So ask yourself these questions as you look at the photo above.
1. Am I painting from my shoulder and not my wrist?
2. Is my middle finger loose, relaxed, and not pushing hard and bent on the brush handle?
3. If I am working on a floor easel, am I at eye level, with the height of the chair or the easel adjusted to the correct position?
4. If I am working on a floor easel, do I keep my wrist below my ear so the blood does not start to leave my arm?
5. Do you use an artist bridge to rest your arm on if painting on a flat surface?
