Bold but short strokes loaded of paint called impasto that will convey a specific color when mixed sometimes in the canvas sometimes in the palete. Artists used to paint "the light " and ignore at all costs details as when one is squinting. Also impressionists avoided color black since you can find dark colors mixing alternative colors such as brown and red for a warm dark or blue and green for cooler darks. Also keep in mind that for impressionists was very important the STYLE of their strokes as it shows in an ego way your ability, intellectual, development, etc of the way you apply your paint..

How do you use a dandy brush and body brush on horses?
The Dandy brush ( also called a stiff brush) is used after the curry comb and before the softer Body brush. To use the dandy brush you should sweep it in the same direction as the hair growth using firm , short strokes with a little upward flick at the end of each stroke. It is typically best not to use the dandy on the face or any super sensitive areas as it can be too rough. The body brush (also called a soft brush) is used as a final step in the grooming. You should use longer sweeping strokes with this brush as it lays the hair and brings the oils to the surface and spreads them to add a gloss to the coat. The body brush can be used anywhere on a horses body.
