“Every brushstroke is intentional is a lie” says someone who isn’t an artist
They’ve never painted if they claim this. I am so sick of Dunning-Kruger victims tutoring other Dunning-Kruger victims and thinking they’ve actually made some sort of meaningful point. We make various decisions, we sometimes methodically paint every stroke, sometimes we are more intuitive due to years of practice. We make placement decisions, color decisions, direction of brushstroke decisions, which brush to use decisions, and on and on and on.
Here are some artists explaining the decisions they must make as they paint. Or just things like prepping to paint, thinking and planning color, doing studies to understand more, etc.

These are traditional artists, but digital artists must make the same type of decisions—there’s no way no avoid making them. If some decisions are rapid and sometimes intuitive, again, that is due to years of practice and experience. The first hundred times we painted we were far more mindful.
The problem is that they are so clueless that they focus only on the actual strokes, brush to surface, when we are also thinking about color, tone, temperature, placement, value, etc. We are forced into making all these decisions—we are painting everything ourselves! Who else is going to pick that color or move that brush? We don’t have AI doing it for us!
