Hello again;)
-If it is a work of art
*painting with broad strokes* ,
it means concretely making wide marks with a wide brush.
-It could be an idiom as well having an indirect metaphorical sense:
Doing any thing in broad strokes means doing it in a general way without giving details.
Example:
"He didn't say much, he just talked in broad strokes".

If something is described or defined with broad stokes, then only an outline is given, without fine details.
