the brush is like a ballerina slipper, you move it up and down to make the stroke thicker as you press down, thinner as you lift up. this is a gentle movement. the tip of the brush is the ballerina's toe, you press more to the "ball of the foot" rarely pressing the entire brush (slipper) all the way down
I appreciate the analogy of a dancing brush🖤
Thank you! Sumi-e is such a lovely creative process, of course you would connect to that!
