IMPRESSIONIST BRUSHSTROKES
Broken spaced Brushstrokes are used to communicate two distinct ideas. The first being representational brushstrokes for realistic interpretations and second for expressionistic brushstrokes playing with abstract ideas the later is improvisation the former representational. Together viewers receive visual impressions of feeling and substance. Broken spaced gaps in between allow under colors to shine.

TWO FUNDEMENTAL TYPES OF STROKES
These two different types contrast and complement one another, providing the artist creative latitude to express his or her moment cohesively. These Brushstrokes are used to communicate two distinct ideas.

Illustrative – communicates what matters, painting the object, it needs to follow the object. (for representational expression) – Illustrative is a kind of descriptive brushwork that simulates reality

Expressive stroke – more abstract has its own rights, not other than itself, an emotional a fragment, that does not follow confines of logic or the form or perspective. (for poetic expression) – Expressive brushwork mirrors passion and feelings
