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...

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,...
