Discover the versatility of line in painting as you use your brush to create different effects. Explore the elements of width, value, and color to suggest movement and mood. Block out an interesting composition visually and work directly on the paper without a pencil drawing. Experiment with thin and heavy paint, varied brush sizes, and overlapping lines to create a dynamic piece. Step back and observe your work, adding additional lines or light washes if desired.

Linear Painting Using your brush as a line-maker
The potential of line using a brush • A line can have • Width/Weight • Value • Color • Can suggest movement or mood
“Stretch” or tape your paper. • Working off the large grouping of objects in front of you, block out (visually) an interesting composition. You may find a view finder helpful here. • Work directly on the paper (no pencil drawing) to “draw” your composition with your brush. • Work with thin paint, heavy paint, and varied size brushes.
You do not need to use the true color scheme. • Work the whole paper all at once. • You may overlap lines if needed. • When you have covered the page, step back and observe your piece. You may be finished, or may choose to add additional lines (or light washes) to complete the piece.
