What will you learn?

This is more than a painting course—it’s the first-ever comprehensive collection and "How-to guide" of every brushstroke used in art history! Jill Poyerd will guide you through the precise execution of each stroke, from the perfect motion to the ideal tool/brush, ensuring you master every technique. Complete with dozens of immersive painting exercises, this course will empower you to bring these legendary brushstrokes to life in your own artwork.

At the end of each lecture, Jill will guide you through a step-by-step practice painting, demonstrating each brushstroke in your chosen medium. She will  also show you how the brushstroke is used in over a dozen paintings you’ll create together! By the end of the course, you’ll have a book filled with paintings and exercises, serving as a comprehensive brushstroke reference guide.
