FREEHAND DETAIL

Final Tip

Having said all this, I’ll repeat and stress the most important aspect of mastering freehand detail—practice. It takes time to acquire the right brush control and dexterity, to get the 'feel' of the right paint consistency, even to build up the patience for painstaking work. This guide is only a suggestion and a starting place, and not every method works for every painter. With time and experience, you’ll develop your own techniques for these details, and you’ll find yourself creating entirely new effects.
