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. ...

We are back today to make a clay model of a carrot. Let's get a big cheer for the fact that we didn't have to substitute or spend an entire day hunting all over town for our model! This one was sitting in our kitchen pantry, just waiting to be used. The carrot is model #18 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. This model brought together the last several lessons, providing valuable practice in creating forms, modelling the form, and adding detail to that form. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free...

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...
