I'm sorry, but I laughed the whole way through. Watching your brush approach the canvas then back away. It made my day. What a great exercise!

I’m interested in how you can get so much paint on to just the tip of your brush. Whenever I mix paint it travels all the way up to the ferrule and makes an awful mess. Also the paint never seems to want to come off the brush and onto the canvas.

Would you do a video on brush technique/paint application? When I did this exercise, my first stroke left a trail of paint behind, front the edges of the brush. Obviously I am pressing too hard and/or using too much paint. But I suspect there are other things I’m doing wrong too.

This week I had little time to paint but still wanted to practice. This exercise was just perfect.

Tried this for my first ever oil painting and only about the 30th painting ever. I’m not an artist but wanted to learn. I first picked up a paintbrush less than a year ago (not counting kindergarten lol). I had so much fun doing this! It has some things I would do differently now but overall, was pleased with the result. Thanks!
