Brush exercise

Hold your brush like you are passing someone a pencil or the non-business end of a pair of scissors as in "here ya go..." But keep the brush in your hand, you'll need it.This is a looser grip than the Pinch with pressure from your thumb holding the body of the brush against your index and middle finger. Your ring finger and pinkie will wrap loosely and sort of serve as rudders.

Rest your knuckles on your paper and using wrist motion scrapethe edge of your brush against the paper.Alter your brush position and the angle of your wrist as you try different strokes.Try to paint some detailed or linear stokes with this grip. (Good luck)Rolling your brush between your thumb and fingers as you paint makes for interesting textural effects.Held loosely, the brush gives you more control in getting your intent on paper.

Most of the fine control in this grip in in your fingertips and wrist.You have more control that the Pinch grip. Just in a different way.If you feel up to exploring a little impressionism, this brush grip would be one to keep in mind.
