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...

We are progressing to Lesson #7, in our brushwork series, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork, Lesson #7 is a natural progression from Lesson #6 which had us painting rose hips and their leaves. Today we are going to be using the skills we learned, by painting a design of rose hips and their leaves. Once again, as in lesson #6, the grid paper used in the book is a different size than the one we are using. So, once again, I adjusted the design a little bit so that the pattern would fit onto our grid. ...

Our next lesson in our brushwork series is more than additional practice. Brushwork, lesson #6, from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, is a model lesson on hips and leaves. It takes an autumn nature walk and turns it into an in-depth examination of nature. If you are a Charlotte Mason homeschool family, this sort of lesson will feel very familiar. You can seamlessly incorporate this lesson in brushwork into your nature walks. What are Hips? Let's us first start with a definition and concept of what these plants are. This book was originally published in 1903...

So far, our brushwork series has moved at a comfortable pace, allowing us to practice and improve our brush strokes. Today we are doing brushwork, lesson #5 from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. This lesson has us doing all of the previous brush forms in a decorative pattern. Once again, like in lesson #4, and I'm going to assume in many of the upcoming lessons, the grid paper used in the book seems to be about 1/2″ squares. Our grid paper is 1″ square grid paper, and probably a different size overall. Therefore, unfortunately,...

Although we are still in the beginning phase of our brushwork series, we are loving it! It's exciting to learn how just the smallest tweak of the brush, or just a little pressure can change everything that you are creating! I'm even more excited to experience where this is going to lead us, as we practice more and more. Today we are doing brushwork, lesson #4 from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. This book gently walks the student through a series of 30 lessons, with the goal of training oneself in the beginnings of...
