Brushstroke Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Decorative Painting Brushstrokes

To be honest I tend not to much care about brush strokes when I am painting except when I am trying to use the strokes to create more defined depth and perception for visual impact. I now mainly paint when I want to relax. The painting either looks good or it doesn't. I don't really care. Hey, I have been know to take a spray paint can to a canvas for an effect.

But for painting geared toward decorative or folk art, understanding brush strokes may make a difference in how other people look at your art. It never hurts to learn new things. And this looked interesting to me.
