Mastering Brushwork: How to Capture the Texture of Nature in Your Paintings

Creating texture is an important part of painting. Whether it’s the rough bark of a tree, the soft petals of a flower, the rippling surface of water or the splash and movement of the ocean is an important part of painting

Things to consider

  • Dry brush for rough surfaces, soft brush for smooth surfaces
  • Layering to create depth and richness.
  • The shape of the brush ie., round for more organic shapes, flat for geometric shape or rough , long and thin for long lines
  • Softness or hardness of the brush
