For the discerning artist, a good brush is not just a tool, but an extension of your very soul. Or, at the very least, a good way to make a mess.
Don't just paint, slash. Make bold strokes, like you're trying to tear the canvas to shreds. It's a technique known as 'Expressive Aggression,' and it's all the rage in modern art circles.
Try it out on our Angry Strokes subpage.
For those who prefer a more subtle approach, try the Furtive Flick. It's all about applying paint with a delicate touch, like a nervous twitch in the dead of night.
Visit our Secret Strokes subpage for more on this technique.
Some artists are naturally morning people. The rest of us? Not so much. That's where the Faux-Stroke comes in – a special technique that makes you look like you're awake and alert, even when you're not.
