The upside to Brunet is that he's honest. He's showing you things he actually uses in his art. If you do want to paint like him, and your taste in art is not for anyone to judge, you'd get a lot out of his videos. It's better that you learn from honest artists, than artists who only regurgitate coursework from better sources because it's what students think they need, while processing no true competency in the material.
