Art Lesson: Brush technique. Learn the feel of the paint on the brush: to know how much paint is needed for a thick or thin application of color. The thicker the paint, the richer the darks, and the lighter the lights. Like any skill, learning brush strokes happens through patience and practice. Wyland's depiction of a wave at the famous pipeline, off the north shore of Oahu, creates a perfect testing ground for brushwork. Discover how to hold a brush loaded with paint and still make a sensitive stroke so almost no paint comes off. Skills acquired here may be refined for further practice.
