Today we are moving on to our next project in our brushwork series, which is lesson #19 in the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson.

If you've been following along with us in this brushwork series, you will find much of this very familiar, as we covered similar brush strokes and animals in A Beginner's Guide to Brushwork, Lesson #19, which was...
