Episode 15: Brush Drawing with Richele Baburina

Bestowing The Brush

In this episode, I'm discussing Brush Drawing with Richele Baburina! Richele not only writes articles for Charlotte Mason Poetry, but also manages the CMP math resources page, has written three math books, and has created a beautiful basic Brush Drawing course, all the while home educating her two boys and helping her husband with flat art preservation. Listen in and learn about this watercolor art form that is a critical part of a Charlotte Mason education!
