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.

Come and join us for our brushwork lesson #24! This homeschool handicraft project is from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and is called A Lesson on Corn and Mice. It features several corn stalks and introduces a quick and simple method to paint mice. It's a fun lesson to do, even if you're not too fond of mice. In the lesson, the "corn" looks suspiciously like wheat, which bothered me more than it should. As for the mice, it was fun to see how a simple brush stroke could be the foundation of a little rodent. Our...

We are excited for our brushwork lesson #23! This homeschool handicraft project is from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and is called Design of Mountain Ash. It features five prominent branches, with designs of feathery, compound leaves and bright orange-red berries, each a hallmark of the mountain ash tree. If you've been following along with us in our Brushwork Series, you're going to find this lovely design to be easy and incredibly rewarding. Our Grid Paper With most of our brushwork lessons, we have adapted the grid paper design in the book to our own grid paper. For...

Our homeschool handicraft project for today is brushwork lesson #22 from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. This lesson is called a Lesson on Mountain Ash, featuring feathery, compound leaves and bright orange-red berries. By now in our brushwork series, we are really moving beyond the nitty-gritty, practice part. Painting actual flowers, leaves, branches, and other parts of nature, makes this handicraft even more enjoyable and meaningful. Our Grid Paper With most of our brushwork lessons, we have adapted the grid paper design in the book to our own grid paper. For this lesson, I decided to...
