• REQUIREMENTS:
This workshop is for the intermediate/advanced student who masters at least the three basic styles: italic, capitals (to a degree) and a book hand like the Foundational.
• TOPIC:
We will look at italic, foundational/carolingian and capitals to explore how we can vitalize them using advanced techniques like pen angle manipulation, pressure variation and retouching/buliding up of the strokes. By making the strokes themselves more dynamic and varied, we can ultimately apply this technique to any writing style.
