The term 'brushstroke' comes from the Latin 'ducere', which means 'to lead, to draw, to make, to form artistically'. It describes the way in which the brush is used when painting and how this is visible in the finished picture. It is about the brushstroke itself - the technique of applying paint with the brush and the marks it leaves behind. A 'lively' brushstroke, for example, can have strong, visible strokes that create a dynamic and rough surface. With a finer, more even stroke, the strokes are less visible and the image appears smoother. Brushstrokes contribute greatly to the mood of a painting, as they determine the expression of the artwork.
