We are going to paint butterflies today! I was so excited to do today's brushwork lesson! It's amazing to me that what started as simple brush forms has progressed to painting beautiful butterflies in just 13 lessons. If you are following along with us, we are working our way through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson as part of our homeschool art curriculum. The goal of Brushwork, Lesson #13 is to take everything we've learned so far - all the way back to Lesson #1 - and incorporate it all into our butterfly design. No one...

Who's ready for Lesson #12 in our brushwork series? Today we are stepping away from the wonderful world of flowers and leaves, and we are going to be painting some chickens! Our lesson comes from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork, Lesson #12 is taking what we learned in our earlier lessons, oblique brush form from Lesson #4, and adapting those skills into something new and different. You'll be amazed how a set of two or three oblique brush forms can be shaped into chicks, and hens, both standing and sitting. Can...

My thorough enjoyment of the handicraft, brushwork, continues today, as we move on to brushwork, lesson #11. This lesson is titled, Lesson of Scylla, and is a natural follow-up from lesson #10, a lesson on the scylla. As we previously learned the scylla (also spelled scilla) is a beautiful blue flower from the hyacinth family. It blooms in the early spring, typically in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with intense blue star-shaped blossoms. The face of the flower is generally faced downwards. As we work through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, we are gently guided to practice...

Today I am excited to be doing the next lesson in our brushwork series. Lesson #10 is a lesson on the scylla. The scylla (also spelled scilla) is a beautiful blue flower from the hyacinth family. It blooms in the early spring, typically in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with intense blue star-shaped blossoms. The face of the flower is often faced downwards. We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and are thoroughly enjoying it. In brushwork, lesson #10 we continue to practice our brush forms, adding greenery in the form of...

Today we are moving on in our brushwork series to lesson #9, which is a design of yellow dahlia, a beautiful flower with many pedals. We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, and are enjoying it immensely. Brushwork, lesson ##9 is taking what we learned from lesson #8 on yellow dahlia, and creating a beautiful design that uses all of the skills we've learned so far. I am just amazed how our initial lesson in brushwork have been developed into this design! This also underscored the importance of doing each of these brushwork lessons in...

I was quite excited to start our brushwork, lesson #8. This is a lesson on yellow dahlia, and it's my first time attempting such a flower. The book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, has a wonderful way of easing you into each skill, and then developing that skill and using it in many ways. In this lesson, the author takes us from simple brush forms to using those same brush forms in flower pedals, buds, and leaves. What if My Grid Paper is Different from the Book? Your grid paper is probably going to be different...
