After abandoning our design grid in our last lesson (and loving it!), for our brushwork lesson #18, we are returning to the grid. We are working through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, as part of our homeschool handicraft curriculum. Lesson #18 is a Lesson on Hares and Leaves. Now, I'm going to be honest - the hares may take a little imagination, and the leaves look a little more like lily pads, but again, this isn't about realism. Our goal is to practice and improve our brush forms, while enjoying the process. ...

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....

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...

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...

The majority of directions for this model are referred back to model #1, a clay model of an orange, our very first attempt at clay modelling. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire to cut the clay) An modelling board with an armature – hopefully...
