I've been so excited to start this new handicraft! Brushwork is our precursor to watercolor painting. In this handicraft, we are going to learn the basics of watercolor - how to handle and control a brush, how to load a paintbrush, and how to maneuver a brush on paper. Having covered all of the basics in A Beginner's Guide to Brushwork in a Charlotte Mason Education, we will be moving on to brushwork lesson #2, which involves making a pattern with brush forms. Materials Needed The book, Brushwork, Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson (also available online HERE) 1" absorbent grid...

I am so excited about our newest handicraft - BRUSHWORK! Brushwork in a Charlotte Mason education, is a watercolor technique that is typically used to illustrate objects in nature. It begins with the most basic brush exercises, teaching a solid foundation (I think of it as a precursor) for watercolor painting. Watercolor painting is something that I have wanted to learn my entire life, and today is the day I am going to start learning. I have always loved watercolor paintings - I have them scattered throughout my home, decorating my walls and bookshelves. I admire how the...

I hope you were following along with us as we make a clay model of a saucer in our last post. Today's model is meant to be made along with the saucer, as they are two pieces of a matching set. The clay model of a plant pot that we will be making today is model #12 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Along with making the saucer, making these two models are the first time that we are creating an object without an original piece to copy. This makes the process more creative and...

Today we will be making model #11 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. This lesson is a clay model of a saucer, which is meant to be made simultaneously with model #12, which is a plant pot. Although we made them together, we will be demonstrating them separately in our videos. While working our way through this book, we've noticed that the author typically introduces at least one new and different skill with each lesson. This time is the first time that we are making something without an original object to copy. This adds...

We are officially 1/6 of the way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've questioned ourselves a few times as to why we decided to do this video series. There are 60 models in this book - and we are determined to do every single one of them. It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting down looking over this book, feeling rather overwhelmed. But as with anything, when you break it up into small pieces, it becomes very do-able. Not only that, but it is important to us to do...

I recently did a post and video on How to do an Increase in Crochet, so it only falls to reason that our next crochet blog post has to be about how to do a decrease in crochet, right? In many patterns, think of a ball shape, for example, we begin by increasing our stitches until we reach the middle area. Then we begin to decrease. Our baby chick in an eggshell project is a perfect example. The increase and decrease in crochet are stitches that will be used over and over and over again. For...
