About this lesson
Marion Boddy-Evans teaches expressive, unblended brushwork through a practical apple-painting worksheet with directional arrows, instructing painters to let brush-shape marks show, follow the object's form with directional strokes, and allow paint dribbles on vertical surfaces rather than wiping them away.
