Everyone Has Been Lying To You About Brushes

Ever wondered why your art still feels flat, plastic, or lifeless, even when your fundamentals, lighting, and values are great? In this video, I take a different approach on the question: "Do brushes actually matter?" We often hear people say, "brushes don't matter, just focus on fundamentals." But the truth is, brush technique is part of a fundamental of its own. We forget to learn how to use brushes and texture, why we need them and how they bring personality and life back into our art when we think they don't matter at all. ► Have you subscribed?
