The Fésole Club: Flower Studies in the Fresco School

Bestowing The Brush

May's Fésole prompt! Want to join this Fésole Club virtual correspondence art class? (THIS may be your LAST CHANCE before you loose time to complete the foundational work from the first two Collingwood papers!)

***If you haven't already, go back and listen to "The Fésole Club: The Lemon" and do a lemon drawing or two-- reading my critiques on Instagram of the other lemon paintings submitted that month. When you feel confident, move on to number 2: "Boughs of the Branstock" prompt and practice one of those (check IG for comments on others' trees, too) before moving on to this Spring- themed prompt!

Step 1: Listen to my reading of Collingwood’s third paper on this podcast and be totally inspired. Listen to the end for my suggestions and recap!
Step 2: Gather and ready the materials mentioned.
Step 3: Draw, paint, make mistakes and draw again! Practice is your friend.
Step 4: Submit your best drawing for comments by emailing it to me at [e-mail] between now and May 22nd. One submission per person for the month, please :)
Step 5: Post your drawings (practice and final) to Instagram, tagged with #fesoleflowers, for me and others to see!

*** Email submissions CLOSE at 6pm CT on Wednesday, May 22nd! ***
