It just occurred to me that we are SO CLOSE to the end of this brushwork series! There are 30 lessons in the book we are working through, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Today we'll be doing brushwork lesson #27, A Design of Anemone, which is a follow up from Lesson #26, A Lesson on Pink Anemone. A French anemone is a dramatic flower with large blooms on a long, strong stem. The beautiful petals surround a dense central cluster of pistils that create a dark center, which can look swirled when looked at from above. Our...

Our homeschool handicraft project for today, is a clay model of an oak leaf. This is model #39 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it’s part of our clay modelling series. We've made clay models of leaves before (a laurel leaf, a poplar leaf, and an ivy leaf), so this should not be a massive challenge. We are going to use the principles and skills from previous lessons and add some detailing. An oak leaf can vary in shape and size depending on the tree. Oak leaves are typically broad and flat with a strong...

Let's do some watercolor painting for our next homeschool handicraft project. Brushwork lesson #26, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and is called A Lesson on Pink Anemone. A French anemone is a dramatic flower with large blooms on a long, strong stem. The beautiful petals surround a dense central cluster of pistils that create a dark center, which can look swirled when looked at from above. Our Grid Paper Your grid paper is probably going to be different than that in the book. I say this because I looked everywhere for grid paper that was similar...

Today we are making our second pair of mussel shells (I hope you saved your shells from Lesson #31!). Lesson #38, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin, is a clay model of a pair of mussels shells (concave). First we made a convex pair, and now we are making the concave version. Come join us as part of our homeschool handicraft clay modelling series! Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire to cut...

Are you ready for brushwork lesson #25? Our homeschool handicraft project for today is from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and is called A Design of Corn and Mice. This lesson is very similar to the previous brushwork lesson, which features several corn stalks and introduces a quick and simple method to paint mice. If you're following along with us, you'll want to make sure that you've complete Lesson #24, a Lesson on Corn and Mice first. Our Grid Paper Our grid paper and grid design has been our security blanket during this brushwork series,...

Are you ready to tackle our next homeschool handicraft project? Today, we are making a clay model of a mushroom. We'll be making it lying upside down, on a slab. This project was great practice into creating a three-dimensional feel with lots of detail. It is model #37 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it’s part of our clay modelling series. We may have cheated a little. Instead of mushroom hunting in the forest, we ran over to our neighborhood grocery store and got a package of mushrooms. We used one for...
