We are already on brushwork, lesson #15, which is officially halfway through our homeschool brushwork series! We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Lesson #15 takes the previous lesson, a lesson on the violet, and using the skills we learned, guides us through a design of the violet. Using the brushforms to paint violets, leaves, and vines, we are able to create a beautiful, circular design. Redrawing the Design on Our Grid Paper As mentioned in previous lessons, your grid paper is probably going to be different than that in the book....

There is something especially meaningful and rewarding about watching simple practice turn into something beautiful. If you’ve been following along with us in our Brushwork handicraft series, practicing the same strokes over and over, again and again, you may have at some point wondered if it’s really doing anything. This simple watercolor Christmas wreath project is here to remind you that it is. Today, we are bringing together our lessons and skills developed in the last few months, to show how a few, carefully practiced skills can be surprisingly stunning. A Simple Christmas Wreath Project This simple watercolor Christmas wreath is...

I'm so excited for brushwork, lesson #14! This lesson from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson is a lesson on the violet. It's using the brush forms that we've been learning in our previous lesson to make a different type of flower and leaves. Growing up in the north, these were what violets looked like. We always had violets in our home because they were one of my Mom's favorite flowers. My Dad would buy them for her regularly and she would always have a small pot of them on the dining room table. ...

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...
