The Fésole Club- The Boughs of the Branstock

Bestowing The Brush

April's prompt! Want to join this month's Fésole Club correspondence class? Go back and listen to "The Fésole Club: The Lemon" and do a lemon drawing or two, in conjunction with reading my critiques on Instagram of the other lemon paintings submitted. When you feel confident, move on to this month's prompt and submit by the deadline for critique!

Step 1: Listen to my instructions and reading of Collingwood’s second paper on this podcast and be totally inspired.

Step 2: Gather and ready the materials mentioned.

Step 3: Draw, make mistakes and draw again! Practice is your friend.

Step 4: Submit your best drawing for critique by emailing it to me at [e-mail] between now and April 24th. One submission per person please :)

Step 5: Post your drawings (practice and final) to Instagram, tagged with #fesolebranstock, for me and others to see!

*** Email submissions CLOSE at 6pm CT on Wednesday, April 24th! ***
