Hi,
I confuse ‘participle clause’ and ‘dangling modifier’

this is example,
-> the artists were able to apply paint more thickly and use heavier brush stokes, introducing a unique feel to their paintings.

I think
(comma) , introducing = and the artists introduced a unique ~

But in teachers guide book says
(comma) , introducing = and it introduced a unique ~
If it is right, how to omit the subject “it” which is different from main clause subject “the artist”?

The artists were able to apply paint more thickly and use heavier brush stokes, thereby introducing a unique feel to their paintings.

The artists were able to apply paint more thickly and use heavier brush stokes. Applying paint more thickly and using heavier brush stokes introduced a unique feel to their paintings.

(comma) , introducing = and the artists introduced a unique ~ : No, not artists. It was the new painting technique.


(comma) , introducing = and it(=applying paint more thickly and using heavier brush stokes) introduced a unique ~

Thanks for your help!

Then is that sentence also participle clauses?

"…, introducing a unique feel to their paintings." is a participIAL phrase

Here is a link to the entry on dangling modifiers.

my bad! a participial phrase.
Thanks guys!
