Resources for learning paint application




Hi, everyone.

I have been searching the net and this forum for information on brushstrokes and paint application. My awe of painters such as Sargent, Remberant, Burton Silverman, and others is in their ability to represent planes of surfaces with simple strokes that contain the correct color value. I do not find much information on these artists actual techniques. I become frustrated with my own work when I fuss with an area and lose that expressive element that a great brushstroke can give. Does anyone know of any resources, books, or videos that could help me? Is there a brushstrokes for dummies out there?
