<\/p>\n
