Learn BOLD BRUSH STROKES [for all skill levels]

Learning to paint digitally isn't about knowing how every filter, blend mode and widget works. It's really about spending a lot of time just actually painting and finishing art.

In this video I cover methods on how you can modify your workflow to learn how to use brush strokes that are big bold and unique to the way you paint.

Please note that this is a video on how to learn these things. You will still need to do the actual work.
But if you stick with this exercise and gradually increase the difficulty with these suggested methods I have no doubt that you will eventually paint better, faster and with a voice of your own.

Aww no. If I could have an artist in my pocket it would be you. You could paint whatever makes you happy and whatever is your heart. That is why I pay to be part of your YouTube: because it’s “Mikko”. You are you and I’d give all my money to pay for an artist’s joy. Any artist who shares joy and creativity to anyone who wishes to learn is a teacher. In my humble opinion. I’d give everything I earned to see and share your work

Your videos have seriously made such an impact really appreciate it

Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like I'm slowly learning to overcome my mental block and truly enjoy the process of painting. Thank you, Mikko, for being my inspiration <3

"there is a time and place for painting eyelashes" love that part ❤️

On a serious note, I love how you use colors, it's like a dance of warm and cold in the painting 🤗

Your art videos have a magical aesthetic to them. Absolutely love them. 😁

A PS: for those who haven’t used Skillshare: I’d grab the 14 free days from Mikko’s post. It’s brilliant. Loads of brilliant classes.

I love your rough and bold touchness of brush and deeply touching color collection theme.

I'm a traditional artist that is trying digital art and I have to say that I appreciate bold brush strokes. Thanks for this great video.

[ultranova]

Can you pls pls pls do a skillshare class ? It will be so helpful :)

[mckennaadams]

Thank you, this is so helpful!!! I was actually just wanting to learn how to make my brushstrokes more bold and visible 💛

[arkanthor_art]

Awesome video! I struggle so much with bold brushstrokes, usually rendering the crap out of everything (especially with digital). And when I try to be bold, it's all junk. Good to see a few solid things to try.

Your videos are always like art therapy, you bring so much light and it honestly makes me excited to start something new.

[hexdigitel]

I honestly like the chunky brush strokes! Ty for the video!

[travisk]

Thank you for this video Mikko! This is a beautiful piece and I, as always, feel so inspired to paint after watching. While clients might rarely say, “paint it how you want Mikko!” I believe that the angry mob are collectively saying, “paint whatever you want, exactly how you want Mikko!”

These videos are amazing and very helpful, please don’t ever stop making videos

I really love chunky brush strokes, I was very excited for this video!

I tried drawing like high rendered stuff but I am so impacient that I cant do that. So I started with acrylics and swaped that same workflow to digital art. So I always leave in my lines and paint over it. I was amazed that there are so many ppl who dont paint like that, but I find it easier than going the way of sketching, lineart, color, render. I just go from mess to render. Really good vid Mikko

Thankyou for this video mikko! It’s exactly what I needed to boost my motivation.

I picked the default gouache brush last week and I find myself changing brushes less and less. Unless I need a different shape, I normally stick with one brush. Thanks for the tip! It was very helpful.
