brushwork
This term focuses on the physical evidence of the artist's hand on the canvas. It describes the tactile and visual quality of the paint application, ranging from thick, visible impasto to smooth, blended transitions. It is used primarily in art criticism and technical analysis to discuss the relationship between the artist's physical gesture and the resulting visual effect.
As a mass noun, brushwork is treated as uncountable. It refers to the collective style or technique of painting rather than individual strokes. Consequently, it does not have a plural form and is typically modified by adjectives describing quality or style, such as "loose," "precise," or "confident."
