This is it, guys! The end of our Brushwork Series, and the end of our lessons from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork Lesson #30, A Design of Primroses, is the final activity in the book. It brings together all of the skills we have learned since the beginning of our brushwork series. We (or at least, I) started out nervous and clueless but determined to learn a skill that I had been wanting to know my entire life. Slowly, but surely, lesson by lesson, we learned different techniques, we grew in confidence, and we...

We have reached the second to last lesson in our Brushwork Series! Wow! If you've been working along side of us, learning the beginning skills of watercolor painting, YOU ARE AMAZING!

We are in the end stretch, my friend! Today, our homeschool handicraft is brushwork lesson #28, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. It is called A Lesson on Storks and Bulrushes. This lesson builds on Lesson #19 with the ducklings being very similar to the storks, and Lesson #14 with the tops of the bulrushes being the same as the violet petals. At this point, we are practicing skills that we have already covered. The stork is a bird that stands quietly upon long, slender legs. Its snowy white feathers are trimmed with...

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...

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...

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,...
