How to animate artist painting

I'm building a HTML5 canvas using Animate.

I have an artist standing at an easel with a paint palette in one hand. In the other hand, they have a brush painting on a canvas. I need to animate his arm, hand and brush painting on the canvas.

I'm looking for any help/advice on how to achieve this animation.

Many thanks in advance.

    Here is a good tutorial on frame by frame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxzgAEfTto

    As Kglad said, FBF will work. Or you could use simple keyframes and a few short classic tweens to get the painter's arm moving up/down and then use an animated mask to reveal the painting with each brush stroke.

    that would probably be best with frame-by-frame animation
