What are some effective paint brush techniques for beginners?

For beginners, I recommend starting with techniques like dry brushing, stippling, and wash. These are easy to learn!

Can you explain dry brushing?

Sure! Dry brushing involves using a brush with very little paint on it to create a textured effect on the canvas.

What about stippling?

Stippling is a technique where you use the tip of the brush to create small dots or dashes, adding depth and texture.

How do I do a wash technique?

A wash technique involves diluting your paint with water to create a translucent layer, perfect for backgrounds.

Any tips for blending colors?

Yes! Use a clean, damp brush to gently mix colors on the canvas while they are still wet for a smooth transition.
